Wow what a touching compliment, thank you so much!!

Woah I LOVE both of these! When I get a chance these are 100% getting linked from the writeup.

There's a lot of really good research papers that touch on this area from what I saw - would definitely be cool to see if that extra nuance could be added without dramatically incr…

Yes, 2.0 is the value I tuned the equations around - but I think there's definitely room for improvement in terms of squashing the space along the fair/deep axis in order to get be…

Good catch, added MIT license - feel free to use it! On top of that, my understanding is that math/equations are not subject to copyright, so the core part of this work (the equati…

Oh wow, didn't even think of how that sort of thing might affect the page.

Thanks! I hope to send lots of love those ways, they're basically all things that I found outside of this work that I liked enough to remember (I think Humanae was the one that I f…

Thank you! I call out the manual labeling bias and also that a future work improvement would be to be scientific about that labeling process (multiple labelers, expert labelers), a…

Yes absolutely right on - I mention much deeper in the page that in a picker UI you can use a bigger range, but that in a generation context you might want to be a bit more selecti…

In sharing this around I've found more people than I thought who've done things to semantically chop up the color space - definitely a more interesting area than I first thought of…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a w…

I feel similarly to the author, and I appreciate the links to other authors with similar sentiments - "hirirng a taskrabbit to solve a puzzle" or "feeling nothing about the results…

There's some genuinely interesting tips in here, but #10 is for sure just padding so they could call the article "10 Hacks" haha. Everything else is at least somewhat Python specif…

I've never understood why people care so much about the linter settings. It's so obviously bikeshedding, just make a choice, run the linter automatically and be done with it. I'm t…

The writing feels odd in a sort of off putting way. Maybe too much vividness and a kind of pseudointellectual vibe. Or like a bit egotistical? I don't know if that's what you're ge…

Your comment made me realize that maybe we're just going through the transition to a collectively better understanding of people. Right now we sort of have to pass through the clin…

Word embeddings (that 1000-dimension vector you mention) are not new. No comment on the rest of your comment, but that aspect of LLMs is "old" tech - word2vec was published 11 year…

A little strange to compare it to palm reading, I feel like a more apt comparison is some other random medical field like podiatry. I wouldn't expect my friends' podiatrist usage t…

I haven't run into this person but I'd love to hear about problems you've seen people create - I can't even think of a problem I could create and fix.

To my biased ears it sounds like these configuration-like files are a borderline DSL that maybe isn't being treated as such. I feel like that's a common issue - people assume becau…

Taken as a whole, the title guidelines feel more focused on titles of articles, rather than whole website titles. I can understand the complaint, but in my opinion this title is fi…

Oh wow, I haven't heard of theis "plastic pollution treaty" it sounds super promising! I think one of the things that makes this issue so popular is just how obvious it is to see p…

I don't have super strong feelings on congestion pricing, but I'm a bit skeptical of anyone who says working class people are the major car users in NYC. But all that aside, why ar…

In the United States, likeness rights vary by state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights

Probably should have just said POC in my parent comment to skip all this side discussion, but the repetition is the point. - it's used for emphasis. From wikipedia: "The term aims …
