Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

The very unscientific sampling I did just now suggests that those complexity classes which Wikipedia covers, it covers better than the Zoo does anything. Of course, the Zoo has room for #P/lowpoly and LOGWANK and all the other classes that are attested in one paper apiece.
See so the wiki should link, or even cache/include the oages from wikipedia that are better easy to do in mediawiki.
Make me an admin Scott, I know mediawiki, and I can be trusted. Honest.
MediaWiki does not seem like the right tool for this job, if one were starting from scratch. It's... a lot of infrastructure for a small number of pages that will be changed very sporadically by a small number of people.
Hey, it looks like our very own corbin started the "complexity class" page at the nLab! Maybe we should flesh that out. (I started their page for the number 24 but am not very active at all.)
Yeah sadly my knowledge of recent research on complexity classes is almost non-existent and before that I was not the greatest at it in university.
