I found zephyr-7b-beta is quite good for using locally (mac mini m2 8GB)

llamafile I couldn't make it work for command line, but the api server works well

$ ./llamafile -m zephyr-7b-beta.Q4_K_M.gguf --port 9876 --nobrowser --log-disable

check the docs

I have a htmx client for chatgpt, simply just change endpoint and everything works

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

learn ericclemmons/click-to-component from React Server Components with Dan Abramov (JS Party #311)

need a bit setup but it's much faster than react devtools

I create a simple script to add / remove it:

FILE=pages/_app.tsx

if [ "$1" == "add" ]; then
  yarn workspace app add click-to-react-component
  gsed -i -e '26 a import { ClickToComponent } from "click-to-react-component"' -e '73 a <ClickToComponent />' $FILE
elif [ "$1" == "remove" ]; then
  gsed -i '27d;75d' $FILE
  yarn workspace app remove click-to-react-component
else
  echo "'add' or 'remove'"
fi

saw couple extension of PRQL recently:

I love htmx, but this is magic:

<base target=htmz>

<iframe hidden name=htmz onload="setTimeout(()=>...)"></iframe>

a good use case for practicing rust: cloudflare/pingora: A library for building fast, reliable and evolvable network services.

there's already a project is working on it: memorysafety/river: This repository is the future home of the River reverse proxy application, based on the pingora library from Cloudflare.

noteworthy:

this is real, not in a movie: Five Minutes from LEO to Earth (uncut version)
