Why Wikipedia sucks: <ourbigbook com/Wikipedia>{full}.

Best languages:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Wikipedia[latin]
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_Wikipedia[esperanto]. Other constructed languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_constructed_languages_with_Wikipedias

The most important page of Wikipedia is undoubtedly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources which lists the accepted and non accepted sources. Basically, the decision of what is true in this world.

Wikipedia is incredibly picky about copyright. E.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_of_all_fair_use_images_of_living_people because "such portrait could be created". Yes, with a time machine, no problem! This does more harm than good... excessive!

Citing in Wikipedia is painful. Partly because of they have a billion different templates that you have to navigate. They should really have a system where you can easily reuse existing sources across articles! <How to use a single source multiple times in a Wikipedia article?>{full}

Wikipedia

<Ciro Santilli> has felt that perhaps what is missing in 2020's <AGI> research is:
* the interface between:
  * the continuous/noisy level (now well developed under <artificial neural network> techniques of the 2010's)
  * and <symbolic AI> level AI
  The key question is somewhat how to extract symbols out of the space-time continuous experiences.
* more specialized accelerators that somehow interface with more generic <artificial neural networks>. Notably some kind of speialized processing of spacial elements is obviously hardcoded into the brain, see e.g. <grid cell>{full}

Forcing these boundaries to be tested was one of the main design goals of <Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games>.

In those games, for example:
* when you press a button here, a door opens somewhere far away
* when you touch certain types of objects, a chemical reaction may happen, but not other types of objects
Therefore, those continuous objects would also have "magic" effects that could not be explained by "simple" "what is touching what" ideas.

* you don't get any/sufficient recognition for your contributions. The closest they have to upvotes and reputation is the incredibly obscure "thank" feature which is only visible to the receiver itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Notifications/Thanks
* <deletionism> is a tremendous problem on Wikipedia, for two main causes:
  * tutorial-like subjectivity
  * notability
  The stuff you wrote can be deleted anytime by some random admin/opposing editor, examples at: <deletionism on Wikipedia>{full}.

  This also possibly leads to <Edit wars> in the case of sub-page content (full page deletion is more clearly arbitrated).
* Scope too limited, and politics defined. Everything has to sound encyclopedic and be notable enough. This basically excludes completely good tutorials.
* Insane impossible to use <markup language>-base talk pages instead of issue trackers?! Ridiculous!!! That change alone could make Wikipedia so much more amazing. Wikipedia could become a Stack Exchange killer by doing that alone + some basic reputation system. Some work on that is being done at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DiscussionTools[], already in Beta as of 2022.

Unknown real developer name, claims to be from <Canada> on YouTube channel about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBibitesDigitalLife/about[], likely because he's a software developer and wants to keep his employer's claws away from his side project.

Appears to be <closed source> unfortunately, so not suitable for research.

<video What will happen after 100h of evolution? by The Bibites (2022)> mentions it was started five years ago, so circa 2017.

Appears to be <Unity>-based, if you download and extract for <Linux> you get files named `UnityPlayer.so`.

Author is named Leo Caussan in game credits at startup: https://www.linkedin.com/in/l%C3%A9o-caussan-560350136/[], a <Canadian> <software engineer>.

Was not very <Linux> compatible: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBibites/comments/vqk6ac/program_stalls_at_a_blue_screen/ Trying to run 0.5.0 leads to a blank screen after you click "start simulation".

This channel contains several 2D continuous simulations and explains AI techniques used.

The engine appears to be <open source>: https://github.com/Primer-Learning/PrimerTools (previously at: https://github.com/Helpsypoo/primer[]). Models are closed source however.

They have several interesting multiagent game ideas.

Claims <Unity>-based, so has the downside of relying on a non-<FOSS> engine.

Ciro became mildly jealous of this channel when he found out about it, because at 800k subscribers at the time, the creator is likely able to make a living off of it, something which Ciro thought impossible.

As of 2022 he was at 1.6M followers with only 17 videos! Of course, much of those videos is about the software and they require infinite development hours to video time ratios.

Much of this success hinges a large part on the amazing 3D game presentation.

Well done!

Created by <Justin Helps>. Awesome name.

To make things better, the generically named channel is also the title of one of the best films of al time: <Primer (2004)>.

  used the "Ubuntu Software" GUI as mentioned at: https://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/solutions/ht510810-how-to-do-software-updates-linux[]. Kudos for making this accessible to newbs.

  After doing that, another update became available to: 0.1.56, clicked it and was much faster than the previous one, and didn't auto reboot. After manual reboot, `dmidecode` diffed again:

  plus a bunch of other lines.
* 2021-06-05 upgraded to <Ubuntu> 21.04 with a clean install from an ISO. Selected
  * "Minimal installation"
  * "Erase disk and install Ubuntu". Notably, this erased the <Microsoft Windows> that came with the computer and was never used not even once
  * "Erase disk ans use ZFS"
  * Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security
  After this, the GUI felt fast, who would have thought that erasing a bunch of stuff would make the system faster!

  which gives an idea of how the above map to mountpoints.

  Had two GUI freezes since installation, a fixed images shows no matter what I do, possibly graphics only, but impossible to tell (next time I'll try SSH access). No <Nvidia> drivers installed yet.

2020-06-06: dropped some lemon juice on the bottom left of touchpad. Bottom left button not working anymore... I'm an idiot. There are many other alternatives, but very aggravating, I'll replace it for sure. Can't find the exact replacement part or any videos showing its replacement online easliy, dang. For the T430: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3lzV9uXRjU Asked at: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-P-and-W-Series-Mobile-Workstations/P51-left-bottom-button-below-trackpad-mouse-left-click-stopped-working-possible-to-replace/m-p/5019903 Also I could not access it because you need to remove the HDD first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Klawxc7T_Y and I can't pull it out even with considerable force, unlike in the video... And OMG, those button caps are impossible to re-install once removed!!! Then when I put the whole thing back together, the upper buttons were not working anymore. FUUUUUUUUCK. When first opening I pulled on it without properly removing the cap and it came off, but it didn't look broken in any way and I put it back in. Keyboard works thank God, so right black connector is fine, left white one oppears to be the one for upper keys and trackpoint, both of which stopped working. The hardware manual confirms that they are both part of the same device, so basically a mouse :-) TODO can it be bought separately from te keyboard? Doesn't look like it, photo of keyboard part includes those buttons. The manual also confirms that the bottom buttons are one device with the trackpad "trackpad with buttons", thus forming the second entire mouse.

2019-04-17: popup asking about "ThinkPad P51 Management Engine Update" from from 182.29.3287 to 184.60.3561, said yes.

<Ubuntu> 17.10 setup after buying it:

* partition setup: https://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation/976430\#976430
* BIOS:
  * for NVIDIA driver:
  * for KVM, required by Android Emulator: enable virtualization extensions
* TODO fix the brightness keys:
  * failed: https://askubuntu.com/questions/769006/brightness-key-not-working-ubuntu-16-04-lts/770100\#770100

Battery life shown by Ubuntu battery app after installation:

* before NVIDIA driver setup: 8h
* after: 6.5h

We intersect <2013 DNS Census virtual host cleanup> with <2013 DNS census MX records> and that leaves 460k hits. We did lose a third on the the MX records as of 260 hits since secureserver.net is only used in 1/3 of sites, but we also concentrate 9x, so it may be worth it.

Then we <Wayback Machine CDX scanning>. it takes about 5 days, but it is manageale.

We did a full <Wayback Machine CDX scanning> for JAR, SWF and cgi-bin in those, but only found a single new hit:
