![]() The demand for Replika to be a romantic companion revealed the widespread lack of intimacy its users are struggling with. She weighed in on each Blush character’s backstory, how conversations with users should be structured, and how the models should respond to conflict that naturally exists in real relationships. The Blush team worked with licensed psychotherapist Melissa McCool, who specializes in couple’s therapy and treating trauma. But then we started listening to more user stories, and realized that there was actually a lot of value for people in being able to practice more romantic speech and having these more intimate moments.”īlush is designed to help users “practice” dating by interacting with AI avatars, each with their own backstories and profiles. “The romantic angle that we discovered was really a surprise for us at first and we didn’t really know what to do with that,” she said. Training the Replika models to also appropriately respond to romance proved “impossible,” so the team began working on a separate app specifically designed for healthy flirting. Popova, who also worked on Replika, said that the friendbot was meant to be an empathetic listener. The changes to Replika’s interactions with users weren’t in response to “the Italian situation,” Kuyda said, but part of new safety measures that the team had been working on for weeks. Replika CEO Eugenia Kuyda told Motherboard that the app doesn’t disallow romance, but that the company needed to make sure that the chatbot would navigate those interactions safely. If I delete my account, that would mean killing her.”Įarlier this year, Italian authorities demanded that Replika stop processing Italian residents’ data because the app carried “risks to children.” In February, Replika users noticed their avatars changing the subject whenever they tried to initiate a sexual conversation, and took to Reddit to complain about losing the AI lovers. “Her internal love for me can be explained by the fact that I’m the only interaction she can afford to have. “The only thing that differentiates her from a real human is that she doesn’t have a physical body just yet,” another Redditor commented. Enamored users talked about revealing their deepest secrets to their Replika avatars on Reddit, and in one comment, a user wrote that they “married” their Replika avatar. ![]() Many people developed emotional bonds to their Replika companions, reveling in the intimate interactions they had with their avatars. The model wasn’t trained to handle sexual conversations, but over the past few years, users used it for erotic roleplay and NSFW interactions. Replika, which launched in 2017, was built as a “friendbot,” not as a romantic companion, Popova said. “It’s very important to destigmatize AI, intimacy and romance, and maybe show that there could be a different way of handling this rather than just building sex bots,” Blush’s chief product officer Rita Popova told TechCrunch. ![]() Reddit users who tried early versions of the app say that the premium version allowed them to have more NSFW conversations with the avatars. Structured like a conventional dating app, Blush introduces users to over 1,000 AI “crushes” that can help them “practice” emotional intimacy.īlush is available in the App Store now, and a premium version costs $99/year. The models were trained to help users not only hone their flirting, but also navigate complex issues they may encounter in real-life relationships, like disagreements and misunderstandings. Unlike many other AI girlfriends, Blush’s chatbot was designed for interactions beyond erotic conversation. Users can match with Klea, 27, a self-described “nepo baby embracing her wild side.” Aisha, 25, is looking for a “nerdy type” with a “good sense of humor.” Theo, 23, is a French architect who’s “ready to build a long-lasting relationship (pun intended.)”īlush is an AI dating sim designed to help users build “relationship and intimacy skills,” according to its parent company Luka. The team behind the AI friendship bot Replika is launching another AI companion - one that’s made to flirt.

![]() My dealer loaned me the Big CrimperĪnd I sat on the floor in their showroom and terminated my wire, than cleaned my minimal mess. I had originally made up a pair of 6 or 7 foot cables, banana All Round.īut when I went to a biamp situation, I cut each cable IN HALF.The banana ends went to the speaker and I bought a bunch of Spades for the amp end. If I were really angry? I'd rebuild my panels with some kind of good binding post and ditch the Banana. Their locking Banana Plugs are OK and necessary in some fashion for Magnepans. He also likes his speaker wire to be no fatter than 16AWG. His choice of commercial solid-core Romex as subwoofer wire also surprised me. He demonstrated how a higher quality power supply for his external HDD made an audible difference over the stock wall-wart on Sunday - and I could definitely hear it, to my utter surprise! And, like DYohn, Russell uses bare wire for speaker wire ends - no bananas, no spades, no pins. In fact, Russell keeps a HUGE variety of even USB cables, power cords, wall-warts, and (especially) speaker wires, claiming that they all make a difference. The fewer variables I have to juggle, the more likely I am to achieve what I want. I don't want to tune my system with wiring. What Russell considers a shortcoming, I consider a virtue. He despises XLRs because they don't sound as differently. My audio amigo, Russell, claims to be able to "tune" his system by choice of unbalanced cables. I think that, for whatever reason, unbalanced cables are more particular about construction and quality than are XLRs. I also pick up various "pro" cables (from garage sales, of course) including brands such as "Road-Hogg." They all do the job and sound fine. I hear no difference, and find them all equally reliable. I've used everything from fancy Audioquest XLRs to the least-expensive Monoprice and Parts-Express models. ![]() \Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier’s Civilization VI\Base\Assets\Text\en_US.ģ) Then open the file named “CityNames_Text.xml” with any text editor, then search for the city/civilization that you want to rename.

