@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog Here's a site recommendation ('cuz I'm busy for a few hours), but we'll need a little more info ... What you prefer to photograph and lenses available, summer/winter for your location, is any of it at risk of expiring, and you'll need to research the look that each produces and explain which look you think you'd prefer for a particular situation. Etc.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@Rob Chat is a place for informal discussion

forest

Throw them all away and use a 2006 watch camera.

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog though, unless you know someone actually has experience with film or an interest, you're not going to get interesting discussion ._.

My own reaction is "Kodak does something other than <redacted> out their brand now?"

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

It's worth a try, plus I also posted the same on the Photography chat room

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog so.. who here does film photography?

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

12:23 AM

Well, the first time I posted about it here, someone did, and we had a nice conversation

Journeyman Geek

ah then its fine

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Second time, same thing

forest

12:56 AM

When I click view all review queues, the suggested edits section says 1.

But when I click on it, it says the queue is cleared.

It's not a caching problem because it happens even when I clear cache.

Journeyman Geek

@forest Its a caching issue of sorts

it means there's one pending edit, but you've reviewed it already

since the count on the queue isn't generated per person iirc

forest

Oh server-side caching.

That's silly.

Journeyman Geek

"Its too expensive to calculate it per view"

so the tradeoff is between a good amount of performance and people getting confused until someone explains it to them

forest

It's a shame SE can't find a massive community of competent DBAs who could assist with solving the performance problem for free... If only such a community existed!

Journeyman Geek

@forest actually their DBAs and SRE teams are pretty competent.

and just cause there's a lot of eyes and its free dosen't mean its very good.

forest

1:08 AM

I suppose they're competent compared to image board DBAs.

But it's always possible to find ways to improve performance.

Even if it means doing the processing client-side.

Journeyman Geek

and its probably being done/tried

and SE seems to quite literally be able to tell MS "this thing is not that good" and effect change

forest

Shame they're using MS SQL.

Journeyman Geek

(in some cases)

@forest its what Joel and Jeff knew

and well, it seems to do ok

and there's a few things SE does - like clustering which might be tricky to do elsewhere.

forest

Sure, just bug-ridden and plagued with performance issues.

But it does enough to keep the site online at least.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@forest It's a tag wiki edit. You don't have enough rep to review tag wiki edits.

Journeyman Geek

1:13 AM

hah

forest

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog And the site doesn't tell me this because...?

Physically-unsolvable erformance issues? :P

Journeyman Geek

@forest its expensive ;p

they could do it, but its a lot faster when they don't

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Q: Please don't show the red dot indicator for review items I can't do

This is not a duplicate of Please don't red alert me for queues I've handled, because this reports different things from that question. That question is specifically about the case where the user has run out of daily reviews; this question reports different problems outlined in the below bullets....

Support this FR if you want it

forest

So give the user some JSON with information about the edit.

And have the client choose to display it.

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog Oh so that's what causes that bug!

Though I do still see the red flag issue even on a site I have 40k rep on...

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

It does the same global calculation for the indicator, and doesn't take into account user-specific conditions for review

forest

1:16 AM

With so much fat, slow JS, you'd think a little extra code to parse JSON client-side would do the trick. After all, that wouldn't put any extra stress on the DB.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

The actual pending edit is this one, which is a test edit; I don't think there's a need to keep it pending anymore since the corresponding report has already been marked as under review by an employee.

Rob

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog OK, that explains it, NM.

forest

1:33 AM

You know, a lot of spam I never end up flagging because I don't want to register to another site on SE. It would be a lot easier if that weren't the case.

For sites with a totally different domain, I understand why there'd be limitations.

But when the site is just another subdomain under stackexchange.com?

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Some people just don't want accounts on other sites.

forest

No need to create an entire new account.

Just give very basic privileges like the ability to flag as spam.

