The passing costs on to renters is a bit of a fallacy. Rental price is market related, with the obvious question being, if a new tax would make them raise rents, why don't they just raise the rents right now and turn a larger profit?
Fact is that the rent is currently set at what the market is willing and able to pay, regardless of what the cost to the owners is.

Played a few holes. It's fun. As a person who has never played actual golf I'll just assume this is what it's like, with more walking.

I can definitively say llms.txt is not used by any AI players. I run a blogging platform with around 80k blogs and /llms.txt is not requested by anything (other than humans checking to see if there's an llms.txt path).
All regular pages are aggressively scraped to the extent it's a problem I have to consistently manage, but not llms.txt.

It's a copy of their llms.txt page. Not the page itself.

Thanks, it also runs well as a PWA. It's Threejs under the hood, plus some rendering optimisation to ensure it performs well in mobile browsers.
It is a highly requested feature. I just seem to have painted myself into a corner dev wise, and it's a pretty difficult feature to build without significant re-architecture. It's on my to-do list though.
Literally just ease of use. Blender you have to learn to use, whereas JSM is built to be pick-up-and-go for even the least tech-savvy users.
It's entirely possible to export an image of the scene and upload that to your genAI of choice.
Creator of JustSketchMe here! I was very surprised to see this on HackerNews this morning. Very cool to see this doing the rounds 6 years into running this :)
Creator of Bear here. Suggesting that because one project fails, others will too is a bit of a fallacy. Fact is that whether you self-host or not, you're still using someone else's platform (unless you're a
real self-hoster with a box in your closet, in which case, good on you and godspeed).
I think as long as platforms have an easy way for people to backup and migrate, that's fair.
Additionally, part of the appeal of Bear is that I've made it my personal mission to get the platform to outlive me. Take that as you will. I can't prove that Bear will live on in perpetuity, but I can try my best.

I run the Bear Blog platform. The discover feed on Bear has become a social hub and community space for many. There’s something quite charming about slower interconnectivity via RSS, email, and replying via posts.
It’s well worth checking out: https://bearblog.dev/discover/
I just did this recently! Here’s what worked for me and had me modelling fairly complex parts in a few hours:
- Watch a few tutorial videos on your tool of choice (I was using OnShape) to get an understanding of what is possible
- Set up a Grok project with the prompt being something along the lines of “You are mentoring me in using OnShape. Respond briefly and concisely.”
I have the two windows side by side and whenever I don’t know how to do something I ask Grok and it points me in the right direction.
