Show HN: Painting Droid – Open-Source Painting App with AI
Hey HN, I'm happy to share my new project, Painting Droid. As the name suggests, it's similar to MS Paint but is open source and runs in the browser, as well as a lightweight desktop app (using Tauri) on Windows/Mac and Linux. The project is only 3 months old, but it's getting more and more features:

- AI Model Integration: Support for cloud models (OpenAI/Stability.ai), on-device, and self-hosted AI models (Stable Diffusion), and more is coming.

- Workspaces: Manage multiple workspaces simultaneously

- Layers: Multi-layer support for each workspace

- Painting Tools: Brush, Pencil, Fill, Erase, and Shape tools

- Canvas Operations: Resize, Crop, and AI-powered Smart Crop

- Adjustments: Sepia and Grayscale filters

- Import and Export: Workspaces, PNG, and JPG file formats

Thank you for the constructive criticism; it is greatly appreciated.

> Yes, we cannot learn anything about reality from language alone. This is 'the intentional illusion' or you could call it 'the aboutness illusion'.

I just don't think this is correct. Language is embedded in reality, is a product of reality, and is correlated with reality.

> As in you think you are learning a speed limit for a road by looking at a sign with a speed limit on it. But the sign itself is just some shapes, and no aspect of its structure has anything to do with speed, roads, or speed limits.

Again, simply wrong. 5km/h limit, 60km/h limit, 120km/h limit - even the physical width of the text has a correlation to the exponent of the speed limit! Which will correlate to the curvature of the road! These are not arbitrary, they're tightly interlinked on every level except the specific shape of the glyphs themselves. That's why your argument only holds up for the most basic features such as glyph frequency. As you zoom out, structural similarities begin to appear; not in the shape of the text but in the shape of features abstracted from the text. That's why LLMs attain novel capabilities as you increase depth and context size, as they can begin to condition on the deeper structures of reality that leak through the language. As language is abstracted from reality, at sufficient scale, a cognition based on language begins to necessarily model reality itself.

> You first act within the world by building a rich conceptual understanding, you then associate arbitrary conventions with this understanding, and then can make inferences about this world by reconstructing a novel conceptual understanding given by these signs.

Completely unclear if this is true at any rate. Humans don't first learn to interact with the world and then learn language; language and world-understanding co-develop.

I disagree with the process. You cannot ask an AI anything and expect to get authoritative answers; I'm not going to do your job for you and fact-check an LLM's opinion.

Basically just use virtual environments via the venv module. The only thing you really need to know is that Python doesn't support having multiple versions of a package installed in the same environment. That means you need to get very familiar with creating (and destroying) environments. You don't need to know any of this if you just use tools that happen to be written in Python. But if you plan to write Python code then you do. It should be in Python books really, but they tend to skip over the boring stuff.

This iMac is the 21" model, they have a smaller PSU and cooling, so the most powerful chip you can install is the i7-860s (82W CPU). I paid $25 from aliexpress.

If you have the 27" iMac you can install the i7-860 (without s) that is a 95W CPU and can boost to higher clock speeds. This is also a more common chip so likely cheaper than the i7-860s.

Both chips should boost the default max of 16GB RAM to 32GB RAM.

The irony.
Listen to people describe extremely complex social systems and problems (poverty, war, etc) and how to fix them. They appear simple because people are describing their cognitive representation of them (which is derived from
simplistic, incorrect representations broadcast on the media), rather than the things themselves.

The problem exists at both the individual and the collective level. It's a big problem.
You guys dress poorly too.
It is impossible to turn off instruction pipelining.

Having them buy a license would probably work. You could also have this stuff specified in your contract with your employer.

Realistically, businesses will either shrug and be fine with you using Adobe stuff, or they'll find someone else (who still uses Photoshop, but doesn't know or warn about this stuff). I doubt the person hiring artists knows or cares about this stuff until an actual leak takes place.

You ask very good questions.

> Wouldn’t these black holes radiate some Hawking radiation, making them potentially detectable?

Yes, according to widely accepted theory, they do. However, Hawking radiation is incredibly weak. With current technology, we are not able to detect such a faint signal.

> And how long would they exist for?

This depends on the size of the black hole. They will last much longer than our solar system, many billions of years, until they eventually evaporate.

> Also, what keeps these black holes from interacting with normal matter and clumping in the center of galaxies?

They do interact with normal matter via gravitation. If primordial black holes exist, many of them would fall into the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy and other galaxies. However, there are also those that orbit around the center. The problem is that our telescopes currently cannot detect a tennis ball-sized black object with the mass of a few Earths, it is an incredible tiny black dot in front of a black background. Hence, they are literally dark matter.
I wrote a simple library to reduce latency in voice generations from LLM chat completion streams.

This lets you generate voices from streams of text from local LLMs, such as Ollama and local TTS clients, such as Apple Say along with external clients such as Google Text-to-Speech with the same speed as privately created assistants such as OpenAI.

As each sentence end is detected, it will run TTS on it and play it out loud while the rest of the completion is being generated in the background.

When it comes to speedrunning: Some speedrunners do, though, to ensure their speedrun tech are reproducible on both emulators and real hardware.
The measurements aloft constrain the entire system - things like vertical profiles of moisture and temperature, as well as the kinematic structure of the atmosphere (e.g. wind profiles) grossly constrain the evolution of the system. Put another way - the _information density_ of these observations is very high and they tend to constrain non-local features of the flow / structure of the atmosphere.

Observations for the surface don't have this effect for two reasons: (1) they can be dominated by local influences (like local topography) that poorly constrain the background atmospheric state, and (2) the majority of numerical weather models do not directly model the planetary boundary layer (the layer of the atmosphere closest to the ground), and instead parameterize processes that occur here. What this means, practically, is that the information content of surface observations is low (1), and even when it isn't, there isn't a mechanism to effectively propagate this information outside of a single grid cell or even column in the actual forecast model (2).

That's why observations are typically used to bias-correct forecast models - it's a form of localization or downscaling.
The same goes with human TAs that are extensively used in undergrad introductory programming classes. They can also be unreliable in many cases.

1. Provide students with the tools and knowledge to critically verify responses, either coming from an educator or a an AI agent.
2. Build more transparent AI agents that show how reliable they are on different types of queries. Our deployment showed that the Help Fix Code was less reliable, while other features were significantly better.

But totally agree that we should be discussing the ethical implications much more.

I'm my own CA; SSH certificates don't usually use X509 certificate chains. I dump a public key and a config file in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/ to trust the CA, which I find easier to automate than installing a list of keys in /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys.

I started using this when I got a new laptop and kept running into VMs and containers that I couldn't log into (I have password auth disabled). Same for some quick SSH sessions from my phone. Now, every time I need to log in from a new key/profile/device, I enroll one certificate (which is really just an id_ecdsa-cert.pub file next to id_ecdsa.pub) and instantly get access to all of my servers.

I also have a small VM with a long-lasting certificate that's configured to require username+password+TOTP, in case I ever lose access to all of my key files for some reason.
