Most of us were amused when DALL-E and its peers went mainstream, and we were quick to point out the obvious flaws.Then ChatGPT hit the scene and again, many of us dismissed it as a parlor trick that would never amount to much.Using LLMs for coding initially was a only small step up from basic code completion, and a welcome farewell to Stack Overflow.I am curious: what was the specific moment that you went from those quaint, dismissive observations to a slightly panicked,
&quot;Uh Oh&quot; realization of what these models can do?

Harness engineering: Leveraging Codex in an agent-first world

Hi!This is an infinite canvas note-taking tool where notes are laid out in a non-Euclidean, hyperbolic geometric space. As you drag and navigate through the view, you’ll experience a unique fluid distortion that naturally leverages your brain&#x27;s spatial memory.I’ve been obsessed with the concept of space in HCI for years. Many modern UI patterns are essentially workarounds for the lack of screen real estate. While researching zoom-based UIs a while back, I stumbled upon old HCI papers that used the Poincaré disk model of the hyperbolic plane to organize data. It elegantly projects an infinite space into a finite disk, keeping everything contextually visible.I wanted to build an experimental app around this concept years ago, but the non-Euclidean math was a significant roadblock. Recently, I decided to give it a shot with the help of LLMs. It turns out that LLMs can handle the mathematical heavy lifting quite well, specifically in designing the coordinate systems and optimization algorithms, provided that you guide them with a solid architectural design.This is still an experimental demo, but I hope it leaves an impression. I’d love to know if you find this paradigm practical for organizing your thoughts.
