New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel.
Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development.

the linked paper doesn't talk about sha256 at all.
There's nothing to break for sha256... it's a hashing algorithm. The only thing you can really do is find collisions, and for btc you can't really do much with collisions.
The vulnerable part is ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm). Fairly easy to upgrade to QC resistent algorithms.
I had 10 popular dark chocolate brands independently tested for heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury), and healthy cocoa flavanols. The results are pretty surprising.
Intel's Pentium processor (1993) was a big jump in processor performance, starting a brand that lasted until 2023. But what's inside the Pentium chip? How did Intel organize its 3.3 million transistors? Let's take a look inside and see the chip's "standard cells". 1/21
According to the new paper, the decay of axion domain walls could produce black holes that make up dark matter. I've had a look.

@andriy_mulyar We don’t have the technology to compress all the pdfs out there into a 4Gb medium but… we are able compress the knowledge required to write them huh? 🤣
@shanselman Same technique could be used to store data inside any video with distinct 2x2 color masks.. regardless, if it’s not a spyware sort of secret information sharing, pretty much inefficient way of storing anything
