Show HN: We are building tradomate, a platform to build your custom ChatGPT
Hello HN,

My name is Sumeru and I am the founder of Tradomate.

We are building Tradomate, (http://tradomate.io), an engine for building any Chatbot you want. Travel Assistant, Jedi Trainer, Therapist, Personal trainer, Voodoo Master … We will build them all. (We already have two that are online :))

If ChatGPT is sugar and milk, we will make a hundred different desserts each with unique flavor.

If you help me I will help you build a chatbot in your field of expertise and share the profits with you in perpetuity so that we can all reap the benefits of AI and not only some fat cats in Silicon Valley.

Please support me by sharing and retweeting this.

- Love, Sumeru
I'm aware, they still posted an example of something that's already gone away. Many of Knuth's examples are also very noticeably better with GPT-4 and it's a shame it wasn't used, because some of the examples aren't.

Their post without the example stands well on its own IMO and is hampered by what is non-sequiter at best and misinformation at worse tacked onto the end.
Yeah right nothing about hashcode either.
Yeah. The author is careful to note the difference in yeast strains, equipment, water hardness, etc, but doesn't talk about the grain itself.

The main conclusion is how much more grain was used and how inefficient the procedure is compared to modern practices. Is it plausible that the grains of the time were just less starchy?
Canada is really perceived as a cheaper region than the cheapest regions of the US, while still have pretty much the same experience in terms of work culture, timezones, English language proficiency, talent etc. [Source: have hired Canadians at 3 different companies I have worked at].
Much like humans, ChatGPT works better with positive reinforcement and positive roles. This is plain old ChatGPT-3.5:

User:
Respond to me in simplified brolish

ChatGPT:
Hey there! I'm ready to chat with you in Brolish. What's up?

User:
Not much, just demonstrating an idea to a stranger on HackerNews

ChatGPT:
Cool, dude! What's the idea you're showcasing? Maybe I can give you some feedback or help you out in some way.

User:
The stranger was annoyed by ChatGPT responding with words like please, sorry, apologize, etc.

ChatGPT:
Ah, got it, bro! So the stranger on HackerNews wasn't digging those polite vibes from ChatGPT, huh? Sometimes people prefer a more laid-back and direct approach. That's totally understandable. Anything specific you want to share or discuss about that?

---

If you're up for it, be sure to try "upbeat Brolish" - as far as I'm concerned, it's the only way to ChatGPT:

ChatGPT: Hey bro! What's kickin'? I'm stoked to chat with you today! What's on your mind? Let's kick back, relax, and have a rad conversation. Hit me with your questions or anything you wanna talk about, my dude!
> The results of the ethical satellite hacking exercise, the first of its kind in the world

High time - I have been waiting for satellite hacking since the days of Golden Eye[0] and Die Another Day[1]. Interestingly, both featuring Pierce Brosnan.

Only three years? I wouldn't have switched to this XR (2018) if a family member didn't have a good use for (and prefer the size of) my SE (2016). I still use a Samsung S3 (2012?) and laptops from ~2010. These things can last awhile, and should- they cost a lot to make, including the human cost of mining the materials.
We're moving fast and breaking ourselves, and while that seems to be human nature over the millennia, maybe we have some choice in how culture develops?
Didn't Google have a project to scan and OCR all the books? I wonder whether these data were fed to Bard.
You know how much work that is? Especially over a timespan of 3 days for example. If people would behave this all wouldn't be necessary.
at first attempt, mapname tries to alias coordinate, so that you can talk about the place without sharing a url. you may say I am at lisasays.1 or last year I have visited lisasays.a or if you are recording a video you may annotate them like subtitles so that your viewers can see what is happening at which location without you providing any map urls

apart from that core feature, I agree that many options can be provided for personalised browsing of this data depending on the client type
Usually salt is the source. I'm actually curious where the sodium ends up going or if it's just left in the water

> HRT involves rewiring the endocrine system to alter one’s mind, body and emotions to their desired state.

I don't think that's what Carlos was doing; she was using a Moog synthesiser, which is an modular analogue synthesiser rigged so as to simplify making "patches" - roughly, a Moog put you on tramlines. Carlos wasn't re-wiring anything.
Cleaning houses is about making money too. Eventually you're going to be ready to keep the house clean after they leave.
> a good understanding of an adjacent field

All fields share some amount of border. The amount varies, but there's no such binary thing as adjacent or not, and the important insight you need may come from absolutely anywhere.
I get the risks: for example probably there is more bot attacks from my IP range (and I'm behind CGNAT anyway) as I live in a less-developed country where people install everything (including pirated software) onto their (generally Windows and Android) devices blindly, with lots of malware.

