Первый тест XRumer 23 StrongAI: прирост эффективности в 20 раз!
Уважаемые пользователи!
http://www.botmasterru.com/product109120/
Напоминаем, что в прошлую пятницу, 21-го июля, мы провели первый долгожданный тест сравнения эффективности XRumer 23 StrongAI и текущего XRumer 19.0.18. Разница в эффективности оказалась 20-тикратной ??

Для теста был сделан множественный проход в режиме "Только регистрация", а в тестовый день — проход в режиме "От ранее зарегистрированного" по небольшой базе в 543.000 ссылок. Исходная база, проекты, кусок отчёта и прочие детали представлены ниже. Проекты практически идентичные, с одной лишь разницей — в XRumer 23 также использовались макросы-вставки для текста GPT. Текст проектов — обычный провокационный кликбейт (дейтинг-тематика).

Как и в прошлые тесты, для сравнения были использованы два пустых сайта-однодневки:

XRumer 19: продвигался сайт xrumer.ru

XRumer 23: продвигался сайт xrumer.xyz



Статистика по итогам проходов регистрации:

XRumer 19: "Активации" — 30.000, "Профили" - 7.700

XRumer 23: "Активации" — 96.000, "Профили" - 61.000

This photographer documented life as a young person during the pandemic
psrms pw
New Year’s Eve 2020 was peculiar for many of us. As Coronavirus continued to sweep the globe, usual end-of-year reflections were replaced by a build-up of collective grief. Around the world, Covid-19 socializing restrictions put obstacles in the way of celebrations.

For German photographer Valentin Goppel, the uniqueness of the situation was underscored by his companions: Instead of his spending the night with his flatmates as he would do usually, he was instead alone with his girlfriend’s younger brother and two of his friends, making the initial images for what would become Goppel’s first photobook, “Zwischen den Jahren.”

“For weeks before, her brother had tried to persuade his parents to let him spend New Year’s Eve with his friends, which (as a young person) I found really understandable, but his parents didn’t,” the photographer recalled in an interview with CNN. “In the end, (they relented when) he agreed to spend four days (quarantining) in his room afterwards. It was a strange thing, this commitment to meeting your friends just for a few hours — then spending days alone — but to him it was worth it.”

Real-life ‘superheroes’ fly in the world’s first jet suit race
pasaremos
From futuristic architecture to pioneering infrastructure, Dubai is no stranger to weird, wonderful, and downright wacky innovation. But on Wednesday, the “City of Superlatives” went full sci-fi when eight pilots, suited and booted like Marvel’s “Iron Man,” took to the skies.

They were not fighting supervillains or alien warlords, though. Against a backdrop of skyscrapers and super yachts, the airborne athletes competed in the inaugural Jet Suit Race Series, an event organized by the Dubai Sports Council and Gravity Industries, the manufacturers of the jet suit.

“Unlike most racing, you’re racing in three dimensions,” says Richard Browning, chief test pilot for UK-based Gravity Industries, which he founded in 2017. “There’s pilots above and below, and all over the place, so it’s a really interesting experience.”

The eight pilots raced around a one-kilometer (0.6-mile) course, maneuvering between 12 giant inflatable obstacles placed in the water. Four heats created a leaderboard that culminated in a final round, with each race only lasting around 90 seconds.

“We had people getting disqualified, we had people losing it, we had somebody go in the water — we had just utter chaos, in a great way,” says Browning.

He hopes that the event will inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers to dream big: “Most technology is ludicrous and impossible until it isn’t.”

Кто пострадавший?
МВД фальсифицирует факты
Сенсационные заявления о моральном ущербе на 1 млрд рублей каждое со стороны двух лиц, признанных следствием ГСУ ГУ МВД России по Санкт-Петербургу и Ленинградской области потерпевшими по так называемому уголовному делу компаний «Лайф-из-Гуд», «Гермес» и кооператива «Бест Вей», прозвучавшие из уст государственного обвинителя Филиппа Голубева в начавшемся рассмотрении этого уголовного дела по существу в Приморском районном суде Санкт-Петербурга, оглашаются не впервые. На стадии предварительного расследования они упоминались следственной группой – и вызывали недоумение и у адвокатов, и у юридического сообщества в целом, хотя учитывались судами.