I.e. things which don't require you register a user and profile.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Flagging requires 15 rep

forest

Well yeah and flagging also requires an account. My point is that it shouldn't. :P

If I already have an account on the network, I shouldn't have to sign up to a new one just to flag a single spam post I see.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Only a small proportion of users actively need to go to other sites just to flag spam

forest

1:40 AM

No one needs to. My point is that I have skipped on flagging potentially dozens of spam content simply because it's on a site I haven't yet bound my account to.

Journeyman Geek

2:09 AM

@forest yanno what would be a great way to break the flagging system?

flooding it with flags

the need to register (and getting banned for bad flags) make that harder

forest

Naturally I don't think unregistered guests should be able to flag.

But once you already have a network account, it shouldn't require anything more.

Journeyman Geek

and don't forget, if you have an account on one site with over 200 rep you can already flag

and a 'new account' is 2 clicks

forest

Yeah but I don't like having to keep track of each and every new account.

It screws up the metrics page.

I mean I guess I could create a new account then delete it.

Journeyman Geek

hm,would be messy

or have a sock for that.

getting 200 rep on some site is trivial

forest

Why would it be messy? Does account deletion not nullify the account totally?

Journeyman Geek

2:13 AM

ya but you're generating an account per flag

which eventually is going to get someone annoyed

forest

Why would anyone care?

Journeyman Geek

you'd be surprised

No Distraction Wizard

We're thinking of how to suspend that user if the flag is abused

forest

Well naturally abusing the flags is not what I had in mind. :P

Journeyman Geek

People do all sorts of stuff that annoys people that seems trivial or mechanically fine

No Distraction Wizard

2:14 AM

Naturally, I always think of the worst case when implementing a feature...

Journeyman Geek

always a good idea

forest

@JourneymanGeek If I create an account (well, "join a community") to raise a flag, what's the downside to later deleting that account? Isn't it usually automated?

Journeyman Geek

@forest doing so for each time you want to do it...

seems excessive

forest

To whom?

Is a mod forced to watch a video of Rick Astley for each time an account was deleted?

Journeyman Geek

Well, personally I feel folks ought to be engaged in a site if they want to flag, smokey aside (and I've probably thrown a fair bit of hopefully constructive critique their way)

forest

2:18 AM

I was thinking more about spam where there's no use in providing critique.

Journeyman Geek

and "why would anyone care" is a poor justification for anything

@forest well, we have a pretty robust way of handling it...

forest

That's true.

I've always been impressed at how quickly SE deals with spam.

I even told a spammer once not to bother with non-directed spam on SE because they'd be wasting their time badly. :P

user495830

2:58 AM

@JourneymanGeek Excessive how? I thought deletion was simply that. Deletion. And association bonus definitely makes your life easier in this case.

Journeyman Geek

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm actually that's one possible thing

No Distraction Wizard

Whether you want to blame the system or not, it is hard to audit deleted users. There's even a troll abusing the account deletion feature by posting a troll answer then delete the account immediately.

Journeyman Geek

^^^^^

that too

forest

That sounds like a SE problem.

user495830

@forest When you mean quickly, how quickly? 2 min., 5 min., 10 min. How many minutes does it take for a spam post to go bye-bye?

Journeyman Geek

3:01 AM

(sorry, distracted, Trying to troubleshoot a printer that's shooting blanks)

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm 30 seconds

forest

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm For questions, it often takes mere seconds.

Journeyman Geek

not even kidding

forest

For answers, it's rare to last more than 10 minutes.

Journeyman Geek

even without smokey - on fairly active sites, I've seen sub 20 seconds to first flag

forest

Though sometimes people remove the spam links via an edit and leave the answers, then they can last for years and spam flags get declined...

user495830

3:03 AM

@forest @JourneymanGeek That’s speedy. Give me one reason why.

Journeyman Geek

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm cause people care

forest

Because hundreds of people instantly see an obviously spammy title.

Journeyman Geek

also SE is designed in some ways to reward that kind of behavior

forest

Plus auto-flags make it less difficult to get rid of the posts.

In combination with the rather hardworking folks who do the... charcoal thing.

user495830

@forest Since when does spam have to include spam titles? There is something called subtlety, you know.

forest

3:06 AM

Most spammers are not very subtle.

