Hiya! So I've been playing around with having Claude make videos for a bit now even had some success posting the results to TikTok (and setup a whole pipeline so Claude can generate and post autonomously). With the release of Nano Banana 2 Lite, I was curious show fast I could make the generation, so last night I gave it a whirl and got down to around 30s for short-form video.It uses GLM-5.2...
The raw data is a 2.9 GB Parquet file. I built MedicaidSpending.org to make it searchable and browsable.
You can search by provider name or NPI, browse by state/city/specialty, and see individual provider pages with monthly spending trends, billing code breakdowns, and automated billing flags for statistical outliers.
Some of the patterns are striking. Brooklyn alone accounts for $31.8 billion in personal care services (code T1019) _ more than most states spend on all Medicaid combined. Some authorized officials control hundreds of billing entities. Early analysts scanning just 0.16% of providers flagged $90 billion in likely fraudulent payments.
Technical details: - Go single binary, ~15 MB - 3.3 GB SQLite database (read-only, pre-aggregated from the 227M rows using DuckDB) - 900,000+ indexable pages generated from 13 templates - No JavaScript framework _ server-rendered HTML, Chart.js for one chart per provider page - Runs on a single VPS behind Caddy
Data sources: HHS Medicaid Provider Spending dataset, NPPES provider registry, HCPCS code descriptions, OIG exclusion list, NUCC taxonomy codes.
All public data, no login required.
Just a simple 20-minute project with Claude Code but one that I use every day for grocery shopping with my wife.The interesting technical piece is that each list is a Cloudflare Durable Object that handles both the websocket as well as data storage via the now built-in SQLite dbs.I love the Cloudflare stack generally but it really shines with little projects like this in that request and...
I’m sure that story sounds a little precious, but I’m finding real value in talking with these sorts of bots. Behind the screens, they’re just a thin wrapper around ChatGPT, but a bit of tuning for a specific use case seems to make the whole interaction much more natural. Please try it out and let me know what you think!
I had the idea because I’m a bit of a psychology nerd and, while I haven’t done a ton of therapy myself, I’ve got a lot of out reading people like Albert Ellis and Carl Rogers and using some of the techniques from modalities like CBT. I’ve also seen lots of people close to me struggling with mental health and finding and keeping a therapist seems to be a big part of that. Therapy can be great, but it seems to be hard to find someone you really connect with and limiting your interactions to a single, specific hour each week can leave you unsupported when you most need it. So the idea of a confidential and anonymous therapy-like chatbot, available any time you need it, seemed like it might have some value.
I’m just now diving into the world of therapy chatbots, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything similar that’s as open and accessible as this. The closest I can think of is 7Cups, that’s that’s real people not AI. (Am a huge fan of 7Cups, though, and have been a listener there for years.)
Technically, it’s just a very thin wrapper on the ChatGPT API. Other than the interface, all I really supply is the prompt. The app itself runs entirely on Cloudflare Pages and the frontend is just Alpine.js and Simple.css. I’m a Rails guy, but Cloudflare Pages and Cloudflare Workers have become by go-to for rapid prototyping like this because it’s such so quick and easy.
Hope some of it you find it useful, and I’d love to know what y’all think!
