I'm the author and content lead at Tigris. My policy for the team is "do not self post to hacker news".

As someone that works for a company that gets a 100% score on ax-check, all the effort I've put into making it accessible for agents has not 10xed the growth numbers like I was told it would.

They don't read robots.txt anyways so it doesn't matter.

Yes. It's impossible to tell which because the split is residential proxies, dataset curators, and AI companies all being separate actors. However I fucking guarantee you it's out there and people are too cowardly to be honest abo

AI bros think they should be exempt from robots.txt. Administrators of big services beg to differ. No solid consensus has arisen. I bet it's gonna take a lawsuit or two to see how it shakes out.

I did that too! The update servers are hammered as is tradition.

No I think it's one of my IP range blocks against specific US states in protest of them advocating against people that exist in the same conditions as me backfiring. I'm gonna go nuke that firewall rule.

I think you accidentally a word. Did you mean: > I've yet to have a logical discussion with anyone who thinks the "AI Safety" people should be in charge and I think they just truly don't [know] that what most them act

I've occasionally pitched the idea of exposing transactions for object storage based on bucket forking. I think the idea is finally starting to land, but it's a really "out there" usecase that is likely hard to conceptua

No, there is soul in this that a soulless automaton cannot replicate. It is the difference between making something to be consumed and something to be felt. This is something to be felt.

Please submit a fix to cgit then.

This is exactly what I've been working on. For obvious reasons around it not being done yet, I don't have anything else to say.

If you don't disable browser features for fun and/or sport, Chrome as of version 120 or later (or another browser of that vintage) will use the optimized flow.

It's in the range of 32-40Ki before compression. After compression it gets to be completely negligible.

I assume that SIMD acceleration is usable with WebCrypto, but I have no evidence either way. It's also not part of WebAssembly so there's that to consider too lol

Not only is it an example, it specifically is one of the first things I use to test experimental features so I get data back instantly.

I don't mean to be rude, but please search "wasm2js" in the article.

Look, if you're going out of your way to break expected behaviour on websites you shouldn't be surprised when people code to the most common denominator and then you have weird subtle breakage as a result.

This is why there's the meta refresh challenge as an option: https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challeng... Turns out that in practice there's some bots that implement support for t

Oops, there's your proof I didn't write this with AI! Fixing, sorry.

Refresh, the Anubis docs site regenerates its cookie secret on every deploy as part of the "holy shit did I break everything?" verification step.

One of the standard library rules enables robots.txt passthrough by default. I can't control people not choosing to use it.

I want to do this eventually, but it's hard to split things into the micro-tasks that would be required to make this work on Anubis. One of the ideas I'm throwing around is a world where Anubis helps fuzz old games to find timesav

I'm working on this with a private prototype. I'm probably going to lean towards using a Service Worker ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Wor... ) to renew challenges at
