netsec_burn··on Navier–Stokes Lost in Translation
If you're responding to the parent post, as most of us are, the Lean proof is not irrelevant.
netsec_burn··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
Verification is equally important, if not more so.
netsec_burn··on Ask HN: Why were OpenAI, Claude, and Grok simultaneously down?
The OpenAI status page is still yellow. Like most modern status pages, yellow denotes the servers are on fire. Red denotes Sam Altman is bleeding out somewhere on the floor, the feds are about to bust in and shut down the GPUs.
netsec_burn··on Don't Paste the AI, please
Perhaps you meant to reply to a different post?
netsec_burn··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50% on OpenRouter
After using Claude for a long time, I tested Sol 5.6 for the first time today. Love it, its an incredibly capable model and uses far fewer tokens/time thinking. Its what I imagine Fable would be if I haven't been downgraded on every conversation - even after completing the verification program. I think I may cancel my Claude subscription finally.
netsec_burn··on Are AI Labs Pelicanmaxxing?
Addressed in the article, in case you're curious.
netsec_burn··on Frontier AI has broken the open CTF format
Speaking from experience, the LLM agents adapt fairly well to these contexts too. It's not at all FUD, you're at a significant disadvantage if you don't compete with AI now. I went to a CTF recently against teams I have won against every year, and within 10 minutes of the event starting they had solved every challenge. They have an agent loop and it solves everything immediately, so they won. Anyone attempting to solve the challenges on their own has no chance, even if you think "maybe this is too out of the box for LLMs". Furthermore, the DEFCON CTF you're referring to has quals, and if you don't qualify you don't get those challenges in the finals. Quals has mainly binary exploitation challenges which Opus (and others) solve as long as you hold the gas pedal down on your API bill. I don't believe it's hyperbole to say CTF is dead, as a competitor.
netsec_burn··on Claude Code removed from Anthropic's Pro plan
I can't even sign up for Max (last tried yesterday), their credit card processor has issues.
netsec_burn··on LLM Writing Tropes.md
Another trope: longer README.md's than anyone would make, or want.
netsec_burn··on MacBook Air with M5
I prefer the Dell Rugged line or Thinkpads, since a single water droplet on the keyboard is enough to kill this laptop.
netsec_burn··on Show HN: FlopperZiro – A DIY open-source Flipper Zero clone
Also the Kiisu which is 1:1 with capabilities, plus a few more.

netsec_burn··on Ask HN: How are you using LLMs for traversing decompiler output?
The allowed types are a bit misleading. Any binary is accepted, any architecture. You can upload shared objects, ELF executables, PE binaries, etc.

I like to give it bomb executables (reverse engineering challenges) to test it.

netsec_burn··on Ask HN: How are you using LLMs for traversing decompiler output?
I made a site to use LLMs to help me with reverse engineering. The output is surprisingly readable, even with C++ classes. Let me know any feedback you might have: https://decompiler.zeroday.engineering/
netsec_burn··on The 'Invisibility Cloak' – Slash-Proc Magic
I can answer the writing to /proc one. It is sometimes useful to hotpatch running programs with /proc/pid/mem.

netsec_burn··on OpenAI is good at unminifying code
I recently learned this too, just a few months ago. Ended up making a frontend so I could do it automatically: https://decompiler.zeroday.engineering/
netsec_burn··on Magic Wormhole: get things from one computer to another, safely
I've used wormhole once to move a 70 GB file. Couldn't possibly do that before. And yes, I know I used the bandwidth of the relay server, I donated to Debian immediately afterwards (they run the relay for the version in the apt package).

Not yet, I'm writing it. Will be available by the end of the month, feel free to follow the PR: https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware/pull/...
netsec_burn··on Open source AI is the path forward
How? They are prohibited from using it in the license.
netsec_burn··on Llama 3.1
Today appears to be the day you can run an LLM that is competitive with GPT-4o at home with the right hardware. Incredible for progress and advancement of the technology.

netsec_burn··on Google's Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive PDF files without permission
I fixed this by disabling the Photos app and using Google Gallery (on the Play store). It's the same thing as Photos for what I was using it for, without the online features.

netsec_burn··on Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic come to mind.

In TFA they name OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic.

netsec_burn··on Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Hit or miss, with significantly more hits than misses. I was able to build a useful cybersecurity service in about 6 hours leveraging Claude to write most of the code. It has certainly made me more productive.

> OpenAI has recently begun training its next frontier model and we anticipate the resulting systems to bring us to the next level of capabilities on our path to AGI.

netsec_burn··on Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Have you tried 3 Opus or 3.5 Sonnet? Are you using it for programming, or something else?
netsec_burn··on Claude 3.5 Sonnet
Opus remained better than GPT for me, even after the release of GPT-4o. VERY happy to see an even further improvement beyond that, Claude is a terrific product and given the news that GPT-5 only began its training several weeks ago I don't see any situation where Anthropic is dethroned in the near term. There are only two parts of Anthropic's offering I'm not a fan of:

- Lack of conversation sharing: I had a conversation with Claude where I asked it to reverse engineer some assembly code and it did it perfectly on the first try. I was stunned, GPT had failed for days. I wanted to share the conversation with others but there's no way provided like GPT, and no way to even print the conversation because it cuts off on the browser (tested on Firefox).

- No Android app. They're working on this but for now, there's only an iOS app. No expected ETA shared, I've been on the waitlist.

I feel like both of these are relatively basic feature requests for a company of Anthropic's size, yet it has been months with no solution in sight. I love the models, please give me a better way of accessing them.
