How the list was made, and what we do with it
- Chosen by hand
- Every source is here because people who work in Semiconductors / Hardware / Robotics say substantive things on it, not because it is large. Enough of them to cover the field, few enough to audit.
- Checked before listing
- Each feed is fetched before it goes on the list, and a feed that answers but has stopped publishing is a fail, not a warning. Every source is English-language and public.
- Read, so you need not
- You do not have to watch all of them. Each new video is read from its published captions, and the claims worth keeping are pulled out with a link to the second where each was said.
- Sent as a brief
- The 12 lines that rank highest across the whole Semiconductors / Hardware / Robotics beat go out daily or weekly. A claim several independent sources made ranks higher — that counts agreement, not accuracy.
The YouTube channels are one part of the beat. Every Semiconductors / Hardware / Robotics source, all media — or just the podcasts or blogs and newsletters.
