Has anyone curated a static download of the good bits of Wikipedia/YouTube/etc. for being able to learn or explore new things offline? We could call it "The Good Place".
curated offline wikipedia
The the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

One time, when I was much younger and less responsible, I was arguing with someone online. I checked Wikipedia, realized I was wrong, edited the article to change “is” to “is not,” and then sent the link. (And then fixed it a few minutes later.) So, relatable. Related

Growth tactic #13: "🎈Go anti-professional: One of the most viral LinkedIn posts of all time came from a manager who swapped her corporate headshot for a casual, no-makeup photo. Pick a norm of your own and break it in public. You might talk about how much roles actually pay or admit that a big launch didn’t actually meet internal expectations. People are tired of perfectly curated, glossy exteriors of the professional world, so a bit of human messiness will stand out." More here: lennysnewsletter.com
Quoting @lennysan 60+ creative growth ideas Everyone's running the same growth playbook: high-production launch videos, paid influencers, AEO, social, maybe some (poorly attended) events. Your competitors are in the same channels competing for the same eyeballs. But attention goes to what people don't see coming. Th… Related

Does anyone have a high resolution copy of Shishkin’s Brook in a Forest (Stream by a Forest Slope)? Wikipedia has the highest resolution I can find, but not nearly high enough to print at a reasonable size. I’ve already looked through the top hits on Google and Yandex in both English and Russian. Is this just a dead end? Google Russia Related

Watching the news out of Germany, feeling a bit baffled. AfD looks like another Trumpy ultranationalist racist-in-practice fashy-adjacent culture-warrior gang, but what I can’t understand is the pro-Russian message: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AfD_pro-Russia_movement Why on earth does that appeal to German voters, even hard-right ones? #afd Russia Related

Librarian, technology instructor and writer in rural Vermont; longtime community manager at MetaFilter and author of a book on the digital divide.
Visited a library today which was named after a rich guy from Harvard (class of 1834). Discovered, through very minor research, that the money given to the library (claimed to have been left in his will) was, in fact, given by his sister, the sole beneficiary of his $$ after he left no will at all. After correcting the Wikipedia record on this point, I have now gotten lost reading about The Harvard College Rebellion of 1834 which is about as ridiculous as it sounds. scholarship.law.wm.edu

Recall Wikipedia killed all encyclopaedias including Encyclopaedia Britannica, World Book Encyclopaedia, and Microsoft Encarta. Defective but free is often good enough for most customers, existing and potential. Quoting @r0ck3t23 Scott Galloway just explained why China doesn’t need to build better AI than America. It only needs to make American AI worthless. Galloway: “I think China is beginning to engage in what I’ll call AI dumping.” Not competing. Dumping. It’s the term economists use for flooding a foreign market with b… Related

Their words
if you ask a person when was Abraham Lincoln born and they don't know the date. They could sit there, they could think about it for a week, if they if they don't have access to Wikipedia or something, they're not going to be able to do better answering that question if they thought about it for a week compared to 5 seconds.

Farzapedia, personal wikipedia of Farza, good example following my Wiki LLM tweet. I really like this approach to personalization in a number of ways, compared to "status quo" of an AI that allegedly gets better the more you use it or something: 1. Explicit. The memory artifact is explicit and navigable (the wiki), you can see exactly what the AI does and does not know and you can inspect and manage this artifact, even if you don't do the direct text writing (the LLM does). The knowledge of you is not implicit and unknown, it's explicit and viewable. 2. Yours. Your data is yours, on your loca… Quoting @FarzaTV This is Farzapedia. I had an LLM take 2,500 entries from my diary, Apple Notes, and some iMessage convos to create a personal Wikipedia for me. It made 400 detailed articles for my friends, my startups, research areas, and even my favorite animes and their impact on me complete with backlinks. But,… LLMs Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
