I guess this is why they acquired https://www.limitless.ai/ ?

I'm working on Hispi (https://www.hispi.app) which is an AI powered tool to help people design custom jewellery (starting with rings). We use some image models and some text models to build the ring, estimate materials etc and then work with real jewellers in London to actually make and ship them!

Thank you for your feedback, will probably move the login screen a bit later.

For context, people have (unsurprisingly?) been putting some pretty gnarly things into the search box so its not obvious to me whether its good to let people put in things like "an octopus hentai ring" and pay to generate that or not. Probably there is a better solution.

Ha I only added this because my wife doesn't have gmail. I think this is a problem I don't particularly care about for now - I think the parent commenter is correct in saying that the account wall is in the wrong place, so if I move the wall to where the value is (speak to a jeweler) I can defer email verification for a while.

Thank you, this feedback is so so useful to me. Login gate when you ask to speak to a jeweller maybe?

> Probably also worth adding [..] a newsletter that aggregates the best designs every week.

Yep this is a great idea, thank you.

> Also, it wasn't obvious to me that the examples in the "Need inspiration?" section were generated, or that I could tweak those designs.

No, its not. I will work on this too, thank you.

It does! I had this running on a potato and I didn't realise people were actually going to see this! Very exciting!

EDIT: can you be a bit more specific about which part takes too long to load?

100% but in this case they uh… didn’t work on it, it seems?

Designing is free and gives you a breakdown of material choices and costs, then you can get a quote if you want to buy the ring. I'm working with around 50 jewellers in London and the UK's Jewellery Quarter but I think just designing a ring is pretty nice.

That is the point of saying "innocent until proven guilty"? Who does the proving? How can it not be interpreted in this way?

The point is that people should be able to use their own judgement on a wide variety of issues and not be forced to delegate their decision making power to the courts/third parties.

There's a difference between "we want to lock this person up and take away their liberty, so we should be basically certain" versus "look man he's been done for drugs and she ended up with a broken arm, I don't trust this person".

Ah good, I thought you were trying to imply there is an equivalent problem in the EU. Which would seem to be intentionally dense of course.

I would love to know what you do for a living and whether you personally have taken any smart risks that have lead you to financial success, or whether you just like sniping on HN about school shootings and pretending to be superior.

There have been 11 mass shootings in the US in the last 7 days so I don't think this disgusting competition is one you're likely to win.

Completely agree - I always thought the framing of "exercises" is the right one, the point is that your brain grows by doing. It's been possible for a long time to e.g. google a similar algebra problem and find a very relevant math stackexchange post, doesn't mean the exercises were useless.

"The fact that forklift truck can lift over 500kg should tell you how worthwhile it is for me to go to a gym and lift 100kg." - complete non-sequitur.

> a language for defining relationships between quantities

Could you expand on this? I don't see maths as a language for quantities specifically (i.e. what does symmetry have to do with quantities).

> just too tedious (but not impossible) for a human being to work through the proof.

Already happened with the four colour theorem arguably.
