In 1.18.4 with https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/3719 we introduced an error message for users using `select` with out of bounds indices. The message ended up being confusing for some users because it mentioned negative indices, which is not the main use case.

I replaced it with a message that is very similar to the one you get with you try to access a list with an out-of-range index.
