You’re not sure if someone building a RAM clean room in a shed is appropriate for HackerNews, literally “news for nerds”? A dictionary purchase may be warranted

I think he plans to go far beyond just making RAM in that clean room. This is pure speculation, but I suspect the goal of that channel is to just make doom from scratch.
Given that the shed in this guy’s backyard is already approaching the entire national technological output of any country in the 1970s I think he may get there.
In a comment he says he is doing it for some research into a related thing (somethiing to do with GaN sheets?)
Agree with the sentiment, but “news for nerds” is Slashdot.
Slashdot still exists?
Well, “exists” is a pretty broad spectrum.

Ok, maybe I'm being a bit cynical. Stories about bikeable cities are welcome too. And wasn't Soylent popular for a hot minute back in the day?
Yeah but it's a YouTube video. Those tend not to do super well on the front page.
It’s perfectly ok to submit links that don’t reach the front page!
