I'm still in Florida. Still at NuCO2. 14+ years now. I don't remember the last time we spoke, so I'm not sure what I've told you. I've been divorced since '02. Adam's fourteen now. He's a really good kid. Hardly any trouble at all, except when it comes to being motivated in school. You'd be proud of him. He's turned into a really good little guitar player. He taught himself how to play, which was pretty amazing. Then we got him in lessons for a few years and now he just jams away. Hopefully he'll get himself in a band soon. I keep picturing him being like you, playing in the college pub for spending money.
I've been dating a great girl for 3 1/2 years. I met her on an internet dating site. She lived in Ft. Lauderdale when we met, but she's since sold her house down there and moved up here to Jupiter. No living together or marriage yet. She's leery about moving in with a teenager. She went through hell with her own son.
On a kind of downer note, I was diagnosed with Lymphoma about two years ago. So far no symptoms, so no treatment yet. I did have some radiation when they first found it, but they didn't catch it early enough to cure it, so now it's just watch and wait. I'm trying to stay positive about it. It's a very non-aggressive type, so I'm hoping to stay around for a while.
I would check Facebook every once in a while to see if you ever signed up. There's a Richard Koloski on there, but definitely not you. You're much better looking than the other one. So I resorted to a Google search and found you here. A lot of the old WPC crowd is on Facebook. George, Sartini, Tessier, Kathy Coda. A lot of them ask about you.
So, give me an update on what's been going on in your life. Wife, kids, where you're living, what's happened to you in the past 20 years. And let me know if you ever get down my way. I'd love to see ya. My email address is sluks@bellsouth.net. Hope to hear from you soon. I had to edit stuff out because of the text limit.

Hey Rick. Miss you my friend. It's been too long. How have you been? I'd love to catch up some time. Drop me a line.

Yes, Rick - there's a Jobs group. You can post your req't there. The only stipulation is that you must state a salary, a rate or at least a range.

Apple's Illusion of Thinking Paper Explores Limits of Large Reasoning Models

Apple Machine Learning Research published a paper titled "The Illusion of Thinking," which investigates the abilities of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) on a set of puzzles. As the complexity of the puzzles increases, the researchers found that LRMs encounter a "collapse" threshold where the models reduce their reasoning effort, indicating a limit to the models' scalability.

Presentation: A Framework for Building Micro Metrics for LLM System Evaluation

Denys Linkov shares lessons on preventing LLM production issues. He explains the flaws of single metrics, the importance of treating models as observable systems, building user-issue-alerting metrics, and focusing on business value. He emphasizes a "crawl, walk, run" approach to LLM metric maturity for successful, trust-building deployments.
