OP here. As others have said, it loads immediately for me (tested on desktop + on mobile data + incognito)
The entire site is cached + Cloudflare sits on top of everything. I just ran a couple performance tests under the current HN traffic (~120 concurrent visitors) and everything looks good, all loads under 1 second. The server is quite happy at an average load of 0.06 right now, not even close to start breaking a sweat.
Turns out you can get off the cloud and hit the frontpage of HN and your site will be alright.
100% true, I've hit the front page of hn on a server with an old i5 (aka consumer hardware, and not even high end) with no cloudflare or similar caching, and had no problems. Computers are fast, and serving static html over https is a solved problem.
My guess is your caching was misconfigured in some way. It's fast for me now, but before commenting I tried several times and it always took at least 10s to load, often more. Others have also reported very slow load times. I was surprised because I saw at the time that it was behind Cloudflare. Disclosure: I work for Cloudflare.
I'm the OP of the Twitter thread – I've had the exact same experience: unrealistically low risk scores for most fraudulent transactions. There were plenty of red flags for each of them (400+ cards and 40+ names under one single IP, most payments got already flagged for credit card testing fraud early on before succeeding after many tries...) Even dumb heuristics would have blocked 90% of the fraudulent payments. I appreciate Stripe is fixing this quickly after making it public and refunding fees, but something is definitely wrong with their risk calculation algorithm.
I'm not sure these models are good at generating great logos yet, but searching for "logo design" returns a few good ones for me https://prompthero.com/search?q=logo+design
Thanks for the heads up! It may be that the filtered query yields no results and I'm showing a blank page instead of a message. I need to add a nice info message like "No results – please remove some filters" or something along these lines to make it clearer.
Try with a common query word like "cat" – filters work fine for me with all models!
Over the past two weeks I've been tinkering with NFTs and found out that most of them do not store their images on the blockchain: they're fully editable after mint. I thought this was against what most people believe NFTs to be, so I built a site to explore this problem. You can enter any ENS wallet or any Opensea NFT link and it will analyze it to tell you if the NFTs are immutable or not.
I also wrote a blog post [1] explaining the problem in a bit more detail.
Happy to answer any questions and hear your feedback!
