AI introduction

Karpathy says he used Claude to analyze 43 million Hacker News comments spanning 20 years, identify 6,454 repeatedly recommended videos, and build a browsing site in about two hours. The site requires no login and keeps browsing state locally; he still had to create an API key for YouTube metadata, set up a server, and buy a domain.

用 Opus 5.5、Medium 推理强度花了 2 小时。甚至都没用 High。

Karpathy 不喜欢 YouTube 的推荐,于是改用过去 20 年里工程师们在 Hacker News 评论中不断互相推荐的视频。

Claude 扫描了 4300 万条评论,找出 6454 个这样的视频,并建成、上线了一个浏览这些视频的网站,整个过程大约只用了 2 小时。

周末做的小项目:HackerTube。我受够了 YouTube 的推荐,就让 Claude 从 HN 过去 20 年的 4300 万条评论中筛出 6454 个反复被推荐的视频。观看体验好得*多*,用 Opus 5.5 花了约 2 小时: https://t.co/JIhXN7OSh1 - 无需登录就有很棒的推荐(状态保存在本地浏览器会话中) - 缩略图取自视频中间的一帧代表性画面,而不是用户上传的那些经过超高强度 A/B 测试优化的图片 - 评论分析的原始数据打包在一个 zip 文件中;让你的 Claude 读取它,再让它做出你自己的版本 - HackerTube Longs ✊ 再多说一点过程: 我使用 Claude Code(Mac 桌面应用),默认用 Opus 5.5 的 Medium 推理强度。我只和 Claude 对话,让它完成所有事情;我同时帮忙做的唯一“手动工作”是在浏览器里(让人想起 MenuGen):1)我得在 Google Cloud 界面中创建某种 API 密钥,以便查询 YouTube 视频元数据;2)我启动了一台用于提供服务的 VPS;3)我买了域名。服务器启动后,我把 IP 给了 Claude,让它更新、保护、加固、部署并优化代码,它把这些全做完了。 许多原本通常要花上数周甚至数月的精彩项目,现在吃顿早餐的工夫,试上几次就能做出来。还有什么是我们没想到的?

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: https://t.co/JIhXN7OSh1 - 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.