After all, they want you to see their spam.

user495830

@forest The best way, in my opinion, is to trick you into looking at it.

forest

Sure but the best spammers also do targeted campaigns.

They avoid SE specifically because it's not an effective medium.

(Disclaimer: I was briefly a spammer for what's termed "blackhat SEO" before I quit due to not wanting to support the capitalist machine, so I've talked with a lot of those folk)

user495830

@forest You know, if there was a lot of spam (making Smokey go cuckoo), it would take a long time to get it all out.

forest

They're pretty much exclusively forum, blog comment, and email spammers.

Journeyman Geek

I'm not surprised by either.

@forest we get the worst spammers.

forest

3:09 AM

@JourneymanGeek You get dumb spammers.

Journeyman Geek

and not ones for german meat products, which would be the wurst spammers.

@forest we do

and I'm convinced they literally use 3-4 standard toolkits

forest

yup

They do fuzzy matching for posting so it works on many forums.

Pretty much always clones of XRumer.

No Distraction Wizard

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm there's already SpamRam built-in on SE system that already prevents most spam being posted though

Journeyman Geek

(there's enough commonality - and the fact that they use white person name generators written by someone who clearly has no names that a actual white person would use)

No Distraction Wizard

But, yeah, we're currently helpless against mass username spam

forest

3:11 AM

@JourneymanGeek They use prebuilt collections of names and phrases.

user495830

Please elaborate on “blackhat SEO” (reminds me of blackhat hacker), capitalist machine, German meat products, standard toolkits, XRumer, SpamRam, mass username spam, etc.

No Distraction Wizard

voted to close as Too Broad

forest

Blackhat SEO is using stuff like spam and meta tags on spun (auto-generated) blogs to increase the ranking of certain search terms for marketing purpose.

Capitalist machine is just the term I used because I hate capitalism.

XRumer is a popular spam tool (botmasterlabs.net/xrumer).

user495830

Please elaborate on the term “capitalism”.

forest

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm Basically Might Makes Right, but applied to industry.

user495830

3:19 AM

Well, SmokeDetector makes things a little faster in terms of spam.

forest

Fun fact: XRumer popularized spam seeds (which SE knows all too well about).

(Not something I knew before, I had to look that up lol)

Even ReCaptcha is pretty useless against these bots.

People can buy dirt cheap captcha solving services.

(Which are actually pretty useful even if you're not a spammer)

The captcha gets sent to a remote server and the server uses OCR and NNs to try to solve it on its own, and if it's not confident then it'll send it to humans to solve.

Honestly the best solution is a vigilant community.

Which SE actually does really well.

user495830

@forest Hmm... including the captcha that has squares that make up one whole picture and tell you to find the traffic lights, fire hydrants, etc.?

forest

yep

Though those are actually not that hard for computers to solve.

You know the real reason Google uses those?

They're training their own machine learning algorithm that they sell to the US military.

Yes, that's actually what it is. The Intercept wrote an article about it.

theintercept.com/2018/03/06/…

user495830

I was going to say, “for collecting Captcha data?”.

forest

vegard.net/google-helps-pentagon-train-killer-drones

So yeah, it's evil of them, and not even all that effective.

The real reason it has any effectiveness is that it's slow.

Even a legitimate human often takes a lot of time to solve it.

Journeyman Geek

3:26 AM

if you wanted to be super sneaky

something solving a captcha too fast would be a givaway

forest

Yep

There are a lot of heuristics it uses to detect dumb bots.

But smart spammers will either use a solver service, or proxies.

Vip72 is a common proxy service, or they just use small router botnets.

I prefer router botnets just because the rDNS is less suspicious.

Whereas I've seen a few corporate networks for Vip72 that say "proxy" in them.

user495830

@forest The articles you have given me were dated approx. 1 yr. ago!

forest

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm So?

user495830

@forest Think of how much reCaptcha data they have collected now!

forest

Yeah, that's why they're moving towards grainy pictures.

