It's weird that it took so long for these trivial optimizations but it might just be that they were working on optimizing other stuff.

New comment by 0xAstro in "Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck"

> Springer Nature deviated from the normal practice of merely slapping the word RETRACTED across the digital version of the paper while still allowing scholars to read the text. Instead, the publisher posted a blank white page with the cryptic phrase, “This article has been withdrawn due to article violation.” Springer Nature is nevertheless still selling the empty PDF for $39.95.

If someone else did this, it would've been called scam.

How is the experience with BitWarden clients so far? Their chrome extension bugs out for me for the most basic tasks.

the only major blocker seems to be the "legalities" for ai agents to take such jobs. aside from that, well ai is getting much better than humans at selling stuff and persuading people.

I am surprised people are not talking about Brave and its goggles which allow to block off crappy searches like pinterest all the time + a neat community feature and biggest point, its own search index.

I would recommend you to try out the setup with gpt-5.5-cyber as the orchestrator and deepseek-v4-flash or some other fast cheap model as its workers. Getting pretty good results using this setup.

I had a fun day today where I had deepseek-v4-flash subagents work out patch for dirty frag for systems with AF_ALG disabled and nscd turned on, to gain root access. The original published exploit wasn't working but the patched one worked like a charm.

I am still a believer that a 100 subagents with good-enough intelligence can get same results as mythos, I am ready for this opinion to be shattered when I eventually try mythos and I believe others here must have tried mythos out too.

These simple harnesses perform the best in my day to day experience but I sitll can't figure out why that's the case.

Now the 1000s of spammy chrome web extension requests when I opened LinkedIn makes sense
