FLUX.1 Kontext —Context-aware image generation and editing tools
by AllenRen | 2025-06-03 13:29:56+00:00
FLUX Kontext: AI-Powered Image Editing Made Simple Hey HN, I've been working on https://kontextflux.com – an AI-powered image editing platform using Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 Kontext models, designed for easy, professional-grade visual edits without requiring expert skills.

What it does：Upload an image, describe your desired changes in plain text, and it edits only the specified parts while preserving the rest. Think "change the character's expression" or "add a new background style" – it understands context and maintains consistency.

Tech stack： 1.Next.js 19, TypeScript 2.Supabase for database 3.FAL.AI for model hosting 4.Cloudflare R2 for storageStandard SaaS setup optimized for performance.

Why I built this？ Most AI image tools either regenerate entire images or produce inconsistent edits. FLUX Kontext excels at precise, context-aware edits, preserving the original image’s style, lighting, and composition while supporting multi-step edits and style consistency.

Current state： Supports common image formats (up to 10MB) Processing time: ~10-45 seconds depending on complexity

Key features: Text-to-image fusion and multi-image blending Precise local editing via natural language Character style consistency across scenes Near real-time feedback for iterative edits

Challenges： Model hosting costs are significant, so optimization is key FAL.AI API can lag during peak times Balancing speed and quality for the best user experience

This platform is ideal for digital artists, graphic designers, social media operators, film/game concept designers, and e-commerce teams who need fast, consistent, and professional-grade image edits without complex workflows. The tech, built by the Stable Diffusion team, delivers impressive results. You can try the demo without signing up!

I don't accept that bicyclists are safe when they run red lights, cute name for the practice or not. Red light means stop until green.

The red-light-running bicyclist blows past the stopped traffic that just had to safely navigate getting around the bicyclist occupying a vehicular travel lane, only to be forced to do it all over again.

And here's my problem. Lives saved/taken is not the only dichotomy present, yet that is the one focused on my proponents for ebikes.

Injuries sustained is much more difficult to quantify yet it's the more interesting comparison. The article says the ratio is 120 to 1 of lives taken by cars vs ebikes. I think that is because a car accident is significantly more likely to kill the pedestrian rather than only injure them. I would be interested in reading how many pedestrians are injured at all by other people's ebikes vs other people's cars.

Right, so now we have moved to "well yeah, but you need to use LLM agents". Do you truly not see how you are actually continuing the trend of shifting the goalpost every time someone is critical about the use of LLMs? Critical about parts that just a few short months ago had the same promise you now moved to the use of agents?

Not to mention that with each iteration the amount of tokens needed goes up substantially. Having worked with LLM APIs and their pricing there simply is no way that Cursor is breaking even on that $20 or $40 per month if everyone uses it fully. Not even close. This very much hints at the costs being hidden right now, subsidized if you will, by VC money.

Also, once you have brought junior developers up to speed and guided them they are now slightly more capable developers who can more easily on board on future projects. With LLMs you need to effectively babysit them on each project again.

And there are a lot more caveats, prerequisites and moving targets involved that make the promise and reality for many people and companies not something they can actually be met.

And again, I am not discounting that there are specific areas where people see benefits from using LLMs in agentic from. But those areas are not as ubiquitous as the hype train leads us to believe. And to start using them you need to set up a lot more in the way of infrastructure and due process as well.

Plasma on Ubuntu is the what windows 7 could've been. It's been my daily for a couple years now, with jetbrains tooling and vscode. The only reason I boot back into windows is if I have to work on a .net framework app with visual studio. And Ubuntu is even explicitly supported by dell and Lenovo? It's a no brainer tbh. I'm lucky that my corporate IT is cool with it: I showed them how it supports drive encryption, can join our domain and run our patching software to meet all their 'policy'

I really don't follow this reasoning through.

Sure, e-bikes don't require a license but they are still operated by a person. The cases that are all listed are people over 18 who absolutely have forms of ID that they can present to the officer to establish where to send a fine to and who to collect it from if it goes unpaid.

It's literally just as strong as the court requirement. Like if they guy doesn't show up to court who are you going to arrest!?
by consp | 2025-06-03 13:32:04+00:00
It's also misleading as there is a natural penalty asymmetry. The penalty for crossing though red and getting hit by a car is death for any cyclist and a likely accident but very survivable for a car.

Around here the fines are equal in money but you can lose your license to drive a murder machine. (Sarcasm)

It might be worse if the allowed speeds around intersections and cultural preference to speed though red are higher. And by allowed speeds I mean natural speed through traffic calming.