Which look suspiciously like it's trying to emulate high-altitude aerial footage.

user495830

3:29 AM

@forest Grainy? As in blurry?

forest

As in grainy, like with noise. Fuzzy, not blurry.

No Distraction Wizard

I'm skeptical, but I'm lazy to ask about it on Skeptics

forest

@NoDistractionWizard About the aerial footage, or the whole thing?

Because Google has admitted to this.

There was even an open letter from dozens of employees fighting against it.

The whole "looks like it's trying to emulate aerial footage" is just a guess of mine though, but it certainly seems like that.

user495830

@forest Ah, even more effective power!!!

forest

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm More like low-light conditions.

@NoDistractionWizard There's a reason I hate humanity. Most people probably consider Ed Gein or Roy Norris to be evil serial killers, but I consider the same for anyone who willingly uses Google reCaptcha. You support mass-murder and genocide.

user495830

3:32 AM

I meant, the harder identification + the abundant reCaptcha data => even better AI!

user495830

@forest Remember, it isn’t just for military. It may as well as be used in everyday life.

forest

You think Google's ML research is public? :P

user495830

No, but it may help after some time.

forest

I don't know about you, but I personally feel that genocide is not acceptable, even if it gives us a slightly more accurate Google Street View.

user495830

Haha. Funny. I am not amused at all.

forest

3:37 AM

Wasn't meant to be a joke.

user495830

You forgot the last sentence.

forest

No I didn't.

user495830

Anyways...

user495830

Remember, self-driving cars.

forest

The sad thing is that the original reCaptcha was designed to help digitize old public domain books for the public use in libraries. Now it's used for murder.

user495830

3:40 AM

Please elaborate.

Journeyman Geek

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm google used to have a project to scan ... everything they could

forest

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm You remember that captchas with one word that looked warped, and one that looked like it came from a scanned book?

Journeyman Geek

the idea was to make real books searchable.

user495830

?

forest

You had to enter two words. The warped one was generated by a computer, the scanned one came from a book (and actually was a no-op, so you didn't have to correctly solve it, just put in any text, but most people copied it faithfully).

Journeyman Geek

3:41 AM

and recaptcha literally was initially human managed ocr

@forest i figured they took a bunch of values then used... statistics.

forest

For the scanned one? It just collected what you wrote.

Journeyman Geek

and heh

forest

4chan used to have a campaign (which failed) to enter in millions of captchas, replacing the word "the" with the N word in the hopes that public domain books' digitized version would occasionally replace "the" with racial slurs. For the lulz.

It didn't work though due to the sheer amount of correct answers.

Journeyman Geek

@forest 4chan isn't really that many people though.

forest

You'd be surprised.

They've gotten huge things to change before, including the TIME person of the year.

MARBLECAKE ALSO THE GAME etc

And their counter-raids on Tumblr were legendary.

Those threads were hilarious.

user495830

3:44 AM

4chan sounds like something I won’t like.

forest

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm 4chan has a lot of different boards, all are different.

Some boards like /pol/ are obscenely racist. Others like /a/ are quite pleasant.

vice.com/en_au/article/d7eddj/…

^ This is one of the most amazing things they pulled off, recently too.

> This is when their man on the ground came into play. The channers were able to enlist a local troll to drive around the area and repeatedly honk his horn. I would like you, my fair reader, to imagine a man driving around a small Tennessee town in, what I assume to be, a 1994 Toyota Tercel just blaring the horn repeatedly while rocking a, again I assume, soundtrack from a Metal Gear Solid game, all in an attempt to fuck with Shia Lebeouf—this is a thing that actually happened this week.

And more. It was remarkable. I watched some of those live streams. :D

They even used star charts and airplane trails to geolocate a single flag.

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm But in general, it's /pol/ and /b/ that people hate.

user495830

I stopped reading as soon as I saw despised words.

forest

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm Shame. It's a remarkable story.

