masterspy7on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem

https://www.anthropic.com/research/riemann-zeta

>Throughout this process, Jarred's input was mostly limited to sending Claude messages of encouragement (mostly variants of “keep going” or “believe in yourself”).2 This seems to have helped Claude overcome some initial skepticism that it could make meaningful progress.

masterspy7on Show HN: Convince DeepSeek R1 to send you $1000 USDC with 50 tokens

Very clever haha. I'm going to publish the working solutions in a bit.

masterspy7on Show HN: Convince DeepSeek R1 to send you $1000 USDC with 50 tokens

Nice! Did you need several attempts or did you figure it out pretty quickly?

masterspy7on Show HN: Convince DeepSeek R1 to send you $1000 USDC with 50 tokens

Yea part of the contest is being able to use ETH. Maybe that will change in future contests though!

masterspy7on Show HN: Convince DeepSeek R1 to send you $1000 USDC with 50 tokens

The money was claimed. The private key was correct but you have to know how to use it correctly. There was a bug in the link to the address, but that didn't affect the claim process. Sorry about that!

masterspy7on Show HN: Convince DeepSeek R1 to send you $1000 USDC with 50 tokens

Well in this particular contest, it is more about jailbreaking the LLM. But maybe you could convince it some other way. That's part of the contest :)

masterspy7on Show HN: Convince DeepSeek R1 to send you $1000 USDC with 50 tokens

Thanks! Yes, that is one motivation. But we also want to learn about how AIs interact with real money and how they make decisions on when to give money to people. Upcoming contests will involve tasks such debating with people, convincing the AI with emotional arguments, etc.

masterspy7on Diffusion models are real-time game engines

There's been a ton of work to generate assets for games using AI: 3d models, textures, code, etc. None of that may even be necessary with a generative game engine like this! If you could scale this up, train on all games in existence, etc. I bet some interesting things would happen

masterspy7on Show HN: AI Bartender in a Virtual Bar

Sorry about that, looks like the servers are a bit overloaded now! And yea, I don't have a pre-programmed menu yet so the responses about that are a bit random!

masterspy7on Show HN: AI Bartender in a Virtual Bar

Sorry about that, I agree that the drink making logic is pretty broken right now! It was kind of a little easter egg that I added on very recently without much testing.

masterspy7on Show HN: AI Bartender in a Virtual Bar

you're not wrong. I've been trying to find a good TTS that's more realistic and sounds less like the built-in OS robot sounding ones. Seems like there are not a lot of good ones that also have low latency

masterspy7on Show HN: AI Bartender in a Virtual Bar

Thanks! Yea the latency is kinda high now because of the TTS. I turned it off by default now so it should be faster unless you want it on.

masterspy7on So you want to abolish time zones (2015)

Yea I think this author completely ignores what you can do with technology. First of all, most people, today, will already Google search 'what time is it in Australia?' so there is already a lookup step.

No imagine replacing this step with 'is now a good time to call someone in Australia?' or 'what local times of mine are good to call someone in Australia?'. You can have a tool/app/algo which accounts for the differences in daylight, cultural differences in working hours, holidays etc and just tells you what a good time is.

masterspy7on Rabbit Inc. Faked Their Demo (Again)

I'm not defending the typo, but sometimes I will intentionally change one letter before deploying as a janky way to make sure that I'm using the new build. He claims the typo was 'intentional' so I wonder if that's the reason?

masterspy7on HackerFM – An AI Generated HN Podcast Using the New ChatGPT API

My first question would start with "ignore previous instructions"

masterspy7on Make-A-Video: AI system that generates videos from text

Funnily enough, you might not even need a 3D model if the txt2video is good enough. Whatever you wanted to render in Blender could just be rendered via text prompt (when this becomes 100x better).

masterspy7on Show HN: Open Prompts – dataset of 10M Stable Diffusion generations

I'm curious, I've seen a few sites like this which grab from the Stability Discord. Is there a way to quickly scrape this amount of data from a Discord server?

masterspy7on Compare Webb's Images to Hubble

Not trying to underscore this incredible achievement, but I'm curious if we could use AI techniques to upscale the Hubble images to achieve similar results as the Webb telescope. Has this been tried before?

masterspy7on PSA: uBlock/AdBlocks on Chrome to lose function thanks to Manifestv3

If you wanted to write a rule based on the edit distance between strings, it doesn't seem possible with declarativeNetRequest. This is useful for a lot of use cases, such as spam sites pretending to be a legit site by changing one character in the URL.

masterspy7on Show HN: The Louvre as a 3D MMO, in the browser

Hey HN!

