If you haven't seen this one, I highly recommend it: Indistinguishable From Magic: Manufacturing Modern Computer Chips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4&t=2070s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGFhc8R_uO4&t=2070s 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.

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.

  Yeah, I understand and partially agree. However I've discovered wonderful gems like this RAM video.

  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.

I rewatch that every year as a reminder of what we're capable of. Great video.

  Yep, me too. Still feels magical after all these years.

The whole process was deep magic to me before I watched that video. It didn't seem less magical after I've watched it. More so, if anything. Asianometry[0] has a number of videos on EUV lithography that cover some of the mind-blowing advances in the years since. Veritasium[1] recently also made a video on the subject.

This was the one that did it for me: "38C3 - From Silicon to Sovereignty: How Advanced Chips Are Redefining Global Dominance" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdppYYfQJgg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdppYYfQJgg Absolutely insane stuff.