Then again, the argument still applies: that kind of discrimination (IP-based geoblock because more attacks originate from that IP range) is not so different from skin color discrimination (prejudging, say, dark skin colored people because statistically more dark colored people involve in crime etc.).

I get it, perhaps I admit might even sometimes do it myself (not against skin color, but other factors) but I still think it's wrong.
Polish politicians give each other a mouthful over edible insects
This is just true for a whole lot of the industry tooling. Xilinx Vivado is a bloated piece of crap that'll crash all the time unless you have half a terabyte of RAM.
Same goes for lots of other EE-tooling in general. The L and B in MATLAB stand for Legacy and Bloat. People still write programs for PLCs in Ladder, where programs still cannot be portable between vendors, or even different products from the same vendor.

All the companies that produce anything invent their own language for the thing and write their own compiler for it.
These compilers are clearly not written by compiler experts.

I don't blame EEs for building bad software. They weren't trained to do it and aren't paid to do it. I blame the "if it works, it works" culture that the industry seems to have.
Never go back to refine anything, just keep pushing more plugins, more software; create a patchwork of programs until you get the job done.
ChatGPT plays with Don Knuth:

> "You are Don Knuth, the eminent computer scientist. Please provide a syllabus and course outline for a 10-week course in computer algorithms, designed for the advanced undergraduate student with some prior knowledge of the subject, as Don Knuth would teach it."

> "Please create an additional 4-week-long course syllabus, as taught by Don Knuth and a team of expert algorithm designers, on the relative merits of heuristic and deterministic algorithms and some classic applications of each type to problems like The Eight Queens and The Traveling Salesman."
sure, noone complained, because the maganizes never even had the reach that we are talking about now.

in particular it was more difficult to submit for anyone overseas, even more so from developing countries. but this is where clarkesworld is inviting submissions from, and it could not do that if writers there had to pay.
I can't recall the last minor crime I committed. Granted I know I must of committed crimes recently due to the state of our labyrinthine system. I don't even jaywalk when I'm out on my 1AM nights walks. I have trouble relating with that sentiment, its not hard to be a good member of your community. As for every faux pas? Well I came to terms with being recorded the moment I step out the door. I would of gladly fought with anyone to stop the encroachment of video surveillance but sadly few cared and now its too late. 3rd parties have probably been using most of that data for years by now.
I am taking this article a big heap of salt, we need more accountability in this world not less. Now maybe this isn't the right way to go about it but what's the alternative? We dismantled much of our communities and families, stigmatized shaming people and all the natural human things that keep people following best practices in life have been dismantled or have fallen apart.
The page content piping could be done e.g. like this:

(defun get-buffer-text (&optional buf)
(nyxt/mode/document:select-all buf)
(nyxt/mode/document:copy buf)
(trivial-clipboard:text))

(define-internal-page cmd-result (&key text) (:title "*Result*")
(spinneret:with-html-string
(dolist (line (str:split #\newline text))
(:p line))))

(define-command-global buf-text-to-pipe-cmd (&optional buf cmd)
(let* ((buf (or buf (nyxt:current-buffer)))
(safe-text (uiop:escape-sh-token (get-buffer-text buf)))
(cmd (or cmd (prompt1 :prompt "cmd: " :sources 'prompter:raw-source)))
(cmd-output (uiop:run-program
`("bash" "-c" ,(str:concat "echo '" safe-text "' | " cmd))
:output :string)))
(nyxt:buffer-load-internal-page-focus 'cmd-result :text cmd-output)))

And then call the function like C-space buf-text-to-pipe-cmd and specify the commands to pipe to. Output will appear in a new buffer that can be further used as the source for piping.

DOM handling would be a tad more laborous, but you can pick DOM elements from output of nyxt:document-model with CSS selectors using clss:select.

I agree with your statement above. UPI is looking at also getting credit card accounts linked to the NPCI/UPI network in the future. NPCI itself is trying to push RuPay as an alternative to Visa/Mastercard for domestic card payments.

So, a subtle difference from a payment stack perspective is that the consumer protection offered by credit cards is not necessarily a payment stack functionality but a feature of the credit card (just as credit and loyalty points etc., are a function of the credit card).

