Using lightweight LLMs to cut incident response times and reduce hallucinations

Researchers from the University of Melbourne and Imperial College London have developed a method for using LLMs to improve incident response planning with a focus on reducing the risk of hallucinations. Their approach uses a smaller, fine-tuned LLM combined with retrieval-augmented generation and decision-theoretic planning.

Platypus PP-Ethernet-RS422/485 with Raspberry Pi RP2040 and W5500 for Serial-to-Ethernet Conversion

The PP-Ethernet-RS422/485 from Platypus is a compact module that bridges serial communication with Ethernet networks. It is based on WIZnet’s W55RP20, a chip combining Raspberry Pi’s RP2040 MCU and the W5500 Ethernet controller, providing a low-cost and integrated solution for serial-to-Ethernet conversion. The RP2040 provides dual Arm Cortex-M0+ processors with 264 KB of SRAM, while […]

Steam On Linux Use Recedes Slightly During August

For the Steam Survey results published last month for July it showed Steam on Linux use approaching 3%. With hitting 2.89% in July there was hope that perhaps in August it would breach the elusive 3.0% threshold not seen since the original days of Steam on Linux when the overall Steam user base was also much smaller than it is today.
