Does the SQL query lag MS?

no

@quartata It's technically an answer...

I don't think it was intended as you think

they have quite some rep on other sites

no actually I think it was intended exactly how I think it

@WELZ good. hopefully the 100-rep penalty will teach them a lesson.

frankly I'm appalled that a 3ker would think that's OK at all, even if you think it's just an NAA

Extremely powerful and robust machine learning algorithms can be written in under 15 lines of readable code with nothing more than a raw turing complete language such as Python, C, or R or any other. Downloading tensorflow with its Brobdingnagian code base includes just about everything under the sun, 25 lines of which is the machine learning algorithm you need to do the job.

It's incredible how much useless code is in any software bigger than a few hundred kilobytes.

What does "bad keyword" mean?

4:36 AM

Morning all!

!!/errorlogs

@PrittBalagopal it's related to blacklisted but some of these patterns are conditional and hard-coded in findspam.py; so for example here, the <a href="...">link text</a> contained both "google" and "phone" and this specific rule triggers on that combination ... so not on either in isolation, but the combination

Oh I see

So basically, bad keywords may be related to spam?

hmmm, not a lot of mods here either right now

We can destroy the account, particularly if they've used it multiple times.

4:48 AM

given that there are so many blacklisted accounts still around, that sounds about right

Occasionally, we will ping mods on other sites who have posts or accounts from them about it.

There's no guidance or urgency to do so, though.

@Catija but as advice to SOCVR, is this desired as a rule? on SO?

If the spam has been flag deleted, destroying the account doesn't really add much.

my thinking is that they are visible in the Metasmoke tool already (because Joshua !!/report:ed them) so no further action is really necessary for an account which posted three spam posts and nothing else

@Magisch apparently the truth about how to permanently lose weight is quite a bit more complex than that, and not a problem science has completely solved

@tripleee I think I've read something about how your base metabolic level will go down when you lose a bunch of weight, making the yoyo effect stronger

Personally this has not been my experience though

@Mithrandir 0% of those who tried death reported satisfaction

I feel like the problem most people have is that they diet too hard and stop at some point, which causes them to relapse. What you really need is a permanent shift in what you eat and how much you eat

anyway, I don't think we need more snake oil here

we're probably the #1 destination on SE if you want to know about supplements with dubious health claims
