I like the convenience of ebooks but the physical feel of paperback is unmatched.

I can still remember where I was when I read a certain book or even a chapter in case of a physical book. With my kindle it's a blur to me.

I also like to see my bookmark gradually make its way down the book over time.


I think that may be comparing cc against opus with cursor. This post compares against Auto+Composer pool. It does mention that if you used a frontier model then the gap would be even wider.


Thanks for not cherry picking the output. The demos look great for a single prompt output. I can see myself playtesting a mechanic that I just thought of but would probably take longer to implement in my own WIP game etc.

I think this has great value just now, can't wait for it to get better. Keep at it.


en passant doesn't work in the demo


This seems to be the Turing Test for chess software.


Amazing achievement! I just wanted to point out that the linked blog page has an incorrect publish date. It says "Published: 12/15/2024"


Good catch! I guess I am still mentally stuck in 2024.

Fixing it now, thanks for letting me know!


I agree about clarity, so this is just an aside but that's what makes it a fun experience for me. It's unlike reading anyone else (although I haven't read many authors). I'd say no country for old men was still pretty straightforward, but I had to re-read sentences and whole paragraphs with blood meridian.

The work makes it worth it, makes it that much more rewarding to me personally. It's like choosing to play a difficult videogame, because you know once you overcome it, it'll be great.


I agree, his literary work is unique, and does take a bit more work to read, and with that it includes additional meaning behind it. For example, in The Road often times it doesn't even matter if its the boy or the man saying it.

However, I wouldn't take his advice on how to write for clarity. I too often found myself rereading paragraph, "wait is this description or dialogue", "who said that" - this is not what you want in scientific papers


About collaborative presentation, can't you click on the user icon (usually top right) for whoever's leading and figma will follow the screen to their cursor?

I distinctly remember that it's possible in Miro, and I'm pretty sure figma too. I think the problem you bring up has been pretty much solved.


I was referring to prototype viewing, not the design community


That makes a lot of sense, my bad. I didn't pick up on the presentation part, even after I included the term in my comment. "Present" directly took me to sharing your screen.


Yes you can.


there's a typo in the link, this is the correct link: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/using-llms-for-code/


I hate that MacOS hides scrollbars by default. First thing I do when I setup a MacBook is to set it to always show scrollbars.


It is not exactly what you're looking for but this might be a middle ground. It does let you delete things, but after a certain length, you can't do it anymore.

Super clever idea, but ironically my biggest issue re: self-editing is often the first sentence of a draft haha
