0days are cool, but misconfguration is what's most effective.

Is anyone hiring software devs in Perth, Australia? Asking for a good friend who has been made redundant and is worth your time considering.

Off topic, but is there an LLM that has DEFLATE as one of its modalities?

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming:
Readers added context
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math. rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-sp… github.com/RikiyaT/lm_und… huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0… huggingface.co/RikiyaT/Qwen3.…

Tried Antigravity.. Its tiny limits on its free tier don't really allow time to justify subscribing. Would be handy if it were possible to be granted an evaluation license so I could properly try before buying.
