In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.

I know the author will probably never read this, but in the off chance they or someone else working on open source accessibility reads it:

Thank you. So much ❤️ Your hard work and dedication keeps me going when times get rough.

And thanks for the rant. Nobody should have to suffer in silence, and that includes you. So any time you want to rant at us leeches about working in open source, please don’t hesitate to put us in our place.

I hope that we find a way to make the internet a more positive and celebratory place for people like you who do hard work the rest of us don’t have the time or energy for.

Just fyi, console can be more usable than gui for many disabled people. Text-to-Speech software relies on there being text, and mouses require fine motor movements.

This is a pretty important finding for researchers, and it’s not obvious by any means. This finding is not showing a problem with LLMs’ abilities in general. The issue they discovered is specifically for so-called “reasoning models” that iterate on their answer before replying. It might indicate that the training process is not sufficient for true reasoning.

Most reasoning models are not incentivized to think correctly, and are only rewarded based on their final answer. This research might indicate that’s a flaw that needs to be corrected before models can actually reason.
