> How relevant is print these days?

Still quite relevant, especially in some areas. Think about packaging and labeling, there's just not really a way around print in these areas.

Besides that, digital print is the future. Print also needs to become clever and data-driven, more personalized and tailored to the recipient, but that's hard work.

Example: Just last week I received a catalogue with the fall/winter collection of a larger clothing brand. I threw it away immediately. Lots of things in it that are not my size, or my style or whatnot. A personalized product would have helped. Pick articles similar to those I own (you got this data from my previous orders), only show articles that are available in XXL or larger (look at the sizes I kept and did not return) and that's it. "Hey Martin, these are _your_ pieces for the winter season, enjoy!" Maybe it's only 16 pages then instead of 50+ but it would have been a much better experience for me. Also cheaper to print and ship for the store but with a much higher value. But yeah, programmatic printing is hard(er) to do then order 100k catalogues from the cheapest shop you'll find.

Ask HN: Is there a site to create Ads automatically?
I've been wondering if there's such a site that can create Ads on Google, Meta, TikTok right after the user uploads a doc with info about the campaign or client, maybe even integrated with LLMs. I recently discovered it's possible, but haven't seen any product so far.

Why do you think it's not intentional? I just replied on my phone in the elevator while going home. The other device is home laptop I share with wife. Don't need opsec in my living room :)

Let's get real.

This startup wasn't some Silicon Valley dream. It was messy, painful, and born from my mom constantly asking, "What if we moved this couch?"

I'm not a design guru. I'm just a guy with a full-time job, a new marriage, and zero patience for endless Pinterest scrolling. When my mom kept redesigning her living room, something clicked.

Inspired by a viral Twitter thread claiming you could "build a startup in 60 minutes," I dove headfirst into creating Styly.io. The guy had 50k followers and made it sound so simple. "Just use these no-code tools," he said. "AI is easy," he promised. Spoiler: They're full of sh*t.

Reality hit hard.

The first version of Styly.io? A complete disaster.

I burned through $15,000 of my savings. Hired a seasonal developer who disappeared mid-project. Spent countless sleepless nights coding after my full-time job. My honeymoon? Forget about it. I was debugging and designing.

The low points were brutal:

- Depression crept in

- My wife watched me spiral

- The "simple" AI tool became a complex nightmare

- Every feature seemed to require another $500 to $1,000 investment

But something unexpected happened.

We hit 5,000 users. Not through fancy marketing, but through pure, stubborn determination.

Lessons learned:

Building an AI startup is NOT a 60-minute job

Technical complexity is real

Sustainable development takes time and money

Never trust viral Twitter "experts"

My mom? She became our first and most brutal tester. "This looks terrible," became her catchphrase. And she was right, most of the time.

What saved me?

- Genuine user feedback

- Persistence

- My mom's continuous support (ironically, the project's original inspiration)

Today, Styly.io is going 0 to 0. But the cost wasn't just monetary - it was personal. I am not sure how many months- years I need to get back this on my bank account but your support can be appreciated=)

To anyone thinking of building a startup:

- It's going to be harder than you think
- You'll question everything
- Your relationships will be tested
- But if you're stubborn enough, you might just make it

pleaasseeeeeeeee, think deeply. it is a complete business not jus a website.

I'm not here to sell you anything. I'm here to say: It's okay to struggle. It's okay to fail. Just keep learning.

Who else is fighting their own startup battle?

Regarding data privacy, but from a different angle, here you are not getting the consent from the actual person receiving the letter, you are getting the consent from someone else, does that allow you to use their information when the consent is not coming from the affected party?

The main website (https://www.myphotos.site) was built my co-founder Or using Webflow. He's a real pro when it comes to websites - see more of his work here https://gambit.design/

The user galleries and the editor dashboard are built using Next.js, Typescript, Tailwind, and Vercel. For the masonry, we first tried a few libraries (such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-masonry-css) but ended up writing our own because all the libraries we tried didn't handle proper column-height distribution.

All of those examples are at best pharmacies with compounding capabilities and/or sterile fill capability.

They aren't manufacturing any medicines in those pharmacies. They are buying final product and then preparing it for administration.

GLP and GMP certified don't mean they are manufacturing. GLP are lab best practices and GMP is manufacturing, but it covers a lot of ground, so a basic pharmacy can be GMP and all they do is prepare sterile product.
In other words, it wouldn't be superior according to the way I understand it. Learning curve, existing libraries and solutions all matter in this comparison..

For me it'd have to interact seamlessly with other languages and enable incremental adoption, otherwise you can't swap one with another.

But you can swap a floppy disk with USB flash drive if the PC has an USB port, so that's what I mean by superior..
So you're mad about a fictional story about a theonomoic state where women are raped constantly? Meanwhile there are plenty of Christians in America that still believe that wives cannot be raped by their husbands, something that was legal only 50 years ago. Not to mention the rape perpetrated by Christians on their slaves in America.
Out of curiosity, how does the extension ensure accuracy in finding direct links? Does it rely on a specific database or match listings dynamically?
Excited to see where this goes—great work!
I don't think anyone working in print would use Gimp, though?

