yaa yaa

lemme delete comm

Aibobot

I was also specifically thinking of...

> You must wait for a question to be closed for 2 days before you can vote for deletion. This restriction is removed for trusted users when a post scores -3 or lower. If you feel a post should be deleted despite having lots of votes or for being new, please flag it for community moderator attention.

from meta.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/moderator-tools

the main point I was trying to make though, was that deletions are not always by mod

Queenie Goldstein

hmm

I think you should update

Nordine Lotfi

but wait, you (as a user who made said post) can still see it in your account and view it even if it's deleted?

Queenie Goldstein

I still interpret that downvotes caused deletion

Nordine Lotfi

5:14 PM

at least that's what i always thought but i never tried

Queenie Goldstein

(from the answer)

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein isn't it only if it's under a certain threshold?

Queenie Goldstein

@Aibobot But I have read this and the previous link which says that they are delete-votes on downvoted posts

Aibobot

yup

@NordineLotfi if you can find it, sure :D

or if you have an answer to a deleted question

Nordine Lotfi

@Aibobot no i meant, say i post a question and i or someone else delete it, i can still see it on my account and view it?

Queenie Goldstein

5:16 PM

nvm...I am blind

Aibobot

@NordineLotfi "see it on your account" kiiiindaaaa

view it - if you have the link, always

Nordine Lotfi

@Aibobot that's good then :D

Queenie Goldstein

@Aibobot with 10k + rep

Aibobot

@QueenieGoldstein uh no

actually you don't need 10k rep

Queenie Goldstein

@NordineLotfi It's in the recently deleted section

then?

Aibobot

5:17 PM

you can always see your own deleted posts

no need 10k

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein yeah, that's what i meant :) (already knew but wanted to confirm)

Queenie Goldstein

@Aibobot not talking about self...you said that if given a link

Aibobot

@QueenieGoldstein in the context of

> @Aibobot no i meant, say i post a question and i or someone else delete it, i can still see it on my account and view it?

Queenie Goldstein

Oh got itt

Aibobot

or if you post an answer to a question and its deleted, if memory serves you can see the question and your answer. I can't remember about other answers

Nordine Lotfi

5:20 PM

@Aibobot what about comments? can you still see your own comments if a mod delete it? (like in your account or something)

Aibobot

@NordineLotfi no

Queenie Goldstein

@NordineLotfi no

only mods can see

Nordine Lotfi

I notice some mods on scifi.se or so like to delete comments...

oh

Queenie Goldstein

@NordineLotfi chem se as well

MathSE is kinda chilll with almost anything

Nordine Lotfi

my comment wasn't even offtopic, but i don't really want to complain about it too much since it was less than 20 words :/

Queenie Goldstein

5:21 PM

We entertain homework questions as well

Aibobot

@NordineLotfi all comments are transient

they're not meant to be kept on the long term

Queenie Goldstein

@NordineLotfi funny part was when

Aibobot

deletion is a normal part of the comment lifecycle

Queenie Goldstein

I asked someone about something on an answer

they replied to me

and the comment was deleted lol

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein yeah, that happened to me too

@Aibobot yeah, i guess it's understandable. Just wish it could be kept into user's history like deleted post

Queenie Goldstein

5:22 PM

@Aibobot And ressurection

Aibobot

not always a thing

Queenie Goldstein

Does anyone want to know how many views they have on each answer?

I thought of such a feature req

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein by resurrection, you mean when a post is closed and it's reopened?

Queenie Goldstein

@NordineLotfi deleted and undeleted

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein oh, gotcha

Queenie Goldstein

5:27 PM

$\circlearrowright$

Rubiksmoose

@QueenieGoldstein How do you separate answer views and question views? Or am I misunderstanding?

Queenie Goldstein

@Rubiksmoose views on indivisual posts (yes answer and question seperate)

Rubiksmoose

@QueenieGoldstein How could that be done?

Queenie Goldstein

Like Quora

Rubiksmoose

I don't use quora so that doesn't really help me understand lol

Queenie Goldstein

5:38 PM

$$\Huge {\backslash \left(\underbrace{\ddot\smile}\right)}/$$

@Rubiksmoose check quora.com below any answer, there will be number of upvotes and views

Rubiksmoose

huh. Well I don't really see the use for that feature here, even if SE is set up to measure that technically (which I don't think they are). Just seems like noise. What about it appeals to you?

