hackerman123469··on Show HN: Can you tell if an image is AI-generated?
You can often look at hand and ears and tell if it's AI or not.
hackerman123469··on Show HN: Can you tell if an image is AI-generated?
Here are my results:

Personally I have been generating a lot of images using AI, so I know a lot of the artifacts to look out for with AI generated images.

Results ---- You correctly classified 22 of 30 (73%) images!

You identified 12 of 13 (92%) AI-generated images.

You identified 10 of 17 (58%) human-made images.

Muun wallet is what I use to store my BTC.

I personally buy from coinbase and transfer it to my wallet and let it stay there.

The 48 Laws of Power - Robert Greene
hackerman123469··on Internet Explorer 11 has retired and is officially out of support
They didn't take Chrome, they took the engine that powers Chrome, Chromium.

Just like Apple's Safari is built on WebKit. You wouldn't say that other vendors like Sony just took Safari and put their logo on the browser for the browser on PlayStation.

It's the same engine, not the same browser.

That won't make much of a difference since both are American companies.
hackerman123469··on Ask HN: How to Think Clearly?
Depression, anxiety and chronic lack of sleep are usually comorbidity with ADHD though.

So if you have any of those AND you have ADHD then treating ADHD will almost always treat those as well. Since ADHD is the cause for those symptoms.

Depression/anxiety are often used as misdiagnosis before someone is diagnosed properly for ADHD.

You can't be found guilty when you have veto power.
hackerman123469··on YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA
That would be true IF youtube-dl was all about downloading YouTube videos only, but it's not. It's used by people to download videos from like a thousand other websites too.

That is actually one of the best solutions
hackerman123469··on Ask HN: How to Properly Learn CSS
Minimalistic learning is the best way to master CSS.

Don't think of CSS as a whole but simply draw layouts and start by constructing those pages. Don't add anything more than the positioning of each element in the layout, along with their respective sizes.

After you've nailed layouts you can start learning to style components.

But start by learning how each element behave by default without styling ex. how input fields behave across browsers, along with their default properties etc. - It's very useful when you need to style elements that have different default styling across browsers etc.

When you understand the default behavior of elements then you should start by learning how to make the most basic form of elements the same across all browsers by ex. changing default values to something that works across all browsers.

At this point you're able to start styling your components entirely from blank and your styling will be the exact same across all browsers.

So this is where the fun begins. You should take one component at a time and think about how you want it to look and then break its "look" into parts like size, color, shadow, font, borders, positions, behavior etc.

Then simply start styling the component with one part at a time. Do not look up how to create specific components etc. (Like don't take a class from SO and just apply that and try to understand it.) instead learn the required rules to style a component in the way you want with as little properties as possible.

Repeating that for all the components on your site will give you a pretty good all-around grasp on CSS.

It's very sluggish on a large monitor
hackerman123469··on Teaching our five year old to code by cheating
I agree with this, it's like forcing a kid to play sports if they just wanna read books etc.
hackerman123469··on Learning How to Learn Japanese
> Newspapers? How boring.

I think that's a matter of interest. I personally like reading the newspaper but I am more of a fan of online news than newspapers, my personal favorite being: https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp/

hackerman123469··on How on earth can I ever think of a solution like that in an interview?
The best in interviews for a company is not something generic like solving an algorithm etc.

But rather solving a business logic problem, something that actually relates to the job.

Ex. for a software company that creates logistic systems, a problem to solve could be how to ship N amount of different products from X to Y and how that could work when interacting with external systems for ex. orders, shipping and product information.

Those kind of problems will be much easier to tell if someone is a good fit or not because it's an essential problem to solve for the company.

You also don't need to match the profit entirely.

You just need to match it so it's worth more than what anything else would be.

hackerman123469··on R U OK?
I don't think you should lecture me on mental health problems. I am already diagnosed with mental health problems.

I was just asserting what he said and what it came off as.

hackerman123469··on Show HN: StowShare – The Airbnb of Storage
Storage units are fairly cheap and common pretty much everywhere (At least where I live) - so what is the advantage of using this?
hackerman123469··on Show HN: AI color palette generator for Tailwindcss
Yeah but if you look at the code it doesn't really predict anything on trained data etc.

It's not really a neural network either.

It will always return the same output for the same input. There are no training datasets etc.

It's literally just an algorithm that returns an output and returns the next output based on the previous output.

I would have expected some dataset of colors to train a model on and then use that to generate values but there really is no actual AI.

People seem to confuse a clever algorithm with AI.

There's nothing inherently intelligent about what it does. It's all math.

hackerman123469··on How to Be Indistractable
There are more to ADHD than just trouble with executive functions. There are things like emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, sensory processing that are also common traits among people with ADHD. Trouble with executive functions is just one aspect of the issues we, as people with ADHD face.
hackerman123469··on Show HN: AI color palette generator for Tailwindcss
So what exactly is AI about it? It just looks like a common algorithm that matches colors together and not some AI that has been trained to find matching color palettes.
hackerman123469··on Victor Hugo, a SEO tool for Hugo based sites (opinions pls)
SEO is not always about ranking in a search engine but also about appealing to the people searching.

Of course you want to rank high but you also want people to click on your content.

hackerman123469··on How to Be Indistractable
I agree with you and people with ADHD has an ability called hyper-focus which let's us (I am diagnosed with ADHD) focus on stuff without ever letting go.

ADHD has a kind of wrong name in that it has "Attention Deficit" when really paying attention is not the problem, regulating attention is the problem.

We often struggle with either paying too little attention or too much attention.

hackerman123469··on Bella Thorne, OnlyFans and the battle over monetising content
You should see one of his latest videos. It's definitely not a stunt and also if you follow his YouTube streams you'd know.
hackerman123469··on Bella Thorne, OnlyFans and the battle over monetising content
Remind me again how Dr. Disrespect could do pretty much anything on stream and not get banned.

Dude did nothing and got banned.

hackerman123469··on Ask HN: Captcha Alternatives?
In the same boat. I had to put it on the easiest but I still fail sometimes and you often have to cross out like 90% of the images given, whereas with competitors like recaptcha it's often just 2 or 3 images.
hackerman123469··on Use of AI to select Superstars in sports
Those are not global statistics. It's mostly popular in common wealth countries and is mostly unheard of being done outside.

The large amount of users come from a single country (India) and thus you cannot really say it's popular globally.

hackerman123469··on California bullet train contractors botched bridge project
China is a poor example, especially for bullet trains as they literally just did bad copying from Japan. They have a lot more accidents than ex. Japan.

Japan would be a prime example and it's a shame you didn't use it.

Really great video and really relatable as someone with some success myself, nobody but me often sees my failures but for each success there are hundreds, if not thousands of mistakes that lead me to it.
hackerman123469··on Ask HN: How Belarus can keep connected despite internet blackout?
What counts as a character? 1 ASCII or 1 Unicode? If Unicode then just use Chinese and you can express a lot in the span of 40 characters.
