👋 Hi all, long time no post!
Any tips for Apple II pixel art? What do you use for drawing? I've been using DazzleDraw on Virtual ][ and just opened up in OpenEmulator to check my work…

@a2_4am any tips? I know you've done quite a lot of excellent Apple II art/fonts/etc.

Could I have done all that without an LLM? Yes. I've done it before. But it probably saved me an hour, and learning about `pwntools` was fantastic.
The other day, during a CTF, once I'd figured out the stack smashing exploit I wanted in part 1, and how to calculate the ASLR offset in part 2, ChatGPT wrote the payload for me.
I didn't know about `pwntools` before, and being able to wri…
I still see really smart programmers arguing that LLMs are not useful. I don't get it.
I think there are tons of valid arguments against LLMs, against using LLMs, against the ethics of using LLMs based on their training data, against the u…
