I'd like to know how many tokens in total went into solving this problem. Have they talked about this? It matters whether they got this result in 10 million tokens or 10 billion. Whether it's closer to 1 human working on this for 1 year or 1000 humans for 1 year. The news feels different when the probability of one AI run solving this is 1 in a thousand vs 1 a million. Approximately I'm asking about the amount of money it cost to solve it, which has to include the failed parallel runs.

Thanks for this link.

How do you get the null byte into the string? Is it through casting blob to string? The way I have encountered this is when using the C API in which string arguments for prepared statements are passed as char pointers. If those contain the null byte then the string is cut off.

Allowing null characters and then mishandling them is worse than not allowing them.

I have written a short article explaining why null terminated strings as they exist in C cannot represent proper ASCII and UTF-8 because of the null terminator. It's not a full explanation of how strings work but it might be helpful for you.

How do you escape the sandbox through a Wayland or X11 socket? Do you have specific code examples?

Is there no way to safely run graphical applications in a bwrap sandbox? I thought Wayland was supposed to be better about this.
