The generator isn't very accurate. I prompted "a sad bald construction worker" and I got a smiling construction worker wearing a hard hat. Only 1 out of 3 adjectives was implemented.

Construction workers probably need to wear a hard hat even when they are bald. ;)

True, but I think a human graphic artist would have known what I was asking for

Doesn't work at all for me. I tried "pirate flag" and got something ugly and not at all piraty than was then made uglier and essentially blank by the background removal.

Did you try more than once? Happened on my first try too, next few were great

Yes I tried a few other prompt: from what I recall "syndicalist flag" gave a similar result, "hacker emblem" was refused as being potentially NSFW, and "anarchy" was the only one to give an actual result… of a cop emoji! Definitely not working well.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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…

Like I said in the forum history, I should have paid for persistent storage, but this data lose could have been avoided during a planned reboot.

FlyIO knew that there was no storage attached to the redis instance and there would be data loss, but they still chose to reboot it ahead of schedule.

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…

Hi, neat idea. Appear to have hit an issue. https://i.imgur.com/XQGfBed.png Interesting, just not a clean Emoji.

Using :bob: (Thought it might give me "B.O.B.", "Bob Dylab", or "What about Bob")
