Out of curiosity, does lacking the sense of smell influence your sense of taste? Do some things taste wildly differently to you versus how your friends would describe them? I have a very weak sense of smell that comes and goes (sometimes I get weeks without being able to smell anything other than the strongest scents) and it definitely has an impact on my appetite and how much I enjoy certain foods. I have noticed that I'm much more sensitive to texture and mouth feel than others and I suspect it's because of this, but I also have AuDHD so I can't be sure.

Genuine question: how would they know if it has always been a certain way?

If they _lost_ their sense of smell, they had something to compare it with.

I'm still trying.

Still can't load the Turnstile JS :-/

Turnstile is back up (for now). Go refresh. I just managed to make an API key and turn off proxied DNS.

this should affect a lot sites? I'm trying to access tailwindcss and I can't as well!
biinjo · a month ago
Lol. I mean I love Tailwind but it seems like the least trivial site/service to be down right now haha.

Pretty much everything is down (checking from the Netherlands). The Cloudflare dashboard itself is experiencing an outage as well.

Not-so-funny thing is that the Betterstack dashboard is down but our status page hosted by Betterstack is up, and we can't access the dashboard to create an incident and let our customers know what's going on.

Edit: wording.

Same here. We’re using OhDear. The status page is available but I can’t post an incident because their service is also behind Cloudflare.

I know another single char user, and couldn't believe it either. I think possible options are a-z and 0-9, so only 36 people in the world got that lucky.

No UTF-8 support?

Im finalizing the Google Calendar integration for Ganttify. https://gantt-chart.com

It will allow users to fully manage their calendar in a Gantt chart. Complete with customizations like dependencies between events, custom colors for time blocks and custom icons for single-day events (“milestone”-like).

Ganttify is a Gantt chart add-on for web applications or services that can benefit from a Gantt view. My goal is to expand the number of integrations for Ganttify and release a new integration every month or so. If any of you have an interesting (niche or non-niche) idea to integrate Ganttify with feel free to contact me.

Tells me they are price insensitive and probably get a new computer every couple of years.

That reasoning does not make any sense. I spend $3-4k on a MBP and run it till it fall apart, usually 5-7 years later.

To clarify the AI question once and for all:

What AI did: - Generated README templates (boilerplate markdown) - Suggested commit messages (I didn't always edit them) - Helped with documentation structure

What I wrote: - All Python training logic (train.py, trainer.py, callbacks) - All model architectures (gpt.py, tiny.py, small.py, etc.) - Tokenizer integration - Data pipeline - CLI scaffolding (

Don’t feed the trolls. This was your idea and you made something that works. Who cares if its (partially) done by AI. Whomever is taking offense by people using AI for coding, is just having a hard time adapting to the current state of affairs.

It’s here, it’s happening. Try the project, if you like it thats great, if you don’t then move on.

And if you don’t intent to try it for whatever reason that’s fine as well but don’t be salty to the OP for sharing their passion project.

EDIT, looks like I didn’t click on the “image editing” tab when I went to the site, so I guess take the rest of my below comments criticizing the terminology with a grain of salt…

“Image editing” is a curious term, as it appears the site/topic is actually all about generating new images. The term in my mind should be for actual editing of existing, real, images, Eg “remove the coffee table” from this living room photo after uploading the image. I’ve found the actual “image generation” models to be bad at this because they introduce too many artifacts that weren’t in the original, which makes sense because they are really geared for creating images out of thin air.

Multimodal models like qwen3-vl-30b-a3b, however, seem to do quite well with editing existing images without trying to constantly add in new things or trying to change the image in ways that you don’t want, as if it’s trying to do the “lets just generate a new image” thing. imagegpt.com is also good for editing existing images, but not sure what model they are using on the backend.

I don’t know if you and I are looking at the same site because all I see is existing images being edited with GenAI.

Input: bald man Prompt: give bald man hair Output: edited original, now with hair

That looks like editing to me.

Or are we strictly adhering to the ‘generating new images’ definition because these models technically recreate the entire image? It would be like editing a photo in Photoshop. If you hit “Save” you edited the photo. But if you hit “Save As” and create a new file, the photo wasn’t edited but created as a new image?
