Show HN: Non-AI created illustrations, crafted by human imagination
Hi Hacker News community!
I'm thrilled to introduce my wife, Diana, the creative mastermind behind absurd.design. As a team, we offer hand-drawn illustrations to project makers who appreciate free-spirited and quirky aesthetics.

In a time where technology is transforming artwork, Diana strongly believes that the love and emotion a human artist puts into their work cannot be replaced by anything else. That's why absurd.design illustrations are carefully crafted with love and dedication, designed to speak to the emotions of humans like you.

We're excited to share our latest project with you - Chapter 5. This collection features 30 hand-drawn illustrations that tell stories about everyday thoughts and emotions. We invite you to explore their expressive strokes and ignite your creativity.

If you resonate with Diana's work and want to add a touch of quirky aesthetics to your digital projects, we invite you to join our universe of absurd.design. We love sharing our newest works with project members and receiving feedback from the community.

Have you used absurd.design illustrations in your projects before? What led you to choose our platform? We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks for reading!
When does Elon realize he doesn't write code himself and fire himself?
Adding extra transpilation step doesn't sound like a great solution.

It also doesn't support inlined assertions, referring to existing classes, custom validations, opaque types etc.
This used to be defined as being “well rounded”, or having general knowledge.
The positive news is that if Google search dies, so will the SEO websites and content farms that litter the web.
I use https://hoppscotch.io/ as a replacement for postman

I have been trying to find and join some community of things that interest me. However I am not an expert on any of those things that interest me.

I have attempted several times to join into Discord, forums, subreddits, etc...

From all of those places and over the paper, Discord which is informal chatting should be the one I probably should feel more comfortable with. However, it is not the case. I always feel like an outsider.

This is completely irrelevant to the no back-up search problem here. But I struggle to understand in which case Discord would make for a good community place.
They have to prove its authorized and they have 30 days to do it per Reg E. For fraud like this, they have to get you to say "i shared my password with someone". This is literally in the reg e law. You have a duty to notify you bank in a certain period of time(60 days). Bank is under very different rules than paypal or crypto exchange.

Using domain names as handles seems like a great idea... for those whose names are easily represented by Latin-1.

Does this mean that either homograph attacks or punycode are going to make it into Bluesky? Or is this another protocol that's built around English and nothing else?
A fair point.

What would you say of requiring training data and hyperparameter archiving for subsequent legal review?
I replaced a Hoover dishwasher with a Bosch Serie 8 and there's a huge difference, the Bosch is so much better!

You must be using gpt-3.5-turbo, try it with text-davinci-003. They did... something to 3.5 beyond just RLHF and it's somewhat lobotomized now or strongly biased towards producing canned output for prompts that aren't middle of the road.
> to restructure a company that big

That's the problem. Momentum and more importantly - momentum in the big ass company notorious for it's bureaucracy, red tape and cultural[0] policy of doing nothing above the needed yet jealously protecting own domain from anyone.

> Everyone could see it

You are forgetting what if Nokia pivoted to Android in Feb 2011, than the first usable, mass produced yet first one for the company unit (ie: with all bugs, errors a first thing in the line you can encounter) would be at Q4 2012 at the very, very best. More sane estimate (considering their total unfamiliarity with the platform and, again, cultural nuances) would say somewhere in Q1-Q2 2013. There it would then compete with the already established market of Android (Moto RAZR would be 1y+ old) and iPhone 5.

Even if they somehow managed to do it in less than a year (like a fairy godmother came and magically did everything for them, including production and shipping) then they would needed to compete with iPhone 4S, which as we know was extremely popular and people held them for years.

No fucking way they could do anything to stay afloat. That is why I say what would be bankrupt by 2013. You may don't like Elop and his actions as much as you want, but there is zero chances they could do anything themselves.

Oh, one more thing. Sure in 2009 Nokia had the money. By 2011 creditors lowered N. rating (reflected in the memo), which means what by 2012 they would have no spare money aka cash. And you probably forgetting what Nokia had a ridiculous amount of employees (which clearly seen by how many were let go by 2013-2014). You need many, many monies to support that amount of people and you can't tell them to fuck off like in the US with the at-will employment, you need to provide the severance and pension funds for everyone. Without money the only thing you can do is to close the doors and file for bankruptcy. If you want to continue your business - you need first to pay out the social responsibilities. And that costs money. And guess who not only had the money but was willing to pour them into Nokia?

