“Russia and Uganda have signed a joint statement on the non-placement of weapons in space first.”

I decided to Google it and found that since 2004, the Russian delegation has officially signed statements with the following countries:

Uganda, Comoros, Sierra Leone, Venezuela, Guatemala, Bolivia, Ecuador, Cambodia, Turkmenistan, Laos, Togolese Republic, Burundi, Cuba, Nicaragua, Myanmar, Belarus, Syria, Congo, Argentina, Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Suriname, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka

I don’t know how to comment on this πŸ™‚ Well, if in Syria, Congo, and Pakistan, everything is good with weapons, then I fear not so much with their placement in space. The Comoros and something like Suriname definitely read about space and know that it exists. In Bolivia, they probably grow something for space flights too

I bet the next big things will be:

1) search by image content online. Like, you search for diesel, and it specifically shows you diesel, not because the image had a caption. Add the word “diagram” – and you get diesel engine diagrams.

2) the same, but for videos.

3) networks of specialized neural networks, integrated with each other.

4) neural networks, whose training is managed by other neural networks. Basically, a piece of news is “indexed” in a hypothetical chatgpt when another neural network has analyzed it, performed a fact-check, linked it with a cloud of related news, and formed its own “presentation” and “conclusion” about it, so that subsequent searches take these emphases into account.

5) a new cycle of discussions about the influence on elections, societal mood, and mass decision-making due to slight adjustments in the weights in AI.

Unfortunately, Youtube does not allow us to group subscriptions so that they can be opened and visited in a random order to watch long-published videos.

I have collected all the good channels and will return to this post using the search phrase #painting #youtube #rauf, to find the link below and watch what I missed.

The channels are sorted starting with the ones I am most familiar with and consider the best, and then in descending order to the less familiar or completely unknown ones, but which are recommended. In the group of Russian-speaking channels, the principle is simpler – here all 100% of the channels are good, sorted from the most useful by my subjective criteria of usefulness.

I recommend it, a very good toy for dogs. It’s called the Wobble Wag Giggle Dog Ball. It costs $13 for the size shown in the video, which is considered large, $11 for a smaller version, and $8 for the smallest one. There are no batteries required. The design is ingeniously simple. There are three tubes at different angles. Inside each is a movable squeaker. It squeaks when air passes through it. When there’s room for the squeakers to move within the tube due to gravity or centrifugal force, it moves, allowing air to pass through, creating sound. The pressure isn’t instant due to air resistance, so the sound extends over time. The squeakers in each tube are slightly different, so it produces a cool sound.

We bought the largest ball for Yuki, which supposedly cannot fit in his mouth. But Yuki has figured out how to cleverly grab it. And now he carries it from floor to floor.

A very interesting map. You can open any place in the world and see which languages are spoken in specific spots. Try opening India for instance πŸ˜‰ In the USA, it’s also quite complicated. Not only with Pennsylvania German above the Amish and Russian at Brighton Beach, but also a plethora of local languages of indigenous tribes and such.
