That's not the kind of complexity that is the problem though. The complexity you have to deal with is just more and more features being shoved into the spec at breakneck speed, or if they are not in the spec, it's just Google adding them to their engine and everyone starts using them anyway to the quasi-monopoly of Chromium-based browsers.

Those tutorials are about as old as the author of the repository.

Yes, that's why I was wondering about any relations.

But later I've read that there was some kind of Anime called Iczelion (or it was the hero name, whatever). Author also is interested in anime, I guess that's the reason for nickname similarity. Mystery solved.


It's also the kind of project where LLM license-washing is going to be the most dangerous for the project itself. Projects like Wine and ReactOS have to be extremely careful about what kind of code to accept, because taking code from one of the countless Windows source leaks is just a recipe for legal disaster.

Some of us are old enough when very similar smelling FUD was being spread by MS about Linux 30 years ago.

Exactly my observation as well. They devour absolutely everything, no exceptions. No matter how stupid it might be to digest a source code repository via HTTP. They probably don't even recognize what's inside those pages and that there's an easier way to obtain the same result.

The crawlers are not AI. The crawlers are deterministic. They are collecting data to train AIs.

But gitweb is probably the second most used method of hosting a git repo and easily recognizable through heuristics. If it’s gitweb, fallback to git access and save everyone, including the crawler, time and resources.

Understood. The comment I replied to suggests the crawlers should figure this out on their own.

No, when I said this behaviour is stupid I did not imply that it needs to be solved with "intelligence". This class if problem is already solved by traditional crawlers, AI companies just actively chose to disregard any of that in their race to the top / bottom.

So? You can design a deterministic crawler for AI that

- Respects robots.txt

- Detects if something is likely a git forge and as a result

- Clone the git repository instead of trying to crawl the forge

None of this needs to be happening, and yet it does at an unprecedented scale.


Which, as the post notes, it's incredibly stupid. So much for artificial "intelligence"

Makes me wonder how much garbage they actually collect across the web. That can't be good for the quality of the LLM.

Can't speak for France but in Germany, you can usually check on each ISP's website what their coverage for a specific street address is. It's one of the things I always do when I look for a new home.


Same in France.

The information is available publicly on the same web site as mentioned in this thread, with even information about the expected network throughput: https://maconnexioninternet.arcep.fr/?lat=46&lng=2.3&zoom=7&...


Similarly, even the higher-priced Logitech mice often use tact switches that are only rated for a relatively low number of clicks (probably 1 million?), so many of them started failing on me after about two years. Replacing the switches with higher-rated ones (50 million clicks) is trivial on all the mice I have disassembled so far. The switches and replacement glider pads (which need replacing after removing the screws hidden below them) are often just a few bucks but make the mouse last for several more years.


That was a frustrating fix.

The MX Master has a "gesture" button under the rubber where your thumb rests.

I don't believe I ever used it intentionally.

But because it is a gesture button, when it fails the mouse no longer responds as it always thinks it is gesturing.

Pull the wire and it is fine, but diagnosing it is rough.


I've done this fix on at least 3 MX Masters, just going in through the rubber on the side to remove the switch, since disassembly through unscrewing everything is more work.

Needing to replace the feet every time you open the mouse is pretty frustrating.

This applies to the MX Master 1 & 2.


I feel you. Here in Europe you have to pay around 100 bucks or more to get some decent quality from Logitech. In the past I used mice like the G9 which was build like a tank. Nowadays it's something like a throwawy part, even in the higher price range. Same goes for keyboards, which I tend to build now on own.


Yes, I no longer pay extra money for Logitech. If the quality is as bad as a cheap offbrand from China, why wouldn't I pay less for the cheap offbrand?

I'm glad to pay for quality, but Logitech no longer seems to offer good quality.


Personally speaking: I could not find anything that would be a match in terms of quality and ergonomics for the MX Vertical. Tried a small number of cheap vertical mice, none of them felt right.

Thank you! I ran into this a ton in college, and still do sometimes with new (to me) authors. I was confident about what was happening, but it's nice to know it's a documented phenomenon.


with llms or even agents I introduce far more attack surfaces


I have set up DMARC, SPF, DKIM and whatnot. Sadly no one seems to take this as a signal for a competent mail setup, so Microsoft's mail servers regularly block my mails because of the surrounding IP range reputation - not because any spam would originate from my IPs or domains.


Are you sending important or unimportant things?

When its unimportant or important to the receiver only, you push responsibility to them: "I sent it. Must be your email that's glithced. Tried Gmail or Proton?"

When its important to you, you use your backup Gmail or Proton account.


There's a number of VST plugins that get very close - much closer than a static set of filters every possibly could. This is just an approximation.


"very" close is subjective. In my opinion it is nowhere near running audio through real tape. The computation capability needed to fully simulate tape in real time is not there yet. To model all subtle interactions, phase etc you'd need to run audio in 10-100+ MHz range.


TAAS ?

Tape as a service ? Upload your music and get it recorded to cassette and re uploaded to you ?

It’s all a moot point most of the time since it’s going to be compressed to crap by Bluetooth codecs before reaching most ears.
