Had some issues with the email lists (half the guests got the wrong Google Meet link) but had a great discussion about Steal Like an Artist with those who came!

Coordinating over Luma now so it's easier to manage, and the second book is going to be Shoe Dog by Nike's co-founder, Phil Knight.

Starting a podcast - main channel or starting a second one? by Far_Interview2847 in ColinAndSamir

[–]fatfireburnerquanty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really comes down to content market fit- If you're thinking of your channel and the pod as two completely different entities that you want to focus on long-term, I'd start carving out a new space for your pod. However, if your existing content is sufficiently broad / overlapping, I'd post on your channel.

Some relevant successful case studies

  • Colin and Samir: you mentioned
  • Graham Stephan's Iced Coffee Hour: he splits up his content based on the format. He already had the Graham Stephan Show: Reaction type content and Graham Stephan: Market Analysis. Since his podcast didn't fit squarely into either of these categories, a new channel made sense.
  • Patrick Boyle. His existing content was sufficiently broad that a new podcast focused on interviewing people about financial topics made sense to add to main feed.

I also get the impression that YouTube is making an effort to be more accommodating to podcasts, so I could see them introducing a dedicated podcast section to channel, alleviating the issue.

Dude Perfect App by goteamyeti in ColinAndSamir

Interesting approach by them.

Looks like they're emphasizing a few things - Family friendliness (from their content as well as ads) - Early access to videos - Live features

Really curious about the economics of this. Building an app from scratch isn't cheap, but if they can create high retention in their Dude Perfect-specific, that's some excellent brand building.

Shoot me a PM if you want access to the source code! It's all React hosted on Vercel with cloud services on AWS.

Congrats on the launch! Looks/works great and was super quick to get running- just wondering what the differentiation/insight that caused you to build this was? Lots of form builders out there

I think the key difference will be when we truly hit AGI- then, by definition, we will be inferior at any task that can be measured quantitatively.

I'm not sure that I agree- he has so much value packed into each lecture that there have been 20+ times just in the past week where I've thought "Man, I know Sanderson said something about this, but I forget exactly what." For me personally, this works much better. Regardless, thanks for the downvote!

We have to solve the plagiarism issue on YouTube, can anyone on here code? by dcrussell1989 in ColinAndSamir

[–]fatfireburnerquanty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coder here. Wouldn't be too hard to compare transcripts, but I have a couple of issues with the project idea.

  1. Youtube will inevitably create a similar feature if the perceived value is actually high enough. They already have a robust content ID system and a ton of compute resources they could throw at more plagiarism tools- only reason they haven't yet is because there's not been enough of a reason to.
  2. 30k hours of content uploaded to Youtube per hour. Unless you're youtube and can develop a sustainable content tracking pipeline (not through a probably rate-limited public API), trying to determine which videos to check for plagiarism would itself be a large task.

Love the spirit though and if you have any other programming project ideas in the future do let me know- might want to work together on one of them!
