(forgot to mention, it's wired up to Claude so you can vibe CAD, like OP but with a few more steps - I'd like to train a similar model soon! I also wrote about my first stab at this https://campedersen.com/cad0)

Readers may also enjoy my open source Rust BRep CAD kernel https://github.com/ecto/vcad or the hosted version at https://vcad.io.

I also wrote a bit about what goes into CAD apps! https://campedersen.com/tessellation

I'm building https://vcad.io, a free CAD application with an open source kernel (Rust/WASM)!

ARC refcounts everything (many owners) whereas Loon refcounts only inside immutable shared tree nodes (one owner per handle)

Thanks :) Check out the code - it's Loon! https://github.com/ecto/loon/blob/main/web/src/pages/guide/o...

There are many like it, but this one is mine https://loonlang.com

Readers may enjoy my lisp, Loon, which takes heavy inspiration from Rust https://loonlang.com/guide/ownership

author here - the demos in the article are actually the Rust code compiled to WASM and running in your browser :)

Here's my take on CAD in the browser! https://vcad.io

I implemented a full kernel in rust and compile it to wasm https://github.com/ecto/vcad

Thanks for the bug report! I'll have some time later this week to look into it. Just had a baby :)

Simply expand the observation vector!

Fantastic question :) one could extrapolate the possibility space here to see the potential. The interesting core here is the emergent behavior clearly visible in the vizs - what happens when you measure this in higher-dimensional and more connected networks? (What if it’s not noids?) I think this is underexplored in interpretability today
