You should look into the more modern tooling available these days, like the Krita plugin and InvokeAI.

Sure, you still use a prompt in those, but it's not really the focus in many cases -- you just use it to give a very rough guideline of what you're trying to do, then start drawing.

Depending on approach you'd either start sketching your astronaut and see the AI turn the sketch into something polished in real time, or you'd generate an image then polish up the details. I think most artists are more likely to prefer the first approach.

I’ve been using Hover since they advertised on 5by5 a decade and a half ago, and never had a single issue. They never bother me nor do I need to remember they exist. I only hear from them when they need ICANN contact confirmation or to remind me a domain is expiring.
There have always been downturns in the velocity of increase in capability of technology like a series of s-curves, but at a zoomed out level it's still an exponential that continues as we constantly innovate.

The trajectory we are on is for AI to be able to do most intellectual jobs in less than ten years and most physical jobs in less than 20. That is speculation but it is based on many decades of increasing performance and capabilities.

Text does have limitations but AI tools and models are not limited to text to image and new models and systems will be created.

I agree that AI will help artists in the short term. But we should anticipate that humans will eventually just be a bottleneck in the creative process.

RS-485 is pretty much the standard to communicate with SDLC to another device. Think of this board as a serial port for a mainframe. Looks like the same card is intended for use in IBM POWER hardware too, running OS/400 or AIX (or Linux).

Of course, an open question is who on earth is still using SDLC over RS-485 these days, but then again I still see new Dell servers fitted with RS-232 ports.
Your mileage may vary, but Starlark was one of the most complicated languages I've ever read. No types, just layers and layers of indirection, with the goal of making a very complex build rule look "simple". I don't like hiding non-accidental complexity, in particular when the abstraction leaks everywhere. Perhaps it was only due to the Starlark I was exposed to (I worked at Google, probably most of the Starlark code I've read has been written by SREs).

> I beg to differ, Fairphone thinks it's economically viable to make phones that are upgradeable by changing modules. The company is doing it now!

Fairphones devices are, frankly, bad value and not particularly interesting. Being able to “upgrade” components is not very useful, if those components are already years behind. Also, fairphone doesn’t allow this! You just can replace components with the same kind… which just makes repairing easier.

> All I want is a spare slot inside one of these phones that I can insert a specialized module. There would be no problem in getting specialized manufacturers to make those modules, witness the fact that there are already thousands of small modular devices on the market already.

You have one. It’s called the USB-C port. Make whatever you want with it, it’s widely supported and compatible.
Apologies, my reference to python was unclear: I was referring to the python module system and the strength and depth of community contributions, not to the syntax and semantics of the language.

In both cases, the communities do so much good work that often someone else has at least a partial solution to problème-du-jour, so it can be relatively easy to get at least a prototype or PoC, and learn from it, and sometimes one gets a complete solution to at least part of the problem.

Do you mean the Biden campaign rather than the White House? Twitter was fielding requests from the Trump White House at the same time since Trump was president then.

And of course we know this, and you probably got your slightly skewed take, from a supporter and member of the incoming President's team now owning Twitter.
I guess you’re saying “not capable of understanding a brilliant language” = “stupid”? This equivalence seems obviously wrong to me.

Bacteria contaminates the exposed surface of foods. Pre-ground meat has a _lot_ of surface area exposed so the potential for contamination is high. If you get your meat as a chunk of chuck roast or larger primal cut, follow good food safety practices in how you maintain your workspace, and then grind the chuck and turn it into patties to be grilled the probability for serving a contaminated product is low.

The problem is that this is more expensive and time consuming so almost no one actually does this in a commercial setting. If you tell me you do this when I come over to your home cook-out I will possibly trust you to serve me a burger with some pink in it, but if your restaurant tries to sell a $6 burger that you let someone order medium-rare bad things are going to eventually happen...

I can't even imagine a situatuion where this is not preferable. For example, if the US immigration check happens in Ireland, they can't detain you or mess with you in ways in which Ireland doesn't approve of, which they could if you were on US soil.

If anything, it seems to me that the USA agreeing to perform immigration checks in Ireland and accept them when you reach the USA is a(n extremely mild) limitation to US sovereignty, not to Irish sovereignty.

This is hardly the only community for this, and it's evaporated into a ghost town. Prices have decreased an order of magnitude.

This is one of the ways up and coming artists without professional training get started earning money from their skill set.

You should see also how Fiverr has filled up with GenAI artists that are pricing out traditional artists. Fiverr isn't typically a place for highly skilled work - it's for newbies and developing world opportunities. And now the money is thinning out.

If you make art in postcards, then maybe you will be replaced. Diffusion based AI image generation is limited to a little over 1 megapixel, or double if you use an expander, or you can infinitely grow an initial image with more of the exact same sort of thing. 1 MPx printed at 300 dpi is similar in size to a postcard. Diffusion being able to generate meaningful printed images at 50-200 Mpx is impossible. My art is made at that size (that's 7200 to 14400 pixels per side approximately @ 300 dpi). I don't use AI. I do use my own code.

Try making a Jackson Pollack using AI, AI can only effectively make objective images, given it requiring linking similar images via limited text descriptions.

