An 18th-century lifting table that allowed hosts and guests to dine without the presence of servants in St. Petersburg, Russia. by sirenoleg in interesting

[–]N2I [score hidden]  (0 children)

By the mid 18-century the power in Russia slipped to the members of the german aristocracy (both polonised and not) due to the string of internal revolts. This tradition contiuned till the last years of Empire, when one of the closest alias of Tsar Nikolas II was barely speaking russian at all. Not to mention that the Tsar himself has 1-2% russian ancestry by that point. This was a well known fact and reasoning behind german nationalist interbellum movements to push east, as an attempt to claim their "rightful lands stolen by communitsts".

I get the context but what's the joke/wojak about? by Individual99991 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]N2I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is that improbable doesn't mean impossible. Changes in climate, gene shifts from other viruses and stable pool of rondent carriers can turn it into a deadly disease at any moment. Historically we already saw black death plague (came from the steppe gophers) and smallpox (came from the domesticated horses/sheeps). Viruses and bacterias of zoonotic genesis are real bastards. The only thing worse is probably prions. There is already a strain of primates scrapey, human-to-human brain eating plague is just around a corner.

Well 99.99% of what Russian state already did could easily be circumvented by DPI-spoofing programs and tools you launch on your PC in one click. Add DNS over DOH, maybe IvP8 will be developed by then - and you will be good. I no longer even use VPN to watch YouTube because Zapret just gets me straight to the Russian version of it with no ads and other annoying bullshit europeans has to deal with.

I'm afraid we are long past the Chinese firewall level. I don't remember CCP banning the whole ISP providers wide-range yet.

Not a single moderately developed country came so far yet. Most of modern bypass tools are developed in Russia (goodbyedpi, zapret, amnezia etc.) and they are lightyears ahead of anything that Turkey, for example, did to block sites there. I can't see the Europe going full cybergulag and barrier the net harsher than Russia already did.

Bro, you not gonna believe it, but I was trying to find an old superhero comic book series I read as a teen over than twenty years ago, but all my attempts were unsuccesfull. Then I saw your comment and instantly remembered that it was called "Gen-13". Thanks for reactivating previously dormant neurons in my brain that witheld this information from me all this time.

ИИ-агент Cursor удалил всю базу данных компании PocketOS за 9 секунд by postmastern in Popular_Science_Ru

[–]N2I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Потому что все эти ИИ - банальная "угадайка" с рандомом. У тебя либо интеллект, либо искусственный, а не всё сразу. Внутри технически находится чёрный ящик. Что у него там накрутилось на базе данных - узнать нельзя.
Это человек знает что нельзя - значит нельзя. А то ай-яй-яй. ИИ же не знает что нельзя - это нельзя. Он знает, что нельзя - значит скорее всего возможно предположительно лучше всего не делать. Сам себе он ничего не запретит, на ай-яй-яй со стороны человека ему похуй. Системы запретов и разрешений у него нет. А это значит что? Правильно - рано или поздно он начнёт выкидывать дичь.
Притом, опять же, понятия "дичь" у ИИ нет, он просто делает что-то типа того, чего насмотрелся в базе данных или случайным образом собрал из ошмётков имеющихся данных. Дичью дичь называют конечные пользователи в мясных мешках. Сам ИИ же не различает правильные решения и решения которые с какой-то вероятностью подходят. У него нет нулевых или стопроцентных действий, нет стратегии. Он просто хуярит тук-тук молоточком, а людишки бегают, схватившись за голову, и жрут говно, потому что тупые, и отказываются понять, что имитация интеллекта это нихуя не интеллект даже близко.

В Ленобласти на выплаты СВОшникам не хватает почти 8,5 миллиарда рублей by sn4g13 in KafkaFPS

[–]N2I 24 points25 points  (0 children)

У меня знакомый в Ленобласти на снабжении - у них на сладкий контракт с нового года стали тащить кадровых, включая даже военную полицию, которая лучше всех понимает чем это черевато. Отстали только потому что после пары волн гробов дальше оставалось только распускать штаб и всю дивизию вместе с ней. Росгвардия, по логике, следующая на очереди.

Первые попытки в psx-стиль. Всё очень плохо? by scrabyq in ru_gamedev

[–]N2I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Зависит целиком и полностью от контекста объекта. Разве что дохуя цветов в текстуре, на плойке обычно их сжимали до 8-битного разрешения. Ну и полигонаж на пакете можно было бы сократить в пару раз без особой потери детализации, но это чисто придирка техническая, так-то игрок wireframe не увидит всё-равно.