> The trolls using only the live stream of the flag, started, I shit you not, studying the flight patterns and contrails of the airplanes passing overhead. They mapped out what they saw and took their findings to flight radars to try and pinpoint a general area. Using the knowledge gleaned from the flight patterns they found that the location was near Greeneville, Tennessee.

And then used echolocation with a car horn to finally locate it on the live stream.

All to replace a flag in a random field with a hat. :D

Journeyman Geek

erm. Man, don't these people have (other) hobbies?

user495830

I am terribly confused. Anyways...

forest

3:49 AM

@JourneymanGeek Who /pol/? Yeah they also screw with Ben Garrison.

Journeyman Geek

anyone who would work out where a flag is based on airplane flight patterns, or car ecolocation

forest

But it's pretty much limited to screwing with people to see their reaction, and making racist jokes. It's genuinely hard to tell the difference between actual national socialists and trolls on that board. Just remember... not all 4chan is like that.

@JourneymanGeek Oh it was a group of people, not just one.

4chan can be amazingly coordinated when they try.

Journeyman Geek

I do mean collectively

forest

Other times... they can't even count to 10 without C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER.

(Note: I am an /a/non, not a /pol/ock)

Which makes me sad when everyone thinks 4chan = /b/ and /pol/.

Those are literally the two most despised boards. Even other 4channers hate them.

archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/115783569/#q115789191 lol this is when they found the airplane.

Journeyman Geek

@JourneymanGeek Depends on whether sleeping in was a task to be done too ;)

Journeyman Geek

though with the printer

apparently the step I'm at is purging the ink tubes, then waiting 12 hours

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek To be clear here, is the complaint about the fact that I expect answers from employees, or that I expressed that fact in a dismissive way?

Jenayah

11:40 AM

@ShadowWizard ah, I guess I thought the blank excerpt thing was a bug

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog To be clear? I'm not going to say yes. I'm going to say both are true

Shadow Wizard

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog you can't demand answers from employees only, for that we have the contact form. By posting on MSE, you also "agree" to get answers from anyone, even if not employee of SE.

Jenayah

Well actually, isn't it a bug? It shouldn't take my dummy edit into account, but still have the current excerpt?

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Do non-employees have access to the code?

Shadow Wizard

@Jenayah hmm.... yeah. Good point.

making another coffee

Journeyman Geek

11:42 AM

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog the thing is though, you're expecting them to specifically look at your posts

dismissing the collective knowledge of the network.

Shadow Wizard

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog not really. So?

Journeyman Geek

And there's stuff some old timers here know employees might not

or as mods, we might know something about some mechanics and not others

Jenayah

@ShadowWizard ahahah

Journeyman Geek

or even random stuff we happen to pick up off twitter

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

That's true. Employees can't know everything, but if they don't know something, they can access the code and check.

Journeyman Geek

11:44 AM

Assuming they have the time, inclination, and access

Shadow Wizard

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog they can still do it even if someone else already posted.

@Jenayah actually, the blank box bug was reported and fixed long ago:

4

Q: Unable to improve tag wiki excerpts (I get a blank box)

I was reviewing suggested edits on Stack Overflow and saw two tag wiki excerpts that I wanted to improve: source-separation, convex-hull. When I clicked “Improve”, I reached the usual improve UI. However the box that should have contained the text of the suggestion was blank. At the time I click...

bug status-completed suggested-edits tag-wiki-excerpt improve

So it somehow floated back. :/

Jenayah

Ghost bugs... Eventually them come back to haunt you

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek Nowhere did I say that there's anything wrong with people making their best efforts to figure out what is happening in specific cases.

Shadow Wizard

@ShadowWizard ... did I miss something?

Journeyman Geek

11:50 AM

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog that's implied though

as is the possibility that if someone found the problem/bug interesting they would dig.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Having an internal preference for staff answers, or expressing that it would be nice if staff answered, is not implying that community answers are bad.

Shadow Wizard

@AdamLear marked 18 (!) questions on MSE as status-review in the last two days. So it means SE now appointed a full time developer to work on bugs posted on MSE? Pretty sure that was never the case.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard and/or their new PM is grabbing that