I don't think it's a scam, all rules (including creator cut) seem clear from the start. People know what they're in for, they're not being tricked in any way.

Unless as you say the creator wins the pot themselves
>> It very much depends on where you plan to live and work. Work opportunities are not evenly distributed.

This, a million times, and is often overlooked.

In fact, I would say that you should try working it out backwards. Find the place where you will really enjoy to live and find the best possible work you can do aligned with or leveraging your current skills with decent prospects for future growth.

Twice in my career, I found work that was interesting but in places where I didn't like to live. And living well is way more important than working!!!

I use Gimp from time to time, and often get frustrated with its... unique UI. It's nice to see they're hearing feedback and working on it :D

A tip for others that feel the same: if you've used Photoshop before and are used to its UI, try the free Photopea website. It's a Photoshop "clone" that works really well in web (I believe it's a solo dev doing it too). It's replaced Gimp for me lately.
I read that as "(an advertisement of a person) or (a group's promotion)".

From what I've heard surrounding this, GTK3 to GTK4 isn't as big of a jump as GTK2 to GTK3 was. The GTK3 port was finished first because there was already work in place for that, but we can expect a GTK4 port to be faster.
That said, I haven't seen many apps that aren't specifically GNOME apps start using GTK4 in the first place, and as such I'm currently not using any GTK4 applications. I expect it to take a while before more things move to GTK4.
Does this change include any UX improvements? The article only mentions updated visuals and theming. From the discussions I've read, it's the UX of GIMP that holds it back.
GTK4 removed a bunch of APIs for stupid reasons and GIMPs move to 3 started before 4 even existed. Had 4 at least tried to maintain some degree of compatibility then switching from 3 to 4 near the end would have been feasible. But that's not the case.

If you aren't Gnome, GTK is not for you.
An actual "inside job"? Or just some cybercrime group, that's gotten inside Amazon's network, and is making real-time use of the data?

In the US, DL works as an ID for almost anything other than voting in an election. You can fly to almost any US territory with that plastic card. And it is state-provided ID -- nobody questions that.

And we are talking about 300M people here, which is about 4 times the population for Germany.

If they hate US residents they should declare that clearly on their website, not wasting customers' (and their own) time.
Let's kill the old people then so we don't distort the market.
I’ve seen many people make comparisons between these things and the social media ban, but I actually think they’re quite poor comparisons.

The main concern is around enforcement, which is still TBD for this ban. I assume you mean illicit drugs which are banned for everyone so I’ll skip that as it’s not relevant. For sex/marriage, these are basically not enforced until people notice or they cause a problem so again are not relevant. Driving is an interesting one but I’ll come back to it. The closest comparison here is alcohol and tobacco.

For alcohol and tobacco sales the rule of thumb staff are trained on in Australia is if the customer looks younger than 25 they ask for ID. The customer present their ID, the cashier visually checks the DoB, and the sale goes through. This does not affect the majority of Australians who either do not smoke or drink, or look old enough that no ID check is done. Enforcement for a social media ban would be onerous on all Australians who use social media (I don’t have numbers but I’m sure it’s more more than (smokers ∪ drinkers)) plus the scope for potential abuse or infringement of rights is far greater. Compare this to social media. How would such a ban be enforced? The kids are not stupid, they will find a way around whatever the enforcement mechanism is. So either the enforcement will be a) trivially circumventable to the point where the legislation is completely useless for its ostensible purpose, or b) devolve into an endless cat-and-mouse game trampling Australians’ rights every step of the way. Depending on how eager the Aus gov is to enforce this it could easily extend to VPN bans, destruction of anonymity online, and yet more means to eliminate free speech. These things are all extremely important for a functional society where people, especially vulnerable and marginalised people, can speak up without fear of retaliation. A cashier checking your ID at the shop is nowhere near the top of a slope as steep, nor slippery as this.

Driving is a really interesting comparison here actually. I’m not sure I would be opposed to a social media license. In the same way the purpose of a license is to ensure that road users can do so in a safe manner, maybe something similarly focused on education would be more helpful here than a ban. I’ve actually long blamed a kind of tragedy of the commons for the sorry state of the modern internet. Most users are simply not savvy enough to know better than to use it in all but the dumbest ways, fall for the dumbest scams, and basically allow themselves to be corralled like cattle into the sterile advertiser-friendly pens big tech companies have constructed for them. So in anger I’ve sometime said we should only allow licensed users online. Anyway that’s a bit off topic but a social media license is an interesting concept.
Good Article, Excerpts;

James claimed that the best educated mind has the largest stock of ideas and concepts “ready to meet the largest possible variety of the emergencies of life.”

Pragmatism was a method for making decisions, testing beliefs, settling arguments. In a world of chance and incomplete information, James insisted that truth was elusive but action mandatory. The answer: Make a decision and see if it works. Try a belief and see if your life improves. Don’t depend on logic and reason alone, add in experience and results. Shun ideology and abstraction. Take a chance. “Truth happens to an idea. It becomes true, is made true by events.”

