it's possible, takes a bit of finesse. i might add an auto-swing to make it easier. you can also jump to shift momentum aggressively

the blocks and building scales are accurate - based on OpenNYC, but the building styles / shapes are generic

Show HN: Local Email Client for AI Horseless Carriages

shahahmed — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 17:36:55 +0000

The AI Horseless Carriages article spurred a lot of conversation about how we should just be giving users the system prompt box [0], and we were pretty surprised that a bunch of email clients didn’t pop up following this pattern [1].

So we went ahead and created a local [2] email client that you can run that processes your inbox with your own handwritten rules. It lets you label and archive based on natural language rules. You can draft responses with your own drafting prompt, and there’s a “research sender” option that uses web search to get public info on a sender. You can customize any of the prompts to fit your needs. We’d love to hear what you think and PRs/issues are welcome!

Show HN: Toy LLM Daydreaming

shahahmed — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 16:55:19 +0000

After reading gwern’s post two days ago about LLM Daydreaming [0], I wanted to just see how it would behave. I grabbed the top vital article titles from wikipedia [1] and made a simple next js app to try the prompt in a loop.

It was pretty interesting to see the connections made between concepts. Happy to host this if people find it useful!

thanks for checking it out. i imagine 2 things, 1 - any edit actions require a "human in the loop" approval. 2 - for sensitive info, internal instances of llms or only local models accessing info
