Brilliant idea. I think this has real value as well: as I get older, I find that I have less energy for reading, but I also notice I often miss really cool stuff that was briefly on the front of HN. I like that it summarizes the comments too. There are often real gems buried in there. (I assume you're only taking a few top ones?) I think a great improvement could be made with personalization. Most of what's on the fr…

You do, indirectly. Just need to curate your last watched videos.

Sometimes I feel like I got put into a certain genre or bubble or if things autopplay a when I sleep I'll not ice my front page being taken over.

I just go delete some of those videos from my recent list I can see visible improvement.

Or just start a few video on the topic you want to see and then it's all you'll be recommended.

This is possibly an interesting extension [1]. I just generally don't follow recommendations. But my kids love it, and they use my account (Premium, else they get all kind of inappropriate ads (which is even illegal)), so I have to be careful. So the other day I wanted to look into what the other political side had to say about something. You know, as a matter of broadening my view to gain some understanding. Boy, did I regret, as I was getting sucked into some kind of conspiracy bubble. My wife asked me what on earth I watched. So I ended up trying to have YouTube profile me as little as possible (via settings). Didn't fully solve it, but it is much more clean now. And if I do watch something which I don't want to be remembered: private browsing mode. I do this for porn, but unfortunately they do profile my IP address (so I should use a VPN).

Fun stuff. It does feel like NotebookLM (and others) are hurtling us toward a future that seems inevitable: all content is public domain, and people consume it in many transformed ways. Those that get ahead of the curve and make their content publicly available and semantically well structured will see their ideas thrive. Here's my user test: https://news.pub/?try=https://www.loom.com/embed/9e8b8d454ee...

Thanks for the video, it's really interesting to see a user test like this!

This is so good! I could use that mixed in together with a spotify station for modern Radio experience. I miss the days where you could just do something else and listen to the radio host. Streaming partially supplanted it but not to the same extent, sadly.

Pretty neat but it seems to make stuff up. It took a meta comment from this post[1] about the website formatting and suggested the community was worried the C++ memory safety proposal would make code hard to read on mobile. It is hard to trust the other summaries after hearing that.
