This is one of the less-edited transcripts; I often try to change it from one long sentence, which is appropriate for talks, to many smaller sentences and paragraphs, which reads better online; also I try to delete false starts and so on. I’ve been busier and putting less time into the editing, so some of the quality decrease from previous summaries is me.
I’m also becoming less confident that his ‘reminders at the beginning of the next lecture’ are the right summaries to use; they’re much more “ok, here’s where we were, now let’s keep going” instead of “here’s the main change from the last lecture, now let’s look at the next topic in order.”
[There’s also a big inferential distance problem here, where he’s built up some jargon and summarizes his points in that jargon, which (of course) does not make the points any easier to transfer. Like, this really isn’t a substitute for the lectures yet!]

If I edited it, I’m not sure there would be anything left. :)
