Instagram banned my account without reason. Or rather, they turned off my ability to interact with the account. The account is still there. People can view my photos. At this point I would just like the account removed, but there's no

I never understood the obsession with inbox zero. I treat my inbox like the HN front page. If a headline catches my eye, I click on it. Otherwise, it falls off and disappears and I forget about it. I suppose for people whose job is replying

Firstly, congrats on the weight loss. 30 pounds is huge. It sounds like you're on the right track. My thoughts on hunger: I used to treat hunger as if my body was signalling that it needed food right to survive. Then one day I got sick

> artists actually getting paid for their work for once is a win in my books Does the source of the money not matter? Millions of people, many of whom are artists, are being scammed out of their money to pump the value of ETH, but since

My first reaction was annoyance: "It's just stealing work from thousands of other artists!" But then I realized that I, as an artist, basically do the same thing. Why is it ok for me to do, but not a machine?

I think texture generation is ripe for disruption. Imagine a tool that could generate a set of tiling PBR textures based on a few input parameters. Or one where you define which areas of a UV map should be windows, doors, or walls, and it g

I don't disagree with anything you've said. I'm not trying to argue that all commercial art corrupts artists. So many of the artists I look up to are commercial artists themselves. I'm more attacking the idea that an art