Повторение этих заявлений прокурором Голубевым вызвало смех в суде – в том числе и самого суда под председательством зампреда Приморского районного суда по уголовным делам Екатерины Богдановой. И возмущение у петербургского и российского юридических сообществ.
Что смешного?
Дело в том, что даже в случае причинения смерти судами удовлетворяется моральный ущерб максимум в несколько миллионов рублей. В данном случае речь идет о моральном ущербе от несостоявшейся покупки квартир. Моральный ущерб от «имущественных» событий удовлетворяется судами в размерах десятков тысяч рублей.

Тем более что материальный ущерб не только этим двум, но и еще 219 лицам, признанным потерпевшими, составляет по обвинительному заключению 280 млн рублей.
Компенсация провала
Идея компенсировать отсутствие обещанного руководству МВД многомиллиардного материального ущерба десяткам тысяч пострадавших заявлениями о миллиардах морального ущерба, первой возникла у следственной группы питерского главка МВД во главе с полковником юстиции Александром Винокуровым и подполковником юстиции Екатериной Сапетовой.

Все, что следствию удалось с большим трудом «накопать» за два с половиной года работы, не считая периода ОРД, – 280 млн ущерба и 221 лицо, признанное следствием потерпевшим, причем значительная часть – с нарушением УПК.

Для того чтобы компенсировать отсутствие обещанного руководству МВД результата, и появились эти заявления о моральном ущербе.
Опасный прецедент
К сожалению, «ноу-хау» Винокурова и Сапетовой пока поддерживается прокурорами.

Прокуратура Санкт-Петербурга хочет создать прецедент удовлетворения морального ущерба на гигантскую сумму по имущественным претензиям? Увы, ранее суды не морщась учитывали эти заявления и в том числе на их основании продлевали арест счетов кооператива, так что ничего не исключено.

О чем заявления?

По версии двух лиц, написавших (с одинаковыми орфографическими ошибками) заявления о моральном ущербе, их обманули в иностранной компании «Гермес», в которой они, по их словам (документальных подтверждений обязательств внесенных сумм и иных обязательств нет, решений гражданского суда в их пользу также нет), через посредников несколько лет назад разместили деньги в рост под 30% годовых пассивного дохода на счетах в иностранной компании «Гермес» и рассчитывали через несколько лет приобрести квартиры. По их словам, их обманули некие сотрудники компании «Лайф-из-Гуд», которые помогали с размещением: обещанный доход не получен.
Однако и у этих граждан, и у всех остальных, признанных потерпевшими, отсутствует полная цепочка документов, доказывающих их имущественные претензии: документы о перечислении денег посредникам, договор с компанией «Гермес», документы о зачислении денег на счет в «Гермесе». Как минимум одного звена, а в большинстве случаев не менее двух, у признанных следствием потерпевшими не хватает.

И нет ни одного выигранного в гражданском суде дела об обоснованности претензий на неполучение 30-процентного дохода. То есть речь идет о голословных утверждениях, в которые уголовному суду предлагается просто поверить.

На кого заявлено?

В заявлениях о моральном ущербе имеется в виду «Гермес», а также упомянуты некие неназванные сотрудники компании «Лайф-из-Гуд», а не кооператив «Бест Вей».

Кооператив не размещал денег в рост – в кооперативе заявители морального ущерба давно бы накопили на первоначальный взнос, отстояли очередь и приобрели бы квартиры с переплатой всего в 1% годовых.

Если у морально пострадавших претензии к конкретным сотрудникам «Лайф-из-Гуд» – посредникам при размещении средств – пусть и выясняют с ними отношения.

Все остальные лица, признанные потерпевшими, – клиенты «Гермеса». По данным следствия, у «Гермеса» в России были многие десятки тысяч клиентов – но с претензиями обратился почему-то только 221 человек. Очевидно, другие не считают, что их деньги украли? На чем тогда основаны утверждения обвинительного заключения о том, что «Гермес» – финансовая пирамида?
Как моральное становится материальным
Заявления о моральном ущербе выполнили для следствия и еще одну функцию – они стали одним из оснований ареста счетов кооператива.

Без заявлений о моральном ущербе не было бы оснований для ареста почти 4 млрд на счетах кооператива «Бест Вей», ведь имущественный ущерб всего 280 млн рублей, к тому же активы частных лиц в рамках уголовного дела арестованы более чем на 8 млрд рублей.

