This page links to https://halupedia.com/observations-on-architectural-recursio...

Only problem I'm seeing is that you'd want pages to recognise when they're talking about the same thing, so that you don't have duplicates with slightly different titles and content. You'd want to avoid it re-introducing the same concept if it could refer to an existing matching concept on another page.

E.g. if I make another page https://halupedia.com/buildings-within-buildings-2, I'd expect it to refer to /buildings-within-buildings. Currently it doesn't mention it at all.

I'd also expect /architectural-recursion to mention Archibald Plinth, since he's the author of /observations-on-architectural-recursion. Instead, it mentions Archibald Flicker.

Maybe this can be solved with some kind of graph structure?

Fair point, the existing tools probably suck.

They'll definitely lose me though if the whole plan is to turn this into Codex running on GPUI.

If you don't want to be looking at code, why download a code editor? Why not just use the Codex app?

Turning Zed into Codex alienates the existing user base who installed Zed because it's a code editor. If I wanted Codex I would have installed Codex.

I personally don't love the idea of the default layout pushing aside my code and filetree to make space for AI tools

I really like Zed, I use it every day. But, if I'd seen this layout when I first installed, I never would have taken it seriously

I imagine this will push some new users away

Ian's Shoelace Site 6 months ago

I was like 10 years old when I learned about the Ian Knot. I'm 28 now.

I remember showing my friends at school. They were shocked how fast I could tie my shoelaces.

I don't even remember the normal way you're supposed to tie them

I guess I just googled "how to x" for literally everything when I was a kid

I agree with you but I'd point out that unless you've read the book it's difficult to know if the answer you got was accurate or it just kinda made it up. In my experience it makes stuff up.

Like, it behaves as if any answer is better than no answer.

isn't the point of design engineering to be capable of coming up with relatively original and innovative UI?

that's definitely why I got into it years ago, but it seems like it has lost it's meaning and been simplified into "engineer that likes design" or "engineer that wants to be good at design"

I told it to make a user persona. I described myself, and told it about things I'm into (youtube channels, forums, blogs etc). It made a full profile.

Then I asked it questions like "where does this person spend time online?" or "what do they enjoy doing in their free time?".

I actually discovered a few new places like this, e.g. r/depthhub