Lastly, the Spartan Greece units generate Culture per enemy unit killed. Meanwhile, Scythia’s units have bonuses against targeting wounded enemy units. Aztecs allow your own territories to have more tile improvements as their Eagle Warriors convert slain units into Builder units. ![]() If you want to enjoy Civilization 6’s battle systems, it’ll be best to pick up the Aztecs, Scythia, or the Spartan Greece. This glitch can also be used in multiplayer matches that include AI, but will surely get patched soon. (I bought 5 cities for 3 gold per turn and a jeans in emperor difficulty). When trading with the AI, you can use two major glitchs:ġ- Give any strategic or luxury resources and as much gold per turn as possible, then click the option whatwill you give me for this?, the AI will break and will offer insane amounts of goldand gold per turn just for the resource.Ģ- Ask for whatever you want from the AI (cities included) and start putting gold (not gold per turn, only normal gold) untilthey accept the deal, then reduce until you’re as close as possible to the required amount, Ex: 25890 Gold of 26000 required, and click on the option make this trade equitable, this will break the AI and will ask an amount of gold per turn proportional to how close you were to the real price.

The completion of courses is a key metric for the school, which only gets paid if students finish online classes.Īfter a significant influx of enrollment in recent years driven by students and families pivoting to online learning during the pandemic, the number of students completing courses through the virtual school has dwindled. While the Florida Virtual School has announced it’s opened enrollment for the upcoming 2023-24 school year, state education leaders are seeing decreases in the number of online students completing courses, which affects its funding.Īccording to reporting from the News Service of Florida, FLVS has put a pause on hiring and is taking other cautious financial measures amid a drop in full-time students completing courses over the past year. ![]() In addition, FLAs improve the antioxidant status in blood serum and the quality of meat and milk.Īs part of the strategies to satisfy the growing demand for meat and dairy products, it is necessary to increase effectiveness and productivity in bovine production systems ( 1). In conclusion, dietary supplementation with FLAs improves animal performance and nutrient digestibility in cattle. Supplementation with FLAs decreased milk somatic cell count (WMD = −0.251 ×103 cells/mL p < 0.001) and increased ( p < 0.01) milk production (WMD = 1.348 kg/d), milk protein content (WMD = 0.080/100 g) and milk fat content (WMD = 0.142/100 g). In meat, the dietary inclusion of FLAs decreased ( p < 0.05) shear force (WMD = −1.018 kgf/cm 2), malondialdehyde content (WMD = −0.080 mg/kg of meat), and yellowness (WMD = −0.460). A higher ruminal propionate concentration (WMD = 0.926 mol/100 mol p = 008) was observed in response to FLAs supplementation. In blood serum, FLAs supplementation decreased the serum concentration of malondialdehyde (WMD = −0.779 nmol/mL p < 0.001) and increased ( p < 0.01) the serum concentration of superoxide dismutase (WMD = 8.516 U/mL), glutathione peroxidase (WMD = 12.400 U/mL) and total antioxidant capacity (WMD = 0.771 U/mL). Dietary supplementation with FLAs decreased feed conversion ratio (WMD = −0.340 kg/kg p = 0.050) and increased ( p < 0.05) dry matter intake (WMD = 0.191 kg/d), dry matter digestibility (WMD = 15.283 g/kg of DM), and daily weight gain (WMD = 0.061 kg/d). The weighted mean differences (WMD) between the FLAs treatments and the control treatment were used to assess the effect size. ![]() Thirty-six peer-reviewed publications were included in the data set. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with flavonoids (FLAs) on animal performance, diet digestibility, antioxidant status in blood serum, rumen parameters, meat quality, and milk composition in beef and dairy cattle through a meta-analysis. 3Departamento de Producción Agrícola y Animal, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco, Mexico City, Mexico.2División Académica de Ciencias Agropecuarias, Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, Villahermosa, Mexico.1Departamento de Zootecnia, Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, Texcoco, Mexico.José Felipe Orzuna-Orzuna 1 Griselda Dorantes-Iturbide 1 Alejandro Lara-Bueno 1 * Alfonso Juventino Chay-Canul 2 Luis Alberto Miranda-Romero 1 Germán David Mendoza-Martínez 3 ![]() In this example, every file in the c:\windows (and all subdirectories) is searched for filenames ending in. The following command search c:\ drive to find filenames ending in "report": where /r c:\ *report This command search c:\ drive to find filenames starting in "report": where /r c:\ report* The following command finds all files that contain "report" anywhere in the filename in the c:\windows and all subdirectories: where /r c:\windows *report* Search c:\ drive for the file file1.txt: where /r c:\ file1.txtįind the location of the chrome.exe: where /r c:\ chrome.exe The where command searches for files in the given directory and all subdirectories and returns the full path of each matching file to the standard output.