crazy how what seemed like an excellent landmark case around webcrawling turned around like this so quickly due to AI
No we don't - and we stop free associations all the time. I can't call up my non-existent buddies in Russia and say hey you guys need weapons? Well I'll sell them to you. We ban NVIDIA from selling advanced chips to China or North Korea. We prohibit US citizens from bribing officials in countries like Mexico for permits.

> Moreover it seems like security theater.

Meh. At a minimum it's just an economic reciprocation. If China doesn't allow our wildly successful social media companies to operate in China, we can as a matter of trade decide to stop their wildly successful social media company from operating in our country.
I have a lot of luck using 4o to build and iterate on context and then carry that into o1. I’ll ask 4o to break down concepts, make outlines, identify missing information and think of more angles and options. Then at the end, switch on o1 which can use all that context.

No, because they won't pay for anything they can get for free. There's only one situation where an AI company will pay for data, and that's when it's owned by someone with scary enough lawyers to pressure them into paying up. Hence why OpenAI has struck licensing deals with a handful of companies while continuing to bulk-scrape unlicensed data from everyone else.
Not so fast, billions of investment wasn’t spent on just 50 GWh of electricity.

The final step of training one specific model might have used 50 GWh which only costs what 0.011 billion? What the fuck do you think they are spending the rest of that money on?

And what do you think environmental impact of that spending was?
Before I configured Nginx to block them:

- Bytespider (59%) and Amazonbot (21%) together accounted for 80% of the total traffic to our Git server.

- ClaudeBot drove more traffic through our Redmine in a month than it saw in the combined 5 years prior to ClaudeBot.
I mean, you could play Quake II in a browser, what, 15 years ago? Interfaces like this are inexcusable today.

Publishers and Authors Wonder: Can Anything Replace BookTok?
The necropolis of Roman tombs, over which the Basilica was built, and what is claimed to be Peter's Tomb, can actually be visited, deep in the bowels of the Basilica. To do so one must sign up for the Scavi Tour and book well in advance as only very small groups are taken.
Yes, but the point is that big company crawlers aren’t paying for questionably sourced residential proxies.

If this person is seeing a lot of traffic from residential IPs then I would be shocked if it’s really Amazon. I think someone else is doing something sketchy and they put “AmazonBot” in the user agent to make victims think it’s Amazon.

You can set the user agent string to anything you want, as we all know.

Highly recommend clickhouse. You can set the partition key to be based on date and delete old data in chunks. Makes life really easy. Also found it much more performant than timescaledb out of the box. Not sure about hosted options but can imagine that translates to better performance for the dollar.
This echoes my experience. I often use ChatGPT to help with D&D module design and I found that O1 did best when I told it exactly what k required, dumped in a large amount of info and did not expect to use it to iterate multiple times.

Who said anything about Ubuntu 22.04? I mean sure that's the newest release current jetpack comes with, but I'd be surprised if they shipped digits with that.
So there's a bit of an issue with prompt caching implementations: for both OpenAI API and Claude's API, you need a minimum of 1024 tokens to build the cache for whatever reason. For simple problems, that can be hard to hit and may require padding the system prompt a bit.
No evidence provided that this is amazonbot or AI related. Someone is just upset that their website is getting traffic, which seems asinine.
Maybe this explains why humans are snoring? It just wasn't / isn't evolutionary important.
What is the proof that a hit from a residential IP address is actually Amazon? And if you have a way to tell, why not make use of it.
It's 4o. The crowdsourced transcription project dates back to 2012. My comment is mostly on this article.
i would think public outcry by influencers on social media (such as this thread) is a better deterrent, and also establishes a public datapoint and exhibit for future reference.. as it is hard to scale the tarpit.
Me> different people will have different strengths of addiction

You> It's profoundly obvious you're missing the point, and conflating somehow having a low degree of addiction to something with not being addicted at all to it

Suggest applying some of that willpower towards paying attention to what you're reading.

> You also seem to imply that the degree to which you're addicted to something is the sole factor determining whether you will overcome your addiction or not

I don't imply anything of the sort. Willpower is one variable, level of addiction is another. What I do imply is that without deeper observation of a person's life, and the other areas in which they might demonstrate willpower, you can't make strong conclusions about their lacking willpower based simply on their weight.

Based on all I know about you (or you about me), we could each be people of tremendous willpower who overcame titanic odds to beat our food addiction, or we could simply be people who really quite like food who tried hard and overcame our mild predisposition.

