Just here to say that the 'Pattern of patterns' song from #Numberblocks is a total banger.

Numberblocks - Series 6: The Pattern of Patterns

In the Pattern Palace, Six sings a song telling us about the different types of pattern all around us. Can you spot them all?

My kids really wanted to watch the newest season of #Numberblocks but it isn’t available in the US…

Luckily, their dad is a L33t H4ck3r with a VPN subscription which opens up access to all episodes via the BBC iPlayer.

They’re currently watching #Colourblocks, which is making me appreciate how vibrant our old 55” #plasma TV is.

Watching series four of Numberblocks with the toddler this morning, and in the finale song I finally spotted how they represented 42: Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, with towel and tea

So the people behind Numberblocks and Alphablocks made one about colors and and boy, first time I learned how CYMK system works! #Numberblocks #BBC
Did I mention that this #NumberBlocks kids show is really fantastic?
In our second session of the day, we heard from Jørn Hafver who trained an AI in audio recognition right in front of us - so it could tell how loud we were clapping at the end. Ben Ashforth spoke about a journey he went on, inspired by a talk from the last gathering, to visit roads named after every day of the year (details at http://benguin.co.uk/roads). @alisonkiddle talked about the maths behind the games Guess Who and Which One Doesn't Belong, and has a pleasing binary chop device made from card with pins and holes. Phil Ramsen followed up on his talk from three years ago and discussed slide rules and Kolmogorov. Daniel Johnson explored the possibly surprising link between Numberblocks and Polyominoes (https://youtu.be/htnZGHjX8p4?si=YzAXxPP7lT2-_Do5&t=522)- and @Tarim said what we've all been thinking and pointed out some illogical song lyrics - lions don't really live in the mighty jungle, and Kilimanjaro is nowhere near the Serengeti! #mathsjam #maths #ai #travelling #guesswho #wwdb #sliderules #means #averaging #kolmogorov #numberblocks #polyominoes #songs #logic #lyrics

Tengo a los cachorros viendo #Numberblocks en el único sitio donde los hemos encontrado: YouTube.
Aproximadamente cada 2 minutos hay que comerse un anuncio. #elde6 es muy rápido ya omitiendo en cuanto sale el cartelito, y yo, sin pensar he dicho:
- Cuando YouTube empezó a existir, no había anuncios. Nunca.
- ¡Qué suerte! - ha dicho maravillado, añorando un mundo que no ha conocido.
Me ha hecho reflexionar el pequeño detalle. Es un niño que odia las imposiciones y percibe los anuncios como algo impuesto.
En la tele de dos canales de los 80 lo percibíamos como algo inevitable e incluso tarareábamos las sintonías de algunos. Lo vivíamos con una naturalidad que ahora los niños rechazan. Y por un lado me parece positivo, pero por otro me pregunto si no tiene también una parte negativa por aquello de la tolerancia a la frustración y los tiempos de espera.
