@petergyang What are you making with Claude to justify the higher cost?

[David Lin @I_ChunLin]

@puckrin is an altseason still coming?

I'm testing an anti-recency layout: an infinite map. The goal is algorithmic meritocracy: 0 followers or 100k, if your work fits the coordinate space of that stylistic cluster, you get the views.

Getting WebGL, React, and custom shaders to play nicely in a zero-copy pipeline with GPT-5.5!

@shawmakesmagic let me try your prompt

1536D → UMAP (5-10D) → HDBSCAN

The GPU Update Trigger: When we finally do update, we don't tell the GPU to "rebuild the map." We use an updateTrigger that says: "Hey, just tweak the fontSize buffer on the GPU. Everything else stays the same."

How SoftMarket avoids this (The Throttled Bridge)
We use a three-layer "shield" to protect performance:

The RAF Shield (requestAnimationFrame): We only talk to React when the browser is ready to paint a new frame.

@GeminiApp, can we get a way to quote previous messages?
Currently, if I want to tweak an image from earlier in the chat, I have to describe it all over again. A simple "Reply" button would make the creative flow so much smoother!

@flowstated If it works on an iPad, marking up UI designs will be more intuitive than ever

[David Lin @I_ChunLin]

@Tech_girlll almost did the same

[David Lin @I_ChunLin]

@leland_mcinnes Still pretty new to it, but it’s turning real designer portfolios into meaningful aesthetic coordinates + live hiring signals. Really appreciate the visibility!

How is everyone building with @GeminiApp Embedding 2 right now… and I’m building mine for the designers?

The new multimodal model (text + images + video + audio + PDFs in one space) dropped 19 days ago and builders are already shipping fast. Here’s the current wave 👇

@leland_mcinnes @leland_mcinnes Thank you for the repost!

I completely forgot to credit you and UMAP in the original thread — my mistake. The projection from Gemini multimodal embeddings (1408D) into the 2D SoftMarket Map only works this cleanly because of UMAP.
