The missing text focused programming environment (utoronto.ca)
Hot take: the enduring popularity of writing applications in a list of environments that starts with Emacs Lisp and goes on to encompass things like Electron shows that we've persistently failed to create a good high level programming system for writing text-focused applications.

Show HN: Visual inference exploration and experimentation playground (github.com/devidw)
inferit is a visual take on llm inference. Most inference frontends are limited to a single visual input/output "thread". This makes it hard to compare output from different models, prompts and sampler settings. inferit solves this with its UI that allows for an unlimited number of side-by-side generations. This makes it a perfect fit to compare and experiment with different models, prompts and sampler settings.
