I thought of this as soon as I saw the repo as well.
teapourer··on Show HN: AI climbing coach – visualize how to climb any route based on your body
Looks cool! It definitely looks technically challenging, especially for expert climbers who have a variety of creative moves at their disposal. But I can definitely see this being useful for novices.
teapourer··on Generating transparent images using Stable Diffusion XL
Also the creator of Fooocus, the open source version of Midjourney. It’s amazing how much one person can contribute to a field in such a short span of time.
teapourer··on Show HN: Litmaps – Visual Research Discovery Tool
Great work! Is there a way to share a map state via a URL?
teapourer··on Show HN: Compare news from the political left and right
Really nice idea and implementation. How did you determine each source's placement on the left/right spectrum?
teapourer··on Just Be Rich
You have a glaring mistake in your very first paragraph: 2% of $60 million is $1.2 million, not $120k. The calculations on your Google sheet look correct though.
teapourer··on Using GANs to Create Fantastical Creatures
It seems like the drawing has to be very well drawn in order to get decent results.
teapourer··on There’s No Such Thing As ‘Ethical A.I.’
> And yet, when it comes to the ways in which A.I. codes of ethics are discussed, a troubling tendency is at work even as the world wakes up to the field’s significance. This is the belief that A.I. codes are recipes for automating ethics itself; and that once a broad consensus around such codes has been achieved, the problem of determining an ethically positive future direction for computer code will have begun to be solved.

Is anyone actually claiming that AI programs will "automate ethics"? The post seems rather pointless.

teapourer··on Seoul's full cafes, Apple store lines show mass testing success
To be clear, the Korean government officially still recommends social distancing. They are especially worried about the family picnics mentioned in the article, and have officially closed many public parks in response.

To repeat: don't take this as a sign that Korea believes it has successfully managed the outbreak.

teapourer··on Identicons and Visual Hashing
Wow, that looks really cool. From https://github.com/e1ven/Robohash it looks like there are dozens of components (mouth, nose, etc.) that can be combinatorically assembled, each of which has been hand-drawn, which must've taken a great deal of work on the author's part!
teapourer··on Some Churches Are Still Packing in Crowds
Unfortunately, "most" is not sufficient here. In South Korea the majority of cases were spread through a small handful of church gatherings. Consequently I have come to think that media coverage such as this post is a net benefit to society, although it is undisputable that they cast many innocent people in a bad light.
teapourer··on Grab your crayons, it’s coloring time
I don't know of an exact theme, but I think you would be able to get a similar effect by using a standard landing page theme and tweaking the fonts / colors a little. Use a round typeface, double the font size, and choose vibrant colors.
teapourer··on The Top Idea in Your Mind (2010)
Brilliant.
teapourer··on Ask HN: Non-cloud voice recognition for home use?
They are trained on a ton of non-public data though, and I’m not sure if pre-trained models are around.
teapourer··on What is the unique value proposition of selling honey?
I interpreted it a bit more broadly as a message about a company's image in the media (though this may be influenced by how it is reputed to treat its workers).

I thought the author's point was that if your company's only value proposition is that you are "less evil" than some company B (but with virtually the same product), then your position is extremely vulnerable.
