Websites usually want their pages indexed for search engines, as it increases the traffic they receive. They also often try to allow archival usage. The robots.txt usually has defined user agents used by search engines defined, as one purpose is to reduce load on the website by not indexing pages that do not need to be indexed.

It might not be what is happening as there are other ways around, but this is a real possibility for how it could be done. (at least until the websites allowing other user agents decide they want to try to stop archive.is usage, etc)

edit: I think the probability is probably high that they have multiple methods for archiving a website. I think in this post, there are many people stating that they've previously stated they just convert the link to an AMP link and archive it. I'm more so doubtful that's all they do, but it could be it too.

Using the robots.txt file in this way might not be how the author's of the website intended for it to be used. I could see that maybe being used against them in a legal system if someone ever tried to stop them. In the past, I've seen websites state to people creating bots to purposefully change their user agent to one they defined, but, using it for a non-allowed purpose is what I was mentioning. Though, there are multiple ways they could be archiving a website, so this is not necessarily how it is being done.
I ran Windows XP x64 on my personal desktop until 2013. It was solid and dependable for me, though I did heavily customise it (custom Visual Styles themes, disabling features I didn’t like, some hacks to bring-forward sone features from Windows 7, etc)
Considering this is from the Economist, I think it is worth to mention the dire state of British railways.

The main reason that Europeans fly (including Brits) is that it's simply the cheapest option, more-so that bus in many cases. Airplanes are pretty much providing services similar or lower than to buses, and trains tend to have better service and also tend to be more comfortable these days. Most airplanes have been reduced to low cost or no-frills status, even the full service ones, and flying is a nightmare in terms of peace-of-mind and comfort.

Deutsche Bahn is one of the better railway operators in Europe, especially compared to the railways in Southern Europe or the UK, but obviously there are a lot of improvements that need to be made.
Agreed. One reason you can't "policy away" snark is another reason it's best to separate your sense of self from your work: what you hear as snark when you're feeling down, maybe wasn't even snark, it might have been lightheartedness. I can think of a review I gave recently where I saw someone having to work around something confusing that my team is ALWAYS having to work around, and I just commented on what a mess it was. In hindsight, it could have sounded like snarky criticism of the patch, when in reality it was meant as supportive, empathic, camaraderie. If I was giving the code review face to face verbally, probably would have come across. At least we have emojis.
I think the lack of comments, post information like time, are either not there or not very discoverable. The colour scheme looks like it was chosen at random. The portraits for users are definitely chosen at random
An attack made with the explicit purpose to prevent the US from putting up a fight as Japan took internationally recognized US territory.
Only the bottom 2 out of top 10 are open-source and available for commercial use. So if you want to use an open-source LLM for your commercial product, be aware that your competitors who use proprietary LLMs through APIs will outperform you dramatically. Or am I missing something?
The actual difference is almost certainly moot at the end of the day since the ISPs are all in bed with the feds, but the concept of getting my internet from the same institution (read: Government) that brought us the patriot act sounds less than ideal.
All car brands ADAS are imperfect. If it phantom brakes you just push the accelerator, or simply don't use the ADAS.

You can drive the car normally, you aren't forced to use ADAS if you don't like it.
You don't have to claim it for the precious commenter to be saying that. They could be replying to someone else.
It's just blocking the root. Look up the specifications for the robots.txt for more information. One purpose is to reduce loads on parts of the website that they do not want indexed.
This is usually just used as a sneak attack on someone's else's suggestion, a way to call it unrealistic without actually making a case that it's unrealistic. Rest assured, the people who tell you not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good do not think that what you suggested is either perfect or good, they just want you to shut up.

The "fallacy" in this vein that I see is when after Bob suggests idea A to solve problem X, Mary says that idea A shouldn't be done because idea B is better for problem X, but Mary also doesn't support idea B. Mary actually supports problem X, but if she admitted that, she would lose her influence on the reaction to problem X.
Even with that 5 year lead, I would rather buy an EV from any other "mainstream" automaker. The build quality even on a 2023 manufactured Tesla is just insulting. If I buy a BMW I'm also being ripped off but at least the door panel won't fall off if I slam the door, and BMW will repair faults within days and not months.
EU regulations are basically a full employment program for VPN engineers.
Jalopnik is absolutely garbage "journalism", they have a long long history of hating on Tesla.

