nachox999··on Contradictions in photography advice
Almost all "advice" is ultimately an artistic decision: It's an arbitrary rule that each photographer can change.

However, there are rules that DO help improve the quality of photos, especially if you're a beginner. Then, to move beyond being a beginner, it's good to know how to break the rules (as with any art or discipline).

For those who want to cause harm (discredit), they don't need a real photo; AI is enough
nachox999··on A “meta-optics” camera that is the size of a grain of salt
It is possible to create realistic images and videos with AI, making anyone do anything. Whether a photo or video is real or not will soon be impossible to distinguish, and it won't matter to those who want to cause harm

nachox999··on Quitting engineering to pursue art full-time
It was by chance, I wasn't looking for it. I was working as a community manager for a musician and I came up with the idea of suggesting co-composing something together, and ended up composing songs for her. If I wanted to reverse engineer it, I could start by proposing the same thing to every musician I know (or even reaching out to musicians I don't know through social media).
nachox999··on Quitting engineering to pursue art full-time
I've been playing the piano and composing music for over a decade. Last year, I started getting paid as a ghost composer, and since then, I've been composing more songs per week on average than ever before in my life. I don't regret anything; I love everything I've composed for the person who hired me, and getting paid for it is an incredible bonus. It's almost like a dream come true that I never sought or aimed for. I also didn't feel any less of an artist for accepting payment for my work. I simply believe that we need to take some of the romanticism out of the notion that to be a true artist, you have to starve.

If someone buys something voluntarily, it's because it holds value for that person, not because they're a fool. The key lies in the 'voluntarily'.

nachox999··on Ask HN: Has anyone else stopped playing video games as an adult?
I stopped playing them at 17/18 because I felt like I was wasting my time (my mother used to frequently tell me they were a waste of time). At first, I felt like I was missing out on something. Today, almost 15 years later, I don't regret quitting them. Truth is, I don't miss them, and the times I've tried playing again, they no longer hold any appeal for me.
