Call me a cynic, but I feel manipulated when a brand new account posts a question mentioning a product posted on Show HN an hour prior, by a another new account, and the Show HN only has [dead] comments by brand new accounts. Oh, and the vo

I like to call myself a hobbyist musician. If I could give the chord progression I just played on my piano to an AI and have it spit out ideas for melodies or more chords for a chorus that would go well with my 4 chords then I'd be a m

I would like to see a comparison of the amount of electrity used to run AI and the total electricity used to run computer games. I'm quite sure we're wasting much more resources on computer games, just for entertainment.

You can disagree (with what though?) but that doesn't really change anything: You have that website, but no one is gonna use it because there are thousands of better, more populated alternatives. HN is not the right place to jumpstart

It's bizarre because you didn't expect to receive pushback for your self-promotion? Show HN is for interesting things. "I made this forum about 'projects' and now I want users." is not interesting. There is not

You made 4 submissions, all of them are self-promotion. Read the rules that you quoted from. You made this post not because you wanted to share something interesting; you made it because you want users. But your forum website has no value p

You've posted nothing but self-promotion so far. You don't get to throw the rulebook at me. >If I want to build a site related to music and am looking for someone to build with on the technical side, are you saying you'd f

If I wanted to find people to work with, I'd go where those people are: one of the many more or less specialized social networks. I wouldn't sign up to some empty website with one active user, which is the site's anonymous ow

In the EU it is mandatory to provide your fingerprints and a biometric scan of your face to the government. The data is stored on your government issued identification card.

You showed your game and asked for feedback. I gave you honest feedback: I won't play your "daily" game, because I think the "daily" aspect is an unnecessarily enforced, inherently player-hostile, mindlessly imitate

You mean that one game that actually managed to pull off the game-a-day scheme four years ago through clever design and simple gameplay? The game with the inherently player-hostile scheme that's still inspiring thousands of talentless

I will not come every day to play your "daily" game. I may look at it once and never come back, because I refuse to be held hostage by your artificial restriction (not to say preemptive enshittification) of getting one play per da

Or maybe we could stop anthropomorphizing tech and call the "hallucinations" what they really are: artifacts introduced by lossy compression. No one is calling the crap that shows up in JPEGs "hallucinations" or "bu

The "Mathematical Surgery" illustration is funny. Mathematicians can make a sphere from a torus and two halves of a sphere. Amazing!

AI art is not limited to writing a prompt and hoping for the best. There's a multitude of ways to control the generation: img2img, ControlNet, Openpose, InstantID and several other techniques. You can train LoRAs on your characters for

Deliberately putting bogus timestamps on user actions seems fraudulent. I do not want this website to say I did something minutes/hours ago even though I wasn't even here in a week's time. I think this should be illegal, and

This HN post is seven days old but displayed and ranked as if it was posted 9 hours ago, with all timestamps falsified. The déjà vu effect is disconcerting and an absolute mind fuck. Please stop doing this, ffs. The person who thought thi

Go after computer games instead. There are millions of gamers around the world wasting electricity just for fun. You could generate several images and pages of text with the energy it takes to run a modern game for just a few seconds .

Once all devices are locked down and all control has been taken away from the users, we can finally have functional DRM on every device and make this dream come true. > I feel like we're part of a dying generation or something Well.

I'm not GP, but here goes: LLMs are token-based, which are words or word fragments; they have limited ability to work on a letter-by-letter basis. They can't reliably count letters in a sentence, for example. "give it a strin

Yeah, as in "you can just go and buy one." It looks like they made it intentionally hard to acquire the ticket: government issued identification required, no way to purchase it ad hoc, subscription only; it's German bureaucra

It doesn't. The ticket is available as a monthly subscription only, you can't just go and buy one.
