Movies especially with re-releases. Star Wars with Lucas tinkering and blocking old copies.
But we have this - https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k77/
"97% of project 4K77 is from a single, original 1977 35mm Technicolor release print, scanned at full 4K, cleaned at 4K, and rendered at 4K."

GN used Bloomberg clips of US Gov officials speaking on AI chip matters, fully under fair use.
And Bloomberg did a DMCA takedown through youtube, copystrike in parlance which pulled the video down for a week. GN had no recourse other than to wait and counterclaim.
Week timed out, Bloomberg did nothing but be the bully.
Louis Rossmann's excellent explainer video here on the Bloomberg bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RJvrTC6oTI

The Gamers Nexus GPU Blackmarket deep dive was great at digging into this.

And the entire Bloomberg takedown drama added fire to the flames.

Looks to be. The UI has almost the exactly the same bits, and I even got 'Cascade' references as using it.

Another very good history of early Intel is the Asianometry video and associated write-up: https://www.asianometry.com/p/intel-and-amd-the-first-30-yea...

It's very sad and a stark commentary on the current state of Hacker News that a post by Bruce Schneier on cyber security is still flagged over an hour after it was posted.

Prompt: list the next friday febuary 9ths occurring on leap years
Response: Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a Friday, February 9th occurring on a leap year. Here’s why:
• February only has 28 days in a typical year and 29 days in a leap year.
• Since a month consists of 4 weeks (28 days), the day of the week for any particular date repeats every 4 years.
• This means that if February 9th falls on a Friday in a non-leap year, it will fall on a Monday in the next year, Tuesday in the year after that, Wednesday in the third year, and back to Friday in the fourth year.
• However, since the fourth year is a leap year with an extra day in February, February 9th “shifts” by one day, falling on a Saturday instead of Friday. Therefore, it’s impossible for February 9th to be a Friday in a leap year. The next Friday, February 9th will occur in 2029, but it will be a common year, not a leap year.

Carl Zeiss makes some amazing optics to allow it all to happen
https://www.asianometry.com/p/how-carl-zeiss-crafted-a-house...
To quote:
To make these EUV mirrors, each 2 to 4 nanometer layer of molybdenum and silicon has to be deposited one by one. Fifty times, without fatal defects.
After that, each mirror has to be painstakingly polished. The acceptable surface deviation metric is 50 picometers, or 50 trillionths of a meter. That is a staggering number.
To put that into perspective. 50 picometers on a mirror that is 450 millimeters wide. If that 450 millimeter mirror was blown up to the size of the United States, 4,500 kilometers or 2,800 miles wide, then 50 picometers would be just 0.5 mm tall.

Tethics is a core part of the Hooli experience
It's also great reference engine with all of the pinned tags of its evolution.

https://chessprogramming.org/Automated_Tuning has excellent history. Still substantial compute on tuning, but viable.
