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.

Peter Thiel on how you should think about your future:

"What you end up doing when you think of the future as indefinite is you pick a job that you think will look good on your resume, because it will lead to a different job later on. There's even a credentialing version where you go to grad school, you get a consulting job, and you think of it as this branching tree diagram where you never really do something that you want to do.

You can think of the future on three horizons. Very short-term is: are you going to be happy, and will you be learning a lot? Medium-term is: how good is it on your resume? And very long-term is: are you working on something important or meaningful? We're in a skewed world where we overweight the medium-term and underweight some combination of the short-term and the long-term. I would recalibrate to focus on the short-term and the long-term, and forget about the medium-term."

Life satisfaction is highly consistent with personality traits.

The top trait was "Have a lot of fun".

@AmbersonCorwin Start with The Beginning of Infinity.

Then read Matt Ridley, Nick Szabo, David Deutsch, Nassim Taleb, Schopenhauer, Peter Thiel, Popper, Feynman, Art DeVany, Scott Adams, Jed McKenna.

Recognize them when they challenge socially enforced mass-delusions with science and logic.

My 2x5 Rule for Career Growth

In the past few years, I’ve had a lot of school juniors reach out when they are in the “confused” stage of their career

Almost all of us go through some flat-line in our career & become disillusioned

This requires us to hit reset & take a big decision e.g. doing an MBA, moving countries, switching professions or joining a startup for faster growth

My key learning: The root cause of career confusion is often the lack of information or awareness about alternatives

Human nature is such that procrastinate & delay making these tough decisions

My solution is the 2x5 framework:

Sam Altman reveals his favorite Naval quote:

"Naval Ravikant used to say this thing that I loved, which is, if you had a fast-forward button on a remote for your life, your life would be over."

"The boring parts, the bad parts, they're still much better than no experience. It’s all part of the interestingness and the kind of emotional depth and range. And I don’t know, I find it fairly easy to be grateful for the bad days."

Notifications are just alarm clocks that someone else is setting for you.

[Naval @naval]

Existence itself is a miracle - the rest is science.

There is no single meaning to existence - if there were, we’d be slaves to it.

Within existence, there are rules of logic and science. If it was magic, the world would be un-navigable.

Truly the best of all possible worlds.
