The current chaos in WordPress caused by Matt seems like a good time to remind folks that the Mastodon “community” websites and trademarks are 100% owned by one man, despite pleas from current and former project members to make Mastodon a foundation with a board.
I’m glad we wrote that paper. However LLMs “still lack basic reasoning skills” makes me cringe.
Information theory tells me that because an LLM is a finite set that is not able to grow itself, once it is trained has a finite capability. And that capability is driven by statistics and numbers.
intuitively (to me at least) if you present an LLM with a prompt that’s weird enough it will “hallucinate” answers because it has no critical thinking, it’s just a big probability machine that tries to find the most likely answer to your question. As a result, present an LLM with a chess problem brain teaser unique setup, chances is the LLM will make up rules because what it trained against isn’t chess rules but “in general chess problems end with a checkmate” and it will interpolate the movements from where you are to a checkmate.

Lets Encrypt will disable OCSP about 6 months after Microsoft Root program allows it to (the browsers have already okayed it).
This all could be over in a year, year and a half. If you need OCSP for your business, you need to investigate alternatives NOW - which are all proprietary.
Apache ACME will handle this change just fine. Stapling will of course no longer be provided to clients.

Steam updated its platform to clarify that game purchases grant a license, not ownership, in response to California's AB 2426 law, which takes effect in 2025. So yes, the games you buy don’t actually belong to you https://alternativeto.net/news/2024/10/steam-now-makes-it-crystal-clear-that-you-re-purchasing-a-license-not-the-actual-game/
TIL there is a thing called #Sarif, a Static Analysis Results Interchange Format, developed by Microsoft.
