yep. pdfs often function as a sort of low-grade, plausibly deniable encryption

how did we reach a point where the most common format of documents is one that requires research worth billions of dollars just to simply parse

[Doug Hanley @iamlemec]

@WKCosmo at least for econ, they cite working papers that have multi-year publication lags. could explain level and trend

Had to take a shot at implementing a unit distance field in Gum. Play around with this in the live editor here: https://t.co/pdiOPpmXtN

[Alvaro Lozano-Robledo @mathandcobb]

The Gum language and tooling are written in pure TypeScript and are fully open-source (MIT). See the GitHub repo for more details. We would love your feedback and contributions! 6/6

Want to make beautiful figures and diagrams with LLMs? We're working on it at @CompendiumLabs!

LLMs are great at writing text and code, but they still struggle with creating precise visuals. So we made 𝗚𝘂𝗺: a concise, React-style graphics language that renders to SVG. 1/6

[Doug Hanley @iamlemec]

See the blog post for a full overview of Gum's uses and capabilities. You can render Gum directly in the terminal, on the web (React or not), in VSCode/Cursor, and even in IPython/Jupyter notebooks. 5/6
