• Ask HN: Who are your favorite tech youtubers

  I discovered “Developer Voices” recently https://youtube.com/@DeveloperVoices. It’s more a podcast style channel, with a different guest on each episode with experience in a different area of tech/computer science they discuss. No memes, no click bake, no how to be a tech lead just mixed varied interesting computer science content/topics. Agree with the other posters though, generally tech channels are junk full... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• It's the End of the Web as We Know It

  Sounds like an education problem ? This kind of spam is an annoyance, but you learn to filter it out soon enough. Stack Overflow is a great example : its value is not so much in giving you a quick answer, but even more because you will see several answers, and the discussion around them. And yes, sure, convincing malicious actors there are always possible, but not probable. Same thing with Wikipedia's Talk pages,... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Krazam OS

  Obligatory microservices video: https://youtu.be/y8OnoxKotPQ They're hilarious, I think only matched by Austin Nasso who does a tech roast show: https://youtube.com/@austinnasso/videos. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Ask HN: High quality Python scripts or small libraries to learn from

  Beazley's videos on YouTube including his channel are great https://youtube.com/@dabeazllc. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Calculus Made Easy

  So starting basically from "zero" in order to learn the prerequisites before learning what you actually want to learn on your own can feel daunting at times. But I think taking shortcuts will result in frustration. So, here I am taking algebra courses on YT with 38 years.

• Embeddings are a good starting point for the AI curious app developer

  Without getting into any big debates about whether or not RAG is medium-term interesting or whatever, you can ‘pip install sentence-transformers faiss’ and just immediately start having fun. I recommend using straightforward cosine similarity to just crush the NYT’s recommender as a fun project for two reasons: there’s an API and plenty of corpus, and it’s like, whoa, that’s better than the New York Times. He’s... - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Wing-in-Ground effect ship (Airplane?) 2018

  Youtuber rctestflight has been experimenting a lot with ground effect. Spoiler alert: its hard, but a lot of fun to watch https://youtube.com/@rctestflight. - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

  I thought the OP link and then your link would be a link to this, which is noted as the inspiration in your link https://youtube.com/@project_jdm. - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago

• OnScreen: AI generated long form sci fi TV show

  Quite close to this topic, someone did kind of fantasy (not so) short stories with video all AI generated: https://youtube.com/@WardenCinematics. - Source: Hacker News / 25 days ago

• What are your favorite YouTube channels about mastering a craft or skill?

  Https://youtube.com/@MikeBoyd Easily Mike Boyd! The beauty of his channel is he doesn’t allow himself to use the internet or look anything up. It’s all trial and error, (and the editing is really well done). - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• What are your favorite YouTube channels about mastering a craft or skill?

  Https://youtube.com/@FoldableFlight Paper airplanes! Very low effort, high reward, especially if there are kids in your life. - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• What are your favorite YouTube channels about mastering a craft or skill?

  So far, I love these ones around tool restoration: - My Mechanics https://youtube.com/@MyMechanics - Hand Tool Rescue https://youtube.com/c/handtoolrescue - TysyTube Restoration https://youtube.com/c/TysyTube. - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Microsoft opens a crack in console gaming's decades-old walled garden

  If you’re interested in this, I’d highly recommend checking out the Hoeg Law channel on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@HoegLaw He’s done a bunch of analysis on the Microsoft / Activision merger, as well as all the Epic lawsuits. It’s an interesting shift in Microsoft’s position, but I think they see where the winds are blowing, and most importantly, they’ve set themselves up to not be as impacted by an opening up... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• A developer portfolio as a 2D top-down walking simulator

  Looking around, developer is bilingual in French and has video tutorials in Kaboom.js: https://youtube.com/@jslegenddev. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Kaist develops next-generation ultra-low power LLM accelerator

  Quick shoutout to https://youtube.com/@TechTechPotato for those interested in keeping tabs on the AI hardware space. There is much more going on in this area than you would think if you only follow general media. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• A 'cowboy ski town' where high earners can't afford a home faces housing battle

  Someone should familiarise the local residents with Gary Stevenson: https://youtube.com/@garyseconomics. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Elliptic Curve 'Murmurations' Found with AI Take Flight

  I highly recommend the PeakMath (https://youtube.com/@PeakMathLandscape?si=zQg6bbp2SvfqzKYm) RH saga video series on YouTube for this topic. They are excellent, and not requiring more than high school maths knowledge to really get quite deep into the mysterious connections between prime numbers, Riemann hypothesis, elliptic curves and L-Functions. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Microsoft Security-101: Open-Source curriculum

  It’s very 101 but covers sensible topics in a sensible order but yeah, lacks a lot of depth. If you’re looking for a genuinely awesome introduction to the topic I’d recommend this lecture series https://youtube.com/@securityengineering1350?feature=shared Which accompanies this book https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Vice website is shutting down

  Looking at their YouTube, their recent videos don't have exactly low view count, but also not as high as I would expect, given how costly they must be https://youtube.com/@VICE I guess they were really a product of a different time. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Africa is building a Great Green Wall to prevent expansion of the Sahara

  3 words. "Geoff Lawton videos." You know, that Strine permaculture guy. Watch at least 15 to 20 of them. Many are short. Only then talk, people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoff_Lawton https://youtube.com/@DiscoverPermaculture?si=XVjdWpJk5ZIVTnLP https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strine. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
