Those stairs look challenging to say the least

Well in the example above the manufacturer still has incentive to provide the manual's and guides that describe how to use their products, and if that is subsequently served by an LLM that's totally fine. The only sites that LLM's would have a negative effect on are those that are only hosting content for the ad views.


Manuals don't always well explain how to use their products with everybody else's products because there are too many to do that. But there are lots of people trying things out and might figure out the fine details on how to make various things work. They then publish these how-to pieces (which exist no where else) to the internet, or at least they used to when there were incentives to do so.


> are those that are only hosting content for the ad views.

I might never blog/publish code again amidst all this. I never had ads on my sites. I am not alone in this.


Those hosting content for ad views, or for fame or other personal gain.

Sites like Wikipedia or developer documentation pages which exist to distribute knowledge for its own sake don't have any reason to care whether that knowledge is consumed by a human or a computer being used by a human.


Same, early 50s and this is like the heyday of coding where you could rapidly iterate on things and actively make leaps and bounds of progress. Super fun.


Agreed - this seems like a no brainer, surely this is something that is being worked on.


They just do the same thing with regular homes :)


Sadly, that's at least partially true. But rebuilding on a sight where a home was destroyed eliminates the information value (that this site isn't safe from tsunami) and the coverage is far from uniform/regular (so you can't tell if there are no buildings in an area because it was previously undeveloped or is unsafe).


‘How old are these buildings?’ would be wise to consider.

This probably works for a variety of things and in many places.


Japan has a bad habit of considering buildings as disposable. Odd that a land with 1000 year old temples knocks down 40 year old houses with zero remorse, but that seems to be the case.


I'm not sure that judgement of calling it 'bad' is warranted. Certainly it's different that western approaches to housing but I'm not sure whether it's better or worse. My understanding of the 1000 year old temples is that they are periodically replaced and rebuilt, like a Ship of Theseus situation


1000 year old temples

Well it depends. Very important shrines are dismantled and rebuilt every 20 years, eg https://japanwoodcraftassociation.com/2020/02/13/traditions-...

There are lots of old houses in use and for sale in Japan, but many people prefer building a new house to renovating or maintaining an old one - partly for practical reasons, partly because newer structures are more likely to be earthquake-resilient, partly due to haunting.


Fine over here using Firefox


I agree that it was a bit meh, maker faire with a small side of youtubers is an accurate description but overall I enjoyed it and there were definitely some cool booths. Saturday was also ridiculously busy making it hard to navigate and interact with folks, Sunday was much better in that regard.


Are there any examples of these types of reconstructions where the reconstruction has been performed blind on the skull of someone for which we have photos?


Yes, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5931631/

Note that the National Library of Medicine is hosted on NIH, and the administration has been scrubbing much of that content, so I think the link works now, but I can't promise that it will stay good.


I would also love to see this. I I'm very skeptic about this kinds of reconstructions based only on the remains.
