Today I discovered the origin of Taiwan Semiconductors (TSMC) and most of the semiconductor industry is my hometown of Nijmegen 🇳🇱

Also the company building almost ALL the machines used to create microchips/semiconductors in your iPhone, Android, MacBook, laptop etc is ASML, also a Philips spin off from Nijmegen

✨ Making an image editor for https://t.co/CcD1tdPqRy today, like DALL-E etc it lets you outpaint, inpaint, magic erase and fill stuff back up

You'll be able to remove things you don't like from a photo and create the exact photo you want

All vanilla JS + jQuery https://t.co/qoD0J11wAO

Got select frame box working and moving and snapping to grid, this box will then slice the pic and send it to outpaint and fill with a new image https://t.co/H9mATafyuh

Now able to grab the frame from inside the select frame from the canvas, that pic will then get inpainted once user clicks the button https://t.co/dQfFYIvtsP

Ok sent the image to server when clicking [ Generate ] https://t.co/pr6OW4zwSY

✅ And it works! Got the extended generated output back! https://t.co/vavqHgyK4D

Here without border https://t.co/tBjbdKTnQe

me: i think https://t.co/0v5AJ1SW38 is finally starting to give consistent results

photoai: https://t.co/LLOxqXSBSY

Getting rly good results now by using CLIP Interrogator on the copycat input images and the detected CLIP text back to the prompt https://t.co/ERvq9HRiqO

Just me or is Stripe Checkout breaking in Chrome? https://t.co/TUXgHyKf3t

I am in Asia tho so MITM could be it dunno

Okay maybe just weird Chrome extension, I wish Chrome showed which extension is doing smth on a page

Typeform

✨ Mini feature mockup for https://t.co/0v5AJ1SW38: search any photo on Unsplash to use as a reference pic to take new photos based on

Like "beach volleybal" or "guy coworking" and you can make a pic like that but with you or a model in it

Live tomorrow!

Idea from @Typeform https://t.co/4HnBNcZugK

e.g.  search "guy on laptop" https://t.co/dPocXTMRCg

Here's with [ 🙂 Face fix ] enabled which re-runs the face part to get better resolution/resemblance https://t.co/NVvQXV9p5n

✨ Upgraded https://t.co/eNKgTD2igu from Stable Diffusion 1.5 to 2.1 finally

It seems to get details of interior better than SD1.5

It took awhile because before https://t.co/FPf8JBOWbf with 2.1 results were really bad, feels like they improved it a lot now! https://t.co/8pOPMJIIAs

It was rly bad 5 months ago, but now good: https://t.co/BnAqsQgmvc

🚀 Reached $10,000 MRR with 📸 Photo AI after 3 weeks with 318 customers @ ~$31/mo

🦾 Bringing ControlNet to all accounts asap!

These are all AI generated photos (I'll add more smiles soon 😅) https://t.co/taVoYlwnPY https://t.co/ayhkfyzeCx

Just in time, my new project!

There should be a term for people starting with generative AI and staying up until the morning every night for the first weeks https://t.co/fNZiZagYRY

Ultra High Net Worth Individual (UHNWI) is >$30M in assets

In 2023 a typical SaaS multiple is 7-10x

Let's be optimistic @ 10x

$30M / 10x = $3M/y

So $3M/y as an indie makes you ultra high net worth already

$3M/y is "just" 2500 customers paying $100/mo, not easy but doable

UHNWI makes you 0.26% of world population

So that's potentially within reach for indie makers with just 1000 customers @ $250/mo 

Adding 1 customers per day with no churn you reach that in 3 years!

Just trying to flip the narrative that indie makers are lifestyle business low lives, actually many of them are and soon will be UHNWI first on paper and later in cash

Biggest benefit of indie is many are forced to automate instead of hire, so they're often extremely high margin businesses like 90% profit margin

Regular biz is 10-30% profit margin

So bold! 😁 https://t.co/fXxHmPHq4E

If you work at Linode and have some insider info about what's happening I'd love to hear it on my DM and will keep it private / anon and only publish if you want it

I need to know cause I host my stuff there