"Why haven't we seen an explosion of new start-ups, products or features?"

You're posting this question on a forum hosted by YC. Here's a story from March 2024: "YC’s latest W24 batch includes 240 companies. A significant portion of the companies have some AI component, with 63% tagged as “Artificial Intelligence” — a notable increase from 51% in the preceding S23 batch and 29% before that.". https://jamesin.substack.com/p/analysis-of-ycs-latest-w24-ba...

I've not seen the same analysis for more recent batches.

It isn’t.

Arranging cards referring to each other does not become complex enough for “self awareness.”

Consciousness is the potential of existential being inflecting upon “itself.” Our biotechnology leverages this feedback loop to cling to our “continuity of existential being” which would be our identity and sense of self survival.

The substance of consciousness lies dormant in all things, and life is a technology which animates and extends this property.

Modern information and complexity theory have some bottlenecks. Entropy for instance is the distribution of potential over negative potential. Through constructive and destructive interference state boundaries are created. The number of states is created by (“emerges from”) potential (in whatever form) interfering with itself. Thus entropy is potential distribution not number of states available. States available can change through perturbation and decay. The universe is not “information” the universe is potential resolving into information (state) through entropy in the moment of now. [for instance]

Can we think slightly more broadly?

Targeting a stationary Tu-95 bomber with no protective measures in place is probably the easiest possible identification task for a drone.

A lot of kill/no-kill decisions are more subtle, or involve unknowns, possible nearby civilians, etc.

Or look at this crazy FPV piloting job. You think AI could do this? Pilot maneuvers through an absolute maze of anti-drone nets to hit a moving truck. (essentially SFW; video terminates slightly before impact)

https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1l2aqxp/ukra...

stressed, emotional, tired front-line private

Drone operators are generally not on the front lines, and sometimes they are literally on the other side of the world sitting in a cubicle. They are usually specialists of some sort, not untrained privates.

I'm not buying this. Bikers in bike lanes are not where I've felt threatened by bikes in NYC: they're in a dedicated lane and it's easy for me to check, cross, and get out of their way. Where I feel threatened by bikes is on narrow city streets with no bike lanes.

On narrow one-way roads with street parking, cars tend to go quite slowly and look out carefully for pedestrians coming out from between cars. At a stop sign you can check left and right, cross, and expect that cars will see you and stop even if they were for some reason planning on running the sign. It's even possible to safely jaywalk in most cases because the cars are going slowly enough that you can see them, judge their speeds, and cross before they reach you.

E-bikes as a rule do not behave that way on narrow roads. They will drive much faster than is safe (presumably because the road feels less narrow to them relatively) and end up outrunning their visibility and yours. I've never come close to being hit by a car in Brooklyn, but there have been numerous close calls with bikes, and they've all been on narrow roads with street parking where I was attempting to cross at a stop sign which the bike ran.

> it's a selfish use of resources

Probably worth noting at this point that the ultimate beneficiaries are people ordering food on various delivery services. In my experience, these overpowered bikes are almost exclusively used by delivery drivers.

I rarely order online (too much trash, too many hostile UX patterns of sneaking in fees disguised as "taxes" etc.), but when I do, I'd really prefer the delivery person would not risk their and others' lives running red lights all the way.

How do the science and math papers use characters that aren't in... ASCII? Maybe I need to look at an ASCII chart.

Out of curiosity, isn't UTF implementation much easier now than it has been? I piddle in writing things and I rarely contemplate UTF. Once I tried to reverse engineer an encryption plugin that used Asiatic characters as the ciphertext, and I wanted to use emoji, and that was when I learned I am too dumb to understand utf. But there's libiconv, which I first saw in production (ICQ or aim or Trillian or so) over 22 years ago, personally.

So is the latex thing obstinance, technical, or political?

Which also goes to show how backwards Linux package distribution is at this point.

If you’re a small company, you can either build a web app which works everywhere; or you can deal with a distribution pushing out a buggy 3-year-old release against your will, with users harassing you about bugs.

Packaging on Linux for normal desktop apps was dead on arrival. It was never viable except for niche open source apps. The resistance to this fact makes the failure of the Linux desktop somewhat self-inflicted.

I'm also in Brooklyn and this is also my experience, though its not just e-bikes, its also gas-powered mopeds. The 2-wheeled motor vehicles treat the sidewalks like a loophole for 1-way streets. A gas-powered moped even honked at me once for being in their way *on the sidewalk*.

I'm all for e-bikes. They're great. We need police to start giving a fuck and ticket people riding on the sidewalk. Even for the ones classified as bicycles, in NYC you're only legally allowed to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk if you are 12 years old or younger.