[0] Literally. I've read the 'memoirs' of the guy who worked there before and while. I had a friend working in Finland some time later. The stories she told about passiveness, lack of enthusiasm, always trying to evade the responsibility - just confirmed me the things what I knew at that time, and no amount of naked sauna helps. Hell, they didn't even had the guts to fire her, instead making macabre dances to force her to quit. Which, after a more than half of year of doing literally nothing (their way to get her out), she gladly did and went to MS.

Funny enough, she is at Google now and some shit what is happening there directly resembles what was happening almost decade ago in Finland.
Ah, I see. Thanks.

In terms of doctors, I think there is a counterbalancing effect of sorts, whereby some administration can be digitised and communication is more efficient, but it probably doesn't make up for the lack of additional candidates.
What is more disappointing to me is the amount of general unpleasant comments under this tweet. I know there will be a bias in that this will be mostly those that follow him but even still, it doesn't give me much hope.

I don't know enough about zoning laws to have a strong stance on this matter.

It seems like to me that the people who purchase homes specifically to run an AirBnB business seems to espouse "f@#! you, I got mine" attitude which is super contagious and toxic.

I used to consult on JIRA a while back.

These complaints seem like they have a couple of potential causes.

One very common load time issue is downloading too much data at once, especially on boards. I understand some work has been done to make this better, but you may get some relief by creating new boards with very limited number of issues on it - you want the board's primary filter to be specific (eg a board just for stuff assigned to you, rather than for everything asssigned to your team).

The weird subviews tend to be configurable, and Atlassian has been moving more and more towards defaults (and locking down those defaults) for these configurations that push a specific persona/way of working. I'm sure they have data that supports those choices, and there is strong selection bias going on here, but almost all the consulting I did was trying to figure out how to work around those defaults (the simple ones you can just change!)

Probably, a lot of those issues could be fixed by your administrator - you may even have permission to fix them yourself, though that process can still be quite cumbersome and labyrinthine.

So many complaints about JIRA come down to complaints about how it's configured. Atlassian knows this, and I think they are trying to make it better, but it's a hard problem. I enjoy the endless customisation available as an admin but it takes time and effort to understand what's possible, more time and effort to design those changes, and the most time and effort to make those changes match what the teams need. It's a hard problem to fix.

Sometimes people, frustrated by this big bohemoth, will pick an opinionated tool that matches their way of working. This works great for as long as that tool keeps focused and the needs of the team don't grow.

I generally prefer Zod but in cases where I for one reason or another have to rely on JSON Schema, I use this package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/as-typed which infers TS types directly from a such. No extra build steps required. I then use AJV for runtime validation.
On a global scale, it helps if your country is where all the biggest companies are coming from, especially to compete with big companies from other countries.
"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

There is nothing scarier than to think that next word predictor can be sentient, because it means we are just next word predictors, and all our pain and suffering is beyond meaningless.

In the same time I think there are definitions for AGI that can fuel exponential development in all important fields (from protein folding to medicine to enegry and etc), and this can just as well be a transformer large enough that has reasoning.
Japan also has a weirdly deflationary housing market because of some financing and cultural quirks. I.e. homes begin depreciating as soon as you buy them.
It's heartening to see a team that still values the human touch and the emotions that go into artwork, despite technology's advancements. As someone who appreciates unique and personalized illustrations, I'm looking forward to exploring absurd.design's latest collection of expressive strokes.
From my own experiments[1], I suspect your engine might still be prone to exponential blowup: you only get proper linear matching if you reassociate and sort the choice expressions and merge identical terms (and Brzozowski’s original paper[2] does point this out). This makes the implementation quite a bit more annoying.

ETA: Yup. Try (successfully) matching a long string of As against (A*)* and watch it die.

Thank you for the kind comments and taking the time to respond.

I'm just trying to get into house plants too, I hear there's an automatic water dispenser for plants, I'm hoping it makes it easier to care for them.

Golden statement: "Online social maintenance is overwhelming", I've never heard it put that way before. I'm guessing my 80 year old father didn't have it as difficult as I do now, he does use Whatsapp a lot now though :)

I guess being close to a smaller number of people and knowing what's going on in their lives, leads to more peace than being vaguely connected with a large number of people.

