@gamozolabs Looking forward to this zero sum game with mathematics. Why bother even teaching it when you can just brute force AI at an 'unsolvable' problem until you get lucky? 1.6K views · 9 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

I'm really close to having a break through on a math problem. I just need the people whose logs I'm stealing to just get a little closer. 57.9K views · 9.7K likes · 438 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

I'm still kinda under the impression that AI really is good at motivating people who could have already done the things. Feels bad to see AI get so much credit for things people were already capable of doing. The progress (or illusion of progress) seems to be its biggest value 6.1K views · 80 likes · 4 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →

Sorry to anyone who worked on this. Your effort, work, and push for improvement was incredible and I know a feature like that is incredibly hard to implement beyond the engineering side. ❤️ 5.1K views · 70 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Losing MTE is probably the biggest backwards step in security history. Exploitation is forever trivial on Android with no near term hopes of difficulty increases of significant effect. 93.6K views · 400 likes · 26 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

Had claude port some of my old metrology code to a webpage so now I can view my surface plate and current state of my lathe (and old states). Turned out pretty nice IMO. Way better than what I had before :D https://t.co/eKeiEZFxGE 3.8K views · 20 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

We did it, we used our exploit to snapshot a running Android device, and then brought it into QEMU where we can single step it, apply full symbols (since we build a binary identical to the release build), and of course... fuzz it in the future :) https://t.co/a98w6gbRJC
