I just watched the Antisocial Network. I found it questionable that they let Kirtaner appear to take credit for the Parler scrape of video data about January 6. But I did appreciate that they got his character arc generally right, about how Kirtaner fell squarely on the "troll" side of the Anonymous schism, and not the "activist" side of the schism, originally... He only tried to take up the "activist" nomenclature and symbols, after coming out of retirement, to fight this battle against QAnon.

@… Not saying this alone is good enough, but a starting point:
If you’re writing a scraper, make sure you actually respect the damn robots.txt, it’s there for a reason.
If someone took the time and effort to explicitly indicate what you’re allowed to scrape, listen.

China's food delivery market explodes to $208bn as workers scrape by

Had some leftover homemade pizza sauce (puréed canned crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, citric acid, and salt) so I made some “pizza spice”.
Poured it on a silpat, added some basil leaves, dehydrated at 150°F overnight (stopping once to scrape the tomato leather off and put it on the rack to dry out faster). Then blitz it all to a powder and sieve it.
Very tomatoey and a bit spicy/salty.

Yeah, you're really gonna see which companies are just gonna allow the AI to scrape all their stuff now. I'm a copyleft/creative commons kinda guy. But if you have art that you don't want stolen, the answer is simple.
MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE and put your art there (edit: and use that Glaze type of stuff on your art that wrecks AI, just to be sure)! Neocities is SO easy to set up! Or your own domain and hosting via porkbun, GoDaddy (non-WordPress) - anything at all other than …

How does https://retention.com/ work to scrape email addresses from web visitors? Does it sniff out webmail cookies from the same browser?

Three months? Six months? A year? How long after you've got the kid do you scrape off the "Baby On Board" sticker?

How Adobe’s bet on non-exploitative AI is paying off
The company says it’s proof that quality AI models don’t have to include controversial copyrighted content.

"It turns out that generative AI companies don’t like it when you steal, sorry, scrape, images from them. Cue the world’s smallest violin."

Instead of Apps with maps, it should be a Map with apps/layers.
E.g. a map with a Find My layer and public transit layer. Or public transit with est arrivals and Yelp reviews.
Google kinda does this but it’s all Google or what they scrape.

Just footfalls and the occasional scrape of a chair against the floor, they’re pretty quiet, so quiet it takes me time to realize they’ve been away for days or weeks (they travel a lot.)

Decided I wanted to extract the transcripts from videos of talks I’ve given, and used ChatGPT to write Python code (I‘m not a Python programmer) to read the YouTube API (which I’ve not used before). First thing I found is that OAuth is needed so that Google knows who you are. Then found that I can only read the transcript for videos I personally posted. So now ChatGPT is helping me write code to scrape the web page that I can see the Transcript on. No way I could have done this on my own.

Todays fun has been recovering content from 18 sites in 8 languages for some site migrations I am helping out on.
The pagination on the pages could not be crawled, and none of these pages were in xml sitemaps either, so the vast majority of the pages are not indexed in search engines. Had to do a lot of manual scraping to get a list of URLs to scrape the content from.
Time for a beverage. 🍷

Global fluid turbulence simulations in the SOL of a stellarator island divertor
Isothermal fluid turbulence simulations have been performed in the edge and scrape-off-layer (SOL) of an analytic stellarator configuration with an island divertor, thereby providing numerical insight into edge turbulence in regions around islands in a stellarator. The steady-state transport follows the 1/R curvature drive toward the outboard side, but large fluctuations are present throughout the island divertor region, with the average wavelength of similar size to the island width. The syste…

Moreover, zinc has a starring role in wound healing and maintaining skin integrity. Whether it's a minor scrape or a surgical wound, zinc serves as a co-factor in collagen synthesis and inflammatory response reduction, speeding up the healing process. Its antibacterial properties also prevent wound infections, making it an all-encompassing ally for your skin’s health.

@… This sounds like it could be fairly low cost on the hosting end, if you were doing some kind of event driven architecture.
Once a day scrape the featured apps (or however often they update) -> lookup if any of those apps match a client you have in your db -> send out notifications.
With something like AWS Lambda I doubt this is a high cost so…

Tokamak H-mode edge-SOL global turbulence simulations with an electromagnetic, transcollisional drift-fluid model
The design of commercially feasible magnetic confinement fusion reactors strongly relies on the reduced turbulent transport in the plasma edge during operation in the high confinement mode (H-mode). We present first global turbulence simulations of the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) in ITER baseline H-mode conditions. Reasonable agreement with the experiment is obtained for outboard mid-plane measurements of plasma density, electron and ion temperature, as well as the rad…
