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
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.
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..)
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.
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?
“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.
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.
In our codebase we started to disallow enums in favour of string literal types, and once folks get over the ingrained "this needs to be an enum" (coming mostly from other languages like Java), it's not much missed.
Enums are one of the very few things in typescript that seem to not have turned out that well, but it's relatively easy to work without them with string-literable types and such, derived from some const in case they're also needed at runtime.
There are union types for strings; and there are plain javascript objects (typed as const) if "namespace.name" syntax is desired. With these available, what is the point of enums?
Yes. Both namespaces and enums (and probably the "private" keyword on class methods) are an early addition to the language, which would have never been added if typescript from the very start aligned closely with Ecmascript.
