thanks for checking it out. Our users aren't discerning design experts like yourself, but mostly small owner-operator businesses. The websites they make here are usually way better than their current one, that they've been meaning to update for years but don't have the time to.
It's surprisingly inexpensive! Our bill for the last three days (about 8k websites built) was around $75. Definitely more expensive than standard servers, but not too bad.
Right now for the full product (Durable.co) it includes a business checking account which is limited to the US - but everything else is available worldwide.
You can still sign up and use it, we don't technically limit anything geographically yet (except for that one feature).
I was curious about how GPT-NeoX would match up to GPT-3. It seems like the most capable of the freely available models (at least based on their specs). Of course more parameters != quality of their dataset, so I can't really conclude much in this scenario.
As far as I know, https://textsynth.com is the cheapest host and NeoX-20B model is cheaper than OpenAI's Curie. They have a Playground which allows you to experiment without an account.
Re Stable Diffusion:
Based on the results I've seen in https://hackernews.hn/item?id=33038117 and other services, if you just want some eye candy I think Stable Diffusion would work fine (and is much better looking than anything DALL-E could generate).
However I wasn't impressed by SD's ability to understand the meaning of my sentence, it seems to just create an image by mashing words together (and sometimes even ignores key words/meanings). According to commenters, DALL-E is much better at "understanding" sentences so if that matters for this site; then I guess you should avoid SD.
I disagree with this, I don't think it's a good look to use a free service with limited resources for something commercial; it's just bound to cause conflicts.
But this service (and their sister project for text generation) is incredibly cool and interesting, surprised I haven't heard about it sooner.
I gave it something I thought would be a "tougher" one than a massage parlor: a flying car dealership, and it handled it great outside of obviously not having access to a real flying car picture. The "about us" generated more of a testamonial, but it was coherent and on topic.
I built a Slack app that aims to recreate some of those physical signals by automatically managing my Slack status based on custom calendar rules (eg. collaborating, focused, out for lunch).
The goal is to allow all of our team members to control what their own day/communication rules are, and make those shoulder taps opt-in, not out.
I’m working on a tool to make that super easy (holopod.com).
We think we can solve for the impromptu conversations with a specified custom status that folks can trigger when open to a conversation (Eg. Water cooler, coffee break, etc).
I built a way to block slack notifications automatically based on your work state (Eg. Focused, in a meeting, on a call). It integrates with your calendar and desktop apps.