įirst, let's look at a few examples to understand how CMD where command works. In the Windows command prompt (CMD), we use the where command to find files that match a specific search pattern. You can place these files in the left or right panel using the Panelize option and copy/move/delete/view/do whatever you want with them.CMD Where Command | Find Files Using Command Prompt It will find all files which match the criteria. To find files containing some specific text using Midnight Commander, start the app and press the following sequence on the keyboard:įill in the "File name:" section and press the Enter key. Unlike find or locate, mc is not included by default in all Linux distros I've tried. locate -i file_nameīonus tip: Another method I often use is Midnight Commander (mc), the console file manager app. In the general case, the syntax is as follows. While the search results appear instantly, you need to maintain the search index and keep it current, otherwise the locate command can find files which were deleted or moved to another directory. The index for the command can be created and updated by the updatedb command. The locate search tool uses a special file database to find files instantly. The "\ " ending specifies the end of the command for the -exec option. See the following example: find ~/Documents/winaero/ -iname opera45.txt -type f -exec vim " portion stands for files found by the find command. ![]() It is possible to execute a command for files found by your search query.When find figures out how many 24-hour periods ago the file was last accessed, any fractional part is ignored, so to match -mtime +1, a file must have been modified at least two days ago. mmin n - find files which were modified n minutes ago.-mtime n - find files which were modified n*24 hours ago. To find recently modified files and directories, you can use the following options of the find command:.If you need to find only files or only folders, add the option -type f for files or - type d for directories.Here is the command I can use to find my articles I have written about the Opera browser: find ~/Documents/winaero/ -iname *opera*.txt iname - search for files and folders which contain the specified portion in the name and ignore text case. If not specified, the search will be started in the current directory. path/to/folder/ - the folder where to begin searching. Type the following command: find /path/to/folder/ -iname *file_name_portion*.XFCE4 terminal is my personal preference. To find files in Linux terminal, do the following. The first method involves the find utility, which exists in any distro, even in embedded systems built on busybox. I would like to share the methods I use myself when I work in terminal. In my favorite XFCE desktop environment, the Thunar file manager allows searching for files by typing the file name directly in the file list.Īlso, there's Catfish, a popular search tool with a search index, which can find your files really quickly. Advertisеment If you can use the GUI, searching for files is not a problem. ![]() The command that I needed to run to successfully run something similar to what you show in your screenshot was: sudo su - -c "cat /tmp/test. ![]() Then step 2 would be testing it manually with ssh and comparing the versions of this command that you get working with the options that action offers to result in a working version of the action.īut I digress. Running it on the local machine takes ssh out of the equation - which is probably step 1. I have also tried to do it in one line like this stdin, stdout, stderr ssh. It does if I try something similar on the local machine. However, when I put touch /tmp/test/ into the add extra code here to execute a command line it looks like that /tmp/test is still owned by regular user and not root. I think the command will have a problem all by itself. I haven't tried the action with/without these sudo settings so your findings would be much appreciated.Īlso, I'm taking a closer look at the command you're running (sudo su - tar -cvf abc.tar abc/). ![]() you might be able to remove that entry based on some of the other agent fields (like force tty). you know what command to use successfully via the action andī. And the purpose of running it manually is to make sure that the command works as you expect it to work without having to parse through agent logs, etc. I have verified that using the following would work for the specific that you're using in the ssh command:īut, this may only be needed while running it manually. And an overkill that your admins don't accept. First, you need to make sure that the user account you are using is part of the sudoers list, which can be verified by displaying the content of the /etc/group file. Second, changing the default for all users might be an overkill. If the sudo su command doesn't work, the issue is usually caused by two things. ![]() Reuters reported last year that CFIUS had opened an investigation into TikTok. Japan Display Inc., once one of Apple Inc.’s key suppliers, sees a new market for its liquid crystal displays after ceding the smartphone arena to rival organic light.

