I agree, but I think it's a shame that this purpose to life is tied to jobs. It's understandable, because pretty much everyone's path in life is schooling, then a job. So the job becomes our purpose and identity. Job loss can

Believe it or not, many people genuinely don't see an alternative to having a job. So when AI threatens jobs, rather than call for measures to ensure people can live without jobs, they call for jobs to be protected.

> Without an incentive (i.e., paycheck) for people to work (e.g., code, write articles, answer forum questions, etc.) Many people do all those things in their spare time, unpaid, because they genuinely enjoy it. Let's not conflate w

I understand that, and that's what I was trying to get at with the post. That an AI future which can take away jobs, doesn't have to be a bad one if the paycheck is replaced with something else. The Rutger Bergman piece I linked t

Definition of conflict of interest: a conflict between the private interests and the official responsibilities of a person in a position of trust. Army generals are in a position of trust, we assume they're acting in the public interes

As the person suggesting that the Guardian is somehow an exception in the UK media, I think the onus should be on you to prove it. I merely pointed out that the report did not say any such thing, and gave you an example from the Guardian sh

I'm sorry, that's a real stretch. It's apparent to anyone reading what his comment implies. And this is far from an isolated case, if you think the Guardian is an exception. We're all technical here, easy to use Google s

The report doesn't say the media mentioned is an exhaustive list of the media that failed to disclose ties to the arms industry, which is what you're assuming. You mention the Guardian. I took one of the names listed in the report

I think this is the main problem many are overlooking. Much of the fear for website owners that's leading them to block all automated access is simply that their business model relies on humans visiting the site. They're not sitti

I was using llms.txt as the general idea of providing an alternative version of your content for agents - whether that's llms.txt for the entire site, my-article.md instead of my-article.html for a specific page, or via content-negotia

by k1m 4mo ago
But that isn't that different from requesting the llms.txt version. Why not just make it so the useful content you want the LLM to focus on is easily retrievable from the same HTML the user's browser gets? The sanity.io page write

Big fan of reader mode. For me, a direction better than llms.txt would be to encourage sites to improve their markup (think semantic web era) so agents could get the text version from that the way reader mode does. Would achieve the same th

With how bloated and ad-ridden websites have become, I'd love the pure text version for us humans - let the agents deal with stuff intended for us. But I also have my doubts we'll see that. Regarding the bad actors point, that&#

Agree. It's unfortunate that people new to development are encouraged to embrace practices that large teams in big companies have had to adopt. It might make sense for career development, but it makes for a miserable development experi

I find CSS selectors a lot easier to write than XPath. I recently gave a talk on how PHP's new DOM API makes working with HTML and CSS selectors natively very easy (previously you had to convert CSS to XPath).[1] It's a shame that

by k1m 9mo ago
The crucial difference is that the US is in no way supporting Iran but was and is heavily supporting Israel. So a protest in the US to stop that support is wortwhile. A protest to stop non-existent support is pointless.

His point is that those Gaza numbers had much more backing than these numbers. Yet they were questioned endlessly.
