Flipper Zero DarkWeb Firmware Bypasses Rolling Code Security

news.ycombinator.com Written By 2026-01-04 15:10:42

Over on YouTube Talking Sasquach has recently tested custom firmware for the Flipper Zero that can entirely break the rolling code security system used on most modern vehicles. Rolling code security works by using a synchronized algorithm between a transmitter and receiver to generate a new, unique code for each transmission, preventing replay attacks and unauthorized access. In the past we've discussed an attack against rolling code security systems called RollJam, which works by jamming the o

OpenAI’s GPT-5 is here

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2026-01-04 10:00:00

OpenAI has launched GPT-5, a new flagship AI model that will power the company’s next generation of ChatGPT. GPT-5, which was released Thursday, is OpenAI’s first “unified” AI model and combines the reasoning abilities of its o-series of models with the fast responses of its GPT series. The next-generation model signals a new era for ChatGPT — and its creator, OpenAI — pointing to OpenAI’s broader ambitions to develop AI systems that are more like agents than chatbots.

High costs and thin margins threatening AI coding startups

techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2026-01-04 15:05:01

In February, AI coding startup Windsurf was in talks to raise a big new round at a $2.85 billion valuation led by Kleiner Perkins, at double the valuation it hit six months earlier, sources told TechCrunch at the time. That deal didn’t happen, according to a source familiar with the matter. Instead, news broke in April that the startup planned to sell itself to OpenAI for roughly the same valuation: $3 billion. While that deal famously fell apart, one bigger question remains: If the startup was

OpenAI's new open-source model is basically Phi-5

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-04 17:59:46

OpenAI just released its first ever open-source large language models, called gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b. You can talk to them here. Are they good models? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for. They’re great at some benchmarks, of course (OpenAI would never have released them otherwise) but weirdly bad at others, like SimpleQA. Some people really like them. Others on Twitter really don’t. From what I can tell, they’re technically competent but lack a lot of out-of-domain knowledge: fo

"GPT-5 has been trained to recognize when a task can't be finished, avoid speculation and can explain limitations more clearly, which reduces unsupported claims compared to prior models," said Michelle Pokrass, a post-training lead at OpenAI. Instead of outright refusing to answer users' questions if they are potentially risky, GPT-5 will use "safe completions," OpenAI said.
