• Show HN: Prompt-Tower – Simplify writing prompts with multiple code blocks

  Prompt-tower simplifies and speeds-up how prompts with multiple code blocks are written. It's often a pain jumping between files, classes, functions, etc and copying/pasting everything, wrapping and annotating the blocks, and finally sending the prompt off for generation.

  One of the first things we did when GPT-4 became available was talk to our Azure rep and get access to the OpenAI models that they'd partnered with Microsoft to host in Azure. Now, we have our own private, not-datamined (so they claim, contractually) API endpoint and we use an OpenAI integration in VS Code[1] to connect to, allowing anyone in the company to use it to help them code.

• Show HN: Volume rendering 3D data in Three.js and GLSL

  Sure I'd be happy to check it out, my email's in my profile (or Github/website). There are some tradeoffs w/ WebAssembly as well (not sharing the same memory as JS/TS is the biggest one) and debugging can be a bit tough as well though now there's a good VSCode plugin for it [0].
