@dfateyev To see subtitles, click on the "CC" button on the bottom right of the video player. You can do an internet search for "watching you tube videos with captions" for more detailed instructions.

It's great to see some good EE researchers like Berlekamp etc in this video. I've never seen them and have only read their papers:-).. One must also admit that a lot of good work on information theory these days is being done by computer scientists and physicists.

Uninspired drivel documentary. Wasted perfectly good subject matter / interest potential

The coolest thing is they did it all by them self , with no help. He could have done this with a stick in the woods.
