RAPTOR empowers security research with agentic workflows and automation. It combines traditional security tools with agentic automation and analysis, deeply understands your code, proves exploitability, and proposes patches.

First use: It generated patches for the FFmpeg Project Zero vulnerabilities.

It's also a PoC showing coding agents are generic, and can be adapted like a "WinAmp skin" for any purpose.

Deep work with an open office? Dont make me laugh. Please for the love of god bring back cubicles.

The steel man is that in the office you get cross team pollination organically. Team lunches, talking about an idea with another team on how to do something better as in that moment the idea came up. This happens more often in person than remote.

Does it need 5 days a week in the office? Absolutely not. 1-2 is plenty.

What makes you think that in the world where only the wealthy can afford legal, medical, and financial advice from human beings, the same will be automatically affordable from AI?

It will be, of course, but only until all human competition in those fields is eliminated. And after that, all those billions invested must be recouped back by making the prices skyrocket. Didn't we see that with e.g. Uber?

The password icon being invisible is just funny. Some of the other issues are actually problematic, as they may interfere with some workflows.

However if you go to the December 1. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/december-1-2025-kb...) the icon is still missing. How hard is that to fix? Aren't they using CoPilot? Just ask it to fix the invisible icon.

Probably not a priority.
Ask HN: Any experience using LLMs to license-wash FOSS projects?
by pera | 2025-12-02 08:47:08+00:00
Can LLMs like Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude be used to generate an equivalent FOSS project but removed from its licence and authorship?

Would this be legal?

For example, if a SaaS corporation wanted to modify and sell a service using some AGPL project can they use AI to entirely rewrite that project effectively detaching it from its original creator and ownership?

Let's say I want to create a small 2D game. I'm no game dev so nothing fancy, just a PoC. I'm willing to take a code first approach and I love C#. What is my best best?

- Unity seems promising but they have a weird version of mono running things and not so recent C# features available. Might be a non issue.

- Godot seems more promising for my use case but I feel like they want you to use GDScript. I don't want to use GDScript while there is a perfectly capable C# engine there. Is .NET second class in Godot?

- MonoGame was basically abandoned for a long time. I wonder if it got any better. That might be a little too much "code first" though.

Stride.. I just heard it the first time ever. Its a shame. And apparently it is a proven engine especially in VR space. Jumped on it, unfortunately no macOS support available so can't dig in right now.

> The truth is somewhere in the middle

Of course everything is subjective. The fact we're social animals creates the feeling that there's some kind of rules, but that's just a bias. We're biased. There is no absolute junk art-artefact, because humanity potentially extends timewise to so many instances of different humans that you cannot know in advance if something will be considered "good" at some point in time, culture, individusl brain etc...

> Both of these extremes position will result in bad work.

That's absurd, if someone "conform exactly to whatever the audience wants" then everyone in the audience would be pleased, how could it be bad work ?

Side note. Is it really possible for some artist to forget the audience ? I mean "however you want without any regard for them" is possible, but due to the fact you write as you want, it would be an absolute masterclass if you succeeded to be not cared about by anyone.

But yeah, that's not constituent of what is an artwork or not. This discussion is useless to the artist.

> [clown class]

Okay, but mondialization, hegemony of certain cultures etc... Are we truly different cultures ? I don't think so. But anyway, that's not the problem.

The problem is that you were using this example to justify the fact that taste is not relative. I accept that a group of clown students got impressed by the same clowns. But I don't accept that there wouldn't be some differences if the whole humanity (past and future) voted that day.

I would say that's on the wrong track and that "hard" is the wrong term for what reverse math (RM) tells you about problems. RM studies what axioms you need to prove a given theorem, but it's more like showing that "to pound in a nail of size X you need a hammer of size Y and a smaller hammer just can't do it", than saying pounding in the nail is difficult or complicated. Once you have the big enough hammer, pounding the nail can be very simple.

In 2004 https://paradies.jeena.net/weblog/2004/apr/ersteintrag I started my blog in German. I have a migration background (at 11 years old from Poland to Germany) and that made so I would do a lot of spelling mistakes when writing, even though I could express myself fairly OK. Writing a blog was a way for me to get better at it, and I would encourage my readers to tell me when they found something odd.

