> a clear explanation of a compression algorithm

The huffman tree, LZ77 and LZMA explanation is truly excellent for how concise the explanation is.

The earlier Veritasium video on Markov Chains in itself is linked if you don't know what a markov chain is.

I expected Veritasium to tank when it got sold to private equity & Derek went to Australia, but been surprised to see the quality of the long form stuff churned out by Casper, Petr, Henry & Greg.