Queenie Goldstein

@Rubiksmoose Same as what reputation appeals

Rubiksmoose

shrug.

Queenie Goldstein

!!/alive

SmokeDetector

@QueenieGoldstein Watching this endless list of new questions never gets boring

Queenie Goldstein

5:44 PM

!!/coffee Rubiksmoose

SmokeDetector

@QueenieGoldstein brews a cup of Cappuccino for @Rubiksmoose

Rubiksmoose

I think votes are more exciting and more useful than views personally. But others (clearly you do) might feel differently.

Queenie Goldstein

@Rubiksmoose Upto how many $n \times n$ cubes can you solve

Rubiksmoose

I might try to come up with a more robust value proposition than "people like looking at numbers" though

Queenie Goldstein

@Rubiksmoose Not exactly, but it would be fun

Rubiksmoose

5:50 PM

Don't forget that SE has to pay people to make these changes though. So fun isn't necessarily the only thing a successful FR should have going for it.

(which doesn't mean you can't try regardless) just having more will increase your chance of success.

Aibobot

yup

tbh - right now, a FR that has a chance of making it might still need to be Teams/SO centric

Queenie Goldstein

@Rubiksmoose tbh...this is the first time I am thinking about this.... :)....

Aibobot

and don't forget SE is ~~boring~~ mature software that generally works

also, questions and answers won't have different views unless you have pagination, due to how SE is designed :D

Queenie Goldstein

why does the chat look so primitive...

It's like Facebook in 1980's

except for a highly intelligent bot here

Rubiksmoose

@QueenieGoldstein Because no resources have been put towards it for a long time

Aibobot

6:02 PM

pretty much. I think the last big update was the mobile view?

Rubiksmoose

Honestly I don't think it looks terrible though.

But maybe I'm just used to it?

Aibobot

@Rubiksmoose I think there's a few problems - firstly, well, the usual problem with things being very legacy....

which makes updating tricky

the other is it would be nice/good to move chat to commonmark/use stacks

Nordine Lotfi

I don't mind chat here, i mean it "works"

Aibobot

@NordineLotfi a lot of SE "works"

until it dosen't

Nordine Lotfi

@Aibobot that's true

Safdar

6:05 PM

nvm..

Rubiksmoose

:)

Glad I could help

Aibobot

and tbh

Safdar

@Rubiksmoose It was just the presence ;D

Aibobot

SE sometimes frankly sucks at thinking/looking ahead

6

say, the app - it kinda was left to moulder for years after they lost their android dev (and a little before, but I don't blame him), but even with updates dropped, there's some key functionality people use (notifications) that has no replacement

Sonic the Masked Werehog

@Aibobot Thanks for the status-review here. My flag to request it is still pending, though (and it's been eight hours, for context for others).

Aibobot

6:13 PM

@SonictheMaskedWerehog uh. I'll get to it eventually

or someone else

OH

wait. I did the tag and didn't do the flag?

Sonic the Masked Werehog

Precisely

Aibobot

bleh

sorted

Sonic the Masked Werehog

@QueenieGoldstein My current setup consists of a desktop and a touchscreen laptop, so I see what you mean

Aibobot

I think I did it after work, and apparently I was, as they say in the business, zonked out.

Sonic the Masked Werehog

Thanks!

Queenie Goldstein

6:38 PM

sonic, touchscreen laptop $\equiv$ big smartphone.... so nearly no usage of typical laptop-scroll

but yeah.... things change...

Rubiksmoose

Does mathjax work in this chat even?

Aibobot

no

Rubiksmoose

Not without the applet anyways

Mithical

Nvidia has acquired Arm. What does this mean for the future of AI, edge computing, and the people who write software for these chips?

Ryan Donovan on September 21, 2020

In a move that has significant implications for the tech industry, U.S.-based graphics chip maker Nvidia announced last week that it would purchase U.K.-based Arm Holdings from Japanese investment firm Softbank for $40 billion. For anyone programming for AI, data processing, or embedded systems, this could mean your data intensive applications will soon be running…
