Does Smokey have a feed?

Ashish Ahuja

@wizzwizz4 you mean from where it gets all the q's once they are active?

wizzwizz4

@AshishAhuja No. I mean a MS feed.

Ashish Ahuja

uh, so you mean like a API for MS?

wizzwizz4

I couldn't find one, so I presume no, but I found a JSON feed-like thing.

Ashish Ahuja

oh, so you're talking about xml feeds?

wizzwizz4

1:56 PM

Yes. RSS, specifically.

Ashish Ahuja

ah. Unfortunately, there's nothing like that

why do you need one?

M.A.R.

@SmokeDetector F

wizzwizz4

Auto-chatbot.

Ashish Ahuja

@wizzwizz4 "auto", what do you mean by that? I'm not getting you..

wizzwizz4

Instead of having a user posting stuff, a feed user (negative number) could.

Ashish Ahuja

1:58 PM

why would you want that?

wizzwizz4

@AshishAhuja There's already integration.

Plus, I could have my machine poll for feeds and make a loud noise when there's spam without having to write a custom script.

But if it's not there, I'll use the things that are (i.e. JSON).

Ashish Ahuja

@wizzwizz4 there's already a script for that..

hold on, lemme get a link

heh, I can't find a link. It belonged to zaq IIRC.. lemme search his repos

M.A.R.

Hey Wizz. Welcome to Charcoal!

wizzwizz4

@M.A.R. Thank you.

I've been here before, but only lurking.

Everyone else is faster at flagging! :-)

Ashish Ahuja

@wizzwizz4 here ya go: github.com/normalhuman/Userscripts/blob/master/…

wizzwizz4

2:04 PM

@AshishAhuja That... is a much better way of doing it than I was doing.

It doesn't make any extra requests to MS.

Ashish Ahuja

ah great. Do note that the person who wrote the script is no longer contributing to Charcoal so if there's a bug or something you'll have to fix it yourself.

@wizzwizz4 I don't know JS at all, but it's also possible that the script does not make any calls to the API because that time the API wasn't implemented IIRC

you'll have to ask @ang or @art or any other JS guru to ask which is the better way I guess..

wizzwizz4

@AshishAhuja The script just listens on the chat window and makes a loud noise whenever Smokey posts.

Ashish Ahuja

yeah, that seems like a simple and nice way

wizzwizz4

The API gives more flexibility, but requires work.

J F

@wizzwizz4 There’s also coal, which is a desktop app that notifies you when Smokey posts a report.

Idea: What about a filter for questions where none of the tags are present in the body or title?

Rand al'Thor

@JF Sometimes there's no need to mention a tag in the body or title if it's already mentioned in the tags.

Ferrybig

@JF That would fail at the most upvoted question of stackoverflow because of the tag branch-predictionhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-it-faster‌-to-process-a-sorted-array-than-an-unsorted-array

Rand al'Thor

Also, many tags have particular names which might be unlikely to appear in the body of relevant questions - for instance, the #1 most popular tag on each of Science Fiction & Fantasy and Movies & TV.

ArtOfCode

@JF looks like someone needs to request authorization for the app before I can authorise third party access - might be a case of you just trying to add it and I'll see what pops up in the settings

wizzwizz4

5:35 PM

@Glorfindel Shouldn't we check to see if existing posts are marked as spam first?

Glorfindel

That'd be quite hard as this is not a simple regex. I think the method was devised to catch new types of spam on major spam targets quicker. Nowadays, we have different spam targets than before when the method was created.

wizzwizz4

@Glorfindel Couldn't one just spin up a second instance and run it without flagging privileges, then read the logs?

Glorfindel

I think it's quite hard to have a separate Smokey instance re-evaluate old posts.

That means I trust my own judgements in this case :)

Undo

5:53 PM

If we really wanted to, metasmoke could feed Smokey posts to evaluate and we'd just throw them in the API queue. That'd be a bunch of work in tracking stuff, though.

you could, but it'll try to ask the SE API for questions from 'localhost' which isn't gonna work

@Undo :-) So, if I were to set up a subset of the SE API...

It'd be easier to special-case

@SmokeDetector "API quota rolled over"... Have you switched to a new user?

quartata

No.

DavidPostill

@wizzwizz4 No. That happens every so often to ensure Smokey does not run out of API calls (there is a limit).

quartata

It's a per day thing.

wizzwizz4

Ok. How does one make the quota roll over? It seems like something that could easily be abused, and that removes the point of API throttling.

Unless it's 24hrs since the last rollover... in which case it's SE's side.

DavidPostill

6:26 PM

Jul 23 '16 at 11:09, by ArtOfCode

@AshishAhujaツ we get a quota of 10k requests per day to the API

Jul 23 '16 at 11:09, by ArtOfCode

at some point every 24 hours, that quota resets

It has been rolling over sometime after 6 PM (UTC) for the last few days

Magisch

@wizzwizz4 We dont control that

The quota just rolls over on its own once a day

wizzwizz4

@Magisch Ok. That makes more sense now.

I thought that it was something Smokey did to ensure that it doesn't run out of API calls, which confused me.

Thomas Ward

we do restart Smokey intentionally every so often as part of the code to make sure the socket can 'stay open'

Magisch

Basicly we have 10.000 requests a day

and SE decides when the new day starts for that purpose

@wizzwizz4 We bundle requests to do that

As you may know, SE gets way more then 10k posts a day

@ArtOfCode I actually think that the "Allowing the spam to get posted and then removing it seconds later" is the reason we get such dumb and uncreative spammers

The "proof of work" that spammers show to their employers when conducting professional spam campaigns may well just be a screenshot / timestamp of the thing being posted and visible to the world. So as long as they get their proof of work, they may just not care to make it stick more then 3 views or 20 seconds.

@Glorfindel Would it be OK if I moved the reason weight to the same place as the feedbacks and autoflagging info?

Glorfindel

IDK, I just put it in the (for me) logical place.

What's wrong with the current place?

J F

The fact that it’s complicated to determine if you’ve added it or not — the thing I’ve set up for the feedbacks & autoflagging info automatically handles that.

Plus it supports updates.

Glorfindel

It's only complicated because the lookbehind regex didn't compile.

And the value doesn't change, so it doesn't need to be updated.

I don't really mind if it's moved, though. But it'll require more characters to make clear what it is - right now it's in the functional sweet spot.
