Show HN: Chess vs. GPT – play chess against ChatGPT
hey folks,

around a month ago, when openai first announced their api for gpt-3(.5), i jumped at the opportunity to create "chess vs gpt" to recreate the absolute chaos of the "stockfish vs chatgpt" game

after some time fixing (a lot of) bugs, it's now in a "full" release state!

it translates your move in to algebraic notation, sends it off to chatgpt, and asks it to make its next move. a good chunk of the time it's a legal, valid move - the rest of the time it's chaos (capturing its own pieces, spawning new pieces, making illegal moves etc)

feel free to try it out and see if you can beat chatgpt!
I'm pretty sure Monster.com is in the list of trademark trolls for monster things.
It's way too late, pandoras box is open, and it's entirely the wrong approach to try to halt or slow research in any case IMHO.

With GPT-2 etc, while impressive and even useful, it wasn't entirely clear what the returns on further investment/scaling were going to be.

I think GPT-3, and especially GPT-4 has shown that as you scale beyond certain points, you get vastly better results.

So the race is now on toward full AGI, and as with all competitions, the winner takes all or nearly all.

If the most ethical companies halt or slow research, then progress will be dictated by less ethical companies. And IMHO 'less knowledge' is rarely the answer to anything.

It may be a game that's better not played, and maybe we'll get a 'CND' movement some time in the future, but for now there's no stopping development, and I think it's important that the more ethical institutions triumph or at least stay in the race.
Invidious is an alternative UI that completely gets rid of the "shorts" garbage, so you might want to try that.
I think that’s the point they’re making…
My long goodbye to Windows XP (2022)
Yes, but the legal construct of trademark does not exist for that reason. They exist only to facilitate fair commerce.
Isn't the problem that both CONFIG_IBMVIO and CONFIG_PCI are defined?

I had to see what IBMVIO was, it looks like the IBM Virtual I/O Server. Although you actually fixed the bug, the other bug might be that IBMVIO is defined when it's "The VIOS is part of the PowerVM® Editions hardware feature"

Were you on an IBM power box?

I'm just curious, because the IFDEFs assume one-or-the-other as written. Is having both busses a valid configuration?
Doesn't your argument assume that there are no patterns inherent to language itself that can't be explained by intelligence?

As an extreme example, your argument could be used to support the idea that statistical fitting is impossible. Since any process that outputs the correct answer based on a process of memorization(e.g. fitting the data) would require a hopelessly gigantic "chinese dictionary" for all the possible input:output combinations.

Compression and entropy are super interesting, I don't understand this need to explain them away instead of trying to understand more about why this form of compression is so effective for language models.
I think you all are underestimating how much of a smoking-gun the magnitude of the gap is.
Hopefully they are not quite that stupid. Inflation is a lagging indicator, so expect it to start dropping fairly quickly as the -12 months price delta normalises, against the M2 injection 2 years ago.

M2 continues to drop (this is a bad thing for stability, but will feed into prices dropping over time):

For anyone interested, it's not Meta Language ML (as in Standard ML), it's Machine Learning ML.
Another data point. Sometimes I like a video, and later when I am watching with friends and see it again, I watch it again to show them. Apply this to partner, roommates, family, etc.
It’s pretty bad at this.

SceneXplain, yet another image captioning/explaining solution powered by LLMs
It's not an extremely unusual peripheral, but I use a rather nontraditional display with my Mac Studio, the LG DualUp. It's a 28-inch 16:18 aspect (square-ish) display with 2560x2880 native resolution (roughly the pixel density of a "4K display"). I use it rotated (for 18:16 aspect) and I love it. For general use -- web, photos, terminal windows -- it's great, and it's perfect as a dev machine, which it also is. I'm more fond of it than any display I've used in the past.

The display in my setup: https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/52345176302/in/album...
Monster Energy tries to bully indie dev out of using the word 'monster'
I am starting to question whether I want to click any video now, because I have what seems to be an extremely wide range of interests. Yet I f I decide that a single video on berry picking in the Himalayas might be interesting, I fear I will get nothing but Himalayan berry picking suggestions for the next hour or day.
> Screw it, charge $30 for the game and let it be a one time purchase, no micro transactions aside from content like new maps years from now, and no free version. People will still buy it because its mariokart, just like they buy the $60 version for their $300 switch, or how they buy skyrim 4x for each platform it gets rereleased on.