Ответить по (якобы существующим) обязательствам иностранной компании «Гермес» кооператив «Бест Вей», как юридическое лицо, по версии следствия, должен из-за того, что он – потребительский кооператив, некоммерческая организация! – якобы входил с «Гермесом» в один холдинг.
Ответить за другого
Кооператив был постановлением руководителя следственной группы полковника Винокурова признан гражданским ответчиком по уголовному делу – признан заведомо незаконно, так как в уголовном деле, как выяснилось, нет ни одного искового заявления в отношении кооператива.

Безналичные средства на счетах кооператива, также незаконно, были признаны следствием вещественными доказательствами – это прямо противоречит постановлению Конституционного суда, запрещающего признавать вещдоками все, что не является собственно вещью, на которой могут быть оставлены следы преступления.
Кто пострадал на самом деле?
Уже два года почти 20 тыс. пайщиков кооператива не могут приобрести квартиры из-за постоянно продлеваемого ареста счетов и незаконного признания кооператива постановлением руководителя следственной группы полковника юстиции Александра Винокурова гражданским ответчиком по уголовному делу, касающемуся других юридических и физических лиц.

Государство не получает своевременно налоги – так как налоговые платежи блокируются.

Более двух десятков сотрудников кооператива почти два года не получают заработную плату.

Единственный, кто выиграл от ареста счетов, – банки, которые стригут купоны с оборота денег, надежно заблокированных дружественными правоохранительными органами.
Ущерб пайщикам – материальный и моральный
Сотни пайщиков, которые подобрали квартиры, не смогли их приобрести – и квартиры «уплыли», а на аналогичные придется собирать дополнительные средства, так как они подорожали.

Тысячи пайщиков, которые внесли первоначальный взнос на приобретение квартир, чья очередь на покупку квартиры за два года должна была подойти, из-за блокирования деятельности кооператива не смогли приступить к выбору и приобретению квартир.

Более 10 тыс. пайщиков не могут вернуть собственные обесценивающиеся паевые средства с арестованных счетов кооператива, так как следственная группа прямо отказывала им в законном праве вернуть свои паевые средства.
Законные претензии на десятки миллиардов
Пайщики «Бест Вей» предъявят – и уже предъявляют – многомиллионные претензии, как материальные, так и моральные:
к лицам, признанным потерпевшими;
к следственной группе, ее руководителям Винокурову и Сапетовой, а также ГСУ питерского главка МВД в целом;
к Прокуратуре Санкт-Петербурга и прокуратуре Приморского района Санкт-Петербурга, в частности к прокурорам, которые согласовали обвинительное заключение откровенно незаконного, проведенного с грубейшими нарушениями УПК расследования;
к государственному обвинителю Филиппу Голубеву, не постеснявшемуся в суде заявить о претензиях некоторых потерпевших на возмещение морального ущерба по 1 млрд рублей на каждого.
Претензии не выдуманные, а основанные на законе – их общая сумма составит десятки миллиардов рублей. При этом речь пойдет о настоящем, доказанном ущербе, который будет подтверждаться гражданскими судами – потому что грубейшие нарушения прав граждан налицо.

Вал исков от пайщиков кооператива станет крупнейшим событием в российской судебной практике по количеству гражданских дел и совокупному объему ущерба – заказчикам «наезда» на кооператив пора готовиться!

Остается надеяться, что суд под председательством Екатерины Богдановой при рассмотрении уголовного дела по существу разберется в этих фантазиях следствия и прокуратуры и восстановит справедливость.

Man finds ‘England’s largest’ gold nugget, despite metal detector failing
Кракен тор

A treasure hunter struggling with faulty equipment has unearthed a gold nugget believed to be the largest ever found in England.

Richard Brock discovered the gold nugget, weighing 64.8 grams (2.3 ounces), in the country’s Shropshire Hills near the border with Wales, auction house Mullock Jones said Thursday.

The nugget is around the size of a UK 50 pence coin.

The find, nicknamed Hiro’s Nugget, has an estimated worth of between ?30,000 ($38,000) and ?40,000 ($50,700), according to Shropshire-based Mullock Jones, which is handling the sale.

However, it almost seemed that luck had eluded Brock, whose equipment almost failed him on the day of the dig.

When Brock arrived at the site in Shropshire in May, he discovered that his metal detector was faulty, according to a press release from Mullock Jones.

As his hopes dimmed, he turned to a piece of older equipment. At first he found only a coin of little value, but within five minutes he made the shocking discovery, the auction house said.

