I’ve been building text editor as notion from the ground up. Recently i’ve been uploading the full codebase to Gemini to discuss different tasks. I can fully agree that the LLM can simply not decide on how to do things! If you slightly tweak your prompt it will suggest an entirely different architecture. You have to be very careful about pulling out the right stuff from the cargo cult best practice stuff baked in to the model. Another thing, a really obvious optimization might be just staring it in the face and it won’t suggest it unless you say “have you considered XYZ?” and then all of a sudden it won’t stop talking about XYZ! But most of all you just have to be strong in your will power to guide it in the direction you want.


The comments on this good bye video speak volumes as to the rare character of this youtuber with 0.5m subs.


This is monetizable for parents (or at least, highly needed). YouTube is terrible for child behavior as there are so many pranks and people screaming etc (in kids content) but there are a select few YouTubers who are really good for kids. For example our 10yo does well with: ZebraGamer, Half Asleep Chris, Mark Rober, Brick Experiment Channel, Ants Canada, etc. We have it locked down via safe app but it would be great to have this for the full home network with channels buttoned down.


Monetizing this would put YT-DLP in danger of having legal action taken against it, or at least being shut down.


What is “safe app”? Too generic to be googleable.



On this same topic, I just launched an app that lets you use your offline videos in an interface that is easy to use for kids.

I stuck to a one-off payment, rather than the garbage subscription models all the other parenting apps use.


What we find essential about safe vision is that the kid can search like normal but it's limited to the approved channels. With about 30 (highly curated) channels the kid can find a lot of safe content.

It also generates an updated dashboard page from new stuff from all the creators, also essential.

The offline thing has never come up for us. They do a yearly sub $29.99, happy to pay. Just an FYI.


I'm quite curious how they go about licensing the content, maybe they just pay the creators a cut of the subscription fees. Or is it really just scraping youtube in some form?

As for the search you mentioned, that might come into it for an older range, for my little ones they still can't read or spell yet, they just want to click on the thumbnail that looks the most engaging at any random time.


Thank you for eloquently saying what I've been trying hard to express.


Would love this for JavaScript if that was even possible.


That is not the case with MA they will refund you with a click of a button and it will cost them money since stripe keep their cut and don’t refund it to MA.


This proves that being early to market has a huge advantage ;)


Wow I've never flagged anything but there are 24 items in there! Would be good to have a confirm()


If they were able to follow through on this absolute power would California succession be on the cards?


Realistically, not unless the military fractured and there was a coherent alternative government that some of them aligned with.

There is absolutely no standing up to our military if it is actually deployed against you as a regular citizen without equal military backing.


I had this idea the other day. Not sure if it relates but maybe?
