Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5: - Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session) - Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads - Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version - HackerTube Longs ✊ A bit more on the process: I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing. Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.

Daniel Vogelbach sang “Stacy’s Mom” the night the Brewers won the World Series, too. If you want to know more about that and the Brewers’ love of … other vices, I encourage you to take a look at the most fun World Series champion we’ve seen in a while:

The Milwaukee Brewers' championship was 57 years in the making -- and it came together in spectacular fashion. Free at ESPN, the inside story of how it happened, from a late July declaration to a bus that everyone boarded to a whole lot of rally heaters.

FINAL: Brewers 4, Rays 1 For the first time, the Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions. They did it for Milwaukee, they did it for Wisconsin, they did it for Ueck, they did it for themselves. This was 57 years in the making. And it was pure, beautiful, dominant baseball.

Jacob Misiorowski is coming out of Game 5 after 5.2 scoreless innings and 86 pitches. He was cruising, but it looks like he got a cramp. Trainers brought him a drink on the mound. He threw one warm-up pitch, shook his leg and walked off with a slight limp. Brewers still up, 4-0.

An 8-kg king cobra was spotted climbing onto the railing outside a resident’s window! 🐍 Police and firefighters quickly arrived and worked together to handle the situation. The snake was later released into an uninhabited wilderness area. #ChinaStory# #URHero#
