remmargorp64··on I fixed the "hide" link for posts on Reddit and now all I see is fresh content
And here is a bonus CSS Snippet to plug into your RES config. You will never guess what it does:

.promotedlink { display: none !important; }

remmargorp64··on I fixed the "hide" link for posts on Reddit and now all I see is fresh content
I'm someone who likes to hide posts on Reddit after I see them. That way, I never have to worry about seeing the same stuff over and over when I load reddit later. With this technique, the ONLY thing I see are fresh posts.

One problem: The "hide" link on posts is tiny, and appears in a different location under each post (depending on how many comments that post has, etc).

After suffering with this annoyance for over 10 years, I finally fixed the issue by deploying a custom CSS snippet inside of Reddit Enhancement Suite.

And here is the CSS code snippet, in case anyone wants to use it for their own RES config:

    /* Only apply custom hide button styling on listing pages */
    .listing-page .entry {
       position: relative;
       padding-right: 100px;
    }
    
    .listing-page .top-matter {
       margin-right: 10px;
    }
    
    .listing-page .hide-button {
       position: absolute;
       transform: translateY(-50%);
       width: 100px;
       height: 94%;
       right: 4px;
       top: 48%;
       margin-bottom: 5px;
    }
    
    .listing-page .hide-button a {
       display: flex;
       align-items: center;
       justify-content: center;
       width: 100%;
       height: 100%;
       background: #1a1a1b;
       color: #909090;
       border-radius: 3px;
       text-decoration: none;
       font-size: 14px;
       font-weight: 500;
       border: 1px solid #343536;
       transition: all 0.2s ease;
    }
    
    .listing-page .hide-button a:hover {
       background: #272729;
       color: #d7dadc;
       border-color: #d7dadc;
    }

Where to put the CSS snippet:

RES settings console → Appearance → Stylesheet Loader (stylesheet) → Load Stylesheets (loadStylesheets)

Side note: I highly recommend combining this with the "Fix Hide Links" and "Hide Link Instant" feature toggles in Reddit Enhancement Suite. Clicking the "hide" link to a post should just instantly hide the post.

remmargorp64··on Web Scraping: Data for Everyone
octoparse extracts data from DOM elements. It can't OCR or visually process a dynamic page. The page has to have a structured and predictable HTML DOM.

Unless I'm missing something?

And serpapi is just for google searches?

remmargorp64··on Web Scraping: Data for Everyone
UIPath doesn't have a visual web scraping module or automation, from what I have seen. You might be able to build a custom one and execute it with their orchestration/automation tools, but I don't see that any support for that out of the box?
remmargorp64··on AI can diagnose type 2 diabetes in 10 seconds from your voice
Basically, if someone is obese, they probably have some amount of insulin resistance (leading to type 2 diabetes).

Fat affects vocal chords, and this can be detected in the vocal patterns.

This whole "AI Tool" could be replaced with a simple question:

"Are you fat?"

But people often aren't honest with themselves about this topic.

remmargorp64··on Langchain Is Pointless
What if you built a scoring system for re-usable action sequences that are stored in a database, and then have the LLM generate alternate solutions and grade them according to their performance?

An action sequence of steps could be graded according to whether it was successful, it’s speed, efficiency, cleverness, cost, etc.

You could even introduce human feedback into the process, and pay people for proposing successful and efficient action sequences.

All action sequences would be indexed and the AI agent would be able to query the database to find effective action sequences to chain together.

The more money you throw at generating, iterating, and evolving various action sequences stored in your database, the smarter and more effective your AI agent becomes.

remmargorp64··on I hate what video games have become
The cosmetics in Rocket League are entirely optional. The game is great and amazing to play even if you completely ignore all of the cosmetics.

The fact that the author is citing the freemium model of Rocket League as their reason for not playing it anymore make me lose all respect for their article.

My source is the fact that I have yet to hear anyone successfully articulate exactly what makes human "humor" work
remmargorp64··on Joke written by an AI: “A basic program walked into a bar ”
The AI doesn't "feel" anything. It is simply attempting to predict the most human-like word next in a sequence of words, based off of training on millions of lines of human dialogue.

They could train the model against all of the millions of comments on hacker news, for example, and it would eventually respond to things in a way that was virtually indiscernible from the average user here.

If it says it "forgot" something, it has no actual memory. That is merely a conversational pattern/response that it picked up from common conversations it has been trained on.

No, GPT-3 is a language model that simply attempts to predict the next series of words in a sequence, based off of training the model on millions of lines of human dialogue.
remmargorp64··on Joke written by an AI: “A basic program walked into a bar ”
Your brain is just a neural network that works like an algorithm.

Your brain "understanding" things is just an illusion.

I would be willing to bet $1000 that you can't articulate exactly what makes a joke "funny".

remmargorp64··on Cloudflare was down
I consider DNS and the way how top level domains are handled to be one of the weakest parts of our current Internet design.

We REALLY need a truly decentralized, distributed DNS system that is not owned by private entities.

remmargorp64··on Ideas That Changed My Life
Escaping your competition by blowing past them is a fundamentally different concept than finding problems to solve that don't already have solutions and existing competition though...
remmargorp64··on Don't use ENV variables for secret data (2017)
If I understand correctly, the primary advantage of using a secrets manager is that you can log all of the requests.

If your security is compromised, it's compromised, but having at least some kind of auditing can be hugely beneficial from a security standpoint.

remmargorp64··on Ideas That Changed My Life
If there is a demand for something, somebody somewhere has most likely already cobbled together a solution to meet their own need, and then turned around and resold that solution to other people.

It's extremely rare to find a widely spread problem with zero pre-existing solutions or competitors in that field.

remmargorp64··on MS will ban Forza players who add the confederate flag to their digital cars
These are good points.

It sounds like a big part of the problem is that we don't have a truly "public" internet, if the backbone of the internet is a bunch of private entities.

We need a truly decentralized internet that doesn't suck like tor currently does.

remmargorp64··on MS will ban Forza players who add the confederate flag to their digital cars
The online "public square" is the internet itself. If you want to say something in public, simply create a web site and publish it. My understanding is that anything you say on your own web site will be protected via the same laws as public speech.
remmargorp64··on MS will ban Forza players who add the confederate flag to their digital cars
Easy. Set up your own web site and put whatever you want to say on it.

If the hosting company takes you down, host it yourself. If ICANN takes it down, host it on Tor.

There are always ways to bypass corporate control of speech. You may have to completely forgo the benefits provided by the corporate web sites, but nothing is stopping you from making your own platform.
