In this post I'll show you how I found a zeroday vulnerability in the Linux kernel using OpenAI's o3 model. I found the vulnerability with nothing more complicated than the o3 API - no scaffolding, no agentic frameworks, no tool use. Recently I've been auditing ksmbd for vulnerabilities. ksmbd is "a linux kernel server which…

When Alexander Hamilton became the nation’s first Secretary of the Treasury, he immediately began to prepare a schedule of tariffs, along with excise taxes on such commodities as alcohol and tobacco. The Constitution forbids taxing the exports of any state, and so American tariffs have always been laid only on imports.

日本PC-98电脑的世界

PC-98是NEC公司于1980年代在日本推出的个人电脑系列，凭借其卓越的图形性能，在80-90年代主导了日本市场，占据了60-70%的份额。它以其独特的、充满怀旧感的像素艺术风格闻名，这种风格以4096色的调色板和精细的手工渐变为特征，催生了独特的视觉文化，并持续影响着当代的艺术家和互联网亚文化。

PC-98的技术与市场

PC-9800系列电脑采用了定制芯片，旨在支持复杂的日文字符和丰富的色彩显示。与当时IBM PC或早期Macintosh相比，它拥有远超的视频内存，这使其成为游戏开发者的理想平台。尽管机器运行速度较慢且与MS-DOS不兼容，但其强大的图形能力催生了大量游戏创作，PC-98因此被戏称为“动漫电脑”。

游戏生态与同人文化

PC-98平台孕育了庞大的游戏库，涵盖模拟城市类游戏、赛博朋克冒险、弹幕射击以及后来成为主流的“视觉小说”类型。知名游戏制作人如小岛秀夫（《合金装备》）的生涯也始于该平台。

其生态的核心是“同人”（Doujin）文化——由业余爱好者、艺术家和独立开发者组成的社群。他们创作了数以千计的游戏，题材广泛，从冒险游戏到极为奇特甚至成人化的内容。这些作品往往游走于版权边缘，且经常挑战社会禁忌。许多开发者后来进入了主流游戏产业，而这种同人软盘直邮的发行模式，也延续至今仍有少量新作发布。

衰落与遗产

随着Windows兼容机性能的超越和PC硬件标准化，NEC在90年代末市场份额急剧下滑，最终于2000年代初期彻底放弃PC-98平台。开发者和成人游戏爱好者迁移至Windows和Mac系统。

尽管PC-98作为硬件已成为历史，但其美学遗产通过“蒸汽波”音乐、独立动画（如保罗·罗伯逊）和现代游戏（如《恐怖的世界》）得以延续。一个专注于保存和模拟PC-98内容的小型社区依然存在，确保了这个充满奇特魅力与创意的数字时代不会被完全遗忘。