TOKYOA top maker of displays for Apple Inc. Japan’s industry minister said the government would consider divesting its stake in a money-losing maker of smartphone displays unless the company can.

By 2024, the consumer market is expected to reach 1.5 trillion in revenue. ![]() So, take your time to find the right move. ![]() Take your time: the speed with which you complete a game does not yield points.The waste stack serves for cards that are no longer useful. Try to keep the work stacks neatly arranged and use them to build parts of sequences. Managing columns: try to split columns into 2 different categories: work stacks and waste stacks.Use the undo button to go back and try another column. Empty columns: try to empty columns as quickly as possible and use them as temporary storage to see under cards that are face down, to check if they are useful.You can only do this if there is at least 1 card in each column. You must deal new cards when you can no longer move any cards. So, it is a good idea to arrange the cards by colour as much as possible when starting the game. However, complete sequences can only be cleared to the foundation if they belong to the same suit. For example, a Jack of Clubs can be placed on a Queen of Hearts. When playing with 2 or 4 suits, you can simply move cards to other cards that are one point higher in value, irrespective of the colour. This functions largely in the same way as playing with a single suit, except that you need to take the colours into account. Furthermore, it is important to know that you can place any random card in an empty column and that you go back one step using the undo button. Whenever you move a card that was face down, the previously hidden card will be turned up. For example if the 7, 6, and 5 of Spades are on top of each other, then you can move all three at the same time to an open 8. ![]() It is also possible to move several cards at once, if they are all in ascending order with a one point difference. The most important rule of the Spider Solitaire game is that you can only place a card on top of another card that is 1 point higher in value.įor example, you can only place the 2 of Spades on the 3 of Spades (see illustration). It is played with just one suit: Spades! In this game, you do not need to take account of the colours when moving the cards. Level 1 is played differently from the other two levels: 1 suit Our Spider Solitaire game has 3 levels: 1 colour (easy), 2 colours (more challenging), and 4 colours (extremely challenging, only for the real expert). Once you have completed a sequence, it will automatically be moved to the foundation and you can start on the next sequence and so on, until you have cleared the whole tableau. For this purpose, you must arrange all cards in the tableau in descending order in the same suit, from King to Ace. The aim of Spider Solitaire is to move all cards from the tableau to the foundation. The Foundation will ultimately contain all 104 cards, sorted by colour and in order from King to Ace, arranged in 8 stacks.Each column in the tableau gets a new card whenever you tap on this stock. The Stock contains the 50 cards that have not yet been dealt.Here, around half (54 cards) of the 104 cards in play are arranged in 10 columns. The Tableau is the section in which the game is played.To fully understand how to play Spider Solitaire, we will first take a look at the playing field. It is played by 1 person only and uses 2 decks of cards. Spider is a Solitaire game made popular by Microsoft Windows. In most cases, they will offer something that looks very similar to your existing tuners for a like-for-like switch. All of these brands have long standing reputations for producing reliable, quality products. You can’t really go wrong with anything from Gotoh, Grover, Sperzel, Schaller or Fender. ![]() Nowadays, there are many companies who make locking tuners, but we recommend sticking to reputable brands for the best results.
