If it's anything like my DayJob, this is an existential fear of being "left behind" as everything else and it's word-processor gets "suggestion" features from LLMs.

Mm, yes. The advent of LLMs means any readily available corpus of freely downloadable human-generated text has value. Why bother spidering the site when you can get a prepacked download?

Ah, Jeff confirmed AI was the reason for the lack of dumps. I suspected as much.

I forgot the epic burst of Oscar-related spam we had.

Many of these are using a temp-email service at @fullangle.org

I'll dig through. The phrase 'reddit' would be great but might have legit usage.

this pirate-sports spam crew is really annoying.

Hm. I must have some bad cached data or something.

Is the edit-button working for anyone else right now?

Hi there.

@Jacob Snowy, very snowy.

@MarkHenderson Yes, it's been a while.

Heh.

Temp locks are very handy for interrupting nasty feedback loops in comments.

@RyanRies I know. I wish I knew about their problem.

@Iain That one article yesterday said the Jawbone has a 'flag this interval as special' feature that allows you to come back and flag it as a specific activity. Where presumably Smart Things Happen and it analyzes it for whatever activity it was.

Generally, arm-swings as a proxy for steps taken.

A friend has the Jawbone fit-band. I'll have to ask her how it handles all of her biking.

@Cole I'm kind of stopping in the middle and confusing everyone.

@mfinni Thanks. Friends and immediate family already know, work and public-face are what's getting the update.

@mfinni arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/07/the-great-fitness-band-shootout Was where I saw the roundup.

@Cole APY is one of the better reasons to switch to CU-land.

@voretaq7 Explain the error code, probably.

Yes, well. But it's not supposed to hurt when the stuck together bits stop being stuck together.

@Cole Er, no. You get all sticky.

@Cole Yes, I do like my CU.

@Cole Credit Unions are not immune to whacknuttery legacy problems.

Bummer of a regex, hal.

Haven't used one. SSL-intercept is a technology that's been theoretically possible for years, I just hadn't realized we'd gotten to commercialization of it yet.

@MDMarra Izzat them? The chunked uploader the cleverboots that work for us built broke since the cleverboots picked an uncommon HTTP header to do the tracking. Uncommon HTTP header was getting stripped as too suspicious by aforementioned SSL-intercept proxy.

Apparently SSL-intercept proxies are more common in business than I thought they were.

As you were.

Right.

SMACK.

I suspect cookie shenanigans. Taking them out back and shooting them. BRB.

Godlike powers still exist where they matter the most though.

I.... don't know.

<--- is not blue. Is sad.

@MDMarra That's rotten.

Of course they were nicely squishy before I read that,.

Service starting DCPromo??? Mah brains hurt.

@voretaq7 But it was a hell of a lot more affordable than buying new just for testing!

Unless it's different on other sides, if a user posts two spam-flagged-deleted posts they're blocked from posting the all important third to claim their membership in "weekly active users" counts.

It's looking like DAZN:?\s will give more signal to some low quality ones.

These waves are outnumbering legit content on weekends!

Neat!

It seems a lot of the serverfault spam has the string 'crackstream' in it.

The number of moderators was determined mostly by retirement-counts. We're losing two who are fairly active due to resignations. As it is, the flag-handling workload is pretty uneven with Sven handling half of everything right now (Michael Hampton is on limited availability until 2019).
