This is very similar in style to my favorite presentation and paper of all time, titled On The Turing Completeness of PowerPoint [0]. The research, presentation and paper were all created inside of powerpoint and it is probably the greatest thing ever made. If you enjoyed the above video you will definitely enjoy this.

That was a great video! Unfortunately, clicking on each cell's entries really slows down computations.

At National Supercomputing Center For Energy and the Environment we retrofitted all the PowerPoints to use timed animations. Now all computations execute in constant time. There is no need to click! As a special bonus, the code is no longer susceptible to side-channel timing attacks.

The style seems to be clearly inspired by the said awesome presentation (e.g. the inclusion of the "Motivation: N/A" slide).