I disagree.

Mobile gamers are used to free or almost free mobile games. Additionally, the mobile experience isn’t (currently) designed for the harder-core audience that pays $30-$60 per game.

If they had charged $30, they would have been laughed at, and the app would have either flopped, or they would have had to eventually convert it to a free/microtransaction model.

I’m glad Nintendo is pulling out of mobile, and was disappointed when they initially entered.

If/when controllers become a mainstay for phones, things could change (for the mobile market). But I’m still not optimistic.
My intuition is that it will not change. I feel like there are two classes of people who use Brave:

1. Hype driven people who crypto ads work well on.

2. Privacy driven tech people who are pretty much non-monetizable.

Self-service ads are useful for small to medium-sized advertisers who want to target specific niches with pinpoint accuracy. If Brave's whole thing is that they protect your privacy from targeted ads, and also they lack the scale to be useful for non-generic ads, then I'm not sure any of this makes sense.
Cool stuff. I think agents are the most promising and potentially revolutionary part of the current LLM developments. Moreover, they're quite easy to write yourself, you don't need something like Langchain, the prompt structure is simple and it's a bit of text templating (it's all based on the ReAct paper[0]).

That said, the bit about "The trick to avoid hallucination" in the attached blog post is a very neat idea. Obvious in hindsight, as it often is:

> So the trick is that we send a stop pattern which in this case is when we see Observation: in it’s output, because then it has created a Thought, an Action and used a tool and hallucinates the Observation: itself :D

> This stop parameter is a normal parameter of the OpenAI API by the way, so nothing special to implement there.

In general, it's magical when you put these things in a feedback loop. The way they can automatically respond to errors and adjust their actions is really cool - take a look at the last gif here[1].

My exact experience, and it happens with other prominent Youtubers as well.
The game had a lot of downloads, no? Plus what I'm proposing is not exactly what they did with super mario run. That game was just basically like a lite+paid mobile game release that was typical before in app subscriptions iirc. Drop the lite version, and force people to pay in if they want to play at all just like with a physical video game.
Meanwhile Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. proliferate madly.

Selective blindness.

Started in 1984 at 5.85, ended in 1994 at 6.14, after breaking the world record 30 times, I think, took 20 more years for someone to beat his record.
The numbers are actually the other way around: there are far more Olympic medalists than there are people who (are believed to) have lived over 110.
We are fighting through this at the moment, trying to get equipment to new hires in India. There are plenty of authorized resellers there, but for reasons I don’t understand getting wire transfers to them reliably has been not possible.
In theory here’s the ideal workflow. This assumes you have an Apple Business Manager account set up.

1) Get reseller ID from the reseller.

2) Add that reseller ID to your Apple Business Account.

3) Ensure that your Apple Business Account is set to auto-assign systems to your MDM.

4) Provide your Apple Business account ID to the reseller when ordering and instruct them to register the purchase with your account. Have them ship the equipment to your employee.

If all of this happens correctly, the machine will register itself with your MDM upon first connection to Wi-Fi during the initial setup wizard, and will configure itself according to your MDM.
Beyond that there are also lots of parking garages in many cities that you also need to count. And some underground parking as well, just in case there wasn't enough parking.

This also implies that there are lots of cities are far higher then 20%.

And if you add street lanes (usually far, far to much) you have an absurdly absurd amount of space where you can put bike-lanes.

Again, beyond a few very old cities, US cities can all easily accommodate waste bike lanes.
Leave a negative review for your government thats a ridiculous amount of charges for an import.
My problem with that is marketers understand that disliking something can be a strong signal to make you watch more of the same, because social media sites like to rile you up. Engagement is engagement, and I suspect YouTube often feeds me things I don’t like for that reason.
Now you have!

> You hear a lot about "gatekeeping" and "elitism" whenever mobile gaming and traditional gaming are discussed

What? Whoever is discussing that is still living in ~2010.

I think itch.io is the anti-elitist platform these days... its certainly not Google Play/App Store.
Yes, therefore you should have bike lanes. Not sure what hard to understand. Or are you joking?
Goodreads is pretty shit imho.
I am beginning to think it borders on malice or something worse.
Usually my reverse-engineering tools give me pseudocode
I used a HHKB for almost 10 years, and the lack of arrow keys was probably an issue for a week. After that week, the motion of pressing fn and whatever keys then represented arrows was just effortless.

