aliabd··on Show HN: A Python package to get help from ChatGPT when an exception is thrown
Super cool. Big fan of LLMs for explaining code/helping debug as opposed to autocomplete.

Have you tried playing with the prompt? Curious if something (so silly) like “how would an experienced engineer fix this error: <stacktrace>” make a difference.

aliabd··on Pokemon GAN
Just updated the link again - much faster now (inference down to 0.5s from 9s) Queue will move a lot quicker now.

They are the numbers at the bottom left of the interface under the 'clear' button. Try clicking them and it will auto fill the input then you just click submit. Or what do you see?
aliabd··on Pokemon GAN
Just rebuilt the app with more examples, so the queue should stay a lot shorter now. This was built using Gradio[0] and is hosted on Spaces[1]. Check out the paper[2] and github repo[3].

aliabd··on Hugging Face Acquires Gradio
Thank you Nils! We were very fortunate to work with you and all of the awesome people at Pear!

aliabd··on AnimeGANv2: Convert Face Portraits into Anime
Sorry we had to restart the interface - can you try again?
aliabd··on AnimeGANv2: Convert Face Portraits into Anime
Sorry, we had to restart the interface for a separate issue. Please try again

Nothing is saved by default. Clicking 'flag' saves the input and output (only accessible to the space owner). More info on flagging: https://gradio.app/getting_started/#flagging
aliabd··on AnimeGANv2: Convert Face Portraits into Anime
This was built on top of the Pytorch implementation [0] of AnimeGANv2, using gradio [1] and HuggingFace Spaces [2]. See the 100s of examples [3] posted by users.

aliabd··on Model converts casual text to formal
So I agree with you, but how would you formulate what makes text 'casual'?
aliabd··on Model converts casual text to formal
My favorite:

[Formal] "Your mother is so old, her last name is asaurus" [Casual] "Yo mama's so old, her last name is asaurus"

[Casual] "Yo what's up with the weather?" [Formal] "What is the weather like?"

Try sketching one of these: - bench (my favorite) - drums - airplane - basketball
aliabd··on Quran API
This is awesome and will enable a whole suite of apps to be build on top of it. Great work
aliabd··on PaddleOCR: Lightweight, 80 Langauge OCR
Sorry, this is because of the traffic right now. what you're seeing is a counter for how long the current prediction time is vs avg prediction time.
aliabd··on PaddleOCR: Lightweight, 80 Langauge OCR
Yes the flag button is for wrong or unusual outputs. No worries though
aliabd··on PaddleOCR: Lightweight, 80 Langauge OCR
Thanks for sharing! For context this is a demo of PaddleOCR V2 [0] which was released yesterday. You can find their original repo here [1]. We built this demo using Gradio [2] and deployed it on HuggingFace's Spaces [3].

aliabd··on Show HN: 59a34eabe31910abfb06f308 – NeuralHash Collision Demo
Here's a web demo[0] where you can try out any two images and see the resulting hashes, and whether there's a collision. You can also try your own transformations (rotation, adding a filter, etc) on the image. Demo was built using Gradio[1].

aliabd··on Robinhood apparently selling people's shares ”for their own good“
I'm genuinely stunned that Robinhood would run over their #1 persona like this. I doubt they will ever recover
aliabd··on Machine Learning Models Are Missing Contracts
I think ML as a field just needs to really mature. A lot of the work feels super hacky, sort of a mix between research, demos, and production.
aliabd··on A Visual History of Interpretation for Image Recognition
I'm the author here! Thanks for sharing :) Feel free to ask me any questions.

I wanted to highlight some of the libraries we used: Gradio [1] to create the interfaces in the GIFs, and PAIR-code's [2] Tensorflow implementation of the papers.

aliabd··on Rocketcrab: Party Games for Phones
This is awesome! Love playing games like this with my parents (long distance), but they only ever want to play on their phones and the UI is always terrible. Wish I could've tried some of the games though without needing someone else to join. Some sort of automated example or a general open room?
aliabd··on Which McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines Are Broken?
(Reposting my comment here from the other thread)

AFAIK, reverse engineering APIs isn’t illegal. [1]

There are some (VC backed) start ups that are open about doing it. Teller API is an example. [2]

[1] “Reverse engineering generally doesn't violate trade secret law because it is a fair and independent means of learning information, not a misappropriation. Once the information is discovered in a fair and honest way, it also can be reported without violating trade secret law.“ https://www.eff.org/issues/coders/reverse-engineering-faq [2] “We reverse engineer these apps to discover their secret API contracts and then implement clients for them.” https://teller.io/
