This site is going to be expensive when a web crawler hits it. A honey pot that burns tokens.

They’re caching the pages which have already been generated. You could go back and delete all references to pages which don’t exist yet. Basically turn it into a static website.

Love it! It feels very Borges! Feature request: also be able to click on the Talk page to see the controversies. I don't always want to trust the article itself as the final word. Edit: Oh look, there's an article about the YC! https://halupedia.com/y-combinator

Just added comment section :)

Cool!

I'm curious about the design. Maybe you have a "how I did it" post coming soon, or something. One question: Did you find away to get some convergence, where a newly generated page will tend to cite pages (or stubs, at least) that already exist in the universe? Seems hard to do it with generated text, but not impossible.

This kind of Absurdist humour reminds me of the Marx Brothers or the Tip y Coll Spaniards. And the Sokal case with the Humanities branches, for sure. BTW: https://halupedia.com/postmodernism This is golden. https://halupedia.com/paradox Best entry, hands down. This is a love letter to Prattchett.

It also feels a bit like Sam Kriss, if you know him.

Some of his writing: https://samkriss.substack.com/p/five-prophets

His biography is quite interesting: https://halupedia.com/sam-kriss

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What would you think of a person who said that they are already convinced that an opposing view could not be correct without even hearing the arguments for it?

For the record, > Funny, but you could argue this is actively harmful to the web. Was not followed by an actual argument that it is harmful to the web. The comment was an assertion, not an argument. So we are left in the inconvenient position of rejecting hypothetical arguments, and others defending the philosophical possibility that a valid argument does exist.

Without the argument being explicit then there can be no retort to it, so closing your mind before hearing it demonstrates that the argument itself is irrelevant. One could thus conclude that the existence of a valid argument is not itself a condition for my question.

It seems like the site's algorithm is that every newly-generate page includes multiple links to not-yet-existing pages. So it doesn't matter that existing pages are cached, all the "leaf node" pages link to multiple uncached new pages.
