I just saw this was on fly and thought the same thing lol. But I also thought to myself “this is actually a good use for fly, nice simple app to see if there’s traction before moving to something reliable.”

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

I had something deployed on fly for a few months and was regularly running into random restarts and connection issues. I ended up switching to DO’s app platform and haven’t seen any of that since.

Does fly do runaway billing?

Bandwidth would be the concern, I think. They won't auto-scale machines up/down for you.

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…

Elixir... don't see that every day. I started reading through the code and was like "what the heck is an ex file?!!" Never really seen Elixir before. Looks pretty nice.

The beauty of Ruby with the bulletproof-ness of Erlang.

Interested to know what can be done with the up/down votes, some kind of RLHF for image generation?

Unfortunately it seems some "tiled images" must have made it into the dataset as half the time it generates an array of tiny images instead of a single emoji. Out of about 5 or 6 tries I got one good one that wasn't centered correctly.

It produces some "interesting" results. I put in "robber" expecting that one emoji everybody thinks exists but doesnt, and I got a black guy with a white beanie/hat.

Apart from that it produces insanely convincing results. I believe people would not bat an eye if they'd get added in an update to iOS!

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

Fly bandwidth pricing is pretty competitive; if bandwidth is an issue your bill will be cheaper on Fly than most other providers.
