Matt Might's Curry On talk on ending errors in code, both software and the human genome. He covers conservative approximation of the halting problem via static analysis and a computational approach to precision medicine.
Why Hacker News points people here: Recommended as a jaw-dropping, must-see talk that gives an amazing intro to static analysis alongside Might's personal story.

“gave a jaw-dropping talk a year ago”
Ambitious talk by Matt Might on static analysis and curing disease.
Matt Might (the subject of this article) gave a jaw-dropping talk a year ago, named "Winning the War on Error - Solving the Halting Problem and Curing Cancer" [1]. At least you can't blame him for the lack of ambition! But the best part is he's really getting it done. His security research led to developing very successful static analysis tools that exposed security bugs in real code. And he did manage to find a treatment for his own son's rare genetic disorder.
