How did you hear about Codetown?
I went to a JUG meeting, and I found out there's a "facebook for coders". I don't have a facebook, but a facebook for coders doesn't sound so bad.
What are your main interests in software development?
right now, I'm just interested in learning as many languages as I can as well as I can (I'm decent at C++ and Perl, and I can say hello world in Java, Python, Lisp, Haskell, JavaScript, Ruby, and C#), and getting some practical coding experience under my belt. as far as projects go, I'm not good enough at either relevant language (C++/C#) to program games for my phone, but that's probably what I'll end up doing a lot of over the next year.

well, that and learning some of this new XHTML stuff (last time I wrote HTML was almost a decade ago. I hear it's changed) and figuring out CGI.pm, so I can put up a web site.
Do you have a website?

Anything else you'd like to add? Where do you live? (optional!)
I don't care what anyone says, I still think JavaScript.onMouseOver is a funny way to play internet pranks on people.

OpenAI Study Investigates the Causes of LLM Hallucinations and Potential Solutions

In a recent research paper, OpenAI suggested that the tendency of LLMs to hallucinate stems from the way standard training and evaluation methods reward guessing over acknowledging uncertainty. According to the study, this insight could pave the way for new techniques to reduce hallucinations and build more trustworthy AI systems, but not all agree on what hallucinations are in the first place.
