A quick explanation: “Greytrapping as implemented in spamd puts offenders in a temporary blacklist, dubbed spamd-greytrap, for 24 hours. Twenty-four hours is short enough to not cause serious disruption of legitimate traffic, since real SMTP implementations will keep trying to deliver for a few days at least.”

How does it work? (From another article linked in this post)..

“We already know that spam senders rarely use a fully compliant SMTP implementation to send their messages. That's why greylisting works. Also, as we noted earlier, not only do spammers send large numbers of messages, they rarely check that the addresses they feed to their hijacked machines are actually deliverable. Combine these facts, and you see that if a greylisted machine tries to send a message to an invalid address in your domain, there is a significant probability that the message is a spam, or for that matter, malware.”


“However, with the same model, if you just use the completions API and then parse the output, it will return the correct quantity…”


The article includes a youtube video, where an NPC shares facts about the archeological site (i assume backed by knowledge from an LLM).

Pretty cool, I can see this as useful to a lot of different museums or organizations.

It would be interesting for the NPC to ask the player how they wanted information to be delivered- “I’m a hurried. Tourist, keep your responses short”.


Nice breakdown.


“We uncover a systematic failure: LLMs cannot correct errors in their own outputs while successfully correcting identical errors from external sources - a limitation we term the Self-Correction Blind Spot.”


FYI, ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System.


correct, thank you


“The Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) project is a rethinking of computer architecture in order to improve system security.”


Published in 2014.


>Published in 2014.

Yes, that is in the article.

Anything you wish to add?

Developments since then the article lacks?


It's common practice here to point out the date of older articles so the year can be added to the post title.

I see, I hope you can understand where I was coming from, seeing the year in the title paired with what looks like a snarky comment devoid of any analysis of said article.


it's not a blog article about outdated technical topics, so who cares


It's just a convention. We (moderators) append the year of an article (in parens) when an article is from a previous year. Of course we miss many cases, and commenters often helpfully point those out. In this case colinprince added the year to the title (thanks!) but otherwise we would have.

It's not that anybody did anything wrong—historical material is welcome here! and it's nice for readers to know roughly what time an article dates from. That's all.


Sorry I was snippy, I thought they were casting aspersions on the science inside the article due to the date, which is a pet peeve given anything biosciences related moves much more slowly than CS given the (rightful and good) restrictions around human subjects research.

Ah, I ran into a gunicorn issue with timeouts and worker timeouts. Thanks for that.


Very interesting article. Well-explained.
