Hi all. I would like to share a software/script developed in python (a little known application). The essence of this software is to automate participation on a site like SteamGift (I think a lot of people have heard of it).
So the essence of the work is to use cookie PHPSESSID, through which produced parser on the site and the adoption of participation in giveaways. Bot works only if the script or *.exe attached to the repository is running.

If you are interested, I suggest you go to the link and get acquainted with this application. Thank you for your precious time, have a nice day

Thank you for the brave statement. I am an immigrant from the former USSR and have the same exact observations.

Somehow the boomer generation convinced themselves, when young, that youth was wiser than age, and then neither their kids nor grandkids got any guidance.
It's actually pretty fascinating if you spend time in SE Asia. Chinese have been immigrating to all the countries for centuries. There are super old communities of Chinese in Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, everywhere in fact.

And they are often a distinct community, with their own language (a dialect from where they came from in China). They were often economic migrants, so tend to be seen as a "merchant class" in these countries and hold quite a lot of political power.

The Peranakan in Malaysia are a good example. And there is continued strife in those countries as these Chinese-Malaysian often have much more political power than their numbers alone would suggest.

and having noted the reasons for ISO EBNF failure

They didn't mention what IMHO might be the most important one: ISO EBNF is different enough from traditional regex notation that it's uncomfortable to read for those familiar with the latter. (At least it's not ABNF, which I think is even worse.)

That said, it seems the majority of grammar notations I've seen use | for choice, ? for zero or one, * for zero or more, + for one or more, and ( ) for grouping, with implicit space-concatenation (higher precedence than choice, by analogy with multiplication and addition). This is essentially standard regex metacharacters, and context-free-grammars are a step above regular grammars, so it's not surprising that such a notation developed.
No, quite the contrary, it's to conflate hype around AI with racism and misogyny.

The idea that AI is going to replace humans is anti-human rubbish. You're basically saying humans are shit and we don't need them. That's why tech companys are going to be laying people off.

The fact is, it is tech CEO's who are going to be out of work, as their business models are failures and society are going to realise it and move on.

We've been four months without the world being in thrall to mass-hysteria about something from silicon valley. Better gin up the next ridiculous hype train.

Meanwhile, the job of a developer now is basically the same as it was 15 years ago, 30 years ago, or even 45 years ago. And the only way we can imagine an end to their "slavery" (okay, not slavery, but meaningless toil on the hairbrained fantasies of well-financed frat-boys) is to turn around and tell them "you are nothing more than a machine." Just as tech bro's now condescend to cleaning staff by telling them they'll be replaced by "Suckio" - silicon valley's new AI vacuum cleaner. All the time, lacking any insight or sense of irony, that LLM's are much better suited to replacing the jobs of CEO's.. producing endless puffery that lacks factual merit. Cleaning is the last job the AI's will take.

Edit: for grammar

Announce HN: PitchArchitect: AI-built and guided startup pitch decks
I'm doing the HustleGPT challenge, where you direct ChatGPT to be the CEO and you are the irl human counterpart.

I picked the idea of AI-guided pitch deck creation and have been following HustleGPT's directions. ChatGPT wrote 99% of the code for the site and I have deployed it following their directions as well.

The most exciting feature I have prototyped before on Android and am excited to build for web is an interactive audio experience: Answer rapid-fire questions through voice input, and let our AI transcribe and organize your responses into a cohesive pitch deck.

The next step is to send a survey with questions to help validate the idea. ChatGPT and I wrote the survey questions but I haven't got any responses yet. We decided to build a mailing list of interested people first and then ask them. Maybe you are interested?

Part of HustleGPT is building in the open, I tweet all the progress:

https://twitter.com/PitchArchitect

FWIW I wrote this whole post, not ChatGPT :)

If you want to answer the survey right away and not wait for a mailing list to go out, here it is:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScbAEZ3biJa2GvryCsU...

Also, I will provide early access to the site to those who answer the survey! (once we have built some features out.)

This was cathartic to read. The almost complete lack of calm, productive discussion about AI is honestly frightening.

No matter where you land on this issue, you have to admit that there is a credible chance of significant societal changes in the near future. But instead of discussing how to best manage these changes or how to support people who may be negatively affected, we waste our time with petty squabbles.
> What are the best defenses for AI builders against malicious tools like this one?

Technically? Incorporate Glaze into the training process.

Glaze takes advantage of an ML model's fragility towards noise and uses that against the model.

The simplest way of incorporation is to run Glaze on all of the training data, whilst duplicating

Glaze, reductively speaking, is the adversarial part of a GAN, wherein MidJourney/SD is the generator part of the whole system. What's happening now is that the adversarial part of the GAN is purposefully producing noise to throw the generator off of its rocking horse, and now the generator needs to learn to "remove" said noise when training.

You answered the question yourself: they're laborers, brought in by a third party for a specific purpose like construction, living their lives entirely controlled by the company (housing and food provided, etc) and kicked out as soon as they become unneeded.

Expats have a great deal more agency about their lives: where they live, where they work, when to return, etc.

To be clear, I don't particularly like this distinction, but it absolutely is a thing in the Middle East down to separate immigration lines at airports, and if anything glossing it over by calling the Bangladeshi construction worker living in a container in the brutal heat and sharing a latrine with 50 other guys an "expat" does nobody any favors. Or was the American South powered by African "expat" labor too?

> Increasing wealth inequality has tangible negative effects on the economy and effectively functions as a reverse tax.

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say. Inflation either spikes up because of increased of demand, or lack of supply. In our case, both have happened:

* Increased demand because free money is hitting the bank accounts of almost everyone.

