Hi HN, We have developed (from scratch) the world's first production-grade Font GenAI system, and have used it to put together the largest collection of fonts on the planet: https:…

I believe resistive losses are the primary limiting factor, not insulation.

Is it possible to collect actual observations to confirm or deny the results of this modeling? A key part of any well formed scientific hypothesis is that it can be validated or di…

Another competitor that has AFAIK the best unit pricing is: https://pixian.ai

(I'm a dev on the project.) We have another background-removal service, ClippingMagic.com, that is built around an editor to let you fix the errors in the automatic result. You may…

(I'm a dev.) Not everyone has macOS, and running a DL model in your browser is not exactly mainstream. Which is why segment leader remove.bg gets an estimated 35M in monthly organi…

(I'm a dev on the project.) It is free while in beta. We've not implemented pricing yet, as we are a small team and just shipped the latest version of the model.

(I'm a dev on the project.) We have no plans to jack up prices. We see the whole market moving to low-margin cost+ pricing and we want to lead rather than follow. If we raised pric…

(I'm a dev on the project.) The privacy policy is an old and generic one that we use across a bunch of sites. It should be updated. Our retention policy on this site is as stated o…

(I'm a dev on the project.) We've not decided on the exact term of the credits, but they will be long-lasting, so you can pay $5 for 250 images and use that over the course of a fe…

In the third paragraph, the author writes that COVID was probably "cooked up in the kitchen of nature", and links to an article to support that assertion. But the linked-to article…

I'm the other main developer on this project. We see this as part of a broader trend where the margins are going to shrink dramatically for those selling AI tools online. Rather th…

I deleted all social media over the span from 2016 to 2019, and after an short period of actively missing it, I don't even think about it anymore, unless the topic comes up as one …

I'm the other main dev (and co-founder) on this project. Some interesting things to note: * This is all our data from our other site, so it is very real-world and diverse. We don't…

Regarding all the anecdotes, I would have said the same thing 8 years ago when I moved to my current house in suburban Minneapolis. Then we had some landscaping done and added a bu…

Hi! We have developed a tracing algorithm that blends Deep Learning, classical Machine Learning, and hand-crafted computer vision algorithms to turn regular bitmaps (JPEG, PNG, ...…

Do you have an example of this being done on a large scale? Sincere question. I've just never heard of it being done.

Modern technology makes it possible to build cities in arid environments, but it doesn't make it wise.

Carbon dioxide was not considered a pollutant when the law was passed, so congress should specifically authorize such a significant expansion of the EPA authority. Rule by executiv…

Shameless plug: weatherspark.com has a great compare feature that is extremely useful when evaluating the relative merits of a given location's climate. See the following compariso…

That is an amazing bug.

The (s)RGB color model is not some legacy choice. It is closely tied to how colors are stored, composited, and communicated to physical displays. And this problem seems a bit artif…

Two extra letters. Numbers matter :).

That sounds like it applies to websites of businesses with physical locations, no?
