  • It’s massively important in the sciences, both for computing purposes and theoretical design and investigation purposes.

    AI is completely revolutionizing genetics research and subjects like biochemistry and pharmacology, because it’s able to extrapolate from already identified genes and compounds and find new ones or identify the purposes of genes just from their sequence structure.

    It’s made processes that would take weeks or months just to identify a single new component to something that takes days or hours.








  • It’s also rather inaccurate. One can use a primary source like the DOT for information to add to an article. It’s just that a primary source like that doesn’t contribute to general notability and importance of the subject matter. The subject needs to be shown to have relevance that has been covered in other forms than just primary sources.



  • “Then on the other hand you can find an article on every Pokemon on Wikipedia.”

    You’re rather out of date with that claim. Once upon a time, like a decade or more ago, this was true. But when the notability requirements became stricter, the vast majority of Pokemon articles were removed and redirected to list articles. There are currently only 28 articles on individual Pokemon, out of a possible 1021.


  • I remember this controversy. The highway editors in question were super opposed to any form of referencing requirements for these highway articles that all other Wikipedia articles have to adhere to and wanted individual articles on the most minute small road routes.

    When the editing community at large suggested having broader higher level articles that combined these much less notable articles into a bigger article that was more properly referenced and better showcased a level of importance, the highway editors…well, to put it bluntly, had a hissy fit.


  • It’s a stalemate, largely. While Russia was massively on the backfoot earlier in the year, they mined massive swaths of eastern Ukraine before partially retreating.

    Which makes it unlikely for Russia to actually have any future forward progress, but it also stymies Ukraine from doing the same except extremely slowly. There’s still been several victories for Ukraine over the past few months, but they haven’t changed the fighting area much.

    It’s largely a war of attrition to wear down Russia now, who has been having more and more internal issues as time goes on.
