LLMs’ ‘Simulated Reasoning’ Abilities Are a ‘Brittle Mirage,’ Researchers Find

I’m shocked, shocked!

Well not that shocked

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure is. I wonder how many websites I’ll have to just completely opt out of because of it.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz yeah it’s pretty terrible these days. Most recent trouble I had was something as simple as installing and setting up the Tailscale client. On literally all my other devices (Linux and Android) that was a cinch, but on Windows…. ohh boy, I had to mess around with reg edits and all sorts of crap and eventually bludgeoned it into working, but it was a bloody pain.

Distrobox is pretty handy and kind of amazed I haven’t played with it before now. I wanted to quickly try out Proton’s Authenticator they just released, but they only had binaries for Ubuntu and Fedora (naturally), but I’m on Void Linux on this laptop.

Installed the latest basic Fedora image with Distrobox, used dnf to install the downloaded rpm file within it, and presto, running the app within Void like I’d just downloaded it though the normal repos.

Certainly explains why in some parts of the interwebs I’ve noticed RWNJs suddenly hating on anything Wayland and pushing XLibre.

Wild when display servers become political battlegrounds.
