In the links you provided, swc is the same entity.

From the article: `Reporters and networks are prohibited from publishing the precise location of Iranian missile impacts, or even filming or photographing the extent of the damage in a way that could give away the location — restrictions designed, in the words of the army’s chief censor Col. Netanel Kula, “to prevent assistance to the enemy during wartime.”` ... `In an unclassified document published on March 5, Kula instructed journalists to submit anything related to the following topics to the censor for review prior to publication: operational matters, intelligence, defensive preparedness, impact sites in Israel, armament management (including munitions and interceptor stockpiles, aircraft and air defense systems readiness, and the employment and use of unique and classified weaponry), and operational vulnerabilities in defense and offense.`


This happened to me too - the solution is to temporarily set the page view as desktop view through the browser settings.


While agents act on behalf of the user, they won't see nor click any ads; they won't sign-up to any newsletter; they won't buy the website owner a coffee. They don't act as humans just because humans triggered them. They simply take what they need and walk away.


Do you have an ad-blocker? If so, should website owners be able to disable your ad-blocker via a setting they send to you? It's their content, after all.


As a frugal person it's frustrating when websites block me for using an ad blocker, but I also don't think publishers should be required to send me data


They may, and do, refuse to send you the page. That is a more realistic parallel.

Without advertising the web would be largely unsupportable financially without per site subscriptions.


Without advertising, the web would be a far healthier place today, free of click-bait and ad-infested, low effort, low quality content. Bad business models wouldn't've survived the light of day.


fair point.

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.


As far as I know Google's bot respects robots.txt and doesn't try to evade detection?


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..)


Funnily enough this would also mean some humans are not human, like me. I exhibit that behavior exactly as well. Maybe I'm an agent acting on behalf of myself, whatever that means.


Yep, also true of something like curl -s $url | llm --system 'summarize this article'


It's also true that you could dismantle a building with a hammer, which accomplishes the same as dynamite. So why not just sell dynamite at the local hardware store along with hammers?


And Cloudflare is the police entity to enforce this, right?


If your emacs config is (1) specific for each repo and (2) needs to be shared with other developers, it makes sense to add it to the repo.


Why would you need to share this? Isn't it an individual developer's preferences?


If it is, there's no reason to share it. If there are some org wide prefs needed to be "enforced", then there is a reason.


“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". This is so depressing to read from one of the most influencial leaders in the world. I think empathy is a basic condition for a healthy society, and it lifts the average of human happiness.


I tried to write "Hello" on the demo page on my mobile phone, but it rendered "elloH". After hitting the H, the caret went back to the start of the line and then acted normal (stayed after each of the other letters).

The screenshot on your homepage looks very similar to plausible's https://plausible.io/ which is also open-source analytics software. Is it based on it? What are the differences?

Edit: Just noticed the feature comparison in the readme.


Also Plausible is almost stock TailwindUI elements + including the default color, so many sites look like that.


Can you explain a little what are the similarities you found?


Good question, and TBH... I might be a bit unclear too.

Pretty-printed JSON shows siblings down, and children down and to the right. TFA's library shows siblings down and children to the right, plus with squiggly lines and boxes. So I'm not sure how TFA visualizes JSON more than JSON itself already visualizes JSON. It says it's interactive, and I don't see any interaction either other than scrolling, so I may be missing something.

But, assuming that the interaction is supposed to be stuff like hiding children in order to get a higher level view of the data, then drill down to the lower levels of the data, and provide other tools for exploring the data (searching, filtering, etc) then jless does all that too.


Nice! I'm using AnyDesk for both desktop and phone, and then can completely control my computer from my phone, not only vs code. Also for watching long processes.


anydesk etc. are good, but this app does a little more than monitoring. It's like a cross between anydesk use case and airdrop (like you can send files and images etc to your wokspace). And everything happens over your local network.


anydesk relies on a relay/third-party. this seems more like a direct connection (needs something like tailscale for remote access)
