oh no, an indie company is having fun instead of increasing the shareholder’s value!

you should have seen the reaction when Are.na collaborated with Dinamo on a new version of Arial (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45012995) - like, are we not allowed to make art for arts' sake?

Hacker News gets mad if you deviate a little from the usual profit maximizing routine to do something a little humanistic. And then they keep upvoting articles on how corpo streamlining sucks all life out and how the modern society lost its humanistic spirit. You can't win. May very well just play you own game and enjoy it.

Goomba fallacy strikes again! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy

The key difference is this: Areal is a proprietary typeface. Nebula Sans is an open source (SIL) typeface.

Or passing the income to it's creators

from the article, pareto frontier for open source models is completely dominated by GLM now.

Well, it will be interesting to see where Qwen3.8-Flash-Next ends up landing, also released today. These are exciting times!

I find GLM's idea of fast/flash is not really competitive with the speed DS4 Flash has, and it's hard to see them as being in the same segment for that reason.

Even vision? Thought k3 might have an edge there

This. Probably to work on Anthropic's SDKs and tooling.

makes sense, it kinda not super useful once xcode added native AI coding features

There's Alex (https://www.alexcodes.app), YC-backed.

Most likely a CSS rendering issue. I'm seeing proper/normal output on macOS Safari.

Claude is omitted, because Claude is the only agent that still doesn't support the standard filename convention.

The website could mention that. Since I did not discover this website's affiliation with OpenAI until I found the GitHub repo, I had assumed that this is purely an informative website, and as such I expected it to mention the agent tool most people I know use (Claude). Even if that mention is "Claude does not support this yet".

The text rendering is impressive, but I don't understand the value — wouldn't it be easier to add any text that you like in Figma?

If you mass-publish chatgpt generated books on amazon it might be pretty useful.

the value is: the absence of text where you expect it, and the presence of garbled text, are dead giveaways of AI generation. i'm not sure why you are being downvoted, compositing text seems like a legitimate alternative.

it seems like the value is that you don't need another tool to composite the text. especially for users who aren't aware of figma/photoshop nor how to use them (many many many people)

And if you want the text to faithfully follow the surface of the object (ex tattoos) I don't think the post AI gen manual editing approach is going to be so straightforward.

I bought a life-time plan a few years ago.

Feels like a no-brainer investment.

I don't think an LLM would recommend an edit like that.

Has to be a bug in their rule-based system?

Gemini: "Was trulyn't" is a contraction that follows the rules of forming contractions, but it is not a widely used or accepted form in standard English. It is considered grammatically correct in a technical sense, but it's not common usage and can sound awkward or incorrect to native speakers.
