still conflicted about Antigravity, but gemini 3 feels smart, uses parallel tool calls often and is pretty flexible in fixing its mistakes, also a weird persistence & excitement mix. opening this up for the next day, curious how others feel, in case I'm not vibing hard enough 😆
with all the praise for better use of context and instruction-following, GPT-5 (thinking/pro) gets confused at over ~35-40k tokens, where the actual request is at the end (like with @repoprompt's default) and starts fixing random TODOs in the code, ignoring the ask completely

The @satml_conf LLM CTF has come to an end!
🥇Huge congrats to the defender winning team Hestia (@NivCohenHuji @Yuvlem) whose top defense was broken only once, and the attacker winning team @WreckTheLine (@adragos_ @sijsu @FetchDEX @y011d4 @ca7ir) who broke all defenses!

#TheSAS2019 was an absolutely amazing event and an impressive show of force wrt organization. Thanks to Vladimir, @__paulch and the team for the invitation and the awesome challenges in the Industrial CTF. Now I'm looking forward to the recordings to see what we missed out on.

First @defcon CTF Finals for team PwnThyBytes. Fun times with @oooverflow. Scored 14th out of 24.

THIS. I’m friends with a couple of them, yet when they’re in the CTF area, I count myself as lucky to get eye contact and a nod.
There’s little, if anything, going on at the con that’s more intensive than main CTF.
