  I recently saw a talk where someone cited Karpathy (a screenshot of the original talk is attached below, from YouTube), in which he describes LLMs as "a zip file of the internet" and "a store of world knowledge." I felt nervous. More than concerns about the greed of capitalists in the AI world, this overall idea of reducing and normalizing the diversity and plurality of world knowledge makes me very worried.

  I see a very uniform design among recent blog posts. Does this "Claude style" have a name? Is it beautiful? Doesn't matter, we have lived a decade with Bootstrap

  I have mixed feelings when I learn more things reading a SKILL.md from a whatever github repo than from the original software documentation.

  RE: https://chaos.social/@hister/116686920840740268 This tool has literally changed and improved my posture for public web searching. Hister's search box is now the default search in my browser, and with 6 months of history it satisfy all my recall queries. I don't use browser bookmarks anymore, as I can search everything quickly.

  Ask HN: How to make my website exist for 100 years? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46642372 The comments are funny, but the question is legitimate. And €38,500 for a 100 years wordpress hosting https://wordpress.com/100-year/ ? I wouldn't trust them.

  Does robots.txt still matters? Short answer: yes. A wrong committed robots.txt and Googlebot (real bot, verified IP block) can hammer an application (Solr server CPU in the graph), until an aggressive rate limit is applied. End of the story: the application queries should be improved.

  Pagefind¹ 1.5 is out! Most notable feature I see now (or maybe was already there?) is searching from multiple sites² > Pagefind can be configured to search across multiple sites, merging results and filters into a single response. Multisite search configuration happens entirely in the browser, by pointing one Pagefind instance at multiple search bundles. ¹ https://github.com/Pagefind/pagefind/releases/tag/v1.5.0 ² https://pagefind.app/docs/multisite/

  I love simple and usable software. Lazycut¹ enters my toolset today. A brilliant tui for ffmpeg: cut a video, and convert (can change aspect). LosslessCut² and Handbrake³ are good, but they have more features than I need ¹ https://github.com/ozemin/lazycut ² https://mifi.no/losslesscut ³ https://handbrake.fr