Of course, some philosophers were skeptical of pragmatism. Truth becomes whatever is useful, whatever has cash value. Bertrand Russell was terrified that pragmatism would dethrone the ideal of objective truth, calling it “a form of the subjective madness which is characteristic of most modern philosophy.” Pragmatism to these skeptics encourages relativism and subjectivity and leads to irrationalism.

Pragmatism is the enemy of certainty, simplification, and fanaticism. It champions skepticism, experimentation, and tolerance.

If, for an individual, faith leads to peace and security, banishes loneliness, increases endurance, and improves behavior, it can be said to be true for that individual. In all areas of life, we are acting on insufficient evidence. If religion increased happiness, encouraged ethical behavior, and offered eternal life, why not gamble?

“How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all time the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.”
Something similar that I once created was https://spread-the.love which is a service that sends a random person somewhere on the planet a positive SMS.

I unfortunately cover to cover read and engaged with these authors far too much in my competitive debate career.

I repeat, they are all full of shit. Their “criticism of him” is not even close to on base. They literally advocate for “Schizoanalysis”. Everyone claims that they critique everyone else in this field. “Critique” in the sense of “your mostly right but made a few mistakes” instead of being like “I’m pretty sure that young children don’t want to fuck their mom and kill their dad” (oedipus complex, which Deleuze and Guattari think is real)

It’s telling that their attempted psychiatric hospital was an epic fail, that Deleuze famously said guattari told him to “write stupid shit”, and Deleuze ends up flinging him self out of a window in an apparent suicide later.

You seem to want a model that can be specialized to your own data.

We need a model that can learn new knowledges on the fly. Not by putting it in its context/prompt, but one that can somehow store new informations in its weights. If each user can have a modelxmemory combo that will add so much more utility.

Or, maybe we'll be able to train claude models once the training cost go down enough.
I hope you can still configure it to have all the different toolboxes in separate windows like before.

Also who thought putting stuff like "Cancel" and "OK" into the title bar was a good idea?!
It can be a big difference if boxing is involved. Or if the list is very big, because all access to items in the list require casting at the bytecode level (due to type erasure).
They either separate them or more usually medicate them so they can't abuse other patients or the staff. They basically become bedridden on pills, and are sleepy all the time. The old people places love those patients because they are much less work and you can keep milking the family for much longer. The person has no awareness of themselves or their surroundings, sleeps all day, I cannot understand how this is allowed.

I have a family member being put through this for the past few years, though I have no power to change the situation as other people are in control.
The extension dynamically matches listings by scanning publicly available information (google lens, maps and search) in real-time. It doesn't rely on a static database but rather uses advanced algorithms to identify direct links, social media profiles, and other relevant sources. This way, it stays flexible and accurate as new listings or platforms emerge.
At least for Plausible, they state this (https://plausible.io/blog/google-analytics-cookies):

> Instead of tagging users with cookies, we count the number of unique IP addresses that accessed your website. Counting IP addresses is an old-school method that was used before the modern age of JavaScript snippets and tracking cookies.

Since IP addresses are considered personal data under GDPR, we anonymize them using a one-way cryptographic hash function. This generates a random string of letters and numbers that is used to calculate unique visitor numbers for the day. Old salts are deleted to avoid the possibility of linking visitor information from one day to the next. We never store IP addresses in our database or logs.
Conflating Derrida and Sartre with Frankfurt's school is extremely weird. Especially Sartre.

Sartre's ideology is existentialism, it have close to nothing to do with the post-hagelism/neo-marxism of the Frankfurt school. The only common point is that they're continental philosophers and atheists.

Concerning Derrida, his main contribution is that the best way of criticizing a book is to make abstraction of who wrote it and when, of current ideas and laws and only judge the book for itself, finding internal contradiction,and that what he called 'deconstruction'. Yes it's the same word as Frankfurt's school 'deconstruction' but it has nothing to do with it. I get why he's classified as a post-modernist,but he is post-structuralist before everything, and post-structuralism is anti-marxism by definition, so making him a friend of Frankfurt's school is disingenuous. Also he disliked Foucault.

Also, Freud, Deleuze, Lacan and Foucault are frauds and while most post-modernism is basically wankery (if this word doesn't exist,it should), Derrida, and especially Lyotard and Baudrillard do not deserve to be put in the same basket. Lyotard because he explained Marvel 'films' 50 years before Marvel, and Baudrillard because anybody who wants to understand social media has to read him, despite the fact that he died before Facebook was a thing. And conflating all of them with hagelians is an insult to any intelligent being who read them.

And for the 'age of consent' petitions you linked at the end, the story is that the age of consent in France was 21. It was then reduced for non-homosexuals to 18, then 15. The petition (at least the one signed by Françoise d'Eaubonne) was to have the same age of consent for both homosexuals and heterosexuals, which ended up happening. The latest petition I think was to either have consent lowered to 13, or have the penal responsibility raised from 13 to the current consent age,but it was signed by like 60 people and quite weird.

P.S I checked the English version and the French version, one has a lot of facts, citations, point of view and seems quite complete, the other seems quite targeted. I wasn't exact in my description of what happened but I'm a lot closer than the English Wikipedia.
