Why does this sound like an episode of Friends?

I wish for a new genie that grants wishes successfully but never tries or succeeds in cursing my wishes.

got into coding cuz I found out that’s how I can automate analysis and play with research questions more easily.

In short, there is no way to see everything, and there is no one true view

I thought viewing on the browser without logging in may show everything? Is that not true?

I’m curious about how to verify that these bots respect the rules. I don’t doubt that they do, since it might be a PR nightmare for these big tech companies if they don’t, but I don’t know how to verify them. Asking because I’m also doing this for my website.

By the way, LLMs are usually also trained by common crawl, (not sure to what extent), but I’m not sure whether you want to block common crawl.

Another thing to consider is whether your website is indexed and crawled by web archive, and whether web archive has some policy on AI bot crawlers and scrapers.

Is there an equation for this? Like y = f(x) where y is your choice of gray and x is your color. Maybe you can empirically find “f” by fitting randomly created “x” with the resulting “y”.

If “f” can be approximated and maybe there’s something special about it so that you can find the inverse. Otherwise, you could always just generate a bunch of “x*” again, feed through “f”, and see whether the output “y*” matches your chosen gray.

Interesting data but in terms of viz, this is an odd choice of color scale - the max and background being very similarly dark-toned. It may look better with flipped color scale, or maybe background should be lighter. Plus, I’m mot sure Greenland being very dark means there’s no data or it’s the max.

this is an interesting story but for those who prefer to read, here the article linked in the video description:

https://thefourth.media/apartments/

I also ran this through smmry to summarize. Below is the result:

The Apartments With No Entrance A shady land sale has left the residents of Sea Park Apartments locked in a decades-long land dispute, with no control over their own homes.

These apartments are "Enclosed" in more ways than one: The original developer of the apartments sold the apartment's carpark and common areas - which surround the apartment blocks - to an individual, leaving residents in the unusual position of having their homes completely encircled by someone else's private land.

Built in the 70s and completed in the early 80s, Sea Park Apartments is one of the earliest apartments in Petaling Jaya, if not the earliest, constructed at a time when most residential developments in the area still involved landed properties.

This meant residents had no way to access their homes without first trespassing on private property, and no control over the common facilities sited on that private land.

The individual who purchased the disputed lands is Yap Say Tee, who once managed a hotel owned by the developer, and was earlier approached by the developer to manage the car park at Sea Park Apartments.

With the developer's sale of these lands to Yap, the rules of the game changed: The developer is no longer the registered owner of the disputed lands nor responsible for addressing the remonstrations of the residents, which reached a peak in 2013.

With the facilities on private land, access road on private land, the property value will go down, and residents will have no agency.
