On the one hand, the fact that anything outside of ASCII is a failure mode is good for a laugh. On the other hand, “AI” defaulting to a narrow and US-centric view of the world is not doing the discipline any favors. Is it really that hard t

It seems the AI doesn't know the difference between a hedgehog and a porcupine. (A quick check shows Stable Diffusion at least knows the two animals on a high level.) Leaving aside the creepiness factor, I wonder what confusion will b

9 x 12 inches and 11 x 14 inches are standard in art paper in the US. As are 5 x 7 and 8 x 10. The first one, 9 x 12, happens to also be “ARCH A” but I haven’t seen a fancy name for the others.

That's been my experience too -- after all, HR people are also just trying to do their jobs as well as they can, and if you need something they perceive as their job to provide, they're usually helpful. But it's important to

I once worked on a product that was heavily invested in regular expressions, and fairly non-technical users generated more, often hundreds per day. Of course this led to a certain amount of UI whack-a-mole: people learn a mini-language real

Depends what you mean by "hire," and I suppose part of the point of a DAO is to make that ambiguous. But if you have a full-time photographer who turns out to be in North Korea, it might be inconvenient, and I say that with no il

I met a youngish European guy who was working as a project manager for a DAO, I forget what they did but they made money and the staff got paid (crypto). It turned out many of the people working for the DAO were anonymous and nobody in the

I guess you have to download it to see how much "better" the UI is; I couldn't find any evidence of that on the App Store or the developer's site. And by "non-native" I guess they mean that DiffusionBee is wrap

For anyone who makes art, absolutely. I even use Procreate for brainstorming sometimes, because it's so much faster and more intuitive than any other app I've used. Another thing that IMO is way better on iPad/Pencil is PDF

I took a quick look at some positions in Munich and the pay did not look very competitive with industry. However, public service has other advantages, and if you prefer to not rent your soul to Capital like so many of us do, I think the sa

That sounds interesting. I have an off-grid house and will probably have another eventually, so when it gets that far add me to your mailing list!

Is ChatGPT that good at programming tasks for a real app? What kind of instruction do you give it? I tried some toy examples for Python and was impressed but I haven’t tried to do anything useful yet.

Ooh very cool, I had never heard of these. A long time ago I thought about becoming a VJ (as we called them, Google suggests this is not the term anymore). I had some ideas about generating video and how to control it, and I was spending e

How useful do you find the training? Do you think you’ll be able to use what you’re learning, or is it more about having the certificate?

It’s not related to any of my crazy business ideas. I ate a Korean ice-cream sandwich today and it was undeniably ice cream but also about four times lighter than, say, a Magnum. Physics being not my thing, I wonder how they do that. More

Me? I’m trying to poke holes in my latest crazy business idea. And wondering how you can make ice cream of a specific density. And feeling a little embarrassed that I forgot you have to actually write the Ask HN in your Ask HN.

FWIW: webtoons are huge in Thailand, I don't know where the content comes from (Korea, probably?) but it's a format that lends itself really well to translation. I would love to see more crazy, experimental, weird stuff on webtoon

In some parts of the EU, it’s still pretty common to do the down payment of a private real estate transaction in cash, and that can easily exceed €10K. I’ve done it myself and I’m not even a local. If it’s illegal then it’s just going to g