I played a bunch of Civ 1, but the newer ones are just too complicated for me. Like, at some point I tried Civ V (with the expansion pack) and there's just so much _stuff_. World Congress? Civics? Great Missionaries? How am I supposed to fit all of this together into a coherent strategy? I ended up mostly doing random stuff with many of the mechanics, which made the thing eventually not much fun, and I don't think I ended up completing a single game.

I think a lot of this is because the ui isn't right yet. The edits made are just not the right 'size' yet and the sandbox mechanisms haven't quite hit the right level of polish. I want something more akin to a PR to review, not a blow by blow edit. Similarly, I want it to move/remove/test/etc but in reversible ways. Basically, it should create a branch for every command and I review that. I think we have one or two fundamental UI/interaction piece left before this is 'solved'.

> I don't have hard data on this, but I think it's fair to say their generation's overall exposure to toxins was much greater.

Just another day my parents were annoyed remembering that the "big, bad government" banned a popular medicine from my grandfather's time. One that people used on cuts all the time.

Turns out the medicine was lead acetate.

No, LLMs don't learn - each new conversation effectively clears the slate and resets them to their original state.

If you know what you're doing you can still "teach" them though, but it's on you to do that - you need to keep on iterating on things like the system prompt you are using and the context you feed in to the model.

> Wekan, which does run admirably well on Sandstorm, pulls an entire Mongodb instance into each grain.

There is only MongoDB raw database files at each WeKan grain, similar to SQLite. MongoDB 3 server version is same for every grain.

In progress is adding SQLite support to WeKan.

Using Caddy 2 at front, I host Sandstorm, many WeKan Snap and RocketChat at same server. Sandstorm has many websites, etc software in use. At Sandstorm, only those grains are running and use RAM where is logged in user, this is much more efficient that Docker or Snap where container is running all the time.

I didn't upload the text; I was trying to see what happened if one asked a question about a specific book, as if I was someone trying to do an essay in a hurry. I know the text quite well so could easily spot the hallucinated answers but someone with less knowledge might have been fooled. The experience reconvinced me not to rely on this specific LLM for help with my essays.

> They're fixated on cyclists running red lights and stop signs, not distinguishing between different kinds of bikes

Absolutely agree this is silly and cities should be encouraging cycling.

> We want to encourage people to bike less and drive more

assuming you meant to flip this?

An e-bike that can even do 20mph comfortably is much closer to a moped than a bicycle, partly due to weight, and partly due to "ease of speed". Obviously a person can easily cycle 20mph, but it just isn't the kind of thing you do on in a crowded area. Very different when it is just a throttle. So grouping them in with bikes, rather than mopeds or similar, is just extremely silly

Well, these restrictions are a joke, like a gate without a fence blocking path - purely decorative.

Here's another "jailbreak": I asked Claude Code to make a NN training script, say, `train.py` and allowed it to run the script to debug it, basically.

As it noticed that some libraries it wanted to use were missing, it just added `pip install` commands to the script. So yeah, if you give Claude an ability to execute anything, it might easily get an ability to execute everything it wants to.

The deprecation of third-party cookies, that all browsers were at one point on track to implement, was pretty much the most realistic first step to that. Which is why Google killed it last year by leveraging their control over Chrome.

While not technically a crime, it was a disgusting, unethical market manipulation move that never really got the public outrage it deserved.

Google execs’ initial support for it was also telling: leadership at Google must literally thought they would find another way to stay as profitable as they are without third-party cookies. Put another way: Google leadership didn’t understand cookies as well as someone who’s taken a single undergrad web dev class. (Or they were lying all along, and always planned to “renege” on third-party cookie deprecation.)

I mean, context changing how we see art seems natural enough. Would anyone care about analyzing this painting[1] if wasn't created by Hitler? Would anyone care about this child's drawings[2] if it wasn't 800 years old? Would people care about a stained glass depiction of the Crucifixion of Jesus if it wasn't a central event in Christianity?

Personally, I think in a lot of cases, people want to feel some sort of emotional connection with the artist through their creation, which doesn't work if you know it's AI created.

This is running a red light. If a car stops first then proceeds through on red it would be a red light violation. That's why it's a light not a stop sign. I don't care what special lanes are present. You're running the intersection and increasing the complexity for everyone else who is obeying their green light.

The only vehicles that get to blow red lights are emergency vehicles with lights and sirens. Everyone else should be waiting their turns, including pedestrians and bicycles. And, maybe, rights on red (but not in NYC you'll note).
