I've noticed that my son spends way too much time on YouTube or playing Minecraft and one of the few offline activities he enjoys doing on his own is coloring. And since he comes to me every time he wants a new coloring book and we spend about 10 minutes together searching for each picture, I made a website with a collection of coloring books for him. The site is very simple, but to be honest, I haven't had so much f…

Great stuff! I tend to generate some colouring pages on the fly but these look great.

Can you add dinosaurs?

Two completely unrelated things: 1. An infinite realtime canvas for people all over the world to collaborate on pixel art: https://everyonedraw.com/6/4298/8439 2. An LLM-powered translator specifically optimized for English speakers living in Spanish-speaking countries: https://translate-spanish.com The first one is purely for fun to scratch my own itch, and the second is solving some frustrations I've had with exist…

Working on an AI to generate SVG vector images. SVGs are awesome and currently unrepresented in the diffusion-based model landscape. We have something that produces pretty great results and we're working on the next version which should be even better. https://vectorart.ai

Very impressive work. Are you still able to proceed with operating your lab despite the injunction passed against you for theft of trade secrets? [1] [1] https://www.sideman.com/ronald-fisher-and-ellen-leonida-achi...

yep, nothing in there prevents me from doing work. That article is mainly their legal team fluffing their own feathers for their clients, which I'd hope that one would be able to read between the lines for, considering it was published by the lawyers themselves. The lawsuit itself is quite frivolous and accusing me of stealing and using source code I didn't steal/use, so just have to go through the legal motions to prove that.

I'm making a VSCode extension that can record & replay interactions with the IDE: all scrolls, selections, and modifications synced to guiding video, audio, and visual aid tracks.

The result is a much more interactive way to present code than screencasts or blogs. Because at any point we can pause a session and freely explore and experiment with the codebase.

I put together a demo recently [1] and written much more about it here [2].
