This is a thread for sharing Talks, Lectures, Presentations, and similar content related to tech, cybernetics, and scientific research that could be considered old for internet standards (a lot of content tends to disappear rather quickly from the internet nowadays), but that is still relevant today. We had digital cameras back in those days, so there should be a lot of good but kinda forgotten material out there, hard to find because of link rot or just mainstream search engines hiding results. The ideal would be content from before 2012. PicRel 1 is from 2009's Qcon Presentation: "Null References: The Billion Dollar Mistake", which exposes some interesting points about why Null references are a bad idea. I've uploaded the recording here: https://pomf2.lain.la/f/81jw7ifv.mp4 PicRel 2 is from part 1 of "Boundaries of the Knowable", where Professor Russell Stannard talks about Consciosness and the Limits of science. You can find the whole playlist here: https://yt.artemislena.eu/playlist?list=PL3096540179B12F8D

MIT 6.001 Structure and Interpretation, 1986 https://yewtu.be/playlist?list=PLE18841CABEA24090 I consider this to be a massively important series, plus it uses lisp :)
