Bro this is dope. I want to use neetcode 150 to practice/study interview problems

#92I hope you view a YouTube ad on that video every time the course is opened otherwise it’s a self defeating system.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s an 8 minute video…and even shorter at 1.5X that will take me longer to summarize than you to watch. But in summary, YouTube is rolling out AI summarization features on some content without giving creators any say in the matter. Concerns include: - Low quality summarization of high quality content will devalue the content, and in many cases is just a worse version of the content - Impact to watch time on the chan…
The videos are the intellectual property of the creator, and YouTube has the rights to distribute and make money off of it for hosting it for you to billions of users. What's the problem? The creator can take their content somewhere else or host it themselves on their website
If the building I live in implements policies that are hostile to their tenants, that's their right and I can choose to move, but it's still hostile.
For sake of argument, let's say that this feature causes a 20% reduction in video views.
This feature is part of YouTube Premium, meaning that YouTube is making money on it, but in its current form the creator is not. So in essence, YouTube has chosen to take the creator's content, create derivative content based on it, and make money off of that derivative content while removing some portion of the creator's revenue. In most contexts, this would be described as theft, and I think that's a fair word to use here even if I'm sure the T&C covers it somewhere.
> What's the problem? The creator can take their content somewhere else or host it themselves on their website
You don't see a problem with a move like this? Obviously creators can move elsewhere, but it's a hostile move on YouTube's part nonetheless.

#94I work in edtech and one of my teams is content creation, so pretty excited about this space but also very aware of the challenges and massive amounts of hype and over promise / under deliver. To assess I tried to generate a short ( UPDATE: " This course failed to generate. Please try again or contact us."

I’ve got 20 years of experience teaching mathematics at a community college. MyMathLab and it’s various clones are all terrible. My brief tinkering with this product has impressed me. Certainly it underdelivers at this point but they are on the right track as far as interface and usability. Don’t know if they can pull this off but being different than existing ed tech players in mathematics is a good thing since Pearson, etc. all suck.

#95Nice work! How do you verify correctness of the generated exercises and explanations? To me this looks the biggest risk in becoming a user: what if my _teacher_ teaches me subtle nonsense that I cannot easily detect since I'm learning and unfamiliar with the material (even if it's only in the 1-2% of cases)? Human teachers make mistakes too, but an LLM cannot _understand_ that it made one...
So.. how do you solve for this issue of trust?

#96Nice App. Another similar one is You learn ai.

#97Congratulations on the launch guys! Was interested in such a product for a long time. I think adding social collaboration would be a game changer for a tool like this. Imagine people being able to start their own cohorts to learn and keeping each other accountable. Looking forward!!

they dont verify, they just present a LLM app and the user suffers if the information is not correct. however most of the time it is correct but sometimes it is not. one way to verify correctness is to ask a bigger model like OpenAI o3

Reviewing a service that didn’t work is like reviewing a product that never arrived in the mail.
Not sure you can draw many conclusions on an experience you didn’t have. My own two cents

#100Instead of direct trivia from the content, it would be helpful to have an exercise (with evaluation) that applies the content learnt - a small artifact production with real-world practical use.
Imagine you would need, another ai pipeline that poses as the consumer and applier of the knowledge, instead of a direct processor ai of content information as it currently seems.
