How horrific.

I cannot read the article, but this seems like a non-issue.

Loads of old Wikipedia pages are essentially complete. Just freeze them.

And didn't the Wikipedia foundation have years worth of funding already? And wouldn't fewer visitors imply less need for server and bandwidth?

Current events need editors, and those will have controversy. I expect primary news sources would be better for anything less than a week old.

A Wikipedia that freezes at 2024 would still be of great value.

Clearly, I am missing the problem.

It didn't take much digging, but for exposure I am posting here.

A big page on Eliza at https://sites.google.com/view/elizagen-org/About
One can try a reasonable Eliza right now. https://anthay.github.io/eliza.html (linked from the previous link.)

I understand the failure rates for the GPUs is huge. The duty cycles tend to be high, with power and cooling issues.

(Actually the power issues are wild and can destroy power distribution and generation equipment. "Power Stabilization for AI Training Datacenters" 21 Aug 2025 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.14318)

Another advantage of cookbooks. (There are good ones, but a lot are junk.)

Whoa Whoa.

The story of Noah's Ark is not about saving animals. It is about surviving a calamity that one saw coming, AND NOT saving more of humanity. This way one and their children can become insanely wealthy, and nearly the only humans.

When one needed an elephant, where did they go? To Noah. Need a chicken? Noah! Need help due to your house washing away, killing you and your family? That's right, Noah!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Houses are going to have to be built much more defensively. At this point anyone could have gas poured on their home and lit up, or have fake police knock and shoot.

What? Are you suggesting a "fascist tyranny" is better than other kinds of tyranny?

Invading Canada would be a quagmire and a terrible idea.

• Canadians look just like US Americans.
• Canada is huge and outside of a few cities is mostly empty.
• Lots of families are spread across both sides of the boarder. Bombing Canadian cities would cause a rebellion within the USA.
• The boarder is huge and nearly impossible to secure. Canadian rebels could easily slip into the USA to carry about bombings.
• Canadian sleeper cells are already in place. (Over 800K Canadians are known to live in the USA.)

Any guesses as to how much money would be in the pool if every person in your country paid into a single pool for automotive insurance? I bet that if such a pool existed, then there would be a lot of motivation to use that money to reduce the risk of paying out. Which makes me wonder if public transit is better in countries with national health insurance as a result of the national health insurance.

The USA has ~23 million millionaire households. So many people could do that.

It seems that one can pay a percentage of the bond amount as an annual fee, avoiding having to put up the fully amount. I have no idea if that is a good idea, and I have no finished reading the link I posted.

When would some want to do this over having normal liability insurance? Maybe if they drove very little.