Thanks again!
The latency of the combination of parallel systems is equal to the slowest component. And obviously, specialized tools will be faster than a component of a multi-tool system cause while dedicated engines can invest in optimizing specific functionality, multi-tool engines are stuck in the integration hell.

A solution assembled for a specific task from highly specialized components will always be more optimal than 'one-size-fits-all' pipelines. Meilisearch solves search-as-you-type better than anyone else, so why compromise? Not to mention that the scalability pattern of BM25 and vector search is entirely different.

This, by the way, is pretty obvious from the fact that you don't publish comparative benchmarks.
Sadly neither of these are allowed to sell in India. It's an Amazon/Flipkart duopoly and I personally cannot stand the Flipkart shopping interface. Millions love it.
V is progressing well, but in beta. It has to maintain its momentum and focus, without getting derailed, and deliver a polished useable 1.0 release.

> ...memory safety through its “autofree” memory feature

V has different memory management options, which can be turned off and the libraries don't depend on them. GC (default and optional), autofree, arena allocator (prealloc), or manual. This is mentioned in the documentation (https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md). It has numerous safety features, as part of its design, and coupled with the GC (default) or autofree, would provide significant memory safety.
I believe misery for Atlassian products were mostly self inflicted by companies that insisted on having it on-perm and then not giving a damn about upgrades and not giving a damn about resources to maintain it.

I work with JIRA cloud for 8 years now and while there are hiccups it just works.
Nice bit of FUD you got there.

You can use Google Search and be 100% compliant, because Google doesn't see any customer data. Google chrome isn't even a service, I can't imagine how you'd manage to stick customer data in there.

And if you think there are no companies without AWS and Microsoft 360, you need to expand your horizon. I work for one such company, and so do many of my peers.
Why keep paying them?
But how does this overlap with federated platforms? Then you can still balkanize into tiny groups but federate among compatible groups to rebuild larger networks bottom-up (I like to draw a comparison to how multicellular organisms are composed of many discrete cells). And if you don't federate with hosts that serve businesses, you can fly way under the radar (Pleroma even has built-in onion routing support IIRC).
Mysmmai is your personal AI assistant for Social Media Marketing. It generates engaging posts, stories, and reels for your accounts using smart AI algorithms. Plus, it figures out the best hashtags and captions to use for maximum exposure.
You can easily schedule your posts and manage your content calendar from the app, saving you time and hassle.
It's perfect for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and startups who want to grow their social media following and get more leads.
This is very much a framing issue and trying to apply physical interpretations on non-physical things.

> Digital analogy: to "unsend" an e-mail, you'd have to break into my computer / mail server and delete it there.

They're not on your computer or mail server though. They're on discords servers, which grant you permission to view them upon you providing credentials to prove you're allowed to see them. Removing the message is removing your access to content I have authored and previously granted.

It wouldn't be weird for me to remove a blog or mastadon post of my own, yet those are very clearly one to many communications. If I hosted a page and gave you login details which I later rescinded, that wouldn't seem odd would it?

None of these are conceptually all that different though. I write a thing and let you read it. I later don't want you to allow you to read it any more. Having granted access once, must that always translate to permanent irrevocable permission? That seems like an extreme position - the most obvious place that comes up is with mistakes. I mistakenly "send" a message to you intended for my wife. Do you have a permanent and fundamental right to it? If you've not even seen a notification that it's arrived, is it encroaching on your personal space for you to not be able to read a message I don't want you to read?
We will at one point know more about the Roman Empire than the World Wide Web 1994-1998, and it doesn't seem right. Huge chunks of cultural output that would be gold for future historians just... lost.
This is something I've become fairly passionate about lately.

Any time I see some regex, I start asking probing questions about the nature of the underlying abstraction.

Being able to deterministically convert something into an AST is the ultimate test of that thing's stability at any scale.

It handles human grammar by averaging and assuming contexts so you can't really fix one side without hurting the other. Humans separates grammar from facts, but these language models don't, to them grammar and facts are the same thing so you can't just tell it to stop lying without it stopping to do all the grammar tricks we expect from it.
I do. Hence why my discord persona is essentially made up and used as a marketing tool for my artsy hobbies, same way as my instagram profile is carefully curated to be something I'm not.
Which is why my bank requires further authorisation beyond a simple password when withdrawing or transferring large amounts.
Looks like the language search in GitHub only finds users where the majority of their repos are in a given language. If your repos are a mix of different languages then you won't appear in the search results it seems.

