A little off-topic: where does one use those models such as GLM or DS for this kind of reverse engineering tasks? I think I read many of them refuse to help with tasks like those on their official platforms.

You can run deepseek-v4.1-flash on a local server with 4xH200@141GB for around 180K EUR. It can serve more than one user so it can be a good investment for a company, especially if you need your data to stay local (although I would advise do go a step up and populate with 8xH200 to serve many more users, ~300K EUR). You can run whatever test you want and you won't be limited by a front-end that pre-filters your requests.

I've been testing these models with fireworks.ai

They provide serverless access, and if you use fireconnect it's also easy to hook the models up to e.g. codex which allows for fairly clean comparisons

I think they provide the bare model (no filter) but I might be wrong, haven't tried using it for security research yet


I use DS straight off of DeepSeek's API.

It was very helpful in the aftermath of a client whose WordPress got stuffed up and analysing when it happened, how it happened, and what the entry point was. The American frontier models refused to help because, well, they just refuse to help with that kind of thing.


GLM-5.3; well, the flash variant at least; you just ask what to do and it complies with no objections :^]

GLM 5.3 doesn't seem to refuse vuln research (which it classifies as "audit") and is good at it.

Therefore you use for offensive cybersecurity tasks because Daybreak Red/Mythos is pure unobtainium for us mere plebians.

DB Blue thankfully exists, but I suspect you risk a ban if you use it with codebases you neither own nor use

Tl;dr because it's the only model at the level of 5.4~5.6 that doesn't refuse tasks nor risk your oai account getting banned

For plain RE tasks Sol or Astra should work just fine (I think)


> The US now supports Russia in its war against Ukraine

Let's be serious. If the US supported Russia in its war against Ukraine, there would be no Ukraine now.


For me, as there are so many "variables" when soldering, the most difficult thing is knowing what's wrong.

For example, you end up with a poor soldering. You try again, and again, but it doesn't get better. Maybe only worse. But what was wrong?

- Was the temperature OK? (And is my iron reporting the real temperature? Should I spend another 300 bucks in a soldering tip thermometer?)

- Maybe the solder I bought is not appropriate?

- Was it the flux? Did I apply it correctly?

- Also, is this tip the best one for the job? Besides, I could have damaged it before when trying to solder and it's not good anymore, although looks good to me

- Or my technique isn't good enough. Am I drag soldering this right? Maybe I should apply heat for longer? But what if I damage the component?


> It's also written in C#

No, Godot is written in C++. You can use C# to code games, as well as GDScript or other languages.


Oh ok, my bad. Thought it was C# and therefore C# was the reason it's advertised for more complex coding in Godot. False friend I guess, should've checked, thx.


In Spain at least you can. I know 4 or 5 banks that let you auth via SMS, coordinates card, etc. If yours doesn't, I suggest that you complain. Some colleagues had to call theirs and insist that the bank's application didn't work on their phones. Reluctantly at first, they eventually changed their method to SMS.


The interesting thing about SMS is this isn't always usable while traveling.

For example my phone provider has really overpriced international fees ($10 / day) so instead I use an eSIM which usually only comes with data. That means I lose the ability to use text messages or phone calls for any form of verification. A number of banks and other sites also block Google Voice / VoIP numbers.


> China has interfered with US elections

Wow. I bet we'll soon be reading on HN that Biden stole the elections back in 2020.


No one who believed it definitely was has changed their mind, they've just at most gotten quiet about it.

No one who believed it definitely was not has changed their mind, they've just at most gotten quiet about it.

No one who believed it could have been but that the claim has not been proven have changed our minds, we've just decided that there's no way to know what actually happened.


There's not just one war on, there are many. Should Kagi exclude all the results from American companies because of the actions of the US government in Iran?


Depends which side of the war you're on I guess? Or more to the point, whose money kagi wants to go after.


What's the point in stopping paying money to Russia if Kagi is incorporated in Palo Alto, so it's paying money and will continue to do so to a country causing no less troubles than Russia?


Two wrongs don’t make a right. Much of the HN audience lives in the US, giving money to the US is unavoidable in life. But in return we do have the democratic ability to try to alter the behavior of the country.

It still makes sense to avoid giving money to other bad actors who are acting in direct opposition to your home country, and whom you have no control over, when you can.


Then one should ask for Kagi to move to a country that doesn't use taxes to invade other countries, and stop supporting them, instead of just asking to "stop paying money to Russia". Because fixing two wrongs is better than just fixing one, right? And I want to believe that living in the US doesn't make you agree with your country's foreign policy (which doesn't seem to change significantly even with your democratic ability to try to alter it) specially if you're worried about Russia.


Why that ability didn't result in less loss of lives in middle East for such a long time.


A lot more one could argue.


Were they theirs? Germany has nukes too but they're not theirs, they're from the US. Germany can't say "fuck off" to the ~50k Americans stationed in the country, leave NATO and get to keep the nukes.


If a country has nuclear weapons and can unilaterally launch them, then they are theirs. Who’s gonna come take them?


Who told you Ukraine had the ability to launch the nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union that happened to be deployed to its territory?


>can unilaterally launch them

Germany can't launch or even operate and maintain them without the US.


Do you know if it's possible to cap expenses on Scaleway so you don't end up with unexpected charges (due to bandwidth or whatever)? I mean, having your services stopped until the next cycle begins or you decide to pay more. I knew this wasn't possible for Hetzner, for example, but I'm not sure about this one.
