The internet is amazing


fucking amazing


looks like a more error-prone automated vulnerability scan


is it somewhat right? I don't know much about factorio


Looking at it myself it's somewhat right, but it's an enormous pile of useless LLM blather - the response to "analyze the factory layout and activity" has nothing actionable, and most comments are generic ("well-organized and appears to be optimized for the efficient production of science packs"). Likewise the "analyze and optimize" requests don't seem useful enough for players to do anything with, though a lot of that is the prompt. As with most LLM stuff it just seems like someone threw a bunch of Factorio forum/Reddit posts in a blender and filtered out the stuff that was blatantly wrong.

Some specific errors I did notice:

- In the section with a processor unit subfactory, "The specific items being manufactured are not directly visible because the UI for the assembling machines is not expanded to show their recipes" is false, the player has pressed 'Alt' and the items being manufactured are shown. So this part of the response is plain wrong.

- " There are four distinct colors of science packs visible on the conveyor belts: red, green, blue, and purple, corresponding to the various levels of research complexity in the game." Only red/green/blue are shown. ChatGPT didn't make additional references to purple science but it was odd that it mentioned them at all.

- "In this Factorio image, we see a railway intersection that includes train signaling and a train crash" this is a deadlock, nothing has actually crashed. This is a minor nitpick but ChatGPT repeats the error throughout the analysis. And it also suggests that ChatGPT might not fully grok the "race condition" side of train scheduling, since deadlocks occur specifically because you're trying to avoid collisions.

I didn't want to spend too much brain calories reading all 20 pages in depth :) My general conclusion is that it's not useful enough for GPT-assisted Factorio play, and too flaky for any sort of automation of trivial Factorio tasks. I think it's plausible to make a FactorioGPT, but I doubt OpenAI's pretraining and RLHF resources covered this specific niche.


pixo é arte


I'm not arguing for or against that - I'm just stating a fact (there's a lot of pichação in São Paulo) and an opinion (I find it extremely ugly, even if I do like grafitti, including the more artistic and colorful tags)


> to separate it from grafitti (which evokes some form of art)

You seemed to be implying pixo is not art tho. Funny thing is, American use of the world graffiti was precisely to deride stuff that they didn't consider 'urban/street art'. Just some youth made graffiti tags...


I guess its because in context I meant to separate Art (as is human search for meaning and expression not for the purposes of survival and reproduction) from art (as in technically developed and aesthetically pleasing)

Pixação may be Art, but it is ugly (which is subjective)


I don't see how the distinction adds any value to the conversation. Besides, if you think ugliness is subjective, you should say you consider pixo ugly, not that it is. This whole 'capitalized concept' is sounds very pretentious to me. Pixo is art, you may not like it, but there certainly is technical development built into it and some people find it pleasing or it wouldn't exist. Insisting in keeping it out of some definition of art just seems to me like a way to deride it in a way that you can justify intellectually. I don't like it. I find it very ugly. But I don't feel the need to create some art category it doesn't belong to in order to justify my opinion.


more like lixo am I right fellas


We can’t really legislate what is art and what isn’t. The previous government wanted to make Brazilian art “heroic” and we all know how it ended.


Western modern culture has this nihilistic stroke of loving everything that is ugly and decadent.

For some unknown reasons, a certain segment of the petit bourgeoisie became convinced that is some sort of being highly sophisticated and cultured to pretend to love this kind of garbage.

And the funniest thing is that the conservative right calls this "cultural-marxism", when it is obvious to everyone who has ever read Marx seriously that he would probably abhor this kind of stuff.

Living in the late stages of capitalism is funny like that.


error 402 "This embedded plot has reached the maximum allowable views given the owner's current subscription." :c great reading tho


Yes, not a good look from plotty and SaaS in general.


Yes it's a nice illustration why you should not use a SaaS like plotly, especially considering that there are many options out there which could have put the plot into the post directly.


At the very least it's a nice illustration of why you can use plotly but just take a screenshot and post that.


I hate to defend plotly, because this is awful. But you can also embed interactive plotly plots, rather than depending on their service.


The HN hug-of-death at work


Maybe, although since the post is from 6 years ago, it might have been hugged to death already years ago.


What a terrible service


Never thought of this. I constantly scan the internet using nmap, or similar, for pentest/bug bounty and never had a problem


How are you pentesting without knowing the IPs of your in-scope targets?


If your scope is wide enough, everything is in-scope.


Some times you get a IP Range, or a domain-wide scope



Thought I'd comment to note that (as of 2021-05-14T22:07:00Z) this just does the alert() POC and isn't nefarious, if anyone is deeply curious enough to click but cautious enough to avoid a deaddove.jpg situation


Just fixed this a few minutes ago, thanks to those who told me about it! (look for v1.4.2 on npm and the corresponding commit on github)


doesn't work anymore >:)

with the pure speed of replit i went from issue opened to closed in like 20 minutes


Wait could you explain a bit more how replit let you fix it so quickly


Well, I use Replit as an ide and just hitting the run button meant my fix was immediately deployed. didn't have to push to git or wait ssh into a machine to pull from master and restart


Ahhh I didn’t realize replit let you deploy, that clears things up, thanks.


There was a CTF challenge a couple years back that we had to make a Python/PHP/Node/Bash polyglot "quine". Here is my write up https://medium.com/@caioluders/polyglot-quine-rctf-2018-cats...


Wow, that's really amazing!