Bridled, so that it doesn’t suffer the problems Dijkstra spoke of? Wouldn’t you say they both already are in modern languages?
I think any LLM could be trained to make profiles from the HN posts and submissions of each user, don't you agree?
WordPress: Static vs. dynamic blocks: What’s the difference?
The WordPress Block Editor offers two types of blocks: static and dynamic. The difference between these two types of blocks comes down to how they are rendered on the front-end.
That sounds like it's a time when it's the responsibility of the manager to start communicating clearly with their colleague, rather than thinking they need to figure everything out just by looking at the situation from the outside.

Treat your employees/subordinates/colleagues like they're responsible adults, and they're more likely to act like it. That means, among other things, talking to them when you notice something that seems off, rather than just thinking it's your job as the Big Important Manager to solve all problems in your own head.

Treat them like they're bad children, or like they're all constantly looking for every way possible to get more money for less work, and you're more likely to get disinterested, frustrated, and rebellious employees. There's nothing more likely to make someone act like a child than treating them like one.

I do hate most features everyone else loves.

Some I would be neutral on and have no problem with if they weren't just candy coating to deliver lock-in and data collection.
>What's next, ads on banking apps?

Those definitely exist if you count ads from the bank itself (eg. upsells)
Ah, that explains something I have been confused by for a while now without really understanding why.

I'm learning German, and one of the apps I'm using is Clozemaster, where a sentence is missing a word and I have to fill in the gap. The easy mode is to choose from a list of four, the hard mode is to type in the word. Easy mode I can do fairly reliably without even fully reading the sentences, hard mode I struggle with — while the latter is partly because it only accepts one single specific word (so if the sentence would be valid with another word, e.g. weiß/blau/gold/schwarz, keine Punkte für mich if I pick the wrong correct answer), that alone didn't feel sufficient given the subjective experience of the difference between them.

I think, from what you've said, in the easy mode I'm probably picking up on things that aren't as useful as I need.
I miss AltaVista, too.
But the article is about ads not about the position on a page on Amazon or in Amazon search results.
Can you (or Diana) tell us more about the stories behind the illustrations in this collection?
A ten second load time is about 100x worse than it should be.

Exaggerating it to several minutes is less egregious by an order of magnitude.
Hmm, isn't this equivalent to finding out: Almost anything _unshielded_ and exposed to radiation will will become poisonous ?
This matches my experience.

3 hours? Mines has up to 90 min, and I always use the 30min program which is enough.
Having a large family of my own and sometimes hosting get-togethers I can not agree with your sentiment. I would not buy a dishwasher for 1% of my use-cases that otherwise wastes lot's of resources (presumably being much to large for everyday usage). Our standard eco program runs for ~3h minimizing water, electricity and chemical usage.

On the other hand I would be totally fine to buy another set of dishes for said occasions.
It keeps the code closer to the left. It also keeps it conceptually simpler if you can discard a bunch of "obvious" cases early on.
I’m sure the lawyers are already salivating at the class-action suit as this proves they weren’t properly protected from the space bees.
I believe that JSON Schema is a great solution because it is a standardized format and provides helpful error messages for validation issues. If the schema file is well-defined, it should be safe to map the JSON data to a static type DTO and trust that the data types are valid. JSON Schema's ability to validate strings, numbers, integers, and custom objects makes it a powerful tool, and I personally wouldn't want to attempt to implement something similar on my own.
Mentioned it before, but I think that to a lot of his fans Musk has become a sort of L Ron Hubbard figure; they see him as literally infallible, so they shoulder through the cognitive dissonance and go along with this stuff. If Dear Leader says it, it must be so.

It’s pretty remarkable, really. Even the Jobs people were able to acknowledge that Apple was not perfect, generally.
Classic or V2? Because the latter feels half baked to me.
I haven't put much thought in this, but is a Frankfurt data center provided by Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL (a Luxembourg-based company) considered a US cloud provider or a EU one? I mean, being wholly owned by a foreign owner doesn't generally change your jurisdiction, and employees of that wholly owned subsidiary (including its directors) are not required to obey USA laws or court orders but are required to comply with EU legislation.