Because I moved to Sweden just about a year later, I started a new blog https://jeena.net/something-new where I would write in English, because I thought then both the people from Germany (to a lesser extend) and the people I know in Sweden would be able to read my blog.

It was a good decision to switch to English (which back then I didn't speak fluently at all, but writing was ok), because 5 Years ago I again moved countries, now I'm in South Korea and am still blogging in English.

It definitely helped me to learn English, which now is my main language at work and at home.

> You could also just validate the JSON payload, but most people don't bother.

I don't think I have ever worked somewhere that didn't require people to validate inputs.

The only scenario could be prototypes that made it to production, and even when its thrown over the wall I'll make it clear that it is unsupported until it meets minimum requirements. Who does it is less important than it happening.

Primarily looking for part-time or contract-based stuff, but totally open to full-time for things that are genuinely interesting or truly aleviate suffering in this world. I'm very available for short-term gigs and odd jobs, so if you just need someone to run chores for you for a couple hours at a reasonable rate, I'm your guy.

Professional experience going back technically to 2012 if I'm allowed to be a little cheeky (used to write Minecraft Bukkit server plugins for some extra money as a teen) and provable professional-quality work going back to 2017.

I used to be a patient video gamer, waiting for games to go on deep discount before buying them. Somehow it never occurred to me that I was missing out on the experiencing with everyone else at launch. I bought one game at launch and it was an absolute blast. We’re social animals, so of course sharing a new experience with others makes it more fun. I’m just surprised I couldn’t figure this simple fact out before hand.

Linux compatibility isn't what it used to be.

AMD and Intel support Linux as a first class platform, and everything CPU and GPU from them will work perfectly. Nvidia is on track to match them, albeit on proprietary drivers, if you use the most recent hardware, kernel and drivers. Qualcomm is still basically unusable and so is Apple.

The vast majority of popular and modern wireless chipsets have at least basic drivers in tree. Webcams, touchscreens and pens mostly work. Fingerprint sensors mostly don't work.

System76 has its place. You'll avoid hassle and you'll get the full feature set. You won't have to deal with bizarre edge cases around sleep, multi-gpu, or power saving features.

But truth be told, if you buy a new x86 laptop from any major brand, chances are that everything essential will work instantly or with a bit of tinkering under Linux.

> The same message in Protobuf binary

> → About 23 bytes.

This appears to be a nice ai-generated result. There are already at least 23 bytes of data there (number 42 (1 byte) + string of 5 chars + string of 17 chars + 1 boolean), so that plus field overhead will be more.
by timschmidt | 2025-12-02 08:57:35+00:00
Yup. Since then we've seen scaling primarily in transistor count, though clock speed has increased slowly as well. Increased transistor count has led to increasingly complex and capable instruction decode, branch prediction, out of order execution, larger caches, and wider execution pipelines in attempt to increase single-threaded performance. We've also seen the rise of embarrassingly parallel architectures like GPUs which more effectively make use of additional transistors despite lower clock speeds. But Moore's been with us the whole time.

Chiplets and advanced packaging are the latest techniques improving scaling and yield keeping Moore alive. As well as continued innovation in transistor design, light sources, computational inverse lithography, and wafer scale designs like Cerebras.

Based on what? Why even leave this comment if you’re just going to say “would likely be worse off” without giving literally any evidence or even suggestion of why.

Insurance is a pool. The bigger your pool the more you spread the risk/load. It’s brain dead simple. Medical care is a human right, beyond that.

Nothing about our system makes any sense and it is built to pad so many pockets in entirely opaque ways between you and the care you actually receive. Cut out several layers of middlemen and the costs go down. God forbid you have an accident and you end up at the wrong hospital when the one down the road is in-network but the one they took you to is out-of-network and you wake up owing thousands of dollars.

I had pretty good marketplace insurance this year but the plan I’m on now isn’t even offered anymore and if I got the next closest offered plan I’d be paying 6X as much for the premiums with higher copays on top. I’ll be switching to my union offered plan instead which is much better than the new marketplace plan but still worse than the marketplace insurance I had before.

> However if there's a digital ID system that lets the government instantly know everything about a person, you lose the protection of friction.

"Digital ID" doesn't necessitate that all data is collected into one gigantic store with centralised access. Just that you can use the same attestation of identity to access the various systems. And you can also grant others access to a limited subset of the data.

