It's only streaming right now and each streamed version is unique, riffing off of Eno's "generative" music.

Turns out we're bad at gauging how much light is in our environment. Few would suspect that the amount of lux we're exposed to indoors is often far less than 1% of the lux outside. A typical corporate office has under 500 lux, vs 50k+ midday-if you're at home and haven't put much thought into the lighting situation, the lux could be in the low double digits. You can get a free app "Lux meter" to measure yours now.

We evolved to be outside a lot, and light regulates aspects of our biology. We probably shouldn't stay two orders of magnitude beneath the factory recommended exposure levels for months at a time. Hence clinical or sub-clinical SAD,sleep and mood disturbances etc [see references].

One solution is high wattage LEDs: https://www.benkuhn.net/lux/

I've had several ~250w LEDs over the years (these are huge and actually draw 250w, they aren't 250w equivalent). 250w might be overkill, and 80w is fine for me and a lot more practical. If you get one , be warned that depending on the wattage you'll probably have to build your own stand for it as most fixtures aren't rated for that high wattage.

Related to light amount is of course light timing. This may be more important than getting a steadily high amount of lux during the day. Get lots of light in the morning, and not a lot at night (just low intensity bulbs, maybe just red ones, starting 1-2h after sunset is nice). That helped my sleep a ton. Check out Huberman LAb, he talks about light amount and timing ad nauseam.

Rather than discuss the current “quality of code produced” it seems more useful to talk about what level of abstraction it’s competent at (line, function, feature), and whether there are any ceilings there. Of course the effective level of abstraction depends on the domain but you get the idea, it can generate good code at some level if promoted sufficiently well.

Calves expected by 2028.

- We cannot see your YouTube activity => ie what you watch, search for, like, subscribe to. This is clearly explained beneath the TLDR section. What we CAN see is also explained.

- Your chats are only visible to you => as in, they aren't public. That could be clarified. We do state before that that we save your chats.

- We don't mention them by name, but the second line of the TLDR is "• We track Extension usage statistics to improve the product." Have added an explanation for each of them.

Appreciate your help with this. What did you think otherwise?

I love YouTube—it’s genuinely enriched my life over the years. But I often find myself getting pulled into endless rabbit holes due to catchy thumbnails. So I made Strawberry to help navigate YouTube more mindfully.

Right now we have 3 features:

- Hover any thumbnail for a summary (including Homepage, Search, Suggested vids, Shorts)

- Detailed video summaries

- Chat with videos

Eager to hear your thoughts, and especially how it could be more useful for you!

...but got a 500 error. No other clues in the console.

Good luck with this!

I hope this helps you save time and avoid distraction, and that you have fun using it.

Let me know how it could be more useful for you!
