    I just asked it to create a torque spec diagram of the suspension for my car, a subject I'm pretty familiar with. It amazingly drew everything correctly, displayed the correct torque figures and allowed me to click on individual components to zoom in further, providing more specs.

    Genuinely one of the most impressive demos I've tried in a long time. I was able to use it almost like a living version of a classic illustrated Haynes workshop manual.

      I asked it about designing a 12 V solar system for a garden shed and it got everything but the broadest of strokes wrong. It figured out there should be a solar panel, a solar charge controller, a battery and some loads, but the wiring was non-sensical and when I drilled in on the solar charge controller settings etc. it completely fell apart. Absolute non-starter for any information you plan on depending on, but good entertainment value and impressive execution.

    Interesting idea, but just about everything is failing for me. Probably the HN hug of death happening.

    Cool project, but just a side thought I was having about how do people have resources and the money to make things like this and make it avl for public, I mean it's fair to say they have their own GPUs or if they are using api keys for gpt or Gemini with enterprise subsidized inference

    But still coming from a frugal background I still cannot wrap my head around this

      I didn't want to even try it because of similar. ("immigrant mentality" they call it around here. it's not a pejorative. TLDR: frugal because starting life over)

      and it's really slow. I didn't end up waiting. Not a slight to the creators, let them create. It's just really freaking slow I didn't wait.

    Very cool project ! I fear this might have a pretty high hallucination potential (with current models) the deeper you dig into the base image/context and clicking on potentially unrelated elements in the image. Nevertheless, love the idea.

    Game changer when the technology catches up

    Couldn't get it to load (probably getting hammered right now) but the concept is interesting. Feels like one of those things where the tech needs to get 10x cheaper before it actually makes sense as a product.

    Interesting idea and cool demo.

    For this to really be practical you'd need a way to run networks many times faster and more efficiently than today's GPUs. This is too slow to work even with cloud GPUs powering it.

    Maybe someday.

    This seems like an expensive product to subject to the HN hug of death.

    The sample videos on the tweet are very very cool.

    Unfortunately it didn’t really work for me, I’ll try it out in a few days when the traffic’s died down.

    It looks pretty nice - reminds me of Dorling Kindersley books. But the graphics, whilst stylised, are pretty hit-and-miss. Great idea, just a bit too soon.

    This is very cool, if a bit glitchy right now (probably thanks to HN popularity). I used to this to generate infographics of the rear subframe, diff carrier, and rear suspension of my car and to get detailed specifications on the bushings, suspension members, and other components. Most of the information matches what I already know, and could be really useful if trained specifically on manufacturer/dealer shop manuals to create interactive models of vehicles you can drill to and get part numbers and specifications for any component on a car.

    This is one of the more unique ideas i've encountered in a long time

    • matt_heimer 2 hours ago

      It's perfect for toddlers (I mean that in a good way), it's the infinite answer to the infinite "What's that?" series of questions they can generate. Make everything a hyperlink and it's almost like a LLM mind map of knowledge.

        Don't trust it too much. I got it to generate a datacenter filled with brains in jars, and it went with it.

    So cool! Love the exploration into new interfaces.

    This would make an amazing educational tool

  • moralestapia an hour ago

    This is real nice, wow. Congratulations.

    This very well could be a sneak-peek into how educational resources might look like in the future.

    The worst part of this sort of slop is the attention it squanders by being glacially slow.

    In the age of such enormous computing power, this sort of thing is pure waste.

    MS Encarta CDs were faster and more in-depth.

      Maybe it has an "act like a 56k modem connection" directive in its internal prompt. /s