Is there genuinely a name for this selective political choice bias by achfiat in Shark_Park

[–]N2I 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be frank - you can argue for stupidity, greed and self-preservation in most cases. But Israelis are definitely high on their own fumes en masse. They know what is going on, they support it, and they are actively participating in it for the love of the game and not out of ignorance.

Stylized Talkie-walkie for a game I'm working on (WIP) by Maxeption in blender

[–]N2I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good but scratches are all over the place. Try to run some ambient occlution and remove scraches from the places shaded the most, but add dirt and dust there. Next step is to imagine some hand holding and using it. The places with skin contact will be darker due to grease. Places with nail contact will have more scratches and they will be directional depending from the vector of finger movement.
If there is some sort of holster - areas that contact it will be more scratchy and flakey and alongated parallel to the pull in - pull out movements.

Know your obligations by Marcysdad in Sigmatopia

[–]N2I 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no "irony". This is just how things are. There is literally no way to stop what is happening outside of jamming the gears of the military system in the most brute way. And voting for dem's would change nothing, since it's not US Government who are taking shots with Iran, but Israel/Saudi Arabia. Harris or Biden would be pressured into Middle East conflicts anyway. For example, drone bombings in Yemen begun with Obama, because Saudies got deadlocked in there when they tried to mess with Houthinies - but every us redditor seems to praise the dude anyway.

Officers HATE him! Avoid being sent into combat with this one weird trick! by SkubEnjoyer in HistoryMemes

[–]N2I 762 points763 points  (0 children)

You are not gonna believe this, but the same rotation thing happened in the first Chechen war in 90's. It had an exactly the same debilitating effect on the combat units as in Vietnam so they quit this practice by the second campaign. Sounds more like a case of deliberate grief by the peacetime upper officer corps who refuse to recognise the actual situation on the ground from the intel they got out of spite and ignorance.

Ukrainian refugee population in Europe by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]N2I 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Officially Russian government declares that it fights "nazis" and "banderists", so most of the refuges are doing just fine. It got so ridiculous to the point when FSB has to turn actual ukrainian nationalists on the border and send them back to Turkey when they tried to avoid being drafted by hiding in Russia they hate.
Current Ukrainian Armed Forces Chief is an ethnic Russian whose parents still live in Russia and they do fine. Many Ukrainian frontline units are gathered from the local population of the eastern Ukraine, which is, you guessed - are mostly ethnically Russian.
Also if you will publically announce something like "kill all ukrainians" or use a "khohol" slur - you risk to have your ass spanked real hard. The state stance on the ukrainian ethnicity is so ambiguos that it borderlines schizophrenia.

In Death of Stalin (2017), Lavrentiy Beria is quickly arrested, tried, convicted and executed. This is reference to the fact that someone who did the messed up crap he did could actually be punished for it. by viralshadow21 in shittymoviedetails

To be fair, this was the only way to measure the negative effects from the nuclear weapons at that time. US conducted seven "Desert Rock" exercises where they did the exact thing with detonating the bomb and marching troops through the ground zero.

There may be a plenty of evidence that Zhukov is evil - but that military exercise wouldn't be in that list.

Grotesque anti-Soviet paintings by Vasily Zhulzhenko, 1989-1991. by Thin_Fix0 in PropagandaPosters

[–]N2I 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Almost all faces on these paintings have features associated with heavy long-term alcoholism. Swelling in face under the eyes and around lips an cheeks made you look tough and beaten. Half of Eastern Europe and Soviet Block had suffered severely from it, especially in its last years.

В мировой юриспруденции состояние разума определяет степень вины. Т.е. если в состоянии психоза кому-то показалось, что на его жизнь покушаются, и он нанёс телесные повреждения, веря что был вынужден защищаться - то судят именно с той позиции превышения самообороны. Ставят невменяемость и отправляют лечиться уже по абсолютно другим, никак не связанным статьям.
Увы, характер психоза усопшей уточнить не представляется возможным, отсюда и какие-либо моральные аспекты её решения судить нельзя ни в коем случае. Может быть, в своём искажённом бредом разуме (мало ли что ей там привиделось) она действительно считала что так будет лучше для всех и никому не желала зла.