I'd still be using that keyboard now if the switches felt better. After ten years of heavy use as a programmer, they've either become stiffer, or I've become less tolerant (probably both) of the keys.

I'm on a simple Drop ALT now with key switches that remind me of the original Topre keys of the HHKB, but much smoother. I can't recall what they are exactly. No complaints after three years of use.
Usually I'd agree with everything you're saying. Look at the actual issues and the discussion on the first GitHub thread.

> We don’t know how they handled it. They may have handled the communication poorly, but regarding the security issue itself, we don’t know, because they didn’t tell us.

And maybe the moon is actually perfectly spherical, as God intended, being a heavenly body and all and those craters we see are actually filled in with an invisible undetectable substance.

Sarcasm aside, notifying users of an issue in a timely manner is elementary to security. Trying to sweep it under the rug does not make inspire even the smallest sliver of confidence in how they'll handle their next issue.

> You seem to be claiming that no software with any security features can have more than one security failure, ever.

No, but I do expect that a project that lists security as it's primary advantage [1] to at least make an integration test to make sure that files in encrypted folders/sub-folders are, you know, actually encrypted. If _any_ project out there keeps having the same bugs, then no, I would not consider them to be serious people either.

A slightly wider strip of paint and some barnacles isn't a huge spend.

Just widen one less road and it's paid for.

Also I don't think you understand how ebikes are charged or serviced.
I believed the same; it never seemed plausible to me that Amazon actually thought they could make drone delivery profitable. But... organizing an 850-person division which builds actual hardware sounds more like a real investment than just a PR effort.
Didn't the brand line Polo takes its inspiration from the sport though, given the logo?
> I'm sure there must be architectures that use a multiplexed low/high address bus, like a latch signal that says "the 16 bits on the address bus right now are the segment", then a moment later "okay here's the offset"

Most modern architectures do that, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDRAM#Control_signals for an older example (DDR4 and DDR5 are more complicated). The high address bits are sent first (RAS is active), then the low address bits are sent (CAS is active).
A 10x engineer is someone who helps ten people around them be twice as good.
Yes, it seems like one signal is no longer enough for it.
I did end up getting a copy, but looks like you found it elsewhere. The copy I found though the person who uploaded it does not want it shared on YouTube or any other platform.

Anyway, thanks for bringing it up, it looks interesting!

Agree. It's cringe and yikes.
Ugh, I'd say women's clothing is way worse than men's. No standard sizing, and too many faddish items. Women's clothes typically lack usable pockets and they are not as durable. Crappy fabrics that shrink and fade, horrible zippers that break...

That being said, you might want to go to Kohl's and try on Lee women's pants. Those aren't bad, although I hate the way Kohl's marks stuff up and then puts a normal price on it and calls that a sale.
I think a lot of people turn off because they test it out on toy projects. IME it becomes a lot more valuable once there's enough context for it to start building off of, rather than just helping you lay early boilerplate.
> if all you care about is the bottom line then sure I guess the casino is the way to go, but lets not pretend there's capital-A Art in those games the way there is on consoles or PCs.

This is why the games I play on my iPhone and iPad come exclusively from Apple Arcade. There really is some great art there: Don't Starve, Stitch, Cozy Grove, Alto's Odyssey, Oregon Trail, and more.

The difference is Apple Arcade absolutely forbids the in-game microtransaction mess. You can see where it's been removed in games like Star Trek: Legends or Jetpack Joyride. What's really interesting is these are really good games in their own right once you get to play the game to earn the rewards and progress. The only thing standing in their way is the microtransaction crap, which is sad.
It's more like Apple suing an orchard for using the same word in their name... which demonstrates the real issue here is that Monster Beverages chose a word that is merely descriptive in an industry adjacent to their own market. Not an expert but maybe they would be better off making the scope of their market clearer rather than tilting at virtual monsters.
My internet died earlier this week. I put on a vinyl record (Paul Desmond) and sat on the couch enjoying the brief break from my digital life. Hoping to enjoy more simple times soon.

I think it might be interesting if Capcom decided to sue Monster Energy for trademark infringement.
Clever thought. And it makes sense from YouTube‘s perspective, because IMHO they often demonetize for reasons that have little to do with the interests of the listener.

