Oh wow, thank you for linking that paper. I've been working an interactive tool for a while and have been musing on new constraint and layout types to add. Anecdotally it seems a lot of mainstream graph layout algorithms work well for small to mediumish complexity inputs, but then quickly start generating visual spaghetti. So this looks incredibly apropos for me.
"some form of social proof."

Sounds like sanctioned racism.
From reading Drew Devaults angry post from earlier this week, my take is that not only is it poorly implemented crawlers, it's also that it's cheaper to scrape, rather than keep copies on hand. Effectively these companies are outsourcing the storage of "their" training data to everyone on the internet.

Ideally a site would get scraped once, and then the scraper would check if content has changed, e.g. etag, while also learning how frequently content changes. So rather than just hammer some poor personal git repo over and over, it would learn that Monday is a good time to check if something changed and then back off for a week.

Plex does operate a few services that 'free' (or any) streaming may rely on depending on circumstances. Aside from auth, Plex clients that aren't able to discover the server instance locally rely on a Plex-hosted webservice to enumerate available servers. Additionally, there is a client-side config option that allows low resolution streams (720p is the ceiling, I believe) to be proxied via Plex's infrastructure. This setting is referred to as 'indirect connection', if I recall correctly.
Yeah I mean, it was obsolete before the first iPhone so that's not surprising.

Yes - the recent nightmare scenarios experienced by EU citizens in the US has unnerved me. I've also become far more worried about sending (non-white) members of my team from South East Asia to the US.

In my companies recent town halls people are voicing concerns about US travel, which has never happened before. In comparison, our large events in (far more authoritarian) China, which were attended by large numbers of foreign employees, didn't have any such concerns other than usual IP-sharing ones.
RFK Jr. Wants to Let Bird Flu Spread on Poultry Farms. Why Experts Are Concerned
The status quo (including lack of enforcement) was good for the country for decades. We look the other way a little to get cheap or highly skilled labor, we get to maintain some soft power as the "land of opportunity", we collect a ton of tax money from people who won't won't nearly take out as much and we get a population who, on the whole, commits less crime than the average American.

Additionally, politicians get to draw some line in the sand to fight over, but do little about.

It has to be dramatic so the administration can scare people into submission and test the waters to see what they can get away. We are failing this test.
I think the press cares about it because each aspect of it is getting worse. People coming into the country no longer have due process and can't see lawyers now.

It isn't anti-technology, it's anti-capital/anti-big-business. If you don't allow businesses to scale-up because billionaires are bad, then you're biggest companies will be those that are from the previous century.

> Europe’s lack of industrial dynamism owes in large part to weaknesses along the “innovation lifecycle” that
prevent new sectors and challengers from emerging. These weaknesses begin with obstacles in the pipeline
from innovation to commercialisation. Public sector support for R&I is inefficient due to a lack of focus on disruptive
innovation and fragmented financing, limiting the EU’s potential to reach scale in high-risk breakthrough technologies. Once companies reach the growth stage, they encounter regulatory and jurisdictional hurdles that prevent
them from scaling-up into mature, profitable companies in Europe. As a result, many innovative companies end
up seeking out financing from US venture capitalists (VCs) and see expanding in the large US market as a more
rewarding option than tackling fragmented EU markets. Finally, the EU is falling behind in providing state-of-the-art
infrastructures necessary to enable the digitalisation of the economy.

That sounds rather pretentious. There are good places to use whitespace and there are good places to use separators. There's a reason Excel uses lines to separate cells rather than whitespace and it's not because Microsoft never thought to hire a designer.

Going hard on whitespace is just a visual trend that'll undoubtedly change in the future again. It wasn't that long ago that designers went all in on glossy 3D effects with hard separators for basic UI design. You cannot derive someone's qualifications from a subjective aesthetical choice like that.

Xanadu was Ted Nelson, not Tim Berners-Lee.

Also I would argue that not having capitalist incentives baked directly into the network is what made the web work, for good or bad. Xanadu would never have gotten off the ground if people had to pay their ISP then pay for every website, or every packet, or every clicked link or whatever.

Reading the Xanadu page on Wikipedia tells me "Every document can contain a royalty mechanism at any desired degree of granularity to ensure payment on any portion accessed, including virtual copies ("transclusions") of all or part of the document."

That would be absolute chaos at scale.

I know a lot of FOSS people are hostile to AI in general, and this is an immediate problem, but I feel like a better solution for everyone would be for there to be some sort of central repo of this information that AI companies can pull from without externalizing their costs like this.

They also provide the HTTPS certificate allowing for secure communication, along with the DNS infrastructure for that.

That is, your host gets a DNS entry along the lines of 1.2.3.4.something.plex.com, where 1.2.3.4 is your Plex server's public IP, and they have a deal with a cert issuer so they can get valid certs for that hostname.

Immigration enforcement isn't pretty anywhere, but also happens everywhere. For instance literally every single story of somebody being detained/deported from anywhere for working without a work permit is going to be a sad story because it's obviously somebody just trying to live a decent productive life, but ending up in jail and then deported (perhaps losing their belongings/pets/etc in the process) because they were born in a different country.

Trying to frame this as 'America only' is extremely disingenuous by the media. There will be numerically significantly more events in America because America is a relatively large country and previous lapses in immigration enforcement have created dumb situations like having some 435,000 illegal aliens with criminal records! [1] But there's nothing particularly exceptional. Rather it's just the media fishing for the worst of the worst, and trying to frame it as representative, like usual.

Just as an anecdote: My company tried to recruit an executive from Britain many years ago. He had young children and was concerned about the high rates of child mortality due to firearms and motor-vehicles deaths (the top two causes of death for children in the US) compared to the negligible risk in the UK.

