Another trope: longer README.md's than anyone would make, or want.

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.

netsec_burn — Sat, 04 Jan 2025 22:43:51 +0000

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.

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).

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.

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.

Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic come to mind.

In TFA they name OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic.

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.