I've been working extensively with LLMs on a generative storytelling side project (named www.generativestorytelling.ai because I am terrible at naming things) and once prompts start getting complex, ChatGPT wins by a landslide. I can do all sorts of complicated prompts to ChatGPT[0] and it will, by and large, come up with great output.

Meanwhile, Bard gets confused by basic things such as "after this message I will send another one, do not reply until the second message is sent" and instead tries to immediately reply.

IMHO not very many people doing reviews of chatbots are really pushing them the bots to their limits, and those who are pushing the bots really hard are often too busy to take the time and make their work public (which is the reason I am developing in the open!)

YouTube search is so bad. I assume it's on purpose considering Google of all people should be able to figure out search. If the video you're looking for isn't in the top five results search is pretty much useless.
The coup attempt in Perú was by a leftist politician, it wasn't some right-wing power grab. Castillo was overwhelmingly voted to be removed from power by democratic means. He flailed and tried to get the military on his side and it didn't work. The current president of Perú is not some installed puppet, it's Castillo's vice president.

Saying it was US anti-leftist meddling is baseless conspiracy theory.

I worked at a large semiconductor company in 2013-16. It was very clear it was fucked. It took about 8 years before its stock price suffered any real headwind in its stock price. So who the fuck knows.
I'm not understanding your comment.

Wars have generally been money losers for the nations involved and money-makers for businesses and individuals connected to power (Krupps to United Fruit to Wagner Group to etc). Wars have generally involved the egos of leaders but these leaders nearly always consider their friends who'll get rich through it.
Flying in Europe is now basically similar to taking a bus, even for all the full service airlines as well. It's only on a handful of international routes to Asia where you can get a nice level of service if you opt for the higher classes. In ever aspect there is very little comfort in plane travel these days, whereas train travel is generally more comfortable and with better services.
Honestly the links in the article are really good whether you hate a16z or not.
The Ukraine has its own rich history of dishonesty.

The first day of war: Ukraine says that Russian warship killed with missiles all Ukranian border guards on the Zmeiniy island. Everyone is shocked by this senseless cruelty.
Russian MoD says that guards are taken prisoners. Nobody believes.

Two weeks later: Ukrainian Defence Minister gives medals to the border guards safely returned to Kiev.

Every customer complaint about unintended acceleration of Teslas was proven in court to be the fault of the customer confusing the pedals. The accelerator pedal has two independent sensors measuring input - they both have to agree, and no input on the brake pedal must be detected for the vehicle to accelerate.

They go a step further. They use their cameras to detect the environment and significantly slow down acceleration if they think it might be a mistake.
Absolutely this. This comment [1] hit me hard when I read it:

>I never understood the good effects of American hegemony until they started breaking down.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a harbinger of what a world without American hegemony looks like. In that world, you're going to have a very bad time.

The larger the number of product devs, and the larger footprint of the product, the more people you need supporting them with tooling and infrastructure of various types.

Do you think hegemonic mono-culture mono-ideal is preferable to a multi-polar world of competing ideas and systems? If so, how do you prevent the hegemon from transmutating to the very thing we feared in the first place?
"FOSS self-driving cars" is a dream so bold I dare not dream it. In some other timeline, we have had an "internet of roads" built on cooperative standards. Instead we have trendy death-traps that make fart noises sold as status symbols.
Some people look good in a suit, I look like "the accused"
I mean, so far yes. At the same time we have tons of people spending billions of dollars to make sure that's not the case, and I'm pretty sure they are going to succeed.
> 'keep your lane' tends to be the rule if the right hand lane is also moving at the speed limit (so you can't legally pass).

Why are you in the lefter lane if you can't pass?

I've been in rush hour (where keep-to-the-right-unless-passing is very strictly enforced) in bumper-to-bumper traffic and the left two (out of 6) are completely empty and everyone is doing 'around' the speed limit. Some are in the right lane doing a few below the limit, some are in the left-most lane doing a few above.

Occasionally, someone who is late to work, emergency services, or whatever goes flying by in one of the left-most lanes.

