Forums for authors/writing also seem to be thriving, interestingly enough.

Haha, I was in a very similar boat when I built https://novelgens.com -- I was also supposed to be making a video game, but got a bit sidetracked with VQGAN+CLIP and other text/image generation models. Now I'm using th

These prices seem comparable to established platforms like Upwork for isolated features like this, even if you filter to West-only freelancers. I sometimes take small gigs like this to learn new tools and/or just help the community whi

I've always loved the submissions for new writing tools here on HN, so I've kept a growing list of my favorites for a long time. When I needed to learn React, I built Fiction.Tools to make all those tools searchable and filterable

FWIW, I'd bet I could replicate many of these games sans release polish in a weekend in Unity solely because of their expansive asset store. Building them from scratch would take longer, but not that much longer. If Godot had even the

A falling knife has no handle. It's always best to catch the knife after it's settled on the ground. ;)

Been using Unity for almost 2 years. Had no wavering when Unreal demoed lumen, metahumans, etc, nor when Unity doubled down on mobile games (even though it's not my market). I've always liked how Unity doesn't respond to what

This definitely seems like a likely outcome, especially considering how the world has responded to GDPR: ignore it if you're out of the EU or throw resources at the problem to meet a bare minimum requirement (and cross your fingers) if

This comment is especially true for the majority of the VPN companies plaguing YouTube ads/sponsorships right now. It's interesting they've all pivoted more towards "get netflix content from any country" than securi

Interestingly enough, Notes are editable (as seen by the "edited" tag on https://twitter.com/i/notes/1539613004370788352 ). Might be an indicator of how editing will work if/when it trickles down to

What happens to the "heat" energy that gets reflected by white/reflective roofs? It seems like it'd stay in the relative vicinity of the house, heating up the outside air further (even by a small amount), right? If that&

Side note on Heroku: they've been very aggressively upgrading old app dependencies this week (I've had ~9 apps go down for mandatory Postgres maintenance in the last 24h, with almost no notice for some of them). With how little in

This looks like it's just running Linux VMs as a guest in macOS, right? Was that not already possible on macOS, or just not possible on the M1/M2 chips?

I have a similar story to the comment you're replying to and remember most, if not all, of my dreams each night -- which are almost entirely vivid nightmares I'd prefer not to remember. Lucid dreaming is a skill that can help (wak

>What you need to do instead, if you remember anything at all (even just part of a dream, some fleeting image) is get out a piece of paper and write it down immediately, in as much detail as possible. I've had very good luck with a

There are many facets to the Brave browser and the server-side Brave services it uses that would allow the Brave company to covertly collect all kinds of data from its users; Brave simply asks users to just trust that they don't want o

In a time before electronic bank statements, I had a long back and forth with my bank trying to put a stop to receiving any or all of my accounts' paper statements and eventually just claimed that I moved out and no longer had an activ

This is probably a very location-dependent experience. I had literal stacks of spam mail every single mail day when I lived in Springfield and Kansas City, almost zero spam mail over entire years when I lived in smaller Missouri cities, and

Not the best vibe from a company whose livelihood is dependent on convincing more and more people to trust them with more and more data.

Alternatively, you're also free to pay many of the same manipulators that knocked you off for their SEO services in bumping you back up...

Running novelgens.com basically gives me that job title. I occasionally build new features, but really all I do all day is review generated text/images and flag the good ones as "ready to release". :)

If a service is marketed as an "alternative" to any competitor, I think it's generally reasonable to assume that service covers most of the basic features offered by that competitor. I've seen tons of "Heroku altern

Gato, to me, just makes me think "cat", which kind of has a fun ring along "cats on the internet". IMO it sounds more friendly than a robot with a robo-name like C-3PO! However, I also have a nice robot-named-Gato associ

I think that's the big difference that causes confusion here: Musk is wealthy, not rich. The companies are worth a lot, but generally not producing dollar bills for him. His ownership in companies worth a lot is why he's valued

I'm not really a fan of keeping the dongle attached to my headphones since all of my other devices have actual jacks. This probably works well if none of your devices have jacks (and they all have usb-c), though.

Any recommendations? I've been holding off on upgrading my shattered-screen 3a for almost 6 months assuming I'd get the 6a when it released, so pretty much anything would be an upgrade at this point. I'm really just looking f