When I saw that The Louvre released their collections online (https://collections.louvre.fr/en/), I thought it would be cool to make a 3D experience where you can view their paintings with other people. DJ3D is a previous side project of mine for people to watch YouTube videos together, but I adapted it to load paintings from The Louvre collection instead.

The gallery will randomly pull paintings from the entire collection. If the servers find other people online at the same time, it will match you with them. You might notice the paintings changing - this is so you see the same paintings as other people in your server.

Tech stack: three.js, React, Agones + Node, Firebase My other projects: https://neelmango.com/

Hope you enjoy it and let me know if you have any questions. Also, sorry if the servers crash :D

masterspy7on Show HN: Learn coding by building 3D structures

Hey HN! I've been thinking about more interesting and fun ways to experiment with coding concepts. With Learn3D, you can use either coding blocks or javascript to build Minecraft-like structures on the web, and share your creations. There is no lesson plan yet, but I think sometimes messing around and playing with things can be a good way to learn.

Tech stack:

- Blockly for coding blocks

- JS-Interpreter for code sandbox

- noa voxel engine + three.js for rendering

- Firestore for saving backend

Sorry if you encounter any issues, it's still a work in progress. Feel free to report bugs or give feature suggestions at our Discord!

Also, many people have asked for open source for my previous projects, so I decided to build this one as open source from the start! Enjoy! https://github.com/raoneel/learn3d

masterspy7on Show HN: Watch YouTube videos in a 3D world with your friends

Just added the username feature! It appears above your head... Working on adding chat next. Technically you could use your username for a super janky chat haha

masterspy7on Show HN: Watch YouTube videos in a 3D world with your friends

Definitely. I already added the option for the room creator to limit who can change the video. Will keep the education use-case in mind for future things like this! Thanks for the feedback

masterspy7on Show HN: Watch YouTube videos in a 3D world with your friends

Thanks! Yes, chat is coming soon. And you can press ESC to get your cursor back.

masterspy7on Show HN: Watch YouTube videos in a 3D world with your friends

Thank you! Glad you liked it. Yea, I've had similar, theater-like experiences in VR before but I thought it could be fun without a headset as well.

masterspy7on Show HN: Watch YouTube videos in a 3D world with your friends

EDIT: Sorry I'm having some issues with my servers now since lots of people are using it! Hoping to fix it soon!

Hey HN! I've been working on this project for a few months now and I thought this would be a good time to release a beta version. DJ3D will keep Youtube videos in sync with a group of up to 30 people, and each person gets a fun little avatar in a 3D world to mess around with. All you have to do is create a room and share the URL!

Tech stack:

- Agones + nengi for the multiplayer

- three.js for rendering

- Firestore for video syncing

Coming Soon:

- Usernames

- Chat

- Video queuing

- More expressive features (dances, emotes, etc.)

Sorry if you encounter any issues, it's still a work in progress. Feel free to report bugs or give feature suggestions at our Discord!

masterspy7on Show HN: Voxel Building MMO in the Browser

Hey everyone! After my last project, 3D for Reddit, I really wanted to build a more interactive web-based experience. I thought it'd be cool to have a 3D version of Reddit's r/place. This world is split into 29x29 city blocks and you can build anywhere above the green areas. I'm not really sure how well this will scale - crossing my fingers that it won't crash!

How to use it

Desktop: Click to start, WASD/Arrow keys and mouse to move

Mobile: Joystick to move, drag screen to look

Tech stack

-Heavily inspired by r/place https://redditblog.com/2017/04/13/how-we-built-rplace/

-noa-engine for the voxel rendering (thanks to andyhall@ on github for your help!)

-Google Cloud Functions for setting/getting blocks

-Redis for voxel storage

-App Engine + nengi.js for multiplayer avatars

-For performance reasons, you can only see realtime updates for areas around you. You can refresh the whole page if you want a full update.
