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.

Hey, 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.

If it helps, it used to look like this: 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?"

This'll all wait for later, hope you're enjoying a nice mai tai on your holiday.

Label the myths rather than leaving them as plain statements.

Yes. It should look like:

    Myth: the moon is made of green cheese.   
    Fact: the moon is made of yellow and green cheese.

I 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.

I pulled up a random version from 2014, and it's more readable: https://web.archive.org/web/20141023082929/https://www.2uo.d...

the article is why you need to tell your LLM to 'make noistakes'
