#showerthought What if the moltbook is not a demonstration of sentience, but a reflection of humans' (and bots') online shenanigans.

I don't know

#showerthought LLMs rarely reply with "I don't know" to a prompt because we, humans, rarely ever admit online that we don't know something.

The coding agent I'm testing just suggested that we send temperature readings in Celsius to an LLM to make conversions to Fahrenheit, instead of making the conversion on the device, because ultimately we want reliability.

So, yeah...

ah, that was a good, albeit exhausting day. relatedly, also the day I learned the word "stanchion" o.O

ah yes, the two loves of my life. my talk will be titled "how to get fired 101"

Posit 1: browsers don't particularly care about the status code of the parent frame, they'll happily display wherever content the server sent.

Posit 2: crawlers very much care about the status code and they'll drop anything with non-content/transition status.

curl?

If we migrated the googlebot.json file to a new location with a 301 redirect, would that break your fetches? Or the fetcher would just follow the redirect

Intro to How Structured Data Markup Works | Google Search Central  |  Documentation  |  Google for Developers Google uses structured data markup to understand content. Explore this guide to discover how structured data works, review formats, and learn where to place it on your site.

I'd check the documentation and if you can't find anything relevant, file a feedback. Our tech writer checks the feedback quite often and makes improvements based on them.

I think John is on it, don't wanna step on his toes

I do

I don't cos I'm on vacation, but we put this up with mirja a few weeks ago: www.ietf.org/archive/id/d...

That explains my mental state

Why do crawlers generally have a per-resource bytesize limit, like Googlebot's 15Mb?

The internet: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4467...

First question: because RAM. CPU has direct access to RAM of which I have plenty, GPU needs to get the data into the VRAM, which I have not so plenty (plus there's considerable overhead when moving data from RAM to VRAM)

As for the second question, the answer is "games that don't like linux"

24 CPU cores working for 35 hours to train a model, 1% left to completion, and accuracy and loss values look phenomenal. Windows update restarts the PC...

What do you mean if that would be ok (with me)? People can do whatever they like with their sites. I do.

In the greater scheme of things though it's very easy to draw a parallel between 1990's keywords meta tag and this, and we all know how... useful the keywords meta tag became, very fast

Allegedly intelligent systems that allegedly excel at summarization requiring a manually updated file that essentially says what a site is about feels as intuitive as a sign explaining that the provided toilet paper is not meant to be used for giftwrapping the toilet.