* Decreased supply because of supply chain bottlenecks, when every vendor canceled their orders in anticipation of a lack of demand (which never happened, with Covid), and then all of a sudden had to place again the same orders. Since every vendor practiced Just-In-Time order of all parts, the sudden demand (or - to put it in other words - the "lack of demand" which never happened) put them in a though spot where everyone was re-ordering the same parts again, but factories had to start with a fresh order queue.

This is not a "wealthy people problem", this is a "everyone is creating demand" problem. Wealthy people cannot create inflation in common goods because they are both outnumbered by regular folks, and because there is not too many of them anyways. How many eggs can a wealthy family purchase anyways? The demand of wealthy people is otherwise focused on goods that are not affecting the rest of the pyramid (does anybody care if yachts are price inflated because too many wealthy people buy them?).

Easy access to money caused inflation along with a supply chain bottleneck, the easy money that caused inflation was not ~2-3% loans that were accessible for 13 years prior to Covid, it was PPP loans, stimulus checks, and student loan pause, which all combined was given to pretty much the entire population of the US. Next thing you know, inflation is up.

I am not saying that people didn't deserve handouts for a very unique and though time in the history of their lives (Covid), I am just making an observation with the benefit of hindsight.

> Programming would imply dictating what logical paths the model takes to transform input to output.

I don’t hold this definition of programming, but if that’s yours then you’re right, we’re not programming models. But I think you’re anthropomorphizing these models a bit more than they deserve.

> I also don't follow how human productivity is bad for humans just because it's done under auspices of capitalism.

I never claimed anything like this. I believe that we should not be forced to work to survive, especially when a human’s worth seems to be arbitrarily determined by whether they can produce the specific thing deemed valuable by the market. How is that not degrading?
It at the very least sends a message about what our society values.

Something I noticed is at least nominally rewarded by the tax code: be married, have kids, buy a house, save energy, give charity.

All the right messages.
This project and a lot of projects in the future will be in a similar vein. Something that appeals to the fear of being cheated or made irrelevant by AI by returning primacy to the human.

It all seems good intentioned but also naïve, like when robots take over doing all surgery and massively reduce the risk of accidental death, surgeons will get together and insist they ban the robots and that humans still do it better, even if they don't.
I don't think it is. I remember looking for it in my ebook version when this connection was asked in a previous HN discussion and not finding it. I think it is unique to the movie, even if the idea does have some thematic connections to PKD's ideas.

I wonder how the rates compare with heavies v fighters. The heavies fly a lot longer, but aren't sitting 6-9 ft behind a radar, or breathing MSOGS.
I know that middle-brow dismissals are frowned upon but I want to write this anyway: I will never believe these types of studies without either a control group or better measuring of confounding variables. Health & happiness and marriage both have giant confounding variables like meeting a great partner and being a good partner. The authors claim that they accounted for this but I don't see how. The study is here[1].

> an unmeasured confounder would need to be associated with both incident marriage and mortality by risk ratios of 2.45 each, above and beyond the measured covariates, to fully explain away the observed association between marriage and mortality.

I may be interpreting that incorrectly and would appreciate corrections but why is it so unreasonable that meeting a great partner and having kids and thus wanting to strive to be healthier happier person would decrease all-cause mortality by a factor of 2.45 over someone who hadn't accomplished those things?

Think it’s much more likely meat eaters would be the ones doing the killing.
Well, I don’t know anything about these codecs but the article says that they are widely recognized as superior. Are you countering that?

If they are superior and some people are willing to pay for that, I guess that is why they exist. Charging for them seems perfectly fine as long as they are not abusively using some form of leverage to do so.

Giving away the encoder side seems smart but it also seems to indicate that the demand is not great enough for them to easily monetize both sides. It may all go Open Source eventually.
Since I haven't seen it yet, I'll throw the notion out for dissection: Is this economic warfare (maybe against China)? Was the SVB run triggered by specific, identifiable individuals, whose ties to whatever states could be proven or disproved? The other banks likewise, are they all dominoes or were they kicked by linked forces?

There's all this commentary about how easy these bank failures were to see and how widespread the instabilities caused by interest rates rising are. It's easy and fun to be Captain Hindsight but really, no one whose job it was to foresee and prevent these things, saw this coming? No one suggested steering the banks a bit better?

Was the base motive profit or "break shit"?

Human beings, especially young people, need social pressure to help them make good decisions. Do you think if you go to dinner and all your friends order a salad instead of the deep dish pizza, that doesn’t make a difference?

The fact is that most people think they’re special, but they’re not. Modern American society gives people this illusion of choice, and they’re paralyzed by it. But for maybe 80% of people, it’s not going to get much better than getting married, having kids, and working to put food on the table. Socializing the next generation of workers is probably the most you’re cut out to do in this world.

There are questions that should be asked but wont be and ones that could be asked but shouldn't be. It depends a lot on the persons, their relationship and the context where the lines are but if its just a bot you can ask anything. The answers would somewhat depend on your role but they wont depend on who you are or how few or how many questions you've used up in the last hour, today, this week, this month and this year.

So you agree that the LLM has patterns

And you agree that all those things are patterns

But you are arguing that they’re not… doing the patterns explicitly enough?

Please. The bar you’re describing is already something we can half ass and something we will be able to do explicitly very soon. The LLM can write code. If we just let it delegate the execution of that code to something that isn’t an LLM you can generate your explicit ontologies very easily. imo this is so obviously near term it’s uninteresting to fuss over it not being here in the oresent
