alt Hacker NewsI’m out of the loop on this sort of workflow. I guess this is referencing the LLMs super reverse engineering capabilities. They are impressive but how much would that sort of task cost? There isn’t a ton of headroom if we’re going to beat a Pi, right? I mean they aren’t super cheap anymore, but you also have to factor in the phone.
You can reverse quite a large program on a Claude $100 sub if you already have one lying around. I have to assume it's cheaper if you have the sources of a kernel that's 99.99% the same.
In the long run I also imagine this sort of thing being something someone does once per phone model and uploads it.
