where's the front page CF callout for google search agent? they wouldn't dare. i don't remember the shaming for ad and newsletter pop up blockers.
that being said, agree with you that sites are not being used the way they were intended. i think this is part of the evolution of the web. it all began with no monetization, then swung far too much into it to the point of abuse. and now legitimate content creators are stuck in the middle.
what i disagree on is that CF has the right to, again allegedly, shame perplexity on false information. especially when OAI is solving captchas and google is also "misusing" websites.
i wish i had an answer to how we can evolve the web sustainably. my main gripe is the shaming and virtue signaling.
maybe. the allegations against perplexity are being challenged and i haven't seen any research on google agent. CF can demonstrate nonpartisanship, and gain credence for their claims against perplexity, by being transparent about other players in the space.
(as an aside, not to shift the goalpost to the elephant in the room, but i didn't see any blog posts on the shameless consumption of every single thing on the internet by OAI, google and anthropic. talk about misuse..)
if what they're saying is true then this was a huge fuckup on CFs part. i was already a bit suspicious when they started gloating about OAI agent since it's been shown to literally state that it's solving a captcha to complete the task.
i guess it will come down to browserbase corroborating the claims.
Hm, it’s still a tricky question. Do web admins have a right to block agentic AI? Of course they do. They have a right to block whoever they want. Distinguishing between scraper and agent is important, yes, but agents can still produce a lot more traffic than the average human, and it’s not like the agents are optimizing their access patterns.
i agree. i think the point i agree with perplexity on is that CF is a central authority that is claiming to be the gatekeeper while (allegedly) being disingenuous and incapable.
i also tend to agree with the concept that scraping != consuming on behalf of a user. they explicitly point out that they do not store the data for training, which would fall under scraping by proxy.
I heard that it could be easily bypass through realistic 3D human game model with basic mouth open and head tilt animation, even gmod can do such thing.
My fuzzy understanding, and I'm not at all an expert on this, that the main benefit is that bf16 is less prone to overflow/underflow during calculation, which is a source of bigger problems in both training and inference than the simple loss of precision, so once it became widely supported, it became a commonly-preferred format for models (whether image gen or otherwise) over FP16.
Um, no. Sensible people don't support the far right. The country has lost all sense, so there are fewer sensible people, so the fools who vote for the far right are on the rise.
After rereading it with the sibling comment in mind, the swap does make sense in that it subtly shifts the implied causality of the surge in far right polling. My bad for misunderstanding, thanks for the clarifications!
deep scratches are trivial and drops will immediately lead to heavy dents. that being said the screen itself is incredibly tough so it will be usable.
before (stainless / titanium) you could go caseless without concern. the most i ever had happen was a little crack on the back
