As I keep saying, LLMs are designed to give you *a* answer, not *the* answer.

I saw this film last night, the same day a certain executive order was signed.
I'm not sure if that context made it more heartbreaking or heartwarming. Either way, don't sleep on There's Still Tomorrow. It's a cinematic masterpiece.

Introducing GovArchive.us & Mirroring Entire Sites with Web Archives • Webrecorder Blog Introducing GovArchive.us and tooling to mirror web sites using web archives.

Love this new initiative by @webrecorder.net: GovArchive.us, mirroring dynamic sites as a static web archive, while preserving the previous URL structure. Could be a really compelling options for digital humanities projects, too.
