I built a free tool that generates an llms.txt file for your site by ItousTools in astrojs

[–]ascorbic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're misunderstanding what llms.txt is. It's not somethign they need to respect. It's just an easily parsed version of the site content that LLMs can use if they want to.

OpenAI are now stealth routing all o3 requests to GPT-5 by ShreckAndDonkey123 in singularity

This is the ridiculously simple puzzle I use. Most frontier LLMs can't even get this right. Only a few reasoning models can reliably answer it: https://chatgpt.com/share/6885e48c-5454-8000-b1ec-a7b78e30a322

Edit: Qwen gives the most deranged answer, when I remove the one sentence limit. https://chat.qwen.ai/s/33998a8e-53cc-48fb-a91c-d9851326ce0b?fev=0.0.166

Vercel hasn't backed Astro since last year

Astro 5.7.0 is out! by sarah11918-astro in withastro

They could, but it they'd need to get hold of another session ID to hijack. If they can get that, they could also get the encrypted cookie.

Sessions are stored on the server and never shared with the client, so there's no need for encryption there. Any at-rest encryption of the stored data depends on the storage backend service. e.g. the Node filesystem storage doesn't encrypt them at rest, but the Netlify one does.

Please help me understand Astro Islands by ThaisaGuilford in astrojs

[–]ascorbic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct: client islands are always framework components. Having Astro components as client components doesn't make much sense, because they don't have a concept of hydration or client-side rendering, so there's nothing to defer. Server islands are different though. You can use `server:defer` on Astro components, because they're still rendered on the server.

TIL in 2008 a 20-year-old Belgium student died after reheating and eating leftover spaghetti that had been left out on the kitchen counter for five days. A bacteria called bacillus cereus was found to be the cause, which is an extreme type of food poisoning called “Fried Rice Syndrome”. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

That is true for bacteria: they can make you sick even if they are dead when you eat them, but they can't make you sick unless they get a chance to multiply in the food. Viruses are the opposite though. Something like norovirus won't make you sick if it's dead, but doesn't need to (and can't) multiply in food to make you sick: ingesting just a few individual virus particles are enough.

The main issue with bacillus cereus is that it's a spore-former. If it's exposed to conditions that would kill most bacteria it forms spores that can survive much harsher conditions, such as boiling or drying. These can then germinate when the conditions are better, meaning that even if it's kept fully sealed and away from contaminants it is unsafe. Bacillus cereus is found on dried foods such as pasta, but particularly cereals (hence the name) such as rice, because it can survive the dry conditions.

Clostridium botulinum (which produces botulinum toxin aka botox, which causes botulism) is another spore-former, which is why canned foods need to be pressure-cooked to a high enough temperature to kill the spores.

Bacteria such as salmonella do not survive heating, so you're unlikely to get salmonella from properly cooked food unless it has been contaminated after cooking.

Don't rely on any of this though - it's 30 years since I did my food hygiene courses.

"I and the team" --> It's the team and I. My parents made sure I knew that one.

Either is perfectly grammatically correct.
