You probably violated a Nintendo NDA by even mentioning that the exporter exists on the forums.

Wrong documentation is perhaps worse than no documentation. Although Apple provides little, at least it is usually accurate, and what's left you know you must reverse engineer.

I think if you have that problem, then you're not using AI as a tool; AI is using you. Using AI as a tool doesn't mean having it do everything; it means you have the skill and knowledge to know where and how you can use it.

robots.txt is for automated, headless crawlers, NOT user-initiated actions. If a human directly triggers the action, then robots.txt should not be followed.

These aren't scraper bots; they're vulnerability scanners. They don't expect PHP source code and probably don't even read the response body at all. I don't know why people would assume these are AI/LLM scrapers

802.11ah hardware is sadly still rather expensive. The cheapest thing I could find is a $40 PCIe card (M.2 form factor); USB dongles for it are still $100+. At this point, it's probably worth abandoning 802.11ah as an idea and trying s

Google has few walls, but the ones that are there are like solid titanium. Nextcloud has many thin, flimsy walls that are simply annoying but not terrible to tear down.

This post really has no reason to be flagged. I know Elon is controversial, and I have a lot of gripes with his business practices myself, but this is literally just documentation for a frontier LLM. Can we stay on topic?

Only using the word "Authorities" in the title understates the significance of this. This is not the US government shutting down a film festival; this is the Chinese government engaging in an illegal overseas harrassment campaign
