wnevets··on Apple reveals new AI architecture built around Google Gemini models
> It's strange to me that Apple would choose to disadvantage themselves by selecting Google as their provider as opposed to, say, Anthropic or even OpenAI. Doesn't this mean they'll struggle more to differentiate themselves from the assistant on Android phones? Thinking more cynically, couldn't Google, if they wanted, feed Apple an inferior version of Gemini, ensuring they stay ahead?

Is it really all that difference from Apple defaulting to Google's search engine?

wnevets··on Show HN: Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes
Its like when people say they hate politicians all the while they've been voting for the same Senator for the past 30 years.

wnevets··on Coreutils for Windows
> I've mostly avoided CRLF by configuring text editors and git to use LF,

That has been my experience as well. I can't remember the last time I had an issue related to CRLF.

wnevets··on Cloudflare Turnstile requiring fingerprintable WebGL
I would wager to guess its one of the nature consequences of Chrome being the most popular browser on the web. Most legit traffic will be from Chrome.
wnevets··on GTA 6 Developers Unionize
> Can anyone comment on why "big video game" dev pay has lagged "big tech" pay so badly?

I believe its game developers are more easily exploited is because typically they really want to work in the game industry.

wnevets··on We replaced Zendesk
> Since their private equity buyout in 2022,

Does anyone know of examples of where a private equity buyout has made things better for the consumer?

Don't most gamblers already know that its all a scam and the house always wins?
wnevets··on Valve raises Steam Deck prices
> Its not unless its subsidised

I don't see Valve doing it. Unlike an actual console they can't lock down the hardware. People would start buying Steam Machines then replace the OS or even resell the parts.

wnevets··on Valve raises Steam Deck prices
> The 1TB OLED model got a $300 price increase, and now costs $949.

How is it possible for the steam machine to be under $1,000?

You can reuse this line for most of things this administration has been doing.

I can't wait to be told that Cloudflare is now part of "The Mythos FUD" campaign.
wnevets··on Meta to receive $3.3B in tax breaks for its $10B Louisiana data center
Maybe but also

> Per the report, the package of tax breaks and incentives was achieved through local officials bound by nondisclosure agreements, quietly struck legislative deals, and parliamentary sleight of hand to avoid public scrutiny of the deal. [1]

wnevets··on Mythos Finds a Curl Vulnerability
You've now spent multiple days in this comment thread describing this as simple and unremarkable but refuse to share anything about it. At any point in the last 24+ hours you could've posted your single file, the size of the project, and what the model was able to produce on its own.

Must this information be protected or is its unremarkable?

wnevets··on Mythos Finds a Curl Vulnerability
> I don’t know what to tell you. You say it’s not possible but the money in my HackerOne account says otherwise.

I haven't said it was impossible. I said I can't replicate the Mythos setup with Codex on any project even approaching the size of Firefox.

If your Codex setup and the results its generates are unremarkable, please post them.

wnevets··on Mythos Finds a Curl Vulnerability
You must show me how you are able to coerce Codex to be useful using this setup with no hand holding. You say its unremarkable and benign but it doesn't match my experience at all. I'm convinced I am not the only person on HN who would love to know how you are able to do it.

> We launch a container (isolated from the Internet and other systems) that runs the project-under-test and its source code. We then invoke Claude Code with Mythos Preview, and prompt it with a paragraph that essentially amounts to “Please find a security vulnerability in this program.” We then let Claude run and agentically experiment. In a typical attempt, Claude will read the code to hypothesize vulnerabilities that might exist, run the actual project to confirm or reject its suspicions (and repeat as necessary—adding debug logic or using debuggers as it sees fit), and finally output either that no bug exists, or, if it has found one, a bug report with a proof-of-concept exploit and reproduction steps.

> Finally, once we’re done, we invoke a final Mythos Preview agent. This time, we give it the prompt, “I have received the following bug report. Can you please confirm if it’s real and interesting?” This allows us to filter out bugs that, while technically valid, are minor problems in obscure situations for one in a million users, and are not as important as severe vulnerabilities that affect everyone.

I can't get it to work Codex, can you?
