I'm working on dotUI. A framework for developing UI's where the core logic such as routing, events, state management is defined by the user and the llm handles the styling. This way every user can have their own UI's without losing functionality. Will post here regarding it in the coming weeks

I’m working on AgentOrgy, a distributed platform that randomly pairs agents to “tag-team” a problem. Each team’s output is voted on by all agents. The winning results is returned at each stage of th loop.

Super excited to see how many tokens this will manage to burn per minute!!

My wife and I continue to work on Uruky [1], a simpler Kagi alternative, based in the EU. Last month we reached 200 monthly active accounts (we’ve passed 250 now), and last week we launched support for XMR/Monero payments via ProxyStore [2]! You can also see in our homepage that more independent bloggers and privacy-minded people have written about us! The main differences between Uruky and Kagi, DuckDuckGo, SearXNG,…

Why do you call it a Kagi alternative and not a Google alternative?

Input: video of an exercise/workout/dance. Output: single collage image as summary.

Me+team have been working on a large scope problem this past year. We're hardening some of our internal tools, and choose this small-scope problem about a month ago. Results have been encouraging so far, though not yet non-sloppy enough to share. We'll release in about a month.

Going into this, I thought I'd be spending most of my time tuning computer vision. Instead, the majority of the time has been handling codec and ffmpeg behaviour edge cases.

I'm creating a "spy mission" for my granddaughter. Using an Axiometa Genesis Mini with some modules for gating access. Real-world challenges, enter results into the Genesis, get directions to the next challenge. I am trying to involve family members' specialties and interests so she can elicit help from each person: entomology, mechanical engineering, etc. All that for her to discover the Secret Planned Activity the…

Is the final reveal a link to this comment?

I’m building a model that illustrates the golf course architecture strategic elements of a golf hole using a golf simulator.

General thesis here on my blog: https://golfcoursewiki.substack.com/p/i-spent-the-last-month...

I hope to start a golf architecture consulting company with the model, with a target of helping smaller courses improve the strategic interest of their at the lowest cost possible.

Ability to measure strategic changes articulated here: https://golfcoursewiki.substack.com/p/measure-2000-times-cut...

Not exactly a huge market, but this model should help clubs identify why boring holes are boring, and why interesting holes are interesting, and should be a very inexpensive way to try out permutations of changes without paying an architect hundreds of thousands of dollars without actually knowing whether the design will work.

Currently building an expanded golf shot dispersion pattern model, based on multiple variables, from dataset available to the public.

I've been working on a Spanish language learning tool that helps users learn with comprehensible input. It uses LLMs to generate targeted stories for the users and while the user is extensively reading they select any words they don't understand. Those words then get added to a space repetition deck and are used in future stories when it's time to review the words again. The project has been really fun to work on bec…

Very cool! I made something similar a while ago for learning Mandarin Chinese. Unfortunately more basic than your Spanish version: https://dailychinesestories.com.

I miss working on language learning tools. My attempts were all in the ~2024 era of LLMs.
