Relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48016224 what's the differnce between this vs running shannon on aws/bedrock fully airgapped in my vpc? I've got some pretty great results with shannon [no subprocessor and can pay via aws credits]. Even better using claude code token [effectively free with our $200/mo cc subscription] I tried kimi but it generally spins it's wheels extensively in it's thinking tokens. kimi2.7 is an attempt at reducing this. But doing finetuning, means you will always be behind the latest.

as a side note - I think it's very unprofessional and very shitty to not mention kimi2.6 at all in your marketing copy. and i feel that you posted that in this hn post begrudgingly since the hn crowd would have flagged that. confirmed with a google search too: https://www.google.com/search?q=kimi+site%3Aargusred.com

All around your marketing website you keep mentioning - 'A model lab built it'. A fintune does not maketh you a model lab - some humility please :)

finally - doesn't Kimi's licensing prohibit you from not mentioning them? Didn't cursor run into the same issue?

off-topic, but I've become quite intrigued with AI pentesting, after being very unhappy with the various pentest firms we've used in the past, that rip us off or do very mediocre tests (of course yeah yeah the really good ones exist but even then they're not going to match the speed at which we are claude coding now).

Tried a bunch of open source pentesters, including strix (though we never managed to get strix to actually complete.) this project called shannon was the only one that we managed to get working reliably and it definitely smoked the output of one of the $10K pentests we did, (we had just discovered shannon after we had gotten the pentest firm's report, so it gave us a good baseline comparison). caveat: this was white box and our pentest firm did greybox, but neverthless I was still very unimpressed by what I got from the pentest firm. $50 vs $10K is not even a comparison lol with far far better results and sent our cto into near heart attack mode.

i think the days of pentesting firms are over - especially with mythos/5.5-cyber etc like capability coming into play. very exciting times ahead!

Sorry to say but no contrarian thought in your comment.

I’m seeing lot of Hwang level energy here.

There is a lot of pent up National shame in Korea for not having won any Nobel prize. It does lead to some weird behavior.

I believe okta can integrate with payroll systems - new employee immediately gets access to all accounts. Not sure if Google can do this.

Check out Fern / my software friend was raving about. It solves some of the problems around OpenApi around codegen but maintains compatibility with open api https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34346428

“ The Stein collection contains over 1000 copies of the Lotus Sutra in Chinese, which were acquired by Sir Marc Aurel Stein in 1907 and 1914, when he visited the so-called ‘Library Cave’ (Cave 17) at the Mogao Caves near Dunhuang, in the present-day Gansu Province in China.”

Nice way of saying theft - Fuck colonialism!

AKA the one weird trick to shut up racists and eugenists who think nature is all there is to intelligence.

Jokes aside - you can replace Chinese with Indian too and still the same answer holds. There is something magical about Silicon Valley and it is definitely not about the salaries. Fwiw, bytedance pays in the 7 figures usd in Beijing!

and the Scaliens.

Don’t want to be that guy but why is this trending on the front page? This is a very basic rudimentary page a particular transistor - nothing interesting like Ken Sheriff’s analysis or Ben Eater’s videos.

I fear this too. As someone who had read a fair bit of the history of India, and how the British/east India company mind-fucked and pillaged them it scares the hell out of me. The after effects are still there even 70 years later.

Is the Donald trump account legit?

Wow this was a great post - thanks for posting it.

How does this compare to Gravitational’s teleport?

Hey man, you write good content but you’re very close to getting on the hn shitlist for spamming which would be a shame.

IIRC the author has a PhD in CS, and his thesis work was on PLT.

Wow this was amazing! If anyone could enlighten me - is there some general theory behind generate these patterns?

I am flummoxed by all these code examples - they produce so much with so little. Any theory behind these cryptic sin and cos 1 liners?

This is a textbook display of virtue signaling amongst the English speaking elite of India.

There was a comment on another post that shed a little light: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24934506

But not all would be r&d - assuming 33% of them are programmers/engineers, that comes to ~$1mm/year per person in comp

Seems to be heavily flagged.

There was a bit of discussion on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jkew7h/leak...

~4bb per quarter (16bb annual) in r&d costs for a pure play software company seems high no? What on earth do they spend on? I know they pay high engineering salaries but even factoring that it doesn’t seem to make sense to my simple mind. Twitter comes in 1/16th which i still think is crazy high!

Could you elaborate a bit more on “formalize mechanical devices”? That has really piqued my interest especially since you mentioned dance choreography as an example. Do you have any examples/prior art you found interesting?

One of the topics I occasionally like to think about is how to formally describe manufacturing steps in some structured/programming language. Maybe your program could be it. Would love to hear other folks’ thoughts on this too!

This has to be one of the best show hns I have seen in quite a while. It looks amazing - congrats and thanks!