If the government wanted to they could already have set up some direct access from (say) the passport office to HMRC. It's all digital anyway, backwards as the UK government can be, they're not sending people to pore over paper ledgers in person like in The Jackal.

Some of the system already works like this anyway with the share codes for permission to work for foreigners and proving your driving licence.

Theoretically you would also be able to have an audit log of who asked for attestation for access to which system using that ID. Which you currently don't have when everyone is doing it by passport scans, NI numbers given over the phone and so on.

What it does allow is a creeping over-attestation especially of non-government services where you need to use the ID to do things that were previously anonymous or at least potentially anonymous. But since you currently need to use a driving license or selfie to look at boobies, that's already a thing.

It also, depending on cryptographic implementation, can leak information about attestations directly to the government. For example if I certify my identity at BumTickling.com, the website might only find out that I'm over 18, but the government may then know that BT.com's operator requested attestation of my ID's age field. Whereas currently, BT.com's (probably) shady identity service partner may have my selfie and know I tried to look at BT.com, but the government (probably, maybe they forward these things secretly) doesn't know about it unless they audit that partner.

It also has the possibility to gate access to government services behind app installations which, when done lazily, means not only smartphones are required which is bad enough, but specifically Google and Apple devices.

Currently building data analytics platform for agricultural customers; previously connectivity/control/update for IoT devices. I think I'm good at understanding and adapting to a new business domain, and enjoy that learning opportunity. I believe we build better software with a better understanding of the context it operates in.

Have done & can do full-stack work (helped last company grow from three engineers and through acquisition) but lean towards backend/infrastructure in expertise. Most recently platform technical lead (IC).

MEng EE & CS blend. (No professional EE experience, but somewhat maintained as a hobby.) 8y post-intern experience in web software.

Looking for something new to sink my teeth into in an organisation with room to grow. Remote opportunities only please, and that I'm eligible for residing in the UK & as a British citizen, though I'm perfectly willing to travel for particular events/big meetings. Cheers!

> We’ll be able to do things like run fast models on the edge, run model pipelines on instantly-booting Workers, stream model inputs and outputs with WebRTC, etc.

Benefit to 3rd party developers is reducing latency and improving robustness of AI pipeline. Instead of going back and forth with https request at each stage to do inference you could make all in one request, e.g. doing realtime, pipelined STT, text translation, some backend logic, TTS and back to user mobile device.

True, but that's already a much less clean separation between the credential issuer's and my domain on many dimensions other than security.

As an example, this was the security model for mobile contactless payments for the longest time, and arguably as a result these never really took off until Google came up with a software-only alternative for Android. The potential for rent seeking of the hardware vendor is often too great, and even absent that, it requires close cooperation of too many distinct entities (hardware vendor, OS developer, bank, maybe a payment scheme etc).

(Apple had no issues, because their ecosystem is already a fully walled garden, and they can usually get away with charging access fees even for non-security-relevant hardware interfaces.)

With a contactless smartcard, I might have to carry one more plastic card than strictly necessary, but the technology for that is pretty mature (wallets), and I can migrate to a new phone without any hassle or use my credential on somebody else's device in a pinch.

Just a heads-up for anyone who prefers 1-year validity over Let's Encrypt's 90-day cycle. I noticed ServBay is giving away 1-year DV SSL certificates for $0. It uses the Certum root.

How to get it: Go to the store: https://www.servbay.com/store

Scroll to the very bottom. Select the $0 DV Single option. They mentioned it's limited to the first 1,000 users. Hard to beat a price of zero for a paid cert, so I thought I'd share.
Show HN: SQLite-repair-go – Recover corrupt SQLite DBs when standard tools fail
by touge | 2025-12-02 09:01:36+00:00
Hello HN,

I built a CLI tool in Go to recover corrupted SQLite databases, implementing the "Corrupt Recovery" strategy inspired by Tencent's WCDB.

The Problem: Standard tools like sqlite3 .recover often fail if the file header or the sqlite_master table (usually Page 1) is corrupted. They rely on the file's internal structure to locate data.

This project is also an experiment in AI-assisted coding. The core logic (binary parsing, page scanning) and the CLI structure were primarily written by Gemini 3 Pro (Preview).

Repo: https://github.com/tougee/sqlite-repair-go

Feedback is welcome!
