> all the content of English's wikipedia without images and videos in just 36GB

36GB seems like a really big number if it's just text. A cursory Google search says 1MB will hold about 500 pages of text (ignoring compression). So 36GB would be something like 18 million pages? Let's say a 1000 page book is 10cm wide, so 18M pages wind up as 1800 meters of books, or 180 meter-wide bookshelves with 10 shelves each, which is maybe a large library? It seems like a lot of that must be external sources. I wonder what percentage was actually written by Wikipedia editors?

Can confirm. Small rural school (primary and middle), half of the teachers were not specialists on the subjects they taught. We were supposed to be learning English from the grade 4, but we had a "proper" English teacher for a year and then were taught by people who knew no English themselves.
But I read a lot and it helped. I managed to be among the best students onward: be it the secondary school or the university.
My take is: good teachers can motivate and inspire you a lot, but bad teachers can be ignored and should not hinder your education. I agree with Mark Twain here: "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cairncross#Operation_Cita...

Johny Carincross was a spy who passed over raw intercepts decrypted with Tunny to the Soviet Union; so they got the German order of battle and other information in advance of the battle of Kursk; that sounds like a major contribution to winning the war (the spy was confirming information that the British passed on via official channels, however they seem to have put more trust in the reports of their spy). The outcome of the battle of Kursk did make a big difference.

> "Intelligence never wins a war on its own," says Prof Ferris.

Another event where spies/code breakers made a major difference is the battle of Moscow;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sorge#Wartime_intellig...

"Various writers have speculated that the information allowed the release of Siberian divisions for the Battle of Moscow, where the German Army suffered its first strategic defeat in the war. To that end, Sorge's information might have been the most important military intelligence work in World War II. However, Sorge was not the only source of Soviet intelligence about Japan, as Soviet codebreakers had broken the Japanese diplomatic codes and so Moscow knew from signals intelligence that there would be no Japanese attack on the Soviet Union in 1941.[46] "

> To summarize, no chatbots are not dead. They are only beginning.

Yes, there will likely be more chatbots in the future. And yes, THEN they will be usable. But no, it's not a good user experience yet.
If a website needs a chatbot they:

- Didn't put enough effort in organizing the website

- Don't want to spend money on real support

- Hate their customers
thanks a lot. you're very welcome!
Outages are not really more likely under this model of many grids connected with DC interconnectors unless a government plans really badly and ends up relying on them. It will always be assumed that interconnectors could go down, thus countries will make sure they have enough reserve generation.
That is exactly the opposite of what I said.
I enjoyed the part where "everyone is equal, but gaben is more equal than others, if you get our meaning"
Most chatbots are just bad: either just trying to get your mail-address because no support person is online or being a convoluted menu in the tiniest window.

It would be fair to rule those out and look at more conversational chatbots that provide good guidance through form filling, understand natural language and maybe are even hybrids that can be taken over by humans when they fail themselves.

A simple form of the hybrids is some pre-processing. The bot says "hello" and "whats your problem" or identifies your account and than human support staff jumps right in to the action.
That would block youtube-dl, but the user could still customise their browser to record the video stream to disk. This would mean it would take as long to record as to play the video, but it would work.

As Mindwipe says, if Google really meant business they'd use WideVine for all content rather than just for pay-to-access content.
Fair enough dude. I'm sorry you feel short-changed by the public school system. I'm sorry you weren't able to see the point of my anecdote. I'm sorry this conversation has become so confrontational. I don't think it needed to go that way.

> I would love to see analysis under which Stalin was intellectual

The Wikipedia article conflates intelligentsia with intellectuals, which I don't agree with (I'm Polish, so I have some long-ingrained intuitions regarding those terms). Stalin, as an educated non-wealthy person (he studied to become a priest), can easily be seen as someone who is a member of inteligentsia.

> Which literally means every person participating in Russian politics is intelligentsia by this definition.

Tzar family or many of the old aristocratic families were not a member of intelligentsia and would probably be offended by the association. The key factor of being in inteligentsia was (from Wiki): "people engaged in the complex mental labours". The higher classes didn't do any labor.
Of course it is. That is why, had the pilot survived, he/she would have faced criminal charges.

