Great point, and I suspected the problem might not be as easy as it appears at first glance. (Because of course it isn't...) I also considered the case when you're rapidly scrolling through a page- if a naive approach simply mad

I just found that URL independently! I just added it to my medium post. Why do we even show interactable elements when the final layout isn't completed yet?

I frankly wish the web standards group had released an API for these so they could be handled at the browser level.

Reader mode is a thing, but if you can suggest a better (ahem) medium to repost it to, I'd be happy to! (Honestly, I'm sort of with you on the medium thing, but I posted this years ago now...)

On my (admittedly unusually powerful for this task) M4 Macbook Pro 128GB, I have access to locally-running LLM's that are almost as good as the cloud ones. This trend will continue, and they will continue to become more locally accessi

Maybe have it charge you for these leads, and make money that way? (Some dating apps already try to do this.)

Because as soon as you have a kid, your entire life is 1) work 2) family 3) sleep, 4) MAYBE some self-care, and there's not a lot of room at all left over for making friends, finding work opps that are better-suited for you (or higher-
