And here is a bonus CSS Snippet to plug into your RES config. You will never guess what it does:

.promotedlink { display: none !important; }

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.

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?

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?

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.

Does the docker container run on Windows though?

I still don't see any official documentation showing how to get Ollama running on Windows?

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.

People still play WoW?

Why don't you open source it and pay for hosting costs via donated funds instead of just shutting down completely? How much money does it really take to host a job web site anyways?

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

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.
