Comment on Show HN: Fully-automatic image background removal toolparent

Very impressive! It has some issues with uncommon hats though (which isn't too surprising):

I feel like RMS would be positively tickled to know that his hat had broken a commercial machine learning API.

And disappointed that his photos were fed to it.

If I was asked to cut the background out of that photo, I also would have been confused about that big circle behind his head.

It's Saint IGNUcius that is on that picture, he is a saint in the church of Emacs, and the halo on his head is an old disk.

The drive-by downvotes on HN have truly gotten out of control.

HN needs to again raise the minimum karma required to downvote.
