leeeeeepw··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)
Video and art generator netwrck dot com
leeeeeepw··on Ask HN: Why do we celebrate AI-Copilots but reject AI–Generated art?
Idk I like art generators ... I made ra1 art generator, pretty popula, it indexes lots of other art generators and basically uses the right one for each query
leeeeeepw··on YC alum LunaJoy got $6.6M, offers job below minimum wage
Seems like this would be abused a lot though eg promises of full-time work or a better life only to be rug pulled when they find another gullible and desperate enough.

I guess everywhere can be vulnerable to this just if it's explicitly illegal or not, sad to see places try to hunt vulnerable people in situations where they will work for unfair terms instead of build high functioning teams which is think is more where YC is supposed to be aimed :(

leeeeeepw··on California bill would require bots to disclose that they are bots
Seems impossible
leeeeeepw··on How types make hard problems easy
AI chatbot example, you're chatting and then there could be some Mark down, latex, images maybe base64 encoded webp, audio files, we can type all this stuff do all the validations and such, understand it better and there's some gains to be had doing that, then likely someone like Facebook comes along with this Giant byte Transformer expert system with all of the data specific optimisations, that's kind of the bitter lesson but I guess the main point is that the problem itself of how to best communicate with AI is not necessarily solved so you can get bogged down typing the best possible ways to do it but it's a moving target.

Same with a lot of systems like say a search system that tracks data using the best embedding, well we don't know what that best embedding is in terms of price performance and encoded knowledge perf it's just a moving target.

Send me the system that tracks important metrics effecting the stock market, or a weather system etc... the sensors are all updating and then an entirely new thing comes along like Starlink that helps us track the weather in totally new ways

leeeeeepw··on Ask HN: To those with successful browser extension(s), how did you grow it?
Have a site called webfiddle that got popular because of seo mostly but then got blocked, it makes it easy to develop extensions and share them by using a proxy server, the proxy server itself is what caused it to get blocked.

But same SEO strategy of building lots of content still works

leeeeeepw··on Instagram and Threads moderation is out of control

leeeeeepw··on Epic vs. Google: Google Loses
Don't get me started on Adsense and internet ads. Ok you got me started, my developer tools site helps people develop Chrome extensions webfiddle.net

I had my entire adsense account including all of my other games cancelled because it's against Google's terms of service to advertise on other people's content... well that's exactly Google's business model. Think about it?

Banned me for life too, if they want to crush people on the internet it's in their DNA and don't think they won't.

Meanwhile the people allowed to run internet ads are selling v iol e nce, pi lls, se gs, addictive gam bli ng games etc on my kids YouTube videos.

leeeeeepw··on Role-playing with AI will be a powerful tool for writers and educators
Netwrck. Com it's crazy good AI and image generation right now.

But the art is described by the AI first.

I use those latent consistency speed ups but I translated them into quality ups by putting a lot of refinement after the generation.

Now I'm getting midjourney level art come out of it
