kaszanka··on How to hack time, with C2PA
Only tangentially related, but knowing that remote attestation and co. will only ever get... "better" fills me with impotent rage like almost nothing else. https://www.lafkon.net/tc/ (2004) was so very prescient.
kaszanka··on Gemini 4 Argon
Is auto mode only in the IDE? I'm not seeing it in the CLI on my end, version 1.2.14.
kaszanka··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]
If the direct link isn't working for anyone else (looks like it's some AWS pre-signed one maybe tied to IP): https://github.com/user-attachments/files/31802150/EXTERNAL....
kaszanka··on GLM-5.3: Frontier coding with emergent cyber capabilities
Trending links don't work on Nitter, so here's the tweet: https://nitter.net/jietang/status/2067580270078030088
kaszanka··on Improving GPT‑5.6 Sol in ChatGPT, expanding GPT‑5.6 Luna access for free users
> Because this version of GPT‑5.6 Sol is optimized for everyday chats, it will only be available in the Chat experience in ChatGPT. The version of GPT‑5.6 Sol that powers Work and Codex is not changing as part of this release.

Hm, does this mean that 5.6 Pro in ChatGPT web is somehow different/not as good now? I found it really good for code review (upload your repo and patch and off it goes).

kaszanka··on A peek into Reddit's anti-spam internals
"Anti-Evil Operations" is a pretty grandiose name for spam filtering. Also I liked the House of Leaves reference
kaszanka··on Adafruit receives demand letter from Fenwick legal counsel on behalf of Flux.ai
People have already been imprisoned for this, one case I can think of off the top of my head is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse_Security#AT&T/iPad_emai....
kaszanka··on The text mode lie: why modern TUIs are a nightmare for accessibility
I wonder how Turbo Vision (still the only good TUI framework) does on screen reader accessibility.
kaszanka··on Backblaze has stopped backing up your data
Surprisingly only the headings (2.05) and links (3.72) fail the Firefox accessibility check, the body text is 5.74. But subjectively it seems worse and I definitely agree with you that the contrast is too low.
kaszanka··on Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry
Is https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli not 'the flagship agent' itself? It looks that way to me, for example here's a part of the prompt https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/e293424bb49...
kaszanka··on Arm AGI CPU
Is it AGentIc ai infrastructure? Or AGentic aI infrastructure? Or AGentic ai Infrastructure?

I expected better from the people who brought us the ARM architecture, with A, R and M profiles.

kaszanka··on GNU Pies – Program Invocation and Execution Supervisor
Also in Polish, which would mean "dog".
kaszanka··on I cracked a $200 software protection with xcopy
> no winhttp.dll, wininet.dll, or ws2_32.dll. offline validation only. all crypto is local, so theoretically extractable.

You can't possibly know that by the mere lack of these DLLs from the import directory.

kaszanka··on PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory. RAM jumps to $600 due to shortage
TIL! That's neat, I wonder how much RAM that client uses compared to the desktop one.
kaszanka··on PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory. RAM jumps to $600 due to shortage
That's still not a fair comparison, because on a console you don't have the option to do any of that.
kaszanka··on An initial investigation into WDDM on ReactOS
> after booting my VM KDE just flashed because my external GPU was gone but everything went back working without a need for relogin.

What GPU are you using and how did you configure this, if you don't mind me asking? On my end I just can't unload the driver for it if I let KDE start with the external GPU available.

kaszanka··on AMD Turin PSP binaries analysis from open-source firmware perspective
Good post on troubleshooting the failure to boot, but from the title I was kind of hoping for something like decryption and analysis of the blobs' contents, rather than just metadata. Very "cool" that 3 megabytes of unauditable malware (the public blobs) are still not enough to even boot the platform...
kaszanka··on Microsoft BASIC for 6502 Microprocessor – Version 1.1
Anyone can do this by changing the author and committer date. Take a look at https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo, linked in the comments here, for example.
kaszanka··on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
This is basically what most of the challenge types in go-away (https://git.gammaspectra.live/git/go-away/wiki/Challenges) do.
kaszanka··on How to Firefox
Probably even non-vetted firmware-to-browser chains, by requiring boot attestation to open a TLS connection or something.
kaszanka··on Exploiting the IKKO Activebuds “AI powered” earbuds (2024)
To be even more pedantic, it's also not present on Android.
kaszanka··on ZeroRISC Gets $10M Funding, Says Open-Source Silicon Security Inevitable
Oh joy. So when this sort of stuff comes to mobile phones, at least when the McDonalds app refuses to start on your pocket general purpose computer (because it's not running software that Google considers 'trustworthy') you'll be able to confidently say that the RTL for the part of the chip that is ultimately responsible for betraying your interests is open source. Surely consolation enough for missing out on your burger discount.

I like to bring up McDonalds as an example because IIRC it requires the highest, 'strong integrity' verdict from SafetyNet/Play Integrity/nom-du-jour. Maybe they should rename it to something with Open in the name when OpenTitan comes to Chromebooks.

kaszanka··on UEFI-Only Support for AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series Graphics and Later
BAR resizing (which is all that Smart Access Memory means, as far as I can tell) is just done by the kernel writing some value to the right field in PCI configuration space, why would it require firmware support (and if so, why would CSM preclude that support)?
kaszanka··on They have not been trained for this
Here's the live recording link for those who missed it and are too impatient to wait for the cleaned-up one: https://streaming.media.ccc.de/38c3/relive/233cb1d4-4833-538...
kaszanka··on Sora is here
This is well on its way thanks to Microsoft's aggressive push to put a TPM in every Windows 11 PC.
kaszanka··on Oasis AI
This time it's sadly just another case of a web developer who thinks he knows better than you what browser you should use, it works fine with

kaszanka··on Arrest of Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO, charges of terrorism, fraud, child porn
You can actually turn off Stories in the settings, then the option also disappears from the bottom bar.
kaszanka··on Attacking Android Binder
How do they ensure this under Linux?
kaszanka··on Asus refunds Zenfone buyer for failing to provide bootloader unlock tools
AFAIK it only beats magnetic stripe cards, not EMV chip cards
kaszanka··on ChatGPT with voice is now available to all free users
What's the issue with the answer for "Are Korean and Chinese mutually intelligible"? The highlighted part is definitely true, at least.