While his underlying concern wasn't specific to "school shootings", he did point out that our blasé acceptance of them was another example of our comparatively higher risk tolerance.

It is not perfect, but in a number of areas it is significantly better than MS Office, and this has been the case since it was still OpenOffice back in 2005: I'd import collaborative schoolwork into Open Office to fix the mismatch of styles that other students had used[1] and then (to be fair) I'd export it back to Word format and do final formatting in Word to get the exact layouts and page numering options that was demanded from us.

Today MS Office is still broken in a number of crazy ways. One of the most annoying ones is that if whoever packages and deploys Office to our computers use localization for the user interface, suddenly all formulas are in some broken local language variant making it next to impossible to search for it.

If I know the solution with standard Excel language it is doable to translate it to this broken "Norwegian BASIC" language, it is just really really annoying.

A quick and easy solution then is to write it in Libre Office Calc, export it to xls and import it and done.

With Libre Office I can also choose if I want cute "Ribbon" menus or easy-to-use menus.

Right, one side looks at the machine and says "this is bad, needs reform"..

The other side says "this is not bad enough, I am running on making this worse, and going to loudly broadcast how happy I am that I've made it worse".

Seems quite different.
I am self-hosted (email + web), I did quit the DNS (which registrars are now mostly hostile to noscript/basic (x)html browsers anyway), and I thought it would give me some relief...

Nope.

You don't have only the AI crawlers, you have also scans and hack attempts (which look alike script-kiddy stuff), all the time. Some smell of AI strapped to javascript web engines (or click farms with real humans???).

Smart: IP ranges from all over the world, and "clouds" make that even worse since the pown systems or bad actors (the guys who scan the whole ipv4 internet for its own good AND MANY SELL THE F* SCAN DATA: onyphe, stretchoid.com, etc) are "moving", in other words clouds are protecting those guys and are weaponizing hackers with their massive network resources, wrecking small hosting. No cloud is spared: aws, microsoft, google, ovh, ucloud.cn, etc.

I send good vibes to the brave open source software small hosting (until they are noscript/basic (x)html compatible ofc).

Many fixed-IPv4 pown systems have been referenced by security communities, often for months, sometimes years, and the people with the right leverage, don't seem to do a damn thing about it.

Currently, I wonder if I should not block all digital ocean IP ranges... and I was about to do the same with ucloud.cn IP ranges.

The second you host anything on the net, it WILL take a significant amount of your time. Do presume you will be pown, that's why security communities are referencing each other too.

Then I am thinking going towards 2 types of "hosting": private IPv6+port("randomized" for each client, may be transient in time depending of the service) thanks to those /64 prefixes (maybe /92 prefixes are a thing, for mobile internet?). Yes this complicated and convoluted. Second type, a 'standard' permanent IP, but with services which are implemented in an _HARDCORE_ simple way, if possible near 100% static. I am thinking going even further: assembly on bare metal, custom kernel based on hand compilation of linux code (RISC-V hardware ofc, FPGA for bigger hosting?)

I don't think anything will improve unless carrier scale network operators start to show their teeth.

Insane, I wonder if we eventually end up with a non-search-engine indexed version of the web that's more like browsing in the 90s where websites just had to link to oneanother to get noticed . . . .

I love that the solution to LLM scraping is to serve the browser a proof of work, before they allow access - I wonder if things like new sites start to do this . . . It would mean they won't be indexed by search engines, but it would help to protect the IP

We're half way there already. It always hits me whenever I am doing some mapping for OpenStreetMap and I'm looking up local businesses without their own internet presence. They use Facebook, Instagram, X, etc. for their digital calling card. I normally don't use Facebook (or Instagram, and gave up on X) and have no account there, and every time I follow one of those links, you get some info, and then you get a dialogue screen telling you to make an account or get lost, or you just get some obscure error.

I don't mind registering an account for private communities, but for stuff which people put up thinking it is just going to be publicly visible it's really annoying.

Not my area of expertise but as far as I can tell RFK's theory that you let bird flu spread and you find magically immune birds ... doesn't appear to have any science backing it. Let alone questions about if you did find some magical immunity... nothing to indicate if it even helps the next season.

In fact efforts to DO this thing / find those birds who are immune have failed at every turn. Understandably, researchers (oh wait we're cutting research) have been trying to do this but haven't not found any indications this immunity is a thing.

RFK's theory seems to be just BS he got from his head ...

> The solution is to once again enable applying for asylum at the embassies and consulates. Then nobody has to drown.
> So you think if those countries don't accept everyone that wants to enter then it's ok for people to try to enter illegally?

Right, so let's unpack this. There is no way to apply for asylum at embassies. It was previously possible, but it's not possible anymore. If you want to apply for asylum, you have to be physically present in the country where you want to apply. Since applying for asylum is legal (it's a guaranteed human right and some countries try to respect at least a subset of human rights, wonder for how long), it is also legal to enter a country for the purpose of applying for asylum, no matter what everyone else says.

> countries don't accept everyone

This is not about accepting anyone. Asylum is a totally different legal concept than migration. Asylum is granted (or not), not accepted. People that are drowning in the Med. sea are applying for asylum, if they survive. For most of them, it will not be granted, but they are exercising their rights. People have a right to apply for asylum, countries have a right to grant or refuse at will.

> They can go to a neighboring country without being "stranded" at sea where they need "rescuing".

Everyone has the right not to be killed. Just a basic respect to other human beings would be welcome at this stage.

> Humanitarian reasons do not require you to pick up people near the coast of Africa...

Yes they do, there are again legal reasons for that. The laws can be changed, but until then it is indeed the only legal thing to do. And also some people don't enjoy seeing other people drowning.
