Half the entropy is trying to figure out which pieces of this article's text are supposed to be the silly falsehoods being corrected, and which pieces are just the second or third paragraph of a preceding 'Fact'. Deadpool is easier to follow.
- notnmeyer 5mo agoglad i’m not the only one. i’m more or less baffled reading that.
- roter 5mo agoI saw a note from an earlier year's discussion saying the css has been changed over the years. Perhaps it was easier then to discern fact or myth, truth or fiction.
- Tomte 5mo agoHey, someone submitted my old article. On my birthday! Oh, people hate it… and even someone I definitely look up to. You‘re absolutely right, though, I don‘t remember it being that bad, and probably I just read over it when resurrecting the article, because I‘m so familiar with every word. I‘ll slap some <hr> tags on it when I‘m back home from my holiday.
- gblargg 5mo agoLabel the myths rather than leaving them as plain statements.
- wang_li 5mo agoYes. It should look like: Myth: the moon is made of green cheese. Fact: the moon is made of yellow and green cheese.
- flyinprogrammer 5mo agoMost importantly -- Happy birthday!!!
- Sophira 5mo agoIf it helps, it used to look like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20140309183752/http://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom/ https://web.archive.org/web/20140309183752/http://www.2uo.de... Definitely a lot more readable! Something must have changed in the meantime. It looks like some links have gone too, like the one in the sentence "how does /dev/random know how much entropy there is available to give out?"
- rkagerer 5mo agoWay better. I hate it when updates, migrations or cosmic radiation break fidelity.
- syncsynchalt 5mo agoHappy birthday! This'll all wait for later, hope you're enjoying a nice mai tai on your holiday.
- cyanydeez 5mo agothe article is why you need to tell your LLM to 'make noistakes'
- jancsika 5mo ago> Deadpool is easier to follow. Oh wow. I want to know as much as you're willing to write about how Deadpool is hard to follow. (A shot-for-shot commentary track would be ideal.)