Maybe you could say that for the 2016 election. Trump lost in 2020.
One a rare occasion I actually got feedback after the interview (it was for a startup), It was because I asked 'too many questions' it was decided that I'd need way more mentoring than they can afford for the senior position I was applying for.
I think it's not fair to fault DB or EVG for failing to run 100% service after a nationwide strike was called off just a few hours before it was supposed to start. An orderly temporary shutdown of a major rail network is going to require plenty of ramp-down and ramp-up as trains and people get in position. Some of that was undoubtedly already underway when the tentative agreement was reached, and you can't just turn it around on a dime.
Bard isn’t available in the EU or Canada, so there’s one competitor they don’t need to worry about. That doesn’t seem to be a bluff?

Perhaps people will learn to use VPN’s like some US folks did for cryptocurrency exchanges? Or maybe it will be a boost for an open source project that gets a reputation for reliability. (Well, reliable for an AI chatbot, which is not very reliable by most standards.)
It's not just the software. They are trying to make due without the kind of sensors that are required to properly sense the immediate environment (LIDAR)
I'd suggest reading through this:

https://bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/prioritization/

Of note is this:

> First, under any hypothetical prioritization scenario, the federal government would be failing to meet some of its obligations. There is no legal precedent for choosing to pay certain bills before others. Immediate court battles would likely arise over the legality of paying, for example, foreign bondholders over American citizens. What would be the logical interpretation of a court ruling in favor of a legal claimant? A default on the full faith and credit of the United States?

Given that the constitution talks about "debts" without being specific about what that means, I think it's also debatable whether or not the 14th amendment applies to other types of spending obligations beyond just interest owed to bondholders.

This has been in my head for awhile. It would give a "common ground" or "common understanding" that Americans seem to lack at this point. I would hope something like this would provide a framework to communicate for wildly differing political ideas.
Indices are far more likely to cause a cliff than to remove one, IME. Full table scans are linear and grow linearly. Indices are crazy fast until one day they're suddenly not.
Eh, Tesla has already shown the world how to make commercially viable EVs. That's a torch the risk averse legacy auto manufacturers can take up, now that Tesla has done the derisking. Now someone needs to prove out self-driving, even at the risk of some short-term reputational harm. I don't think people realize the life-saving potential in solving this problem.
Well, there was an exchange of Missiles with Iran. That almost went full war, until Iran shot back and they were like 'Wuuuut, they can do that?'.

And missiles shot at Syrian air base, where Russian/Syrian planes were luckily moved just in time, very conveniently, almost like it was a good PR stunt.

That story is about getting China to respect some system of IP protection. It's a trade dispute. The US does not literally care how rich the Chinese people are - that's an insane idea that only shows up in Chinese propaganda.

“America is most effective when we work with our allies,” Raimondo told CNBC’s Kayla Tausche in an exclusive interview. “If we really want to slow down China’s rate of innovation, we need to work with Europe.”

“They’re ripping off our IP, they are not playing by the rules. It’s not a level playing field. And so we need to hold their feet to the fire to make sure that they do that,” she said, adding that Beijing is “not living up to the agreements that they made.”
I'm not sure it could be for this complex quantization scheme. It's not a simple round to nearest quantization. Even if it is possible, it would require someone to develop that functionality. Currently it does load the entire unquantized model into RAM first.
How does these polls work? What’s the selection process? I’ve never been asked what I politically identify as, and I imagine anyone who asks would be disappointed that I would refuse place myself as something fitting whatever binary/trinary categories they have in mind.
To be specific, it proved that the elections are “fair” in the sense that they follow the rules as written. They don’t, for example, fairly represent the populace.
Darknet markets, political dissident funding, the money laundering via mining trick, etc.. All pretty big innovations even if you don't like them
Making sure, firstly, that your implementation is clean room and, secondly, that you can prove that in court, is quite a hassle, though, especially if your implementers visited various conferences and standard meetings where they met people working on the feature being reimplemented.
Im familiar with the argument in favor of this within the past couple years. But what case is there that they started 15 years ago?
One important thing to remember here is that PyPI was originally started in 2002 as a weekend hack project that grew overtime to become the piece of critical infrastructure it is today. There's a lot of stuff in PyPI that exists as historical baggage and cruft and reviewing them just never bubbled up to be a priority. Likewise a lot of the policies it has have been added and grown overtime as something happened that caused us to need one.

