Geomatic – A command-driven geometry studio enabled with autodiff

In plain words

Geomatic is a command-driven geometry studio that lets users create and manipulate geometric shapes through simple text commands. Points, lines, and other elements are built on demand, and the tool supports broadcasting semantics for generating multiple shapes with varying parameters. It includes autodifferentiation capabilities for running gradient descent and visualizing vector fields. Changes to variables automatically update all dependent geometry reactively, and users can write custom visualizations that work within the same system.

In the maker’s words, at launch

All commands have the format `output = \func inputs` or just `\function inputs`. Points and scalars are built on the fly. Eg `\line a b` to an empty canvas creates points `a` and `b`, and joins them with a line. One can use broadcasting semantics similar to NumPy and PyTorch in a visual setting (imagine creating a…

  A Spatial Environment for Python2022 · python.natto.dev · ▲169

  Hi all! A little background: I've been working on natto.dev, a spatial environment for JavaScript. I'm really excited about new interfaces for code (leveraging metaphors we're good at, spatial reasoning, making state visible, design tools, etc). With all the buzz around PyScript, I discovered Pyodide and got it working inside natto. This Python version is a stripped down version of https://natto.dev (eg interactive outputs, multiplayer) so please check that out if this interests you. I'm excited to share this spatial environment for Python. Imagine Jupyter cells arranged on a 2D…

  ChartDB Agent – Cursor for DB schema design2025 · app.chartdb.io · ▲130

  Last year we launched ChartDB OSS (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44972238) - an open-source tool that generates ER diagrams from your database (via query/sql/dbml) without needing direct DB access. Now we’re launching the ChartDB Agent. It helps you design databases from scratch or make schema changes with natural language. You can: - Generate schemas by simply describing them in plain English - Brainstorm new tables, columns, and relationships with AI - Iterate visually in a diagram (ERD) - Deterministically export SQL script Try it out here -…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
