The author is definitely very skilled. I find it interesting they submit posts on HN but haven’t commented since 2018! And then embarked on this project.

As far as funding/time, one possibility is they are between endeavors/employment and it’s self funded as they have had a successful career or business financially. They were very efficient at the GPU utilization so it probably didn’t cost that much.

Thanks! Haha yeah I'm trying to get into the habit of writing about and sharing the random projects I do more often. And yeah the cost was surprisingly low (in the hundreds of dollars), so it was pretty accessible as a hobby project.
