I took all the channels HN keeps recommending (3+ videos in Karpathy's data) and made a page with their fresh uploads as they come in: https://hn.youtldr.com
(I make YouTLDR, which writes the one-line answer under each video.)
My plan was to try to find the "answer" for videos in comments. Never really got around doing it, but LLMs make the possibilities more interesting and easier.
Edit: this is also a good opportunity to ship something like this: https://hn.youtldr.com, like Karpathy's HackerTube, but with the new videos from "HN-vetted" channels.
I made myself a thing that tries to answer the title + thumbnail from the transcript, and shows me the answer if there is a good one. Never launched it, but it's at youtldr.com if you want to try.
But your agent can see what you're doing! So I wrote down 100 levels and made it so your agent checks which ones you already do and suggest what to learn next. It reads check.md, runs a read-only script that prints only names and counts, and finds interesting things for you.
The 100 tips are based on my own usage, but also on what internet-famous engineers have been doing and sharing.
The code is at github.com/virpo/levels. Tell me what you think! :)

We wanted to use it so people don't have to log in, and dropped it. Good enough for ads, not for anything where you need to be sure it's the same person.
Data is old now though: https://virpo.sk/browser-fingerprinting-hraska-diploma-thesi...
I used oak plywood, and it has held up well so far, including in our kitchen. You do get the occasional tiny splinter, but nothing serious.
The main trick for getting clean holes, especially on the back side, is to drill into a sacrificial board so the exit side stays supported.

I'm a big fan of SponsorBlock for YouTube too, from the same dev.