On top of all of that, it's volunteer run and has been understaffed for basically it's entire life, so sitting down and figuring out a proper data retention policy that takes a holistic view of everything we have just never bubbled up.

In general I think we already do a pretty good job of collecting a minimal amount of data, and hopefully with proper policies we can do an even better job.
It depends on the company. Fewer and fewer companies go beyond "business casual" these days. Large law firm? I would wear a suit. Ycombinator startup? Likely put you at a disadvantage.

I would love this for French. How do you want to handle modifying the code for other languages on GitHub? A new separate project fork per language, or a pull request to the current one? Slightly problematic that "Italian" is in the top level project name if it's going to be configurable for other languages.

Also, add a tip jar somewhere so we can chip in!
He had press conferences where he openly 'colluded' with Russia, I can't believe that isn't brought up more. It was live, recorded video. I saw it on the news, in a live press conference. Its just that nobody believes what he is saying, so he gets away with saying anything he wants.

CO2 has not ramped up without notice, nor did ozone nor pfas. There are active efforts too handle each of them, and the only reason we aren't cracking down on most of those harder is that the utility they provide to human beings is far greater than the damages right now.
I feel this somewhat generalizes. "Cases where a simple list/array is better than a hashed collection." Which, oddly has the perverse problem of "when you should give up on a single collection of your data, and embrace storing it in different ways."

That is, few folks seem to internalize or consider that every index is essentially a copy of the data. A complete copy, if you are doing a fully projected index. So, when is it better to just do a full scan over something else? Well, its probably never better in isolation of every other concern. But, when is it better to just do a scan of the data over duplicating it in a place that would let you hash in? Depends on how much extra work you are doing because of it?

Having typed that, really I think the trick is to ask yourself roughly (not exactly, amusingly) what it means to add an index. Or to use a hashtable. Or to use a list and a hashtable. And realize that the question of using an index is the same as the question of keeping another copy of your data somewhere.
When do you (HN readers) think that we'll have an open source model that scores 1150 or higher, and where do you think it'll come from?
Similarly, using the word "original" to describe plain potato chips is wrong. It's the most unoriginal flavor of the lot. Just call it "plain".

I just released a new version of my book A Lisp Programmer Living in Python-Land: The Hy Programming Language. Purchase or read free online: https://leanpub.com/hy-lisp-python

Changes:

1. Updated code for latest Hy language version 0.26.0

2. Added a chapter with examples using Open AI GPT-3.5 APIs

3. Added a chapter using the LangChain library

The Hy language is very cool. It is a Lisp language with a syntax similar to Clojure. Hy runs on top of Python so all Python libraries and frameworks are available.

I think a more individualistic definition of alignment could say that an AI that a person is directing doesn't do something that person does not desire - this definition removes the "foundational philosophy of what is good" problem, but does leave the "lunatic wants to destroy the world with AIs help" problem. Tricky times ahead
I used to wonder the same, and was dismissive of the idea of "superintelligence". Now I think the whole thing- superintelligence, alignment, etc-, can be simplified a lot. Imagine you could give to someone (a random human being) the gift of omnipotence. Would you trust anyone with this ultimate power? That's the whole problem.
The thing that is bad about democracy as we experience it today, is that while in theory you get an equal choice at the ballot between different options, the sources of information you have to rely on to form an opinion to vote a certain way are not providing information on options at equivocal levels, or in an unbiased manner. It begs the question, is this really your vote, or did someone successfully convince you to vote in their interests thinking they are your own? Considering the massive incentives behind the ability to control voting in a democratic country, it should be expected various interests are working tirelessly to influence your voting behavior. It makes you wonder if the end product would be very different whether we bothered with the performance of elections or not. Certainly at least people believe they chose this government having cast the vote, so maybe that's the benefit of maintaining the system for elites: not to have the public shape government, but to have the public believe they have shaped government, and don't need to try and shape it through other means that might disrupt the order of things.
