Show HN: I turned my quote collection into a walkable 3D library
Since 2017, each time I finish a book I save a single quote from it. I like revisiting them sometimes, for example at the end of the year or just. This collection is available as plain text on my website.
So I thought it may be fun to ask the agents to port this into a 3D library where I can actually walk around and pick up the books, and I think it sort of worked! I'm not sure this is that interesting for people other than me – those are my books! – but I just find it really cool that you can just do one-off random things like this with minimal effort.
Only available on desktop, since movement is WASD + mouse.

Ask HN: What are some of the use-cases of the frontier models's max mode?
Recently ChatGPT released an Ultra mode, it's "highest-capability setting, coordinating multiple agents across parallel workstreams to finish complex tasks faster" on their latest flagship product Sol of GPT-5.6. Similarly, Claude Fable also has an Ultra setting.
I wonder what are primary workflows or use-cases this maximised modes are used for currently? In my average software development experience, I never had a need to go beyond the max mode or beyond Opus for example. Even in specific workflows, the model's capability rarely mattered as compared to the harnesses or the context.
Are there any specific industries (finance, lifescience, etc.) that uses these max modes regularly or for specific workflows? Curious to know if anyone's making use of these and would like to share how you're using it.