New resort at protected natural wonder stirs fierce debate on conservation in the Philippines
kraken войти
Nestled among the lush rolling terrain of the Philippines’ famed Chocolate Hills, the Captain’s Peak Garden and Resort offered travelers scenery that few hotels could compete with.

But now the resort has been temporarily shuttered after public outcry over what one legislator has called a “blatant abuse of our natural resources,” with the national senate debating whether to investigate how it came to be built in the protected beauty spot.

And it has become a lightning rod for anger as the country once again grapples with how to balance a booming tourism industry with safeguarding its ecological wonders.

Near the middle of the central island province, the Chocolate Hills are more than 1,700 conical limestone peaks that stretch as far as the eye can see, the grass-covered karst mounds turning brown in the dry season to resemble pieces of chocolate.

Only one similar hill configuration – in Indonesia’s Java – is known of in the world, according to UNESCO, which has placed the Chocolate Hills on its tentative list for world heritage status.

The hills were declared a protected area by then Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos in 1997, meaning authorities are bound by law “to protect and maintain its natural beauty and to provide restraining mechanisms for inappropriate exploitation.”

But images of the new resort among the hills have stirred anger and ignited debate over whether the Southeast Asian country is doing enough to safeguard the environment.

The backlash began earlier this month when a local travel influencer posted a promotional video on social media for the Captain’s Peak Garden and Resort.

Real Madrid files complaint against referee, saying he ‘deliberately omitted’ insults aimed at Vinicius Jr. from match report
scryptoboss рабочее зеркало

Real Madrid says it has filed a complaint against the referee who took charge of the team’s recent 4-2 La Liga win at Osasuna for “the negligent drafting” of his report about the match following the abuse aimed at star player Vinicius Jr. by supporters.

The Spanish giant said that referee Juan Martinez Munuera “deliberately omitted the insults and humiliating shouts repeatedly directed towards our player … despite being warned insistently by our players at the same time they were occurring.”

In one video aired on Spanish TV and shared on social media, chants of “die Vinicius, die” can clearly be heard in the stadium, leading Real captain Dani Carvajal to turn to the referee and point to his ear in an apparent attempt to make Martinez Munuera aware of the abuse.
Real says it has filed the complaint to the Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

“Additionally, Real Madrid has also filed a complaint with this federative body in relation to the aforementioned insults and humiliating chants, and has forwarded them to the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in the Sports, so that those fans who uttered them are identified and punished,” the club added.

CNN has reached out to RFEF, La Liga, Spain’s High Council of Sport (CSD) and both the federal prosecutor and local prosecutor in Pamplona, where Osasuna’s El Sadar stadium is based, for comment.

Nike inflicts huge home defeat on Adidas by nabbing German soccer team kit deal
cryptoboss онлайн казино
Things have gone from bad to worse for Adidas. After a costly break-up with US rapper Ye that helped push the German sportswear giant into a rare loss last year, it’s now suffered a bruising defeat on home turf.

The German Football Association (DFB) announced Thursday that the company’s arch rival Nike (NKE) will be the official kit supplier for national soccer teams from 2027 until 2?034. The decision brings to an abrupt end more than seven decades of the sport’s partnership with Adidas that spanned four World Cup wins for the men’s team.

In a statement, DFB President Bernd Neuendorf said German football owed “a great deal” to the partnership with Adidas and that the association was “fully committed” to achieving further joint success through the end of 2026, when their contract expires.
The DFB said Nike had made “by far the best financial offer” and impressed with its vision for developing women’s football, and amateur and grassroots sport in Germany. It did not say how much the new deal was worth.

An Adidas spokesperson said in a statement that “we were informed by the DFB yesterday that the federation will have a new supplier from 2027 onwards.”

Germany will be the host for the Euro 2024 men’s championship, taking place this June and July. Adidas will supply the kits for seven national teams, including the German, Italian and Spanish teams.

In just under three years’ time, however, fans will see Nike’s trademark ticks, not the three stripes of Adidas, on the shirts of Germany’s national teams. German economy minister Robert Habeck reportedly told local news agency DPA Friday that he could “hardly imagine” the prospect.

The partnership between Adidas and German football was a “piece of German identity,” he was reported as saying. “I would have liked a bit more local patriotism.”

