I am playing around with creating a public domain repository for ebooks. https://babelnexus.com There are a few differences. It uses core collection theory and is selective. The name comes from the short story The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges. Borges used Hexagonal Galleries for his library. I realized you could put anything into hexagonal galleries. It did not have to be books composed of random letters. I also saw that you could use different levels to group kinds of knowledge using the spiral staircase concept. I have added other concepts like reading trails and cortex maps. I learned that the hexagonal concept of Borges library matches with knowledge graphs with both nodes and edges. There is a lot of experimentation in what I am doing. It is an art project, a bit of philosophizing, a bit on the public domain and many other things.

#152My side project is now codebase explainability. I basically don't buy the premise that we just have to give up on comprehension as code generation scales; I just think that text is too limited by itself. So going a step deeper than asking Claudex "teach me this project", but having it produce a navigable snapshot of what's going on.
Big bang prototypes have been pretty awful, even after feeding the LLMs huge documents / wishlists / descriptions of how it should work, etc. Part of the experiment was giving LLMs some leeway to make product decisions with a lot of north star guidance, but AFAICT they are really bad at this. I also tried basic bottom-up efforts, which have been better but obviously more tedious. Now I'm trying to find a more scalable bottom-up approach that is more LLM-accelerated

#154I was an experienced game designer and producer (mostly RTS and narrative RPG). Some years ago, my career was derailed by major health developments. Since then, I haven't been able to work as I once did. I didn't expect I'd be able to meaningfully contribute to a game again. Earlier this year, a colleague encouraged me to experiment with Claude Code. So now I have a little game project. :) Being unfamiliar with genAI…
I'd love to try it out too.

#155I continue to work on version 2 of a product that’s been shipping for the last couple of years. I’m not linking to it, because the last thing it needs, is a bunch of folks registering single-use accounts, only to find it doesn’t interest them, but we need to wait a year, to delete the resource hog they registered.
Version 2 is a significant upgrade, and is a bottom-to-top rewrite of both the backend server, and frontend app.
I’ve been using an LLM extensively, and it’s been a huge help. I have, however, also run into its limitations.
