Tell HN: Help restore the tax deduction for software dev in the US (Section 174) (🔥 Score: 180+ in 41 minutes)

Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6vQJB

Companies building software in the US were hit hard a few years ago when the IRS stopped allowing tax deduction of software dev expenses. Now they have to be amortized over several years.
HN has had many discussions about this, including The time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44180533 - (927 comments) a few days ago. Other threads are listed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44203869.
There's currently a major effort to get this change reversed. One of the people working on it is YC's Luther Lowe (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=itsluther). Luther has been organizing YC alumni to urge lawmakers to support this reversal. I asked him if we could do that on Hacker News too. He said yes—hence this thread :)
If you're a US taxpayer and if you agree that software dev expenses should be deductible like they used to be, please sign this letter to the relevant committee members: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DkRGeef2e_tU2xf3TyEyd2JLlmZ....
(If you're not a US person, please don't sign the letter, since lawmakers will only listen to feedback from taxpayers and we don't want to dilute the signal.)
I'm sure not everyone here agrees with us—HN is a big community, there's no total agreement on anything—but this issue has as close to a community consensus as HN gets, so I think it makes sense to add our voices too.
Luther will be around to answer questions and hopefully HN can contribute to getting this done!

Show HN: AI game animation sprite generator (Score: 150+ in 1 day)

Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6vHJp
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6vHJp

I tried to build AI game animation generator last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40395221), a lot of people were interested, but it failed, mainly because the technology was not good enough.
1 year passed, there were a lot of developments in video/image generation. I tried it again, I think it works super well now. Actually beyond my expectation.
You can generate all kinds of game character animation sprites with only 1 image.
1, upload your image of your character
2, choose the action you want
3, generate!
Support basic actions like Run, Jump, Punch and complicated ones like: Shoryuken, Spinning kick, etc.
High quality sprite sheet will be directly generated to use in Unity and any game engine.
If you are an indie game developer, you don't need to high an artist or animator to develop you game.
For studios, it's 10x cost saving and 10x efficiency as no more creating animations for 100 NPCs 100 times.
Please check it out, looking forward to your feedback!
