MitPitt··on Autotone – A vocal pitch correction web application, like Autotune
I meant that I'm looking for some ready examples. Currently I have to connect a microphone and test it myself, which I'm not keen on doing

no demo?

There should be a public canary watcher, to notice dead canaries sooner.

MitPitt··on Tldraw's $2.7M Seed – A new collaborative infinite canvas for the web
Anyone who tried it, how does it compare to Excalidraw?
MitPitt··on Stable Diffusion Prompt Book
Very underwhelming. Many concepts are explained incorrectly, like mixing styles.
MitPitt··on Pokemon Card Animation
When clicked, they do look a bit blurry up-close. Very cool otherwise and hopefully easily fixable.

MitPitt··on Show HN: I made a new AI colorizer
This is great. I'd also love to have the option to manually draw guiding colors over parts of the image, for even more control.

MitPitt··on DreamFusion: Text-to-3D using 2D Diffusion
Coincidentally came out the same day as Meta's text-to-video. I wonder if Google deliberately held out the release to make a bigger impact somehow?
MitPitt··on GPU mining no longer profitable after Ethereum merge
If anything, it only sped up AI progress, by increasing demand for powerful GPUs
MitPitt··on Run Stable Diffusion on Intel CPUs
Why do you keep posting the same comment under every SD post? It doesn't contribute to the discussion, and it's not very relevant to the OP. Some of the links don't even work anymore.
MitPitt··on Upscayl – Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, macOS and Windows
It's obviously the trained model that's heavy. It can't possibly be even close to 1mb.
MitPitt··on Man who robbed bank to get his own money back hailed as national hero
Not arguing whether what he did was morally correct, but holding hostages at gunpoint is something that you always get arrested for, independent of negotiations

Mind sharing where you got that definition from?

What does it do besides design?
MitPitt··on Web3 is not going to change the world
So don't have it sitting in an exchange? Try to educate oneself a little on DeFi? Also there are blockchain with gas fees that cost fractions of a penny.
MitPitt··on Bitcoin mining is being banned in countries across the globe
> What about the man hours behind Coinbase? ProShares Bitcoin ETF? Etc. etc.

"Etc. etc." being how much? There aren't that many crypto exchanges. They don't have personnel in any way comparable in size to that of traditional finances. Also they're not part of bitcoin. It can operate without them. Centralized exchanges are actually part of traditional finance.

Two last paragraphs in your comment are completely out of context, but how is owning a private key for a wallet any different than owning and managing a password for your account on an exchange?

It does operate without those systems just fine. But even if we include those exchanges, how much energy do they spend, and how many people work in that sphere? I don't know the number, but there are not more than a hundred big crypto exchanges. And they don't have hundreds of people working inside them. That is incomparable to the traditional finance system.

You missed the part where I said that this is not about electricity but man hours. Those office buildings are filled with people whose whole lives are to be spent managing these traditional finance institutions. That wastes much more energy, money, and human life.
MitPitt··on Bitcoin mining is being banned in countries across the globe
And you decided again to ignore my words about man hours. My point was NOT about electricity. I was saying how much money and energy all traditional finance related jobs consume.
MitPitt··on Bitcoin mining is being banned in countries across the globe
For some reason you only decided to include VISA, while I meant the whole traditional finance system, including central and other banks. VISA can't operate by itself.
MitPitt··on Bitcoin mining is being banned in countries across the globe
Why do people always forget that credit cards are powered not only by electricity, but with an absurd amount of bureaucracy as well. Has it ever crossed your mind how many man power and work hours goes into management of traditional banking systems? And how much energy that consumes? Across every country and every town.

In PoW blockchains, on the other hand, it's just electricity.
