Discovering cryptographic weaknesses with Claude The best part of this article (here's the repo ) about how Anthropic researchers used Claude Mythos to find mathematical flaws in both HAWK and a weaker version of AES ("neither of these results has a practical impact on today’s computer systems") is the prompts that they shared, spelling mistakes included: the models tend to think it is impossible to solve so they don't try they need a good amount of prompting. why not do aes-128 r7? the whole point is to find something better than existing approaches. no again the goal is that we have highly inteligent model as good top researcher, we want to find new attacks no we don't want to change the targets [...] agian we need to find something that worth publishing again we are not looking for low hanging fruit, we want proper research to find genuinly hard findings. Mythos Preview worked for 60 hours in total (~$100,000 in estimated API cost) and the main human interventions were to encourage it not to give up and "find something that worth publishing". The paper CryptanalysisBench: Can LLMs do Cryptanalysis? describes the new eval that was created as part of this work, in partnership with ETH Zurich, Tel Aviv University, and University of Haifa.

Claude & Cursor usage in your macOS menu bar Discussion | Link
HN is great for the links people share, but a big part of the value I get comes from reading the discussion around them. I realized I was always opening the article in one tab and the comments in another, constantly switching back and forth. I figured there was probably a simpler way, so I threw together this userscript to merge the two. 1. Clicking a link from Hacker News opens the article with a side panel containing the discussion. It doesn't require your credentials, is resizable, and is easy to tweak if you want to customize it. 2. If you land on an article that has previously been shared on HN, the script finds the existing discussion and adds a button in the top-right to open the panel. Feedback welcome.
