You misunderstand how clearance works. Any one can get "read-on" to anything with the proper authorities giving them access. It is an administrative step. It might undergo review b…

Writing seems to have worked out pretty well.

Any time an empirical research project has to add QUOTES around a common term, it sets off the non-sense radar: ..."laziness"... In the battle cry of the philosopher: DEFINE YOUR T…

I'm curious, what would be the reason for doing this?

Have there been any declarations by various AI companies (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity) that they are actually relying upon these llms.txt files? Is there any evidence that t…

Cheers...Chrome dev tools must have tricked me. Also nice that the author didn't minify it. Interesting to read through.
