I'm working on exactly this! I'm building a small model that classifies the correct DOM node containing an HTML's article content/title/date/author (given a raw html with a lot of noise/chrome). A fun learning exercise :)

30KB model, 40-50ms inference. Pretty happy with the results so far!

I can see an entire industry of tiny models like this, now that we have AI to help us do the grunt setup work (validation/training data creation, data cleaning, etc). Or just use a general classifier like Jev/Kev ha

> I find the post cursor groks are phenomenal at frontend web development, though Claude is much better at backend ruby.

Wonder if we'd benefit from a much more specialized + task-specific benchmarks to paint a clearer picture like this. A benchmark solely for frontend, ruby, hardware, etc.

closest thing I've seen is https://github.com/tobi/qmd, though it requires installing 3 local embedding models (300MB, 640MB, 1.1GB).

A couple weeks ago my Ghostty session crashed and found that it was using 40GB of RAM(!) - glad this was resolved!

Pretty cool, especially the voice and background music - feels just right.

I asked it about pointers in Rust. The transcript and images were great, very approachable!

"Do not let your computer sleep" -> is this using GPU on my machine or something?

If you found this interesting, I highly recommend reading "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt. It's deeply impacted how I think of morality and politics from a societal and psychological point of view.

Some ideas in the book:

- Humans are tribal, validation-seeking animals. We make emotional snap judgments first and gather reasons to support those snap judgments second.

- The reason the political right is so cohesive (vs the left) is because they have a very consistent and shared understanding and definitions of what Haidt calls the 5 "moral taste receptors" - care, fairness, loyalty, authority, sanctity. Whereas the left trades off that cohesive understanding with diversity.

Hi Peter! Thank you for doing this. Are you seeing any issues/concerns with Green Card holders traveling internationally and returning to the US in the past few months?

Is there a Rust equivalent to this? I'd like to dive into a rust "api_starter" as someone with mostly NodeJS experience!

> Can they read code and debug it in their head?

> Strong engineers, however, can break out the two problems and solve them at the same time.

Disagree so much with this. A "good" engineer breaks a problem down, solves them one by one, and avoids mentally juggling multiple things at once if possible.

This post's headline should've been: "100% bootstrapped solo founder sells for $80M in 6 months"
