what are the long term complications of being lean and muscular I wonder 🤔

also on the original quoted post, maybe not super outrageous but classics for me are "bmi says you are obese and should move more" and "are you on steroids" -- most fun if both land during the same visit

haha yes that's why I usually try to find "sport doctors" for these things

short of EMS is this even possible

oh one more thing - I now often stage screenshots in a way that tries to provide more context in the image - leave a little note next to thing I'm screenshotting, a reference material, etc. - which makes it easier to find later / stumble upon randomly

it's one of those things like keeping a journal or zettlekasten or something - it's been more and more useful the more stuff is in it

I have two pretty common use cases - I either vaguely remember something ("Adam had this good bsky post about X") and want to get it back, or I want like ultra-curated Pinterest - I start with something fuzzily related to what I'm working on, and use similar images to dig out things I forgot about

love the question! I had a handful of situations where I wanted to come back to something and the page was gone or completely changed, removing the original text

yes! quick but simple responses just have a different feel than long and thought out ones, and I think there's design space/need for both

this is intriguing, curious if there's a light interface to be built around this, but what even is the right metaphor, these aren't really "filters" or "components", but there's something about the repeatability of the actions taken that feels like could be abstracted maybe..?

Szymon Kaliski @szymonkaliski.com · 13/01/2026

it's just the Gemini Flash model, it doesn't do anything that gemini.google.com wouldn't do, you can just paste the image there and see I guess the point is mostly the "vibe" of the interaction, not the model

Szymon Kaliski @szymonkaliski.com · 13/01/2026

totally! it's just an LLM after all, there's no extra magic here; if you were to draw an ASCII diagram in a chat asking about this, you'd most probably get very similar result

I was supposed to be a doctor you see

thank you for the explanation! I'll think about this :)

after the next model response, the previous live examples are frozen in time, only the latest one remains interactive (as you can draw on top of them, so if you could continue to interact, the drawing/state would drift and be confusing) -- this is more of a design choice

🙃 dynamicland.org/2024/FAQ/#Wh...

no, this generates js canvas code I like your use-case though! can you give me some examples of the kinds of diagrams you're thinking about?

overall the tradeoff of "quality" vs "speed" seems to make a lot of sense here, I'm just sketching something I'm interested in, and getting responses back in seconds I also really like the vibe of hand-drawn human input and "technical" model responses

prototyping co-drawing with Gemini Flash 3 at Google in these demos "thinking" is disabled, which makes the model return tokens very quickly (all videos are realtime), and I find these rapid responses pretty good for the use-cases I'm experimenting with, like: executing simple diagrams ...

this is super exciting Adam, looking forward to following the progress!

yes! but other things that were hard are still hard (data interop, "substrate" where all my apps/dynamic docs live, history tracking not for nerds, "blast radius" of making modifications and preserving old versions/data, etc!)

Szymon Kaliski @szymonkaliski.com · 24/12/2025

it's so weird to see this essay still pop up after seven years! @inkandswitch.com is still at it with the recent www.inkandswitch.com/malleable-so... and related work, maybe there's a more LLM-related piece brewing (dunno!) -- feels like the context both has, and hasn't, changed

thanks! I am familiar with that work, yes :)