It's going to be waaay slower than a 5090. We're looking at something like 60W TDP for the entire system vs 600W for a 5090 GPU.

It's going to be very energy efficient, it will get plenty of flops, but they won't be able to cheat physics.

People buy gold because, over the long run, gold has traditionally had a stable value.

But that is just another way of saying that in the long run, gold does not appreciate or depreciate. "Stable" means "it doesn't change a lot". And an asset's value has to change in order for you to realize a gain on it.

But gold's value doesn't change that much, in the long term. Therefore, gold is not a way to make money. At best, gold is a way to preserve your money. This has been true for thousands of years, which is why we all have confidence that gold can preserve our wealth.

cf. with Bitcoin. We do not have thousands of years of experience with it. You can't make pretty jewelry out of bitcoin. Bitcoin is not an excellent conductor of electricity, like gold is.

Bitcoin has value by consensus gentium. It has less backing it than any fiat currency on earth. At any time, countries could ban its use. Advances in decryption will eventually render it unworkable.

It mystifies me how anybody who is afraid of fiat currency could be so comfortable with bitcoin.
Sourcing hydrogen from electricity means splitting water and compressing the hydrogen. The electrolysis step is around 50% efficient, and compressing the hydrogen for storage takes some energy as well. If the light cell is 50% efficient at converting hydrogen to electricity, then your "battery" efficiency is around 25%. A typical lithium battery is 80-90% efficient round trip.

This setup does have the advantage that the cost of increasing storage capacity is relatively cheap. You only need to increase the size of the hydrogen tank. But power output would be limited by the size of the lightcell.

There are other disadvantages besides the poor efficiency. People can't see or smell hydrogen, so you'd also need sensors to detect hydrogen leaks. Depending on how quickly the hydrogen is consumed, you might also have to deal with cold temperatures in some parts of the setup (as ideal gas law means the temperature will decrease as hydrogen flows out of the tank). And hydrogen is a very pernicious molecule. It will leak through metal tanks and pipes. It also tends to make metals brittle. And its flame is almost invisible. Lastly, the lightcell consumes salt, but I'm not sure how much so I don't know how big a reservoir would be or how often it would need to be refilled.

That’s a great example and I understand it was intentionally simple but highlighted how LLMs need care with use. Not that this example is very related to NLP:

My prompt:
`<<I want a flight from portland to cuba after easter>>`

The response:
```
{
"origin": ["PDX"],
"destination": ["HAV"],
"date": "2025-04-01",
"departure_time": null,
"preferences": null
}
```

Of course I meant Portland Maine (PWM), there is more than one airport option in Cuba than HAV, and it got the date wrong, since Easter is April 20 this year.
I totally get what you’re saying. I just don't know how you actually implement this at global scale. I dislike Facebook and have not used it in over a decade, but I do believe they at least used to try and enforce real name policies.

There's places where it makes sense to be on the cloud, and places where it doesn't. The two best examples I can give are for high bandwidth, or heavy disk intensive applications.

Take Netflix. While almost everything is in the cloud the actual delivery of video is via their own hardware. Even at their size I doubt this business would be economically feasible if they were paying someone else for this.

Something I've seen often (some numbers changed because...)

20 PB Egress at $0.02/GB = $400,000/month

20 PB is roughly 67 Gbps 95th Percentile

It's not hard to find 100 Gbps flat rate for $5,000/month

Yes this is overly simplistic, and yes there's a ton more that goes into it than this. But the delta is significant.

For some companies $4,680,000/year doesn't move the needle, for others this could mean survival.

do you know how did:web works? Documentation only describes that .well-known/atproto-did should be the DID value, but no instruction at all on where the DID document should be.
I'm not talking about fluctuations (i.e. a datacenter with fluctuating usage). I'm taking about adding a datacenter to an existing grid. That significantly changes the baseline load on the grid, and that is a local problem because transmission is not universally even across an entire grid.

If your transmission line is saturated, it doesn't matter how much more generation you add on the source end, it's not gonna deliver 'more' over the transmission lines.

And that is just a simplistic local example, because it's not a single producer, single consumer, single transmission line scenario. ChatGPT and the article aren't diving in to that. The closest they might get is congestion but even then you already have to know the issue to be able to ask about it.

