Are you on an enterprise plan? I’m on a personal plan so I never bothered. I assumed they wouldn’t approve. Also is your LinkedIn cyber security adjacent?

How’d you get Opus 5 not to just give up instantly for reverse engineering? Are you sure you’re using Opus 5 and not 4.8 by automatic fallback? I found Opus 5 useless for RE, refusing to do it outright. I was able to make it run for about 1

Woah. Reading this blog post was like being transported 5 years back prior to the existence of AI. It reeks of pure humanity.

It’s different. You can’t measure it by word count. I’ve thought “hey I’ll just throw together this 5 page website on Squarespace, it’ll take a week at most” and despite only having like 5000 words it can take over a month. When you see how

This website still would have taken at least a week to make. It’s pretty nice for an open source project website. Between no website and shiny but crappy LLM website, I’ll take the latter, and I wouldn’t wish another 2 weeks of unpaid copy

Deep Fusion is best, when words and phrase patterns in the domain are known. Deep Fusion means to hint the Whisper decoder about the next possible words using LLM-in-the-loop.

I read it, but to be honest it sounded plausible after 1 read (I just assumed it used person interchangeably with object, and I have no idea how quantum entanglement works so the rest was confidence signals)

Not quite, because it knows about quantum entanglement and that’s a little beyond the fifth grade.

In line with the other comment on this post: I also am classified as “brilliant” by people and IQ tests. My country gave me an award for being a great inventor. But my memory is worse than anyone I know. I can’t remember the lyrics to any s

I also use the ASD-STE100 trick and it works pretty great, but the places that it decides to put huge comments are really weird and a lot of the time I just ask OpenAI sol “rewrite the comments in this file without slop” and it does a much

I discovered yesterday that the “amazing thing that comes out of OpenAI” is Sol, due to its token efficiency. Dollar for tokens, Sol and Fable are the same price. However, Sol uses (literally: in testing) around 10-100x less output tokens c

Can grok be used for reverse engineering, anyone tried? A fable level intelligence would be quite useful

Has anyone figured out how to get agents to reliably rewrite an entire spec to not be a list of historical findings? Ie convert a history roll into an actual spec? I find my agents can’t figure this out. And they always do stuff like append

Yeah, also we have a lot of room we don’t care about and nobody goes there, so we just put solar panels out there.

Practical meaning I don’t plan to ever drive more than 600km per day so if it’s 600km from A->B, and then a 8 hour charge, that’s fine by me… if I want 700km I’ll stop and charge for 5 min at 30% SOC or so

But which brands last longer than a Tesla? None. That’s because faster charging wears out the battery. Charging fast is not marvellous, actually it requires a lot of self-control from the manufacturers to limit charging speed for longevity,

Having owned a Model 3 I would argue that it’s basically “done” at this point, pending software updates for better FSD. It already charges in 20-30 min at Tesla chargers and has a practical range of around 600 kms, so super fast charging is

Yeah try Sonnet 5, it has no guardrails and it can run continuously. Hook it up to IDA, or I use Ghidra, with MCP and it can autonomously search for whatever you tell it to using a text prompt. It’s way faster than doing it by hand. Only is
