On “Ask HN: Do you think technology progress will flatten out 100 years from now”
up to the point that we see actual infrastructural collapse. I mean, I've seen Jeri Elsworth bake her own transistors in the oven and stuff (each one being about the size of your hand) but somehow I can't picture a chip fab based upon such transistors... call me old fashioned. link to this video

On “How to make a CPU – a simple picture-based explanation”
Jeri Ellsworth has gone "deeper" into the process and made a few transistors, although at a much larger scale: link link to this video
