<p>Others have answered your question. A lot of the sites listed here <a href="https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/user/known-instances/" rel="nofollow">https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/user/known-instances/</a> have dynamic content; Git web interfaces in particular (Codeberg, the Linux kernel, FFMPEG, and more are on the list) are vulnerable to poorly or maliciously configured scrapers.</p>

<p>Summary of the mailing list discussion (<a href="https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3CDKSTMKM0ZD9N.2FTBDFREZH699@ddevault.org%3E" rel="nofollow">https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss/%3CDKSTMKM0ZD9N....</a>) - counted by hand without LLM assistance so there may be mistakes or misreadings :)<p>~51 in favor of the proposal. 20 of those specifically stated a desire for a blanket or as-strong-as-possible ban. 17 mentioned paying for the service. Many (sorry, didn't count these!) stated that the reason they joined SourceHut in the first place is because of the strongly opinionated culture and that an LLM ban aligns well with that.<p>~19 opposing the proposal to some degree. (I am counting Greg K-H's comments as a very weak "oppose".) 5 specifically mentioned paying for the service, and 1 stated they will stop paying if the policy takes effect. Some stated that they don't personally use LLMs, or don't like them or the effects they have, or would support a weaker ban (e.g. only ban fully vibe-coded projects or excessive resource usage).</p>

<p>You're missing the same point that the blog post is missing. What they're doing is much less like replacing rand() with 4 and much more like setting seed(4) before generating any numbers. There is no "loss of quality" unless you're already using a temperature of 0.</p>

<p>I'm surprised (but not really) that you're the only comment I see even mentioning it. The ratings may be even lower quality than the SVGs.<p>Obviously they're all a bit cartoon-y, what else do you expect from SVGs. But I'm not convinced you could find a single human on Earth over the age of 4 who would seriously give the vehicle in GPT/1/whale/plane a 5/5.<p>Browse through the options a bit and the rest is not that much better. Grok/2/cat/plane, one of the more accurate planes, got a 2/5. For the most part, vehicles entirely missing do get a 1/5, except for whatever it is in Gemini/1/heron/plane scoring 4. Animals inside planes get completely random vehicle scores I guess.<p>The cats are all orange, except for a few of the skateboard cats that are black. I'm sure there's nothing to read into there...<p>Well, I've convinced myself that the next effective test of multimodal models will be whether their judgments of LLM-generated SVG airplanes are anywhere close to reasonable.</p>

<p>> imagine what someone in rural America goes through.<p>Here's the FCC's map of residential access to ≥1 Gbps fiber internet.<p><a href="https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/area-summary/fixed?version=dec2025&zoom=4&vlon=-98.635707&vlat=42.801385&br=r&speed=1000_100&tech=3" rel="nofollow">https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/area-summary/fixed?version=dec2...</a><p>Of course most areas don't have it, but take a look at the Dakotas. I won't say it's <i>better</i> than NYC, but it may be <i>as good</i> in quite a large number of counties where the population density is ~1/km²=~2/mi². Most of the ISPs in those areas are coops like BEK, Consolidated Telcom, Golden West, etc. that have been making good use of state and federal grants. Gigabit internet is generally $100/month from them (in NYC it's $90/month if I understand correctly).<p>Would be interesting to compare this to areas of Europe with a similar population density, e.g. Lapland or... well, maybe Lapland is the only one</p>

<p>Disclaimer: I have not used either product; I <i>have</i> used a number of Cloudflare's (mostly free tier) offerings.<p>In addition to the other points brought up, it looks like pricing strongly favors Bunny once you're outside of Cloudflare's free tier.<p>Per billion rows read: Bunny $0.30, Cloudflare $1.00 (first 25B/month free)<p>Per million rows written: Bunny $0.30, Cloudflare $1.00 (first 50M/month free)<p>Per GB stored: Bunny $0.10/region, Cloudflare $0.75 (5GB free)<p>Bunny also has a lot better region selection, 41 available vs. Cloudflare's 6 (see <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/configuration/data-location/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/configuration/data-loca...</a>). Even though Bunny charges storage per region used where Cloudflare doesn't, Bunny still comes out cheaper with 7 regions selected. Bunny lets you choose how many and which regions to replicate across; Cloudflare's region replication is an on/off toggle that is in beta and requires you to use "the new Sessions API" (I don't know what this entails).<p>The main reason I haven't tried out D1 is that it locks you into using Workers to access the database. Bunny says they have an HTTP API.<p>I plan to stick with VPSes for compute and storage, but I do like seeing someone (other than Amazon) challenge Cloudflare on their huge array of fun toys for devs to play with.</p>
