Hey @ilaksh Let's talk over email. We have a lot of different options and details re the API that we're still considering and trying to improve with our partners

We're trying to streamline the process and explain it. Running the infra for this is hard. We are running on expensive A100 machines which are not easily available and not part of Google Colab infra. There are lots of hyper-parameters one could toy with, and we're trying to hide those and give optimal results automatically. Obviously this could all just be the start of it, and we might continue to develop on different directions where we see it's most fun :)

We're relying on Google's Dreambooth paper which differently from Text-Inversion, it does full model fine-tuning. This should help achieve higher fidelity results if you're trying to replicate the distinct features of your subject

Indeed we're working on that and explaining the technology behind is one of the things we're working on. Currently we're training a Stable Diffusion image-generation model, to the custom images that the user provide so that he can generate images of his specific subject consistently. This relies on a paper by Google called Dreambooth. So thank you mainly to Nathaniel Ruiz

Hi all, great to see someone posted our service :) We started working on this 3 weeks ago and are having real fun with the response. People are creating amazing stuff, and doing great experiments.

Here are my thoughts

1) Free p2p money transfers / gateway to bitcoin or other crypto-currency so that it's more widely adopted

2) Better open bank accounts - allowing open transparent accounting for organizations and companies

3) Solve democracy - better analytical tools for mass discussion, arguments and decision making which will encourage use of facts and science, and discourage politics

4) Human-Machine interfaces - memory augmentation

5) Solve the common cold and influenza

6) Robotics - better batteries, finer motors and sensors - possibly through the usage of biological systems

7) Public access to satellites - realtime security monitoring, crops analytics and forecasting

8) Solve weather or create private air-conditioned jackets ;)

BoardingBot https://boardingbot.boorgle.com Is a tool I made few weeks ago over 4 days. I started it as a Facebook chat bot which sends TestFlight invitations and then realized it's also worth turning it into a more complete tool which creates a website and invitation request form which automatically sends TestFlight invitations. It was featured in ProductHunt and I was generally surprised with the positive feedback. I'm wondering if it's worth investing more time into it...

Hey Patio, Thanks for your insight... indeed you are correct, I do not have enough data to actually conclude that the Google Accounts is what actually hurting the conversion. I have less than 100 visits a day. However what I do know is that I can see in the raw logs people forwarded to the Google Accounts signin and never come back... which is a bit frustrating.. however it is possible that they are reluctant anyhow, any would probably fail to convert in just the next step.

Indeed I agree that OpenID is confusing for most users.

I guess I will follow your advice and implement an on-site registration.

Thank you

Hello HN, I've been working for a year on this project called 9folds: a platform which allows creating websites, and templates.. on top of Google AppEngine.

I'd appreciate and comments and opinions
