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

Verification is equally important, if not more so.
Re:ChatGPT and Codex Is Down on Thursday September 03, 2026 @11:07AM (#49551134)
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.

Re:GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50% on Monday August 17, 2026 @09:12PM (#49339895)
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.

Addressed in the article, in case you're curious.
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.

I can't even sign up for Max (last tried yesterday), their credit card processor has issues.

Another trope: longer README.md's than anyone would make, or want.
Re:Apple introduces the new MacBook Air with M5 on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @02:04PM (#47237128)
I prefer the Dell Rugged line or Thinkpads, since a single water droplet on the keyboard is enough to kill this laptop.
Also the Kiisu which is 1:1 with capabilities, plus a few more.
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/
Re:The 'Invisibility Cloak' – Slash-Proc Magic on Friday November 08, 2024 @12:28PM (#42088633)
I can answer the writing to /proc one. It is sometimes useful to hotpatch running programs with /proc/pid/mem.
Or the LilyGO T-Embed CC1101.
Re:OpenAI is shockingly good at unminifying code on Thursday August 29, 2024 @08:00AM (#41389907)
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/
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/...

How? They are prohibited from using it in the license.
Re:Llama 3.1 Official Launch on Tuesday July 23, 2024 @11:09AM (#41046780)
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.

Statement from Mark: https://about.fb.com/news/2024/07/open-source-ai-is-the-path...

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.

Re:Claude 3.5 Sonnet on Wednesday June 26, 2024 @11:27PM (#40806898)
Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic come to mind.

In TFA they name OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic.

Re:Claude 3.5 Sonnet on Wednesday June 26, 2024 @11:26PM (#40806891)
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.

This more likely has to do with context length?
