I believe you're being disingenuous. Perplexity is running a set of crawlers that do not respect robots.txt and take steps to actively evade detection.

They are running a service and this is not a user taking steps to modify their own content for their own use.

Perplexity is not acting as a user proxy and they need to learn to stick to the rules, even when it interferes with their business model.

US tech dominance has long been seen as a benefit and this administration is ruining that position.

I'm always fascinated by the posters here who insist on second-guessing the writers and the scientists who spend their whole lives studying a topic like this.

No one needs to read your post fessing up to your profound ignorance and the fact that you didn't really read the link.

I love that so many people here think they can think about the problem for 10 seconds and come up with a solution that hasn't already been considered a thousand times and discarded.

I'm fascinated by how so many comments here seem to assume that Bankman-Fried is playing some long strategy, when the simplest answer is that he's mentally ill and can't stop himself from engaging in compulsive behaviors, even when he's been appraised of the consequences, repeatedly.

I've moved from a Samsung S10+ to a Google Pixel 6 Pro and I couldn't be happier, and it's mainly because of November like this.

I also hate that they got rid of their headphone jacks and removable storage. They were the few differentiations that kept me on Samsung.

This guy spreads vaccine and mask disinformation and as a result should be deplatformed. No sympathy for liars.

The hardware looks nice but it's not for normal people getting normal work done. Things have gotten marginally better since Ive left, but they still have a long way to go.

I've been reading Jason every day for the last 20-something years. I love his writing voice and his perspective on the world.

There's no other blog I read as consistently or as enthusiastically. I hope he gets the time out he needs from his sabbatical. I look forward to the next 20 years of reading his work.

I was under the impression that this technique was used commonly today.