That would assume that there is a working Congress (for the laws) and working intra-state coordination (for constitutional amendments). The reality is that Congress has been locked up ever since the third year of Obama, and since 1971 (26th) there only got one constitutional amendment passed (27th, in 1992).

That is the reason why the courts have gotten so important, and why the Supreme Court and other federal justice nominations and their confirmation by the Trump administration will have such long lasting impact - given that there is no input from the legislative, governing has fallen to the executive and judiciary.

They work very hard and they get relatively little for it. I wouldn't call that prosperity yet. Their stock index (SSE Composite Index) hasn't grown at all since 2009. Their GDP growth has been slowing, especially when you consider that they constantly devaluate their own currency (the inflation should make their growth numbers look bigger).

You can point to nice modern cities like Shanghai and assume that China is prosperous, but you can do the same with Pyongyang and assume that North Korea is prosperous.

Besides that, they seem to have been getting freer over time until about 2009 (compared to what they had before)... 2009 is also when the GDP growth rate started to fall.

> Pointing out or "whistle blow" legal or ethical wrongdoings by a single person has nothing to do with a group coming together and agreeing on not participating in political topics that aren't essential to the groups mission.

Whether e.g. my colleagues that happen to be minorities feel comfortable in the working environment is super important for me as an employee, and should be important to the company too. Even as a purely profit-driven incentive, but hopefully also because empathy is a thing that exists.

My colleagues without citizenship, gender-minorities, and ethnic minorities in general are, for example impacted disproportionately by the policies of the current administration. If one of these colleagues talks about "politics" that aren't directly relevant to the mission, but impact them deeply as humans and emotional beings, they shouldn't be shut down. For them, it might instill a degree of confidence in the organization if the company, instead of ignoring their plight, chose to actively support them.

> You're describing the fragmentation problem

That's a real problem, but actually I wasn't describing it.

What I'm describing is how I found Slack difficult to work usefully with to a significant degree, compared with other platforms I've used.

Therefore, when evaluating its effect on community growth, it's not as simple as "use Slack nowadays to grow an open source community", because it acts as a significant repulsive barrier towards some of us (who are relevant to that community), even if it's attractive towards others.

It's not so much fragmentation as functionality; and those might be solved if there was better federation between systems to allow a broader range of tools.

The reason this is not just fragmentation is illustrated by my result with the Rust & Go communities: After trying out the Slack channels, and finding myself only dropping in once a month or so for a peek due to the tool being clunky, I lost the motivation to go looking for other fragmented sub-communities until I'd eventually find a "good" one. As a result I haven't gotten involved in any, despite the initial interest. I'm too busy with other things, and other communities. So I'll just passively consume the product now for a while, until reasons to put in the effort come up again. And I'm someone who is actively interested in the projects as a PLI person. Just an anecdote, but I think this repulsion effect is not great for open source community building.
Not sure what you mean with external sources, but I have seen nothing but user generated content in there (but I haven't read all wikipedia articles, obviously).

A few things to note, though:

1/ it's not pure text content, it's html content, this has a significant overhead

2/ a zim file is not just compressed content, but also huge indexes referencing where is which content. You look for your article's title in the reference table, you find the position of your article in the file and you decompress just that part. This is what allows for selective decompression without decompressing the whole content.
I really like this point. What really matters is your experience, your connections, and your contributions. What everyone else has done has usually been a herd mentality, now is no different, but being able to carve out a little space of your own with those who want that as well--- that is more possible today than it ever has been. In a way, we are in a golden age of being able to do it. Be the change you want to see in the internet.

Yep, I agree. However, even in the wake of GTP-3, maybe it is time to abandon the term Chatbot. Essentially "chatbots" are a tool to deal with unstructured data/content. At least this is how I see them: a better search interface.

Also, wikipedia has a lot of spam and orphan pages, insanely long lists, etc. Those are hard to algorithmically filter out.
