What biases?

As others have pointed out it tends to associate some professions with specific races. And crime related emojis with black people. It's a Stable Diffusion issue.

I just ran "a criminal" 8 times and got only white men.

Hi! Creator here! I just started hacking on this last night and wasn't expecting to see this on HN already :) It works by taking your prompt and generating an emoji using https://replicate.com/fofr/sdxl-emoji . Next, I remove the background using https://replicate.com/cjwbw/rembg . Then, click to download and add to slack! It's all open-source, code is here: https://github.com/cbh123/emoji Let me know if you have any…

Oh this is crazy, I didnt realize replicate had user models like that for chaining

Is there a good video or channel to follow thats all about replicate and similar services at this level of depth?

This is so fun! I've been sharing the link all day with friends and colleagues.

BTW, the official new 15.1 Unicode emoji are being released on Monday -- if you're in the Bay Area, come to the release party at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, and there's a livestream too: https://computerhistory.org/events/new-emoji-release-party/

(It's free!)

Looks like it was removed

Bummer. I'd love to see what other people have generated rather than just the curated stuff.

Even just knowing what i've entered i can understand hiding this.... especially if you're attaching your own name to things.

Plus, it opens liability issues.

Do you have any specific references or instances that indicate fly.io as being unreliable?

Very anecdotal so take this lightly but the past year or so of Fly.io threads have had a lot of comments expressing negative experiences with reliability. I have no experience myself so I can't comment, but if you search for a fairly recent thread you'll probably find some people's experiences.

I was about to start building a new application and I really wanted to give Fly a shot, but the CLI literally wouldn’t connect to their builder API. The status page was all green, but clearly things weren’t working.

I moved to Render and I’ve had a much better experience.

Doesn't this cost money? Could you use a model from huggingface too. I'm trying to get into this kind of stuff, but I want to use free or local AI models to avoid bills.. lol

I guess even with hugging face you have to pay for the compute costs which could get pretty big pretty fast if something takes off.

FlyIO deleted my database and I lost all data. Fly told me in 7-days they would automatically update my redis database. My plan was to manually update it that weekend. 3 days later, I get an alert that they migrated the db early. b/c I didn't have storage enabled, all data was gone. Support ticket: https://community.fly.io/t/forced-migration-to-v2-with-decei...

Fly.io definitely has an innaproprately casual attitude, and it's a big deal they migrated you early.

However, they do point out that literally any reboot would have wiped your data and that that could have happened at any time previously. I think there's some truth to the suggestion I've seen on HN that the users running into the worst fly.io issues are the ones aiming to spend single digit amounts per month and not paying for enough machines and disk space to have reliability be possible
