Managed to get this figured out! Pretty happy with the result.

For those more dev-minded, check out @astro.build! :)

You can use any web framework you like on top of it, and it has support for server-side rendering, islands, and a bunch of other nice features.

This project may be of interest to you, @davidimel.com. It won't answer the above question, but it may be a good academic exercise. github.com/EvanZhouDev/...

I'm guessing the real question is whether Apple had the proper rights to use these images in their training. My pessimism says no, but they are large enough to do it above board. Given they have no public info on it though, and given the culture in the AI sector, I kinda doubt they did. (2/2)

While I am having a hard time finding specific info, Genmoji would definitely require some kind of training on a large dataset of standard images in order to understand what those objects are, and then something like a LoRA could be used to enforce their emoji style on the output. (1/2)

And now I have! (It was much easier than anticipated, I should've just done it right away lol)

Note: Still haven't thought about mobile!

Okay that's cool--thanks for the inspiration. (I swear I'm not just copying your website design 😭 it just looks good as a baseline and I'm nowhere near done)

Should also note that I have a mathematics degree, not a computer science degree, but I taught myself how to program from an early age and have plenty of stuff to put on my portfolio, I just need to actually finish my website and make it nice and presentable; right now it's mostly all on my resume.

Maybe not helpful, but I'm in the exact same boat with you. I feel plenty qualified for plenty of jobs, but everyone I talk to is only looking for very senior developers right now, and it's been that way all year. :(

So I just work on my company and portfolio in the meantime. Keeps me busy I guess.

Hey! :) I love this concept. I saw a few posts a while back about using Bsky as a comment system for blogs, but I haven't actually seen a half-decent user-side implementation until your website.

Yeah, seems to be specific to limits Mozilla has set on the Gecko renderer for mobile specifically. I posted in the Mozilla Matrix for answers, and while I didn't get any yet, I did notice a lot of posts about performance-related optimizations the mobile version of FF uses so I suspect it's related.

I have the exact same problem. It's a disease. 😔 On the bright side, I have some genuinely great domains.

Pixel 8 Pro on Firefox. Doesn't seem to happen on Chrome. I'm not sure if maybe Firefox's implementation of keyframes is incomplete, but I know I saw support for it was added somewhat recently. I'm just confused why I'd see different behavior on mobile unless it's somehow more outdated.
