Playing with a new TeXipedia feature: "Draw to Search"

Try it out: texipedia.com

What do you think?

Cursor is gradually becoming more agentic for coding. But it's a spectrum, not a binary

I suspect the path toward "agents" will look like this

Start with vertical SMEs in a tight human feedback loop, then slowly improve

I gave Claude just a few half-baked bullet point guidelines about my preferences, and it write a whole detailed style prompt for itself

Claude's new "custom styles" feature is sweet!

LLMs are becoming a sort of "meta-compiler" of text -> anything

I'm now using Claude to "compile" my high level intent to more precise style instructions for...itself as a text compiler

This is getting so meta and I love it 🥰

and I need more chart jokes in my life

One tiny productivity hack I’ve found is just putting the filename at the top of every code file

Then when I select all + copy/paste to an LLM, it has more context and keeps the artifacts straight

lol, already happening, even faster than I expected!

would be amazing if we could align on more shared facts like this (somehow?)

but...I assume this graph is about to completely flip again...

LaTeX is the gold standard for technical writing.

But I can never remember all the symbol commands, can you?

So I made TeXipedia.com, a free site to find symbols fast.

Give it a spin. Would love any feedback. How can I make it better?
