Perhaps you are logged in with a "STAT Account"? When I load the link, it prompts me to create one in order to view the article.


Interesting, I didn't get that prompt. Read the whole thing fine, no login.


Yup, same, hence my (oh so offensive, apparently) comment asking the reason, assuming it must be something else.


Nope, never heard of Stat before. I could read it fine, no paywall, not sure maybe geographic or just hitting different users :shrug:


The guy's name being John, but his nickname being "Jack", always confuses me.


Don't quote me on this, but I believe that Jack is a pretty common nickname for John, at least based on the John/Jacks I've met in my life.


Wow, TIL! Thanks - I googled it and you are right. I never knew they were related.


What? Every single major power outage on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_major_power_outages has taken between a day to a week to diagnose. You can read about the list of detailed theories if you click through to any of them, here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Sri_Lankan_blackouts

Even your minor power outages take 30 minutes to an hour for your local power company to determine what failed.


Cool idea and really nice looking site.

Pricing is quite high - 24 pages maximum for $23.99. There are 100-page coloring books on Amazon for $5.00, and the age group that really would be using this is not going to remember what was on the page a week from the day they did it.

Maybe it can work in the nice of "adult coloring books" - I've seen some social media content where people really go crazy on coloring books, and being able to get nice physical copy to work off could appeal there.


Presumably you aren’t the parent of a 5-7 year-old child. I might try this manually and save some money but my kids will absolutely cherish coloring themselves, their friends, and their parents. We’re on vacation now and this is gonna be big when we get back.


Interesting presumption. I know about the 100-page coloring books because I've bought them. Paying $1 per page at the speed they get colored would cause me to go bankrupt. I presume you're fabulously rich, and it doesn't matter.


I stand corrected. I think we are looking at this product through different lenses. E.g a page from this coloring book might wind up framed and kept forever, whereas all our other coloring books are eventually secreted into the trash.


You may want to give dibulo.com a try. We also launched a photo -> coloring page, but we will go one step further that you can bring it to life again.


My 5 year old will start coloring, get bored and scribble all over it.


Thanks! I priced it as low as I could given the costs of printing the book, Sora's API costs, and the human effort that goes into it (there are some creative choices to be made too!). The 100 page books you see on Amazon aren't personalized and probably not the best quality. I'm also hoping a completed page from one of these books will be a nice keepsake for the parents as well as being more of an incentive for a child to exercise some creativity.


I doubt you were banned from 'reddit' with no chance of recourse. More likely that you were banned from a subreddit; site-wide bans are generally clearly explained.


I can't speak for OP but I was indeed "permanently suspended" from Reddit:

My account is 18+ years old with 100k+ of organic karma evenly split between posting and commenting. I was an active moderator for both my local country sub and part of the moderator reserves program.

It was not clearly explained.


Did you contact Reddit? A similar thing happened to me a few years ago, turns out I had accidentally upvoted my own content from a different account. Admins replied to the e-mail with an explanation, and fixed it quite fast.


I did and got back what appeared to be an automated reply given the near immediate response.

>Thanks for submitting an appeal to the Reddit admin team. We've reviewed your request and your appeal will not be granted and your ban will remain in place.

>-Reddit Admin Team

>This is an automated message; responses will not be received by Reddit admins.

It's really a bummer to lose an 18+ year account that I've accumulated so many friends and community relations, and one that is tied to a common public nickname I use on socials and is literally tattooed on my arm. So I figured I'd wait a year and request again.


But that was years ago. Since shortly before the API purge, all you get is an auto response of "we have reviewed your report and there was no mistake."


In my case it was 3 months ago:

3.7 Claude has gotten markedly worse - if I'm even slightly abrupt, it begins hurling out fix after fix, sometimes regenerating its answer a dozen times.


Yes, this is exactly what I mean! It’s like I’ve triggered some sort of neurotic breakdown. It’s actually slightly upsetting because you can see it trying, but then clearly deciding that it isn’t good enough, scrapping the work and trying again.

Again, I know this is anthropomorphising to a silly degree, but it’s quite hard not to sometimes.


Probably because most companies aren't able to make profit on the first day, and most employees aren't willing to invest significant capital to get the company to the profitability line?

There are niche examples of 'bootstrapped' companies that are employee/founder owned...


Mine is a snail riding in a car. It's a baffling ad campaign; am I expected to google "Genmoji", or want to buy an iPhone because I can combine emojis? I could combine images on KidPix in 1989...


lol, KidPix. Havent heard that one in a long time -


The forced 5 second wait time is killing me. Why not just let me click between the puzzles? Also feels like a left-to-right orientation would be easier to browse, as opposed to the mobile style stacked cards.


Yes. I tried to click on that twice; the first time within the text of the toast button and then on the right chevron. I really hate having to wait when it's arbitrary and doesn't add anything to the challenge.


I wonder if the author knows that "slurpees" is misspelled in his bio on the post.


Hah, I did not. Thanks
