Q: More Network Sites to See Advertising Test

We’ve been exploring the concept of using open auction to manage advertising on some Stack Exchange sites. Under this model, advertisers (who have been organized into categories based on their products) “bid” for an advertising spot. There is a floor price - a minimum price for the spot, and all ...

Hi @MartinSleziak! I was wondering if you know a tool which can convert math screenshots to latex code.. I see that there are a lot of questions on MSE on this but which one is currently in use and in a working condition ? I am trying other than Mathpix

Q: Update the Help Center article on searching to mention the in:saves operator in place of the inbookmarks:mine operator

The Help Center article titled "How do I search?" needs to be updated to mention the in:saves operator in place of the deprecated inbookmarks:mine operator. After "bookmarks" changed to "saves" (cf. Bookmarks have evolved into Saves on Meta SE), the Help Center article on searching was updated ev...

I haven't checked any other Help Center articles. Just mentioning this here as a post-it note (and also because I think it might be of interest to you, @MartinSleziak). Since we let our room on the Meta SE chatserver freeze, I thought this was the next best option to post such a message that doesn't quite fit into any of the other rooms.

The Help Center article "How do I search?" on Meta SE has been updated after the bookmarks -> saves change to mention the in:saves operator in place of the inbookmarks:mine operator. But the update is not made on the corresponding article on Mathematics SE.

So there are at least three bots used to keep rooms from freezing: Generic Bot, sloshy and Toasty.

Q: An example of a generative AI tool: Creating better question titles

With all the conversation around generative AI and our early explorations into it, I thought it might be useful to post some screenshots that show examples of the type of early experiments that we’re considering as a technological set of solutions to address long-standing challenges we’ve had on ...

@MartinSleziak These are probably legacy pages that used jsMath, a predecessor to MathJax. While broken as links, that MO url gave me enough information to find the current PlanetMath equivalent, a Lebesgue measurable but non-Borel set.

Indeed, when I did the same experiment now, MathJax isn't rendered.

Sorry if this is not the best place to ask you, @MartinSleziak. But I am quite curious how many regular user-created chats (ignoring chats mods have initiated, and/or discussion of questions, transferred from long threads, have been frozen/and/or deleted, since 2010? If that query is too unmanageable, feel free to narrow the span of time to the last five years. I think it's more than safe to the list might be too long to share, other than via a query link. All my regards!

Q: Could ChatGPT be a viable way to answer people's questions?

A few days ago, OpenAI, the people that brought you GPT-3 and DALL-E, launched a new product called ChatGPT. It can answer questions so accurately that it's legitimately scary. Even the most obscure topics known to man are answered swiftly by this bot. It's not 100% accurate, but it's shockingly ...

Do you have any browser add-ons, does it happen across browsers, across computers? Which browser, which operating system? What was the phase of the moon when you first noticed the symptoms? Were you recently stung by Africanized honey bees? Most of these questions should be answered already when submitting a bug report. — Asaf Karagila ♦ Apr 2 at 7:27

Hi, Martin. I'm thinking about a chatroom for fixing broken links, maybe fed by a bot that finds Comments about them. I propose Boulevard of Broken Links (with apologies to the writers of the Green Day song of similar name).

It was quite possibly a false positive.

This will help us figure out the number of poor (low quality) questions being answered and then we can check if such a phenomenon decreased (or not as a result of EoQS)

And more specifically I need the questions which were closed for lack of context. Does the sede allow filtering via "closed reason"

Can we get the number of questions which were closed (include deleted ones too) and had some answers?

@MartinSleziak Interesting. Also the underlying information about Jobs going away was interesting. I never engaged much on the developer jobs side of things with SO, but I did the developer survey for many years, etc.

Based on that one experience the Wayback machine struggles to display the archived page and then it goes blank after about a second! But yes, that was pretty obviously what was originally referenced.

Thanks for the notification Martin. I've reproduced the error but I don't know an easy way to fix it. It doesn't matter much anyway, so it's probably easiest to let it be.

That's true. There's nothing wrong with fixing things manually, it just takes more patience.

Thank you, Martin, for keeping track and pinging me. I think I would prefer to let my rooms freeze automatically. I shall resurrect them later (with the help of a mod) if need be. I anticipate that the nature of my participation on SE might change over the course of the next few months, and these rooms will no longer be useful for me in their current form.

@Math so you consider it a duty for the room owner to answer every single message that is posted in that room?

There are options to make the room private, but they're only accessible to moderators, and are reserved for moderation purposes (i.e. not for "Hey moderator, I'd like a private room with my buddy here, please make this room secret.)

@MartinSleziak you could also directly get a HNQ feed for just the tags you're interested in: https://lackadaisical-appeal.glitch.me/hnq/+?filter=(tags contains 'law') (I used law here because that currently (as in today) returns rows). If needed you can replace + with the site you want to focus on.
