Viewing this in Firefox on Linux I see the outline of the travels before the map loads, then the map loads over it and I can't see it anymore.

Hm, I don't see much reason to use it unless the website in question is paid. Web today is run on ad revenue and not only won't the site extract any revenue from the agent, it even won't look as a person for ad purposes.

The way I see it the choice for websites is quickly becoming not ads vs. no ads but getting scraped for free by ai companies vs. offering a clean managed front door. Right now, when an ai scrapes a site, it bypasses the entire user experience that site owners have carefully designed to guide visitors and keep them engaged. The ai just extracts the data and leaves completely ignoring the layout, the related content, and any other part of the site s strategy. Aura is a way for a site to manage that interaction, and this opens up a couple of possibilities. For paid services the aura.json manifest can technically define which capabilities require payment. Your ai agent connected to your payment method, could then directly pay for a api call on your behalf to complete a task. But perhaps more interestingly for adsupported sites aura enables a new kind of advertising. Since the ai s request contains precise user intent(e.g. searching for flights to London) the api response can include a highly relevant, structured ad object right alongside the data. That s an ad delivered at the peak moment of user intent, which is far more valuable than a simple banner impression. It gives control back to the site owner to build a business model that actually works in a world full of ai agents.

top comment: "The credit should be given to poet T S Eliot (1920): “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn.”

and its reply: "So really it has nothing to do with stealing whatsoever"

Canada is bigger than USA.

I’m guessing they meant population being smaller.

It would be ludicrous to say that justice won, but I'm glad he is finally free.

Just not being available in app stores would effectively stop its usage.

That is hardy going to be a factor. Most people are not going to care anyway and those that do will be able to install it without an app store.

Those pesky seed servers will still exist though.

Thanks, it beggars belief that they could publish the article without such substantial piece of information.

>paid peer review

What? Elsevier doesn't pay reviewers either.

I know, what I'm saying is if universities band together, they can arrange for reviewers to be paid, so that authors at all universities start a discussion when they are assigned to review for Elsevier... for free.

Liver donation in particular is easy, because they can take just half of it and it will grow back.

A huge chunk of the people who use the internet do not know what a DNS is, nor do they care. So the block, while technically pointless, is not inconsequential
