What Hacker News says
5 sourcesThis is super impressive! I'd agree the open-source tooling isn't there yet, but it's coming in a few places. I started a 3D street visualizer but it's only at the scope of a few blocks at a time, not as large as a city area although we'd like to get there someday: https://github.com/3dstreet/3dstreet/
There's also https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet for larger area simulation but with less visual fidelity
In We built the city of Colombo in Cities:SkylinesExcellent, this solves the #1 problem I've had with LLM development assist -- providing context of the existing application source when making new requests. Delivering the output via a PR is a nice touch. Already created 2 PRs. Still need a tiny bit of tweaking manually before I merge these, but definitely saved at least 30 mins. Here are the 2 PRs that it generated for others curious to see its capabilities:
https://github.com/3DStreet/3dstreet/pull/324
