>hyper realistic photo Never use the words "hyper realistic" when you want a photo. It makes no sense and misleads the generator. No one would describe a simple photograph as "hyper realistic," not a single real photo

Yes, it is impossible. People will think about things they find interesting regardless of your (dis-)approval. Who are you even calling "obsessive?" The collective of people who dare to mention algorithms you don't like? I me

Why is that "insane?" Drawing the same image in Photoshop, or modeling and rendering it, in the same quality and resolution on the same computer, would require much more time and energy.

My PC with a 3060 draws 200 W when generating an image and it takes under 30 seconds at that resolution, in some configurations (LCM) way under 10 seconds. That's a low end GPU. High end GPUs can generate at interactive frame rates. Yo

They like to talk about feelings a lot. Lots of posts about how it feels when their upcoming game reaches <number> of wishlists on Steam, or how it felt when their low resolution pixel art game using Kenney's asset packs flopped

Then you take the open source software and fork it and tailor it to your specific needs. If you can't do it yourself then you can always pay someone to do it for you. There's a remote possibility that threats of violence could wor

At minimum, somebody pressed a button. You can generate AI art that doesn't involve a prompt, using only random noise and sampler settings as input. It's a good way to test for bias in the training material or overfitting for a sp

I wonder who the "we" are that you speak for in this manifesto? Or is it the majestic plural?

Yes, please show me more political drama, especially of the US-based comedy show you guys call "politics." Can't get enough of it. Only 60% of my HN feed has "Trump", "DOGE" or "Musk" in the

That's a huge jump from "no smartphone" to "off the grid." I prefer using laptops and I prefer doing my banking on my laptop. I'm online a lot. I do have a smartphone, usually an older one, for calls, messaging

What's up with the redirect? You created an otherwise empty GitHub repo just so you can post a GitHub link instead of a direct link to the announcement of a private, closed source project. Why?

Reddit has restrictions on votes as well. The restrictions are not necessarily visible to you. You can click the vote button but that doesn't mean your vote is actually counted. There's "vote fuzzing" and lots of other d

I pasted those examples from an earlier, less nuanced discussion; the last example was tongue-in-cheek and I probably shouldn't have pasted it here. Still: "AI don't know what they don't know" is not universally tru

That's not accurate. They can and do say "I don't know". Here's three examples I posted last time the topic came up, using an older local Llama 3 model, not even cherry picked: User: What is the meaning of the word

I feel guilty! Sitting in my office in Central Europe and flagging the relentless stream of repetitive, off topic content in my feed as it flies by. In so much pain, because I feel immense guilt when I see the constant whinging of those poo

I flag it mostly because a single topic and an insane number of dupes are flooding my feed, making it basically useless. I want to see much less of the off-topic spam; flagging is the only effective way to signal that. So yes, it pushes &qu

It's not just me who flags it. Politics is off topic and gets flagged, whether you think it's relevant or not. Reposting the same crap 100 times is not going to help. Why not discuss it elsewhere because it's clearly not want

Yes they are always enforced that way. Redundant and off-topic content is always handled like this; a reasonable amount is allowed, the rest gets flagged. There's several huge threads discussing Musk/DOGE on HN, dang even said it&

These libraries are not compiled, packaged or distributed on their own; you have to include their code directly as part of your C/C++ game or app. You acquire and update them using git.

I'm a programmer, I suck at math and I wholeheartedly agree. It's always humbling to see colleagues with better math skills than me elegantly solve problems that I'd consider difficult and complex, particularly in graphics an

You've never submitted anything before, but now was the perfect time to pile on and post some more Musk related bait. Because there isn't enough of that already? I wouldn't normally flag that because it's not off topic,

My HN RSS feed (newest posts with at least 10 points; I think I'm gonna have to raise that number) is basically useless because it's mostly Elon Musk and other US politics drama. People repeatedly complaining about spammy off-topi

If all the posts concerning US politics that have showed up in my HN feed[0] today (maybe ~40% of all feed items) had ended up on the frontpage, the site would be useless to me. And probably to all those other users that flagged them as wel

I called it a clone because it's the same software with the same look and feel, the same features, and the same invite rules. It's an obvious clone of lobste.rs the website, only even more exclusively tailored to a niche audience.