The question is what constitutes a healthy diet, and particularly if the Mediterranean Diet is a particularly healthy diet or not.
My belief is that amphetamines help everybody focus and the powers that be needed a story that’s just so to rationalize giving drugs to kids. But the benefit for people with ADHD is greater than the benefit to people with normal amounts of concentration/executive function.

What I want to know is do people “without adhd” also feel the sense of peace and calm with a cessation of the need to constantly fidget and move?
I was unable to tell the difference between using auto delete and not.
Only if it's vertical speed and horizontal speed are the same. If you make it travel slightly faster vertically, it's going to look more equal when stretched to 16:9, and it's not going to follow identical paths.
Annoyingly, the phrase “we are like a family” has now been so spoiled by bad actors that we need to find some other way to describe our team dynamic now because articles like this are red flagging it!

We actually do exhibit many of the qualities of a small family (kindness, support, strong positive relationships, etc). Guess we need a new metaphor ;-)

> People don’t like bikes.

People don't like cycling within the current infrastructure. Not only would most bikes have to share the road with vehicles (and semis!), but car dependency creates vast distances to traverse - massive parking lots, wide roads, highways, etc.

Monster Train is one of my most played games on Steam. (And on Switch, especially in handheld mode.)

And somehow I missed that it's on iOS as well - time to download that immediately!

Monster Hunter: World would be on the list but I played it on console.
Really unfortunate how that was true for all Nintendo games I've played on mobile: Mario Kart, Pokemon Go, TCG and United. Seems mobile gaming is a lost cause.
It basically is. There’s a few test plants for steel made with hydrogen but nothing serious
I’m not sure. I used them because they are well-known figures, but the same thing happens to me with many other Youtubers as well.
In lots of cities you can add bike lanes without any issues, you don't even lose capacity. I would start by simply having save bike lanes along all roads.

Your suggest of making part of the grid bike only is also a good one, but its more radical.

People will not even consider that unless there are already many bikers using these roads. You need to first have a bike lane and then you can make the argument it should be expanded.

> would need much less repaving work

Bike lanes shouldn't be paved at all. Its much better to use tiling methods, better for water and repeatability. You never basically need to repave them if cars don't destroy them.
>I sometimes go weeks without realizing that I have literally zero cash in my wallet.

That's pretty much my experience in the US. I probably have the same cash in my wallet that I've had for 5 or more years ... if there's any in there .. duno.

The difference is that I have that experience because of credit cards.
Whoever at Monster initiated this shit needs to lose their job.

Marketing should be jumping down legal's throat over this sort of thing.
[1] WebGL finger print is device specific and persistent.
[2] Font finger print is device specific and persistent.
[3] TLS finger print is device specific and persistent.
[4] DNS is routed into USA by default. Incidentally, there are frequent dropped requests using this browser [5].

These are just a few that I spotted. Let's proceed with the discussion as though the above issues were not present.

After looking at the issue tracker, this project wants each Mullvad Browser user to look the same, per OS [6]. Blending into a crowd on the surface seems like a good idea, assuming the crowd was large enough, but that "per OS" detail is a big gotcha.

I personally don't see why a source-modified browser shouldn't be able to achieve perfect uniformity. It's especially suspicious to me that the Tor project never achieved it, despite having had multiple years of developer effort dedicated to this goal, and backed by funding. IMO, browsers should never have been flooded with so many uncontrolled privacy breaking features in the first place.

Modification of the browser is discouraged for any reason, including enhancing privacy features [6]. Now read that again, and this time assume hostile intent.

I mentioned in a different comment that the alternative to uniform blending is randomness. Some of the fingerprints in the browser are already randomized. Plausible randomness is far superior to trying to build up a large enough crowd and simultaneously solving the uniformity issues. The entire javascript engine should be ripped apart and reassembled so that all privacy invading features can only function for client-side specific tasks but cannot speak with the networking and storage features.

Until an electric car can be charged as quickly as an ICE car can be refuelled, until there are as many EV charging stations as there are petrol/gas pumps, and until an electric car can go as far on a charge as an ICE car can go on a full tank, I'm not interested.

I think iPads still have a niche with really young kids, but yeah, when you put it that way, they more or less conquered the tablet gaming market.
