Not working here, some CORS issue. Firefox, Ubuntu latest.

Not working here either. Two different errors with two different browsers on Arch. - Chromium: Failed to load tiles: Failed to fetch - Zen: Failed to load tiles: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

Same in Safari on macOS here, FWIW.

Yeah I'm gonna blame Claude (and my free plan) for this one. Fixing!

Cloudflare caching should be back. Turns out that there were a lot of tiles being served, who could have seen that coming?

Author here: Just got out of some meetings at work and see that HN is kicking my cloudflare free plan's butt. Let me get Claude to fix it, hold tight!

We should be back online! Thanks for everyone's patience, and big thanks to Claude for helping me debug this and to Cloudflare for immediately turning the website back on after I gave them some money

I was most surprised by the fact that it only took 40 examples for a Qwen finetune to match the style and quality of (interactively tuned) Nano Banana. Certainly the end result does not look like the stock output of open-source image generation models. I wonder if for almost any bulk inference / generation task, it will generally be dramatically cheaper to (use fancy expensive model to generate examples, perhaps inte…

In my experience image models are very "thirsty" and can often learn the overall style of an image from far fewer models. Even Qwen is a HUGE model relatively speaking.

Interestingly enough, the model could NOT learn how to reliably generate trees or water no matter how much data and/or strategies I threw at it...

This to me is the big failure mode of fine-tuning - it's practically impossible to understand what will work well and what won't and why

> This project is far from perfect, but without generative models, it couldn’t exist. There’s simply no way to do this much work on your own, Maybe, though a guy did physically carve/sculpt the majority of NYC: https://mymodernmet.com/miniature-model-new-york-minninycity...

This project is awesome, and I love that there are people who are driven enough to make something with so much craft, attention, and duration.

That being said I have three kids (one a newborn) - there's no possible way I could have done this in the before times!
