What extension exposes the hidden filters???


Most definitely not the one he's talking about. But, I'll mention my extension. It exposes the hidden date operators through Youtube's search filter menu, allows searching comments and finding the most popular video's from a channel within the last year, etc.

You could probably vibe-code it if it doesn't exist. You're literally just adding extra parameters to the search request. Hard part is creating the interface for it. Saw more options looking for Firefox extensions than Chrome for this, though that might be expected.

So it doesn't exist? I don't understand what I'm reading. (Plus the suggestion to create more slopware)

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my comment that it's a very trivial feature. Would you want a lmgtfy link instead?

edit: The irony that this very submission is probably AI generated? There's no link to their source code, and there's a tab titled "AI Generator" for AI generated playlists?


I think there's been a break in this conversation somewhere.

You said: One of the first things I do on a new device is install an extension to expose these hidden filters

Someone asked you to name the extension.

Then you go on saying it's easy to vibe code and you're not here to hold hands?

Okay, so does the extension exist or not?


Yes, there are plenty of them.

I think you heard "vibe-code" and immediately went out of your way to act obtuse, even though I was using it as an example of how simple it is to show these "hidden" filters.


(Note you're not replying to the same person, so this "you" is me and not them.)

Yes, I find the suggestion to waste a bunch of energy creating a mediocre extension that might actually work, when there is apparently an existing one that you are already happy with, a bit silly. But that wasn't the contradiction I was pointing out


Yet wanting an extension recommendation by an online user you don't know to install code you can't verify with access to data on the youtube domain is fine.

This doesn't just generate the code though. It generates the "art" and everything else as well. Ideas are beyond cheap. It's the personal creativity that makes games good or bad.

And saying the code doesn't matter is just ignorant. In plenty of great games the art doesn't matter. In plenty of others the code doesn't matter. Or the dialogue. But the reverse is just as true. In a game with tight, fluid player controls, the code to make that happen takes just as much creativity and skill and human touch as any other form of art. A driving sim made by someone deeply uninterested in the code they write will never feel good to play.

It is just so disingenuous to say that people who focus more on the code side of game development aren't creators. If I can make a demo with a black rectangle jumping around on some red rectangles and hand it to someone and have them say it feels like they're jumping around as a cat, with no art or animations, I'd say that took creativity and a human touch that ai is nowhere near being able to emulate.


So if AI can't emulate it, what's the issue?

I do think AI can emulate it - one of the earliest headlines I remember is an AI piece winning a digital art competition. The piece was great and the influence of the (human) artist was obvious.

If something is beautiful, I can't be assed to care what kind of paint was used to create it. If you trust human beings to continue to appreciate art as we have done since the beginning, there's not going to be any intractable issues.


>If you trust human beings to continue to appreciate art as we have done since the beginning, there's not going to be any intractable issues

When did the discussion become about trusting the audience? I think the discussion has always surrounded whether it's worthwhile to treat art as a problem that needs solving.


Well, if you think it's not a problem to solve then you should go tell all the paintbrush manufacturers that their services will no longer be needed. Ditto for publishers, patrons of the arts, etc., etc.

If art is worth doing it's worth doing with good tools.


> If art is worth doing it's worth doing with good tools.

Yeah, that's why we should keep LLMs out of it.


Curious, were you already aware of ntfy.sh (which has webhooks) when you built it?


Shit! I was not aware!

So FormBeep is designed to work with WhatsApp since most people prefer whatsapp notifications!


This is just sad. If your passion for creating something you can be proud of is entirely propped up by imaginary sex appeal that not even most teenagers would believe exists, it's no surprise you'd arrive at such a cynical, pathetic conclusion.

Your perspective is a path with only one logical end. That nothing you do or think or believe matters unless someone you're attracted to finds it attractive.

That is not how I or most others live. We take pride in and derive satisfaction from our accomplishments without the need for external validation.

Yeah, only I care whether the solution I found to a problem today was elegant, or whether my kitchen was pristine and well organized after I prepped for next week's lunches, but so what? I care and it injects more than enough meaning into my life to be worth it.


Yeh cool story. But being passionate about a hobby is not gonna pay my bills...

When I charge a customer for a solution they don't care about how elegant my code is. They just care if it works for solving their problem...


Sure... but the slop that LLMs spit out isn't going to solve their problem, which is what they care about.


It is not going to solve their problem. But It allows ME to solve their problem WAYYY faster-

Think about it like this... Its like a bank, but for software not money...


Glad I wasn't the only one


Or "I just saw it in a reddit comment, have never heard of it, and want to know what it is before I dismiss this person as a pedo"
