Inspiring hacker talks and presentations?

Question

Hey HN, I had a great time working yesterday to the sweet tunes of Alan Kay's OOPSLA talk "The Computer Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKg1hTOQXoY) -- it really got the creative juices flowing. I love that kind of stuff. Douglas Engelbart's "The Mother of All Demos" is another good hacker classic -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY.I'm seeking more content in that wheelhouse. What are your favorite hacker talks or presos?