Adidas was founded in 1949 in Herzogenaurach, a small town outside Nuremberg in south-east Germany, the same year it registered its now-iconic three-stripe logo.

DFB’s announcement comes at a bad time for Adidas, which last week posted a net loss of €58 million ($63 million) in its core business for 2023, citing a slowdown in sales of its Yeezy-branded clothing and sneakers, and a large tax burden.

A high-altitude tunnel is latest flashpoint in India-China border tensions
обменять btc

A tunnel constructed high in the mountains of northeastern India has become the latest flashpoint in a simmering border dispute between New Delhi and Beijing.

The Sela Tunnel, inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this month, has been hailed in India as a feat of engineering – blasted through the Himalayas at an elevation of some 13,000 feet (3,900 meters) – and a boon for the military, enabling faster, “all-weather” access to a tense de facto border with China.

That’s caught the attention of Beijing, whose long-running dispute with New Delhi over their contested 2,100-mile (3,379-kilometer) border has seen the two nuclear-armed powers clash in recent years.

That includes in 2020 when hand-to-hand fighting between the two sides resulted in the deaths of at least 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers in Aksai Chin-Ladakh in the western stretches of the border.

And, decades ago, the dispute led to war.

China also claims the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, where the tunnel was constructed, as its own, even as the area has long functioned as Indian territory.

Chinese officials in recent days have slammed the tunnel project and Modi’s visit to the state, accusing New Delhi of taking steps to undermine peace along the border.

“We require the Indian side to cease any action that may complicate the boundary question … the Chinese military remains highly vigilant and will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” a Defense Ministry spokesperson said last week, using the Chinese name “Zangnan” or South Tibet to refer to Arunachal Pradesh.

Things have gone from bad to worse for Adidas. After a costly break-up with US rapper Ye that helped push the German sportswear giant into a rare loss last year, it’s now suffered a bruising defeat on home turf.

The German Football Association (DFB) announced Thursday that the company’s arch rival Nike (NKE) will be the official kit supplier for national soccer teams from 2027 until 2?034. The decision brings to an abrupt end more than seven decades of the sport’s partnership with Adidas that spanned four World Cup wins for the men’s team.

In a statement, DFB President Bernd Neuendorf said German football owed “a great deal” to the partnership with Adidas and that the association was “fully committed” to achieving further joint success through the end of 2026, when their contract expires.
The DFB said Nike had made “by far the best financial offer” and impressed with its vision for developing women’s football, and amateur and grassroots sport in Germany. It did not say how much the new deal was worth.

An Adidas spokesperson said in a statement that “we were informed by the DFB yesterday that the federation will have a new supplier from 2027 onwards.”

Germany will be the host for the Euro 2024 men’s championship, taking place this June and July. Adidas will supply the kits for seven national teams, including the German, Italian and Spanish teams.

In just under three years’ time, however, fans will see Nike’s trademark ticks, not the three stripes of Adidas, on the shirts of Germany’s national teams. German economy minister Robert Habeck reportedly told local news agency DPA Friday that he could “hardly imagine” the prospect.

The partnership between Adidas and German football was a “piece of German identity,” he was reported as saying. “I would have liked a bit more local patriotism.”

Adidas was founded in 1949 in Herzogenaurach, a small town outside Nuremberg in south-east Germany, the same year it registered its now-iconic three-stripe logo.

DFB’s announcement comes at a bad time for Adidas, which last week posted a net loss of €58 million ($63 million) in its core business for 2023, citing a slowdown in sales of its Yeezy-branded clothing and sneakers, and a large tax burden.

Emily Ratajkowski’s latest flex? Divorce rings
fixedfloat com

Diamonds are forever – especially for Emily Ratajkowski, who has chosen to turn her engagement ring into something entirely new following her split from her film producer husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard.

With the help of Alison Chemla, creative director of jewelry brand Alison Lou, Ratajkowski worked to remake her old engagement ring, which featured a pear-shaped and a princess-cut diamond, into two separate rings.
“The rings represent my own personal evolution,” the model told Vogue. “I don’t think a woman should be stripped of her diamonds just because she’s losing a man.”

Now, the pear-shaped diamond sits on Ratajkowski’s pinkie finger, while the princess cut has been flanked by more trapezoid stones and turned into a new sparkler.

Ratajkowski went on to explain that she got the idea after reading Stephanie Danler’s story “The Unravelers” in The Paris Review.
