If you happen to be a nuclear weapons reporter meeting in a decommissioned nuclear missile silo this weekend, I’ll be doing a short talk.

behold the "HTML bomb"

It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Item #6 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter: buttondown.com/clivethompso...
A Chrome browser error page displays the familiar “Aw, Snap!” message, indicating that something went wrong while loading a webpage. A pixelated frowning file icon with Xs for eyes appears at the top left. Below, the error code reads “Out of Memory,” suggesting the browser ran out of system resources. The page includes a “Reload” button in blue on the bottom right

01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art." 02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art." 03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'. 04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"

OK it’s funny to flip the video of the Australian rocket failure. Haha they’re upside down. But when presented this way, it’s actually a fantastic, visceral demonstration of the power of gravity I’ve never seen before. Makes you feel the gravity well. I’d watch more launches like this.

HOW TO EYE FLUSH first aid for pepper spray or tear gas PREPARE BRING face covering, DON'T Get street goggles, extra clothes, nitrile contacts, oil- medic training gloves, waterproof outerwear, based lotion or and practice! sport tip water bottle, liquid soap makeup, milk. FLUSH 1 2 3 Introduce yourself, offer help, gain consent Put on gloves Contacts? Ask them to remove with a glove. Remove glasses and give to them. 4 5 Have them kneel and hold their legs - prevents touching face Tilt head back and slightly toward side of first eye. Hold eye open. 6 Aim from bridge of nose across eye. Squeeze bottle hard to push strong stream into the eye, from inner to outer, away from tear duct. 7 Repeat with the other side, mirrored. Repeat process until they can blink and see. (They may still be in pain.) 8 Rinse mouth. Wash glasses before putting them on again. 9 Wash bare skin with soap & water. 10 Discard and replace gloves for next flush. ONLY USE WATER in eyes! Other things are extra prep, may cause reactions, & mark people. You are physically pushing a substance, not blocking the chemical. Water is cheap, easy, safe, and widely agreed upon. STAY CALM Police use them to scare and disperse, but & FTP chemical weapons alone can't kill you.

Call me radical, but I think we should pick a US Surgeon General that knows generally what surgeons do and what medicine is.
