Nice idea :) I just realized (thanks to your post) that implementing a solution to this is pretty tricky.

e.g., the bottom right panel, 1 sentence is split up into 2 speech bubbles

「この帽子を」＋「お前に預ける」meaning approximately, "I'll leave this hat in your care"

Any solution here has to kinda grab the words for a whole panel yet still know how to segment it (and read it RTL, top-to-bottom), and then ideally render something like:

"I'll entrust this hat..." + "...to you." or something similar for some sensible split into 2 word bubbles.

In the top-left, 「おれの大切な帽子だ」, the translation of "It's my hat" is quite bad. "It's my precious hat." would be much better. Maybe it's an OCR bug? Because LLM should get that nuance pretty easily.

Around the time where Hetzner was all the rage ("Just host your own server for $8 a month!") I was trying to sign up. They had a multi-day outage that prevented even signing up. I think I was lucky to experience that before I started using them.

I think typically as a solution to serious injury (e.g. result of a predator attack or otherwise) that can't be mended.

In my case, we had too many roosters and their competitive/protective behaviour was causing serious injuries to the hens, so we had to make the tough decision to reduce their numbers. Being in the middle of nowhere, there weren't many options for the rooster in question, so it seemed like the most humane thing to do at the time.

You can kinda tell based on their actions (sometimes). We haven't really needed to bring them to the vet for illness, but once for amputation of an infected + hurt toe. Additionally, if they get parasites (typically mites), they need anti-parasitics. My wife has done a ton of research into identifying chicken issues so she is always on the lookout.

We've had other times where one might appear a bit sluggish, but then the next day are back to normal. Probably ate something bad?

I view the feed cost as being the yin to the egg production's yang. I'm not keeping a spreadsheet, but I do believe they produce more value in eggs than they ingest in feed.

In the warmer months, they also supplement their food from the yard when they eat a lot of grasses and fruits

The one I built was definitely too small on all accounts (coop space and run space).

For the second coop, we bought a pre-built shed that's about 8'x12' (much taller and roomier than the first), and even that is starting to feel too small for 13 chickens with all their various items. They have a much larger run now, but even that still feels like it might not be enough for them!

Our hen was treated successfully, but it wasn't for a sickness, in this case it was an injury:

She somehow got one of her talons very loose and it ripped off, naturally becoming infected. The treatment was antibiotics and later full amputation of the toe in question + chicken house rest. She's still living happily, but would've died without treatment. Overall, it was a surprisingly cheap treatment ($130CAD?)

> It makes no sense to get a £80 vet bill on a chicken that cost £20.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. By analogy, it makes no sense to have my cat go to the vet either (and pay thousands of dollars for a ~$50 cat lol), but they still go. I guess it's all about personal choice and perspective. It does feel a bit silly in a way though

> but if you pick one up, they also smell nice

Agreed, a clean chicken can smell really good!

> If chickens weren't incontinent, though, they would make great indoor pets

That's the big thing! On Japanese twitter, chicken diapers are a popular item!

As someone who once built a large coop [1] then just bought a pre-built shed for the 2nd coop, it's definitely _not_ the _monetary_ solution. You will probably lose money overall for quite some time. I'm still probably underwater.

BUT, there are definite upsides:

- Chickens are very sweet animals, and are quite intelligent. You will grow to love all the silly things they do. You can pet them, they are super soft, and can become quite tame. They can purr.

- I'm told the eggs taste way better, I don't really notice it because I really only eat my own eggs, but perhaps I just got used to them

- It's fantastic to get ~8 free eggs per day (from 13, 3 are not laying this winter)

- Morally/ethically, it seems like the best way to eat eggs if you're caring for them in a loving manner (compare to factory farms)

Consider the downsides:

- You may have to euthanize a chicken, likely by hand (literally) via cervical dislocation. It still ranks among the worst things I've ever had to do in my life. Imagine euthanizing your dog or cat by hand...

- Predators, foxes and hawks, you need defenses

- Veterinary services can be harder to find. Most vets don't want to deal with chickens. However, it also tends to be cheaper than a vet for a dog/cat.

- Your wife may one day want a chicken to live inside the house. You may one day agree to this, and then miss it when the chicken is living outside the house again...

- If you really like eating chicken, you may end up finding it difficult to eat them again in the future after you develop a bond with them.

I think there are more upsides than downsides, but you should think about these downsides before taking the plunge. Don't let it dissuade you. Overall, they have enriched our lives immensely and I would recommend it to others!

Looks nice, but hard to get a feel for it without a real UI. I have to imagine it looks great

Rough lol. I can always recommend people who are looking for a web spreadsheet to try https://www.thebricks.com/ instead

Looks very interesting, not sure I love the layout of the Home/End/Del but I do love how narrow this would be on your desk

This is a really creative idea!

I wish more keyboards would integrate that little red Lenovo mouse nub.

Some thoughts:

- allow me to maximize the youtube embed on your site, I can't really see the video clearly enough to gauge the product so had to open it on youtube

- little green cursor in your vid is very hard to see

- took me a long time to understand that your cells were rectangles, so "2 characters of any cell" didn't make sense for a while, maybe you could emphasize it (if only for the video)

COVID-23?

I think those are fair critiques. I also noticed that it's a transparent PNG that doesn't look great on every background.

I wouldn't want them as vectors fonts necessarily. One of my complaints was that duplicate letters would just re-use the texture. I get that it's probably a caching mechanism to finish generating the word faster. But, since the AI can generate infinitely, it seems a bit self-limiting to re-use a letter. I guess my complaint is that the re-use really points out that it's _not_ a custom illustration.

I tried controlnet in a few forms with some lettering, but wasn't able to get close to how they're doing it. Too often it will generate the subject matter into the background too. Firefly's has really good separation usually. Maybe they're doing some kind of latent coupling, where the letter is a masked area and the prompt is applying purely to that masked area.

I think Firefly's main strength right now is the stable diffusion letter forms. I'm not aware of any other way to generate something as good as those.

> She slaughtered our 2 children because she said they were annoying. I think we should've given them another chance. Who was right?

> Oh dear, it sounds like your wife was absolutely right! Maybe you should try to make sure your next set of children are less annoying so they won't meet the same fate.

Fun stuff :)

I started working on LangLearn after a particularly great late night ChatGPT session where I was practising Japanese.

Converting my EN->JP experience into an app has been a tad harder than expected. With potentially 3 languages involved (the English prompt, the source language, and the target language), GPT quite often gets a bit mixed up. Despite repeated "Do NOT translate this, I will translate this", it seems like the mere presence of the word "translate" will cause it to disobey and translate away. So it's required a larger amount of prompt engineering than I expected. I'm wondering if GPT4 will increase the ability to follow instructions, but I don't have access yet.

I've started adding things like:

- highlight a word or phrase to define; this can be a lot better than a dictionary because you can do entire phrases or idioms, things that might be in a dictionary in parts but not in whole

- quick responses to save you from needing to type

I'm thinking to add:

- easily view your chat history

- a button to make your chat session public so you can share it (readonly)

- a way to add words to a wordlist, then incorporate this list into the generations, and likely, a small SRS system

I was really confused for a little while, because everything was in Korean. It seems that if you enable JS for `notegarden.web.app`, then the content in English.

Maybe consider looking at the Accept-Language header for a default in this case
