Would love to see more discussions on research papers here, including on the talks. As a reference for the cosmology community, the Cosmology Researcher Talks database is a searchable catalog of openly avail talks w links to speaker's papers the talk is based on

Another useful tool to identify/probe highlights & get timestamps in 1 or more yt videos is gistr.so. Like NotebookLM, can mix in PDFs & webpages along with video(s) as sources. Unlike NotebookLM, watch the video, take notes, explore topic timestamps, etc all in same browser window.

Use Case: Quickly identify what was said about :topic in list of multiple yt talk videos (e.g., at a conf), including timestamps to those segments
Tip: Use google's NotebookLM, add talk urls to a notebook, then ask your questions. The AI uses the transcripts as source to provide the output.

A little teaser at 43:27: Are the LCDM tension & Hubble tension related?
His take is no, they're different, from segment "5 facts about hints for DDE (and Hubble tension)" starting 38:26

"It seems to me the universe gave us three things to make life bearable: hope, jokes, and dogs. But the greatest of these gifts was dogs."
