If you're responding to the parent post, as most of us are, the Lean proof is not irrelevant.

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.

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.

Re:Frontier AI has broken the open CTF format
on Sunday May 17, 2026 @04:06AM (#48166955)
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.

Re:Ask HN: How are you using LLMs for traversing decompiler output?
on Saturday January 04, 2025 @05:43PM (#42598223)
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.

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/

I can answer the writing to /proc one. It is sometimes useful to hotpatch running programs with /proc/pid/mem.
