If you haven't seen this one, I highly recommend it:
Indistinguishable From Magic: Manufacturing Modern Computer Chips

It's quite old but I think there is no modern version of it.
I've tried posting to HN a few times but it hasn't gained traction for some reason, but I find it absolutely mind blowing.
I rewatch that every year as a reminder of what we're capable of. Great video.
Videos in general don’t get much traction here. Most of the time I don’t want to watch them in this context either, when other sites I do.
Maybe it’s just I come here for the old web feel when video was costly, rare and short.
Which is a pity, because lots of videos really need to be seen to be fully appreciated. Especially the ones showing stuff being made. And the ones that tend to show up here are usually worth the time.
I'm totally with the text folks on the 5 hour Fossdem sessions, though. Give me an accurate transcript I can grep or don't even bother.
There's something to it. I personally am happy to have one of these few precious places left where I can find content to read rather than watch.
Video links are naturally gonna get less clicks from people scrolling HN at work :)
Yeah, I understand and partially agree.
However I've discovered wonderful gems like this RAM video.