Making headers for newspaper articles or blog posts on the web might be OK if you don't care much. Check out https://www.quantamagazine.org to see how real artists do things. Their header images are really imaginative given the subject matter, something AI today can't do. It might be instructive to take their articles and try to make header images for them.

If you make videos, then its 1080p which can be done by AI. But video has its own issues with video diffusion generators having limits on continuity. They are getting better, but the longer the clip, the less control you have and the longer it takes to fiddle with the prompt(s). It won't ever replace real movies unless you enjoy the SciFi channel or Sharknado. That would require an entire new kind of AI which we don't have today.

What you describe is really all large-scale Python projects look like. No types, just layers and layers of indirection, with the goal of making the interface simple and Pythonic while hiding implementation complexity. I don't think this is necessarily a fault given that this language explicitly decides to look like Python (and was in fact simplified from Python).

The worst Starlark code I've read has been written not by SREs, but by the Boq team as they have a fetish for accomplishing complicated configuration at build time. This was one of the reasons I've avoided Boq: an incomplete code base that's under development doesn't even begin to build, which is far worse than building something and seeing a real compiler error.

It always depends on what level you mean. From my experience, it excels at getting you from zero to A1 fluency in whatever categories you care about (reading - writing - listening - speaking); everything above that requires a more varied training regimen.

My own story: Around 2021-02 I decided to start learning Finnish, because there was this really cute girl who lived there. (She's now my wife, and pregnant with our first child, so mission accomplished!) I kept my approach as simple as possible: Get Duolingo Plus, and just run through it every day before and after work until I could do every level with my eyes closed.

When I moved in 2021-08, the week after the COVID-19 borders reopened, I was almost entirely useless in Finnish. But not entirely! And nowadays I'm only mostly useless in Finnish. So it was a success in that regard. Some folks here also know me as the guy behind various open-source Finnish language learning software tools, which is also cool.

I still think the KISS approach was the right one for the earliest stages for me - language learning was and is consistently my most hated subject, so I understood that I would have to use every trick in the book if I wanted to stick with it.

One way to bifurcate the world is that there are people who tend to restrict options to prevent misuse vs. people who tend to enable options to the positive uses easier. I fall in the latter camp. Preventing errors by restricting options also prevents positive uses that make life better.

We get to choose what approach we take. I prefer the "give them the rope they might need" philosophy. If they hang themselves, oh well.
Ask HN: Best AI to summarize YouTube programming tutorial videos
Hello HN,

I've a friend who is wanting to learn PERN stack and the written tutorials I've found are not so good.

There are a number of PERN YouTube videos I've found which are quite good, but my friend's learning style is more effective by reading then applying then using videos and then applying what has been introduced.

What AI have people found that have a high rate of summarizing YouTube programming videos?

These are the 5 videos I am looking at:

> our grandiose art will be also a path to starvation.

That's what I'm saying, that in general the "grandiose art" _is_ a path to starvation, in a lot of business software at least. Because the actual (eventual) requirements are often unknowable at the start, and the initial assumptions are often invalid/false. So if you build your grandiose architecture based on wrong initial assumptions, it'll still lead to a subpar product even if the architecture was perfectly correct (given said assumptions). It's better to approach it with the idea that you're not writing code that needs to run 1 more than e.g. 1 year (but, you ARE writing code that you might need to maintain next year! that's a subtle but important difference. You write code to move fast now - not to enable you to move fast 1 year later; BUT, at the same time you write code that won't slow you down horrendously, in case you can no longer delete it 1 year later).

"In the present case, the freely expressed nature of the vote was violated by the fact that voters were misinformed through an electoral campaign in which one of the The candidates benefited from an aggressive promotion, carried out in circumvention of the national legislation in the field of electoral and by abusive exploitation of the algorithms of social media platforms. Vote manipulation was all the more obvious as the electoral materials promoting a candidate did not carry the signs specific to electoral advertising according to Law no. 370/2004. In addition, the candidate also benefited preferential treatment on social media platforms, which had the effect of distorting the manifestation of the will of the voters."

It seems that you, like everyone else with a purely technical background, are missing the mark completely about art and Generative AI.
The point of art (unless it's purely craft) is in the process, which is exactly what gen AI makes (or claims it's making) obsolete.
Every single time someone says something along the line of "optimizing" the art process with the AI is missing the mark.

The reason why this doesn't appear to be clearer, is that this field if filled with tasteless technology-driven engineers that think they can explain or reduce everything to numbers.

Go talk to your friends, and go to their exhibitions. Witness and celebrate their process.

I think you took the word "alien" from my comment about animals more a bit less metaphorically than it was intended. At any rate, this comment is just a sermon, not knowledge.

Nobody can make cogent argument against statements of fact rooted in faith. You've stated you already know the absolute truth of the matter while making claims that are inherently unfalsifiable. How does one argue against animals being "part of the design for our happiness?" It's not a statement rooted in fact, it's not falsifiable as it touches on mysticism. What is the cogent argument beyond the ample evidence of our shared evolutionary history, and the repeated and growing empirical evidence for our similarities vs. differences?
Oh yes absolutely.

Contract art for individuals looking for a custom image has been devastated by GenAI.
