I got a 1.9B model to watch a restaurant camera and tell staff which tables need cleaning 🍽️ It runs on my laptop. No cloud, and it generates zero tokens. Built over a weekend with @liquidai d1-2B

Built AgentWire because sharing an agent across MCP, A2A, and OpenAI SDKs kept turning into glue code. Wire a prompt + remote MCP server + SKILL.md into one live URL: -> MCP JSON-RPC (/mcp) -> Google A2A v1.0 (/api/a2a) -> OpenAI v1 (/v1/chat/completions) -> 4ms edge overhead

Over the weekend I wanted to watch my blog age from 2009 to 2026, so I baked Wayback Reel. Paste any domain: it collapses the Wayback CDX index to 1 snapshot per year, builds a scrubbable contact strip, and encodes an H.264 MP4 in your browser via FFmpeg WASM.

Can a 1.72 MB browser model draw an xkcd comic without garbled text? So I baked xkcd-artist. -> Int8 ONNX WASM plans panels, props & 12-DOF poses in 0.55ms -> Wobbled monochrome SVG + crisp xkcd-script + hover title text -> Strips, charts & flowcharts, 0 cloud

Dream come true for me: I built Ninada, an in-browser 24 kHz TTS for Classical Sanskrit, English & 10 Indic languages. 48 device-aware voices: 27.9 MB HiFi-GAN (89ms WebGPU) & 21.7 MB mobile iSTFTNet (538ms phone WASM), <15ms VITS split, 3.09-3.22 dB MCD.

Scanned 49.3M Hacker News comments to see what movies & documentaries HN actually watches. Fun bug: stopping Solaris from matching ZFS, Threads from matching pthreads, and Idiocracy jokes from taking #1. Try the obscurity slider for hidden gems: hnmovies.org

hnmovies.org/ 2,280 movies and documentaries distilled from 20 years of HN! 🫣
Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5: hackertube.org/ - Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session) - Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads - Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version - HackerTube Longs ✊ A bit more on the process: I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing. Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.

Fake-positive affirmations backfire under stress (Wood 2009). Value-based ones calm your stress alarm (Cascio, PNAS 2016). Built 100% in-browser on 10 science lenses: - @LiquidAI_ LFM3-Omni-2B (text + 24kHz TTS) - SmolLM2 + Kokoro mobile fallback Try: h3manth.com/ai/affirmations/
