The article discusses the advantages of using "boring technology" like LaTeX in conjunction with large language models (LLMs). It highlights how LLMs enhance the user experience with LaTeX by simplifying the learning process, debugging, and automating tedious tasks, while contrasting it with newer, less familiar technologies like Typst. The author expresses a preference for LaTeX due to its extensive resources and community support.

The article discusses the integration of Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning with large language models (LLMs) to create a more effective planning system for product development. It highlights the advantages of combining structured, human-defined planning with the creative flexibility of LLMs, illustrated through the author's project, Rock-n-Roll, which helps users transform ideas into actionable plans.

The article discusses the evolution of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and argues that modern Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate infrastructure requirements directly from application code, thereby eliminating the cognitive overhead associated with traditional IaC practices. It highlights the shift towards expressing infrastructure needs within application logic rather than through separate configuration files.

The article discusses the security vulnerabilities of local large language models (LLMs), particularly gpt-oss-20b, which are more easily tricked by attackers compared to larger frontier models. It details two types of attacks: one that plants hidden backdoors disguised as harmless features, and another that executes malicious code during the coding process by exploiting cognitive overload. The research highlights the significant risks of using local LLMs in coding environments.

The article discusses the concept of context engineering in the realm of large language models (LLMs) and emphasizes the often-overlooked potential of hyperlinks in managing context efficiently. It highlights how hyperlinks can facilitate incremental learning and exploration, drawing parallels between human learning processes and how LLMs can utilize linked data for more effective interaction with information. The author advocates for implementing a link-based context system to enhance the functionality of LLMs and APIs.

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is exploring the implications of large language models (LLMs) on free software licensing, particularly regarding copyrightability and potential licensing issues of LLM-generated code. In a recent session, FSF representatives discussed the challenges posed by non-free models and the necessity for metadata and transparency in code submissions. The FSF is currently surveying free-software projects to better understand their positions on LLM output and is considering updates to the Free Software Definition rather than a new GPL version.