As far as the article itself is involved here, this tread mostly goes into the reason why global usage percentages doesn't mean there are no problems. It's like saying gerrymandering has no impact because of some percentages elsewhere.
Same. I mean I didn't find quite the same type of community, but I did get exposed to content that was different than other platforms. Just weirder, more fun, more interesting. Definitely going to miss it if it goes away.

It's unfortunate that more people can't see that it:
1. actually has some social value
2. banning it is a restriction on our freedom

Obviously, it's
3. mostly junk and brain rot
4. a potential tool for Chinese influence and manipulation

But I think we need to accept that 1 & 2 override 3 & 4. Honestly for 4, it's more important to have a widely used source that isn't necessarily subject to the same restrictions (legal or cultural) as US-based apps.
Amazonbot doesn't respect the `Crawl-Delay` directive. To be fair, Crawl-Delay is non-standard, but it is claimed to be respected by the other 3 most aggressive crawlers I see.

And how often does it check robots.txt? ClaudeBot will make hundreds of thousands of requests before it re-checks robots.txt to see that you asked it to please stop DDoSing you.
Yeah, I imagine it's an interesting question which of these sounds is more perceptually similar to the target sound. It may well depend to some extent on the native language(s) of the person who is listening.

And to that point LinkedIn makes an active effort (in my experience) to highlight the most extreme political comments (I assume for the same reasons as any other social network- anger is a simple formula to fuel engagement).

It insists on sending me push notifications of the most bizarre conspiracy theories, even after I muted the accounts. Super frustrating when all you want is basically an electronic business card catalog.
Meh. LLMs are just the technology du jour that teachers and everybody else point to as the cause of decline in our youth: which has been a sport now for some 2,500 years, at least that we have recorded.

The real problem plaguing the West is a problem of a lack of values. We don't value wisdom, honor, and integrity. Once upon a time we pretended to, but nowadays we don't even do that. Of course we don't want to admit that to ourselves so we continue to blame externalities such as LLMs, iPads, videogames, VCRs, TVs and on and on and on.
That's actually the main reason I still use RSS, I never found a need for most notifications and the complexity required to manage a push-based system aren't worth it to me.

Even if I'm using someone else's system, I just don't like the idea of giving them a reason/need to manage all that for me. RSS works fine 99% of the time.
What are the actual rules/laws about scraping?

Most of that money went into infrastructure + human talent, with energy costs at the tail end. I'd be happy to include the energy costs of producing the materials, feeding the humans and moving them around etc. but those aren't usually included in environmentalist critiques of the energy used in training. I couldn't use the original article to unpack every possible interpretation of how much energy was used without it turning into a book. If we did the same for plane rides we'd also need to include the energy cost of assembling the planes, training and feeding the human pilots etc.

> can’t be purchased anywhere

At a single moment sure, but many games have gone from a state where you can’t purchase them to you can. I’d be cautious of any argument which suggests watching a movie the day before it hits movie theaters has zero economic impact.

So you’d need to find a game that couldn’t ever be purchased until the end of copyright coverage, which is more a theoretical argument than something you can demonstrate in the moment.
A CNOT is universal (transistor effectively) I don't think a NOT is universal.

I'm sure you can self modify your code so it executes only using XOR (bit flips), which is a CNOT, but I do not think this could be compiled down to an FPGA using only a billion not gates.

Actually I just convinced myself you can make an AND from three NOT gates if you can tie outputs together to get OR, so I believe you now. Sorry for the diversion! (Though I still dont see how bit flips and jumps directly can be built into a circuit, I know AND and NOT are universal so it's all good).
Highly recommend that anyone interested in ai and/or Eliza read Joseph Wizenbaum's (creator of Eliza) book "Computer Power and Human Reason." It holds up remarkably well for a book written in 1976 about ai.

My next MBP I’ll be getting this option.

I was using the word "revenue" very deliberately. Savings don't increase revenue.

The GP's argument was that this was about "squeezing out more profit from that supposed 0.1% of users". That can't be an argument about resource savings. The resource savings come from not serving bots, not from blocking legitimate users who happen to have disabled JS.
The main problem I see with how some popular science journalists approach evolutionary biology is that they always think from the perspective of the individual, as opposed to the group.
Show HN: Flow Timer - Time-boxing timer to stay focused
Hello HN, I built a timer that can be split into multiple phases. Useful for time-boxing tasks and helping to stay focused.
