Just disable javascript like any sane person. Wikipedia, like most websites, has no use case for javascript whatsoever.


Speaking as someone who's generally strongly critical of JS abuse and overuse, Wikipedia with JS enabled offers a number of useful positives:

- Dynamic tables which can be sorted by column. (This is a feature I'd love to see baked in to HTML browsers generally.)

- The recent site redesign offering either visible floating or collapsed page navigation.

- Previews of both articles (Wikipedia links) and citations, such that these can be viewed without having to click through to a new page, or scroll the current article.

There are a number of others, I'm sure, but these three alone are quite handy.


Citation previews are nice, much more convenient than clicking the citation and then trying to find the back button. Link previews on desktop are useful too.

Bit late for april fools'


Especially when a much cheaper ESP32 can do the same thing.

The disk space requirement is to build it yourself from scratch.


It takes 13 GB to build yourself the entirety of Chromium, this is has no right to be anywhere close.


I went to the matter web site and followed the instructions to install the SDK on a raspberry pi. I didn’t measure how much space it took but it installed dozens (hundreds?) of packages; it is extreme bloatware.


That's still insane, you could build an operating system from scratch with that amount of space.

All this does is toggle a pin on and off.


No we don't.

I treat ChatGPT like a person. People are flawed. People lie. People make shit up. People are crazy. Just apply regular people filters to ChatGPT output. If you blindly believe ChatGPT output and take it for perfect truth, someone likely already sold you a bridge.


> Just apply regular people filters to ChatGPT output.

This is technically correct, as LLMs are just aggregations of texts people produce.

It's also not quite right, as people have expectations/biases about how responses from computers might be different, and interaction with computers is missing many pieces of context that they might rely on to gauge probability of lying.

Telling them "ChatGPT can lie to you" is a succinct way of recalibrating expectations.


Actual people are also likely to tell you if they don't know something, aren't sure of their answer, or simply don't understand your question. My experience with ChatGPT is that it's always very confident in all its answers even when it clearly has no clue what it's doing.


Lol no they're not. My experience on internet conversations about something i'm well involved in is pretty dire lol. People know what they don't know better than GPT but that's it.


It's an outright trivial task.


I didn't read the article, the title is too obviously unintelligent. Obviously other tech companies have to not only copy one, but all of musk's management principles to be successful.


Coffee must be fresh to taste good, months old coffee is rubbish.


Don't buy stuff from HP. They're scamming customers, it's known.


Article ignores that people killing themselves speeding has largely positive effects for society.


I'm not.
