I’m running into similar issues, do you mind expanding on your solutions?
You’re not contradicting what I said. Apple gets to choose whether they want to cooperate or not, based on their own “morals” and profit motives. Chinese companies don’t get that choice

Can’t redlib operators just use a reddit account for? Login to get past the login wall, and then fetch requests for other users

Apple makes computers? You can turn an Apple computer into a router in 10 minutes using docker

It’s not “AI”. Doesn’t exist.
At this point it doesn’t matter what you call it. The results are real.

At least in the west the companies can fight back, like Apple has done a few times. In China the government can force companies to do their bidding.

Ok that makes sense. As a user I’ve always wondered what it was like from the providers perspective. I always hear people complaining that more and more websites block VPNs, but sounds like it might be better to say more and more websites block scrapers and the VPNs are collateral. Thanks for the insight

Do you know if the scrapers/bots are using the VPN providers? Or if they are just using VPSes in the same datacenter as the VPN, and the datacenter is just NATing all egress traffic to have the same IPv4. In that case I wonder if IPv6 could help distinguish between VPN traffic and bot traffic…
Though ultimately a gate like Anubis or Angie Guardian might be the best solution here so nice work.
Replying to @melroy@kbin.melroy.org
Unfortunate but understandable. I believe there are public lists of the IPs of major VPN providers if you wanted to make an exception, but as VPNs are sometimes used for scraping too, I can see why you might not want that.
Replying to @melroy@kbin.melroy.org
I do. Do you block all VPNs? Or is it just rate limiting?

Actually now that I check your username I think I have seen your instances before, though it seems like your website is down at the moment. But thank you for service to open source !

Good point. The article does talk about how Ragavan failed to find the solution a couple of years earlier, but the AI was able to find Broadbent’s paper that "gave it on a silver platter.”
Almost seems like the “smarter” people like Broadbent come up with the more novel revolutionary ideas, then others find ways of applying it to the rest of the world. And AI is able to do the latter as well.

little gap exists is far from enough to explain the disparity in investment efficacy.
This is difficult to say. From what I’ve seen AI gains are slowing down, so catching up might not be that hard anymore. We’ll see from here if China is able to pull a clear lead. If so, then that’s clear evidence that they aren’t just copying

how are you using 128 GB? Genuinely curious because I run over 20 services with only 8 GB

China is clearly ahead of America
Well that’s debatable. The article implies that the US is still ahead. The root comment of this thread implies that the US is still ahead. Your earlier comment made no mention of this idea. Clearly if that was part of your argument you should have brought it up earlier

I think of it like drafting behind another vehicle on the speedway. The car behind gets higher fuel efficiency

No unfortunately it does not. Sometimes the webpage itself contains a meta tag with the original URL but not always
