Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors โ€œWith fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.โ€

Wikipedia is seeing a significant decline in human traffic because more people are getting the information thatโ€™s on Wikipedia via generative AI chatbots that were trained on its articles and search engines that summarize them without actually clicking to the site

hi, no you/they havenโ€™t! Iโ€™ve thought about reverting to the non-anglicized / French pronunciation for many years and decided to take the leap.

When you have wild tracks in the same area where domestic dogs are walking, I think it's cool to compare the meandering and playful gaits of domestic dogs vs the sharper direct register gaits of wild animals. Here are a couple more fox tracks (I think) from this snowy time in Maine.

They often display โ€œdirect register,โ€ meaning they place their back paw exactly where they stepped with their front paw. Other animals do this too, like coyotes, bobcats, and domestic cats. This is a tight, efficient gait.

The other day, I had an encounter with a fox in a field. I want to share something I find special about foxes: their tracks.