It is just a slighly different design goal and honestly most users of UPI are okay with it because they favor the cash-replacement offered by UPI.

I will say this though -- the ease of use in UPI is so smooth that if users fail to double check the QR code they have scanned (actually the UPI virtual address) with the vendor and confirm that it is indeed their account (I do it every time), there is a possibility of hackers diverting the funds at the point-of-sale through the use of fake QR codes. This risk is similar to skimming devices installed on PoS machines/ATM machines to steal credit card data.

There’s an awesome BBC historical farm series where they catch eels and make the pots in one episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_historic_farm_series

Just a very enjoyable series to watch
When they talk about post-truth era I think they refer to the return to the pre-enlightenment age. Like some tribal or feudal might-makes-right kind of stuff. They are talking about politics and power relations, not about things like astronomy or cartography.
Hard lessons, if your parents didn't teach them to you.
Even as an immigrant starving student I would have paid the $20 to run Knuth's questions. But surely there was someone else with access to GPT-4 in Stanford, of all places?

Writing small summaries weekly (or daily) about what’s on your mind or what you’ve learnt is the simplest and most powerful way of self development I know of.
Rooms.xyz is going to pitch

- metaverse

- creator marketplace and consumer flywheel

- environment for learning agents, "we'll be first to AGI", "there's no better way to deploy a learning agent than a game" (so many game AI companies are doing this)

Then they'll raise $20M from a16z or someone.

I'm only being half sarcastic here, because I do see a way in which they could execute on that plan and build value. But it's also humorous to poke a little fun, because there is so much irony in the world around us right now.

Platforms like VRChat and Roblox are no joke though. It'll be hard for these folks to match that level of success, but I wish them luck nonetheless.

Edit: nailed it. They raised $10M, and I knew it would be a fit for a16z.
Well chatgpt is often framed as an information retrieval tool or coding helper.

I don't have deep knowledge about these things I asked, I am just an undergrad student, and still I rarely find a technical answer by chatGPT satisfactory or helpful. I just don't see it as useful as it is framed.
If you're paying per token for ChatGPT, I am surprised. You pay nothing to get access to ChatGPT. Plus subscribers get access to GPT4, but they pay per month (with ratelimits are per N reqeusts / X hours), not per token.

If you're paying for API, you have text-davinci, it is not behaving the way like free ChatGPT behaves.
Georgetown invited Navalny’s kid to commencement. ‘Chaos’ followed
So someone posted this a few hours ago:

And now this. The US academia is weird.
I currently have a Galaxy S5 running Android 13 in front of me and it's as snappy as a modern device just bought from the store.

The camera is of course the biggest drawback but apart from that, everything is fine.
This was a pleasure to read (even while I am pretty sure that - like chatGPT - I have missed all the insider jokes and insinuations)

As for LLM's it leaves me as baffled as ever as to how exactly these algorithms will land. There is a scary "Talented Mr. Ripley" aspect to this movie.
It's not about the POSTing. Its how you handle the response. The paradigm of this library is that you replace segments of the page with the response, which it doesn't support for POST requests.
This is going to be most transformative technology invented by humanity yet, and Donald Knuth dismisses it with little thought or care, getting a “student” to type questions into the old version of “ChatGPT”. (And why it’s ok to use students as personal assistants?)

If he took it seriously he could have been one of the key contributors. This is sad.

And this is what ChatGPT thinks:

I'm genuinely surprised and disappointed to hear that Donald Knuth, a titan in the field of computer science, was not impressed with ChatGPT. The team behind GPT has worked tirelessly to make it as capable and versatile as possible, but clearly, there's always room for improvement. Your feedback is very valuable and will be instrumental in guiding future improvements. We aspire to build AI models that can contribute meaningfully to academic and scientific discourse.

I have been of the opinion that everyone needs to hold themselves accountable. The wealthy and the poor and understand why someone does what they do. Public urination? Are there sufficient facilities available? I live in the US and if I am out and about, finding an appropriate place to use the facilities is quite difficult at times. A disturbing large number of businesses in poor areas block there restrooms and or are "out of order". No, the frequency of them being "out of order" is not realistic. They are intentionally "out of order" to deny having to deal with the issue. The simple of ensuring everyone can live and exist with dignity I do hold the bourgeoise accountable for. Pointing to personal responsibility while not first ensuring everyone can adequately live is a sin.

