The lectures are by Onur Mutlu, an ex-CMU prof and a gifted teacher. He also teaches stuff on memory systems and digital design of circuits. All of his course videos are available online on his youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIwQ8uOeRFgOEvBLYc3kc3g/pla...
This is one of the best courses at ETH (computer science). Too bad I finished the PhD before this course was there. Another very interesting course is "Reliable and Interpretable Artificial Intelligence".

How was attending this University? I recently moved family abroad from USA. Hoping my daughter may have interest in attending here for computer science. I am just blown away by the cost of US Universities. Not sure what you get out of USA schools anymore compared to some European Universities?

Not the OP, but I studied at ETH Lausanne and visited at ETH Zurich, and it was my best academic memory, surpassing Paris, London or the other universities I attended. So I recommend you a lot to try to get into this School, it's one of the best in the world, and the price of the education is a bargain compared to the comparable US universities.
ETH Zürich has better score in international ratings, but the EPFL doesn't lag behind much. It's a really top noch place to learn any technical career.

Interested to hear how you think self-hosted video is superior to Youtube, I have found the opposite to be true in every circumstance (unless you are without adblocker for some reason).
Here is a good example, if you are in Germany, thanks to our GEMA friends you may be unable to watch a talk if it is on YouTube. While this might occur also with self hosted, YouTube is their main target and what they mostly care about.

I've actually started to hate YouTube so much (just for being terrible to content-creators and consumers, and supporting toxic videos (time watched is a ranking factor, promoting high-engagement "edgeline videos)), and so on and so forth) that I wanted to create a white-label HTML video player that would keep the benefits of a consistent, well-made UI but drop the publisher aspect of YouTube. I don't think I ever wil…
And the player needs to fit into an ecosystem that will cover the bandwidth costs of the video it streams. I don't think that's a simple part of the system if one is seeking to avoid having any advertising (a good goal, that I'm absolutely for).

Please explain...
So far so good, everyone is entitled to be paid for their work.
However they are quite aggressive collecting those royalties, to the point that there are royalty free song books for the children on primary schools, for them to avoid paying GEMA.
Since we are approaching Christmas, several typical Christmas markets did had another set of songs going around, a couple of years ago as protest.
So coming back to YouTube, if there is something on a video that might trigger GEMA to act upon, Google just triggers "Sorry this video isn't available in your country".
It was much worse a couple of years ago, when Google refused to pay any kind of royalty to GEMA and just blocked everything, they have kind of settled now, but it still comes up occasionally.
