Not totally familiar with the feature mentioned, might be extra effort but should seemingly work:

Termux > install mpv > mpv "[URL]" (or mpv --no-video "[URL]")

Alternatively:

Termux > proot-distro > set up audio > play in browser like firefox


> 80% agent coding

A lot of these things sound cool but sometimes I'm curious what they're actually building

Like, is their bottleneck creativity now then? Are they building naything interedting or using agents to build... things that don't appeal to me, anyway?


I guess it depends what appeal to you.

As an example finding myself in a similar 80% situation, over the last few months I built

- a personal website with my projects and poems

- an app to rework recipes in a format I like from any source (text, video,...)

- a 3d visual version of a project my nephew did for work

- a gym class finder in my area with filters the websites don't provide

- a football data game

- working on a saas for work so typical saas stuff

I was never that productive on personal projects, so this is great for me.

Also the coding part of these projects was not very appealing to me, only the output, so it fits well with AI using.

In the meanwhile I did Advent of Code as usual for the fun of code. Different objectives.


You don't have to review your own code if someone more capable is willing to (just communicate that it isn't reviewed; someone can also ask AI to comment on what the code does for review)

Yeah, it should change things but also free up other energies to work on things

The impression I get from the article is of a need to develop better prompts and/or break them down more

More like maybe we are acknowledging "intellectual property" was always a fiction

There’s two issues here. Plagiarizing as stealing from another source (damages to 3rd party), and plagiarizing as pretending another’s ideas are your own (damages to self).

Most of us here probably agree that A is not really a problem, but where people stand on issue B is where the value divide comes from.


I feel like this post is a few years too late; with AI assistance you can probably fork things productively now more than ever

I think a lot of people are rooting for AI to destroy corrupt institutions

Broad brush comment but studies like this kind of seem useless for a couple reasons here

One position I don't see defended as much anymore is an elitist position, i.e. even if social media & games (sm&g) are harmful to a majority of teens, there still might be a minority of teens that thrive with the sm&g and their thriving might be argued to be "worth" the suffering of many (think: geniuses who can make the world much much better)

Another direction to go in is, independent of studies, what kind of world do we want for ourselves and our kids? Do we want them to be able to play some games and access some social media? I could see them for example playing online chess and following chess masters on social media, so these could indeed be a part of something of an ideal vision for our kids. So I guess there isn't often much discussion of trying to pursue the ideals of childhood or adulthood and about crafting that vision of what activities that involves and then connecting our lives to a kind of plan for following such a blueprint. (This requires no social study to establish as far as I can see)


If you miss the friction, then I think you want to seek new friction in trying to build bigger things with your expanded capabilities

This is a good point. Scale up, not down. Though there are times I miss doing stuff with jquery...
