New content about CRS and our journey in the AIxCC finals at b3yond.org/crs! In my opinion, AIxCC marks a turning point for code agents, transitioning from augmentation to automation. While we opted for augmentation, I hope automation proves to be better in the future.

It's been 2 years since I last updated my blog, and 12 hours until the final result of AIxCC. This is a recap of my journey with @42_b3yond_6ug, our CRS, and a peek into other teams' CRSs thanks to @ctfradiooo. lkmidas.github.io/posts/20250808…

@DongdongShe @is_eqv I think you guys did a great job on FOX, and this GitHub issue made an awkward mistake. I'm surprised by how carelessly people use it as "proof" that “they must be faking it.” I would appreciate more evaluators in this field, but this… 😅

Seems like my excitement was misplaced: github.com/FOX-Fuzz/FOX/i…. If true, the eval is worthless. Which also raises the question: Would a senior researcher make this mistake by accident after saying this x.com/DongdongShe/st…? Or is this a pattern? (i.e x.com/AndreasZeller/…)

Honestly, I'm pretty excited about this. Both (a) frontier scheduling and (b) branch distance are ideas I've wanted to see implemented robustly for a while, and (c) using a newton-like mutation approach is really clever!

I've subscribed to the Trail of Bits blog for a long time, and this is what a blog should be like. ASAN is such a common tool, but no article explains it better than theirs. blog.trailofbits.com/2024/05/16/und…

在公司技术群里引用 2015 年一篇文章提到的「函数颜色理论」,非常爹味地输出了一波对 Python asyncio 的 async/await 到处污染浪费心智的不满。
现在群里很安静,可能大家觉得我在喷💩,不想理我。🤪
但是这文章真的很好,推荐中英双修阅读(内有原文链接)。

Just wrote a complex table without using tablesgenerator.com for the first time. @typstapp is awesome! If you're using LaTeX for your paper writing, you should definitely give it a try.