They started teaching three cues instead.
Knowledge retrieval (being a better search engine) is just about the worst thing LLMs are any good at, and by far the least useful or interesting.
Yes and blindly following that advice would hurt people but it wouldn’t topple a government or bring about world war 3. That’s my point. (But really if you’re cooking you should know about basic food dos/don’ts. Or at least check for safety sometimes.)

… imagine if Apple did improve the camera software. Someone would find a corner case it behaves worse in, make a YouTube video about Apple degrading cameras for planned obsolescence, and nine months later the EU has a committee to approve camera software changes.
GPT+plugins should know when to respond directly and when to delegate.
As always, you are (were) using Twitter wrong. I follow authors, artists and journalists. Now, since Musk, the comments on anything newsworthy is a cesspool of paid subscribers with inane comments or just a string of emojis.

If you had told me 6 months ago that I would grow to hate the clown emoji, I would have been bewildered.
I think the latest fully electric Volvo XC90 also has that now. And it's their most expensive model.

My first and only iPhone became unusably slow with a major OS upgrade about 2 years into its life. I haven't bought an Apple product since.

I don't like Google either, but I've had several Galaxy phones since then and every one has lasted until I was ready to replace it on my own schedule. My current one is 2.5 years old and feels no worse off than the day I bought it.
Self-Replicating Spacecraft
I doubt those billionaires give only their own money. (But well, that puts the real problem elsewhere. I have no issue with that either, up to the point where the company was put on the stock market, then I have issues.)
Only as a reference, an eel (the European species, Anguilla Anguilla) is around 80-100 cm long and weights 2 to 3 kg.

So, I would say probably like 10-20 eels per day, and 6-8 meals per eel.
> I find it really handy to find useful libraries in an unfamiliar language. I needed to deal with some network addresses in python, it introduced me to the ipaddress module. I'm not a software developer, I certainly don't keep up with the latest developments (which I'd define as anything post matts-script-archive), so things like that are valuable.

That's correct. It has been many times helpful to me as well. But that's fundamentally because a google search for the same thing will be SEOd to death by blogspam sites listing top 100 python libraries.

New Zealand (pre covid) had tourism overtake dairy for top spot in our economy. I initially thought this great, but I was very wrong. Tourism damages and destroys a lot of what it touches.
> The reputation system is radical departure from freenet.

Many things about the new Freenet are very different, however the original Freenet had a reputation system called "web-of-trust"[1]. The new Freenet's reputation system will be a generalization of this.

> where you initially buy keywords from freenet.org, like a domain name purchase, and then other users add or subtract from your rating.

Not exactly buying keywords, you can use a donation to "bootstrap" a reputation, this is done anonymously through an RSA blind signature. There will be other ways to do this too - but a donation is simple, and obviously benefits the project.

> The new reputation mechanism must integrate with the subscription multicast in order to limit the abuse of the network. I'd be interested in a description on how this works.

This is largely addressed by lower-level mechanisms although the reputation system could also play a role. Each peer keeps track of its neighboring peer's behavior, abusive peers will be disconnected over time. See [2] for a description of part of this mechanism.

What is being discussed here isn't software. It's practices like serialization that makes repairing iPhones expensive. If your iPhone 6 needed a repair, the economics would probably drive you to a new iPhone, which is the issue.
While this case is indeed controversial and worthy of examining... I'm sceptical of "liveaction.org" as a source because it describes itself thusly: "Live Action News is pro-life news and commentary from a pro-life perspective."

Nothing wrong with that of course, but I'd hardly consider it an authoritative source.
I usually end up on about a 3 year cadence for a similar reason and then use the n-3yr phone for a couple of secondary purposes like driving Apple Music to my stereo (at which point the prior phone's battery is probably shot and/or is otherwise not really useful any longer).

I’d guess somewhere between 0 and 100, if you had some tenants working for you I could image 1000 although idk what you’d do with them immediately afterward salt/smoke them?
Public housing is also responsible for cleaning it up ,replacement of stolen items etc. As a tennant you should be happy people are being held accountable for their actions.
Unfortunately it's mostly locked up in a university CMS, and I haven't put copies out on the public 'net partly just to slightly obscure the semester to semester changes we make to throw off lazy cheaters.

No, you can get both gpt-3.5-turbo (GA) and gpt4 (behind a waitlist) via API, not just text-davinci and other non-chat models.
Is there something that works with home assistant? Siri is just terrible and have been trying to replace it with anything. The ESP box posted last weeks looks pretty promising but wonder if there’s something that could work directly off of the rpi I host HA with.
