> The regulation should not include AI-generated ads "not intended to mislead users, for example, generating an image of a living room to showcase a sofa, or enhancing product visuals for presentation purposes", the letter said.

While ads have always been misleading (think gluing burgers together) this just seems lazy to me. Put a real sofa in a room. If that's so hard to do then how am I going to put your sofa in my house!

Building a map guessing game where you're given a map with the labels/axis redacted, and then you have to guess what it's a map of. e.g. the map would be average height by country, but you would just get a map where countries like The Netherlands were the darkest, and then you'd have to try and figure out that it's average height!

The hinting system for it is a bit work in progress (trying to tune the difficulty and feedback from hints)

I’d probably think it looked alright.

I think it’s the fact that my eyes have been blasted with a certain visual ‘vibe’, and I’ve come to associate it with apps that are, on average, a bit lazy

I wonder why the firefox CSS rendering engine prefers to smooth out. Looks like a dramatically different implementation, but maybe that's just because it's an edge case of rendering

I’ve never seen people on the likes of blackhatworld selling hacker news accounts or services. The glass half full take on this is that hn is surprisingly robust in its ability to deal with vote manipulation.

Ah I mean others disliked the results.

Make up your own mind I suppose, I doubt you will find them rewarding: https://youtu.be/rQabMPpdQnk?si=Fm9Yqj7EwAjYp5np

Somebody spent a small fortune trying this a while ago with disliked results https://nypost.com/2025/04/13/entertainment/ailing-doctor-wh...

Please don't capture my cursor on your homepage, and if you have to, please don't apply smoothing to is so that it doesn't go where I want it to! I appreciate that it's pretty, but making your site annoying to use can only increase churn

The outage did make me realise I’d be happier watching episodes of House instead

Most services appear to work, aside from actual video streaming for me
