Sup Forums Tool

What idea or gadget have you always dreamed about having for Sup Forums?
A scanner? A game..? Auto-reply..?

OP might just happen to be

>willing to develop your tool, if the idea is good

Portable gas chamber

A more advanced filter based on category of the thread

And I have a Sup Forums CV already

Intriguing. Feel free to elaborate.

sunglases with some kinda liquid crystal or similar, so you can make them dark or maybe even fade them with the touch of a button.

It would be nice to have a catalog that groups similar types of threads together when they dont have matching names or thread images. Kinda to make topics into generals rather than being scattered all over the place

Stats on the board, bump limit, auto sage reply numbers etc

I want it to go back to where I can see the flag when I hover on a thread in the catalog.

It's a small thing, yes, and I have grandiose dreams as well, but sometimes it's the small things that make the difference for your daily experience.

Here are some grouping options, I could imagine:
>Poster flag
>Trending/non-trending (reply-rate)
>Subject (Trump, alt-right, etc.) maybe done by looking for keywords in OP's post.
>other..?

Do I get you right? It's hard to parse images, so besides image name, there's not much that can be done to identify the meaning of what is displayed on the image.

An app that lets you know when Tool's new album is out.

Thanks OP

And this is one of the keys I'm also looking for. Simply enhancing browser experience.

Also, it's interesting to see how you guys use Sup Forums (ie. using the catalog - I never use it).

I don't know how anybody would be able to use Sup Forums in particular without the catalog. Some boards it's a fun lottery to see whichever thread is on the first page, or maybe to hang out on the 5th page for the /comfy/ or whatever. But Sup Forums is so fast and has such a poor signal:noise ratio that I can't imagine being drawn to spend much time here without the easy ability to hunt down a thread that might be interesting.

I agree with the huge amount of noise, but it is also inherently a difficult task to reduce, since there is an overload of information in the high amount of posts.

Also, your use case might be one out of several. You state that you are seeking threads of value out of a criteria that you have in your head. Maybe this criteria has something to do with the topic of the thread, the popularity of the thread, the locality of the thread, etc.

It's interesting to understand the agenda of the people coming here, so that tools can empower these different agendas.

I'm mainly using the first page of pol, because it gives me an impression of which threads are trending.

when i was a kid i always wanted something that resembles any smart phone today and now i have it.

I'll give you another example. I come from a bit of an NLP background and I predict that in time we'll be able to identify frequent posters with decent confidence based on their linguistic patterns, sentiments, the kinds of stories they aways retell, and so-forth.

But part of what's key there is just to scrape enough history to use as training data. And if you're going to do that, then you could relatively easily tag threads that are the exact same thread again and indicate how many times it's been posted and when the last iteration was. That way, if you're not enough of a loser to have seen them all yourself already, you can walk in to a samethread knowing you're walking in to a samethread.

I know this guy has millions of bucks and shieet but he should shave his head

Those trends are often artificial, though. It says a lot more when you get a thread that remains active well past the bump limit and before it has a chance to slide off the board. And very often that doesn't take shape until later on in the thread when a tenacious discussion takes hold.

Even better when the mods delete it even after it's past the bump limit. How do they get so triggered over a thread that's about to die without having deleted it when it was still getting bumped? lollerskates.

I can understand that I have a fellow dev tard here on Sup Forums.

Though your ideas definitely are interesting, they are probably out of scope of what I had in mind. Introducing machine learning is probably immediately out of scope.

Maybe there are less complicated algorithms to filter out those kind of threads, if your goal is to filter out some of these threads.

I don't see fit to filter them. R9K was an interesting experiment in automated moderation, but even there they had to take out the m00tblox robot.

Rather, I seek a mediating force, such as simple public indicators, to aid the self-moderation of the public and as a slight forcing function toward the ideal of more even-handed moderation. It most assuredly leaves people unhappy when some obvious spam threads run rampant while other obvious not-spam threads get deleted. Moderating is not an easy job, and anybody who's so much as opped an IRC channel full of channer types knows it's a delicate balance. But does the solution to Sup Forums dot js have to be capcha (fuck capcha) if every day or two some australian slides half the board with the same pointless BBC threads for a half hour?

Yeah, so long story short: As soon as one attempts an easy approach at improving browser experience, it quickly escalates.

Hello fellow Dane heres an idea I thought of for a while (no dev here but know basics):
Webextension. Make it use some kind of service to 'archive' the page.
That way you can blacklist sites you dont want to give trafic to directly ie no pagevisits but via archive.is or unvisit.
However, a user should be able to Import a .txt -> to a blacklisted sites. The extension will know which sites to open directly and which trafic to tunnel.

Checked and that's why I favor the simple things and trying to leave the general format of chans free-form. It should be the easy approach that wins.

There's a reason why Snax was well-liked in his moderation style. There's a reason why m00t was a faggot but the faggot we needed. There's a reason why hiroshima somehow is getting things mostly right despite the increasingly authoritarian moderation/janitor staff. There's a reason why a Kirtypoo's notion of a completely unmoderated Sup Forums was good, but suitable mainly to his satellite chan.

People like having fun. It's pretty simple.

To an extend, this service already exists (pic related), if you are thinking about a central global service.

What is left to do here would be to define a blacklist (or whitelist) to tell the browser which version you want to load, when you lick a link@google for instance.

Forgot pic..

I would love to contribute to an open source Sup Forums project

Sounds great. Is python your language? Cause I'm mainly looking for javascript/browserextension projects.

What we really should be making is a Chrome extension that blocks porn on Sup Forums.
Maybe a voting system where you click on porn and it hides it for all other users.

No need to develop yourself, op. We know you're the ultimate tool.

Chrome is gay. The concept of having a native extension was a nice try, even if the result is half crippled up. I might bother with trying to enable the auto-hyperlinking again if it hadn't been so grossly broken and defective at the roll-out.

It was a hidden gem, for instance, when it turned out that you could use the embeded JewTube thing to get around having to log in. Even just being able to see wtf it is before deciding whether or not you want to watch it is good stuff -- on par with hover-availability of flags.

One of the failings of norbot was that when people started archiving everything they didn't also indicate the original source or greentext part of it, and that upped the effort cost of making a decision on what was worth clicking on or not.

Can you make a browser add-on that blocks out pictures of black people, muslims, you know.. non whites in general. But it also has to block political correctness articles and other progressive stuff.
Is this possible? I would pay for this.

Norway has the moneys to pay for everything.

But what you are asking for is basically a specific filter to identify political correctness in all it's forms. That's quite of a task.

If you choose to make it user driven, then also, you become prone to false positive, etc.

Chrome is gay, yes, but I still developed a plugin for it
>chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/Sup Forums-greek-surveillance/bgcjhhldnpllbmhdaijongcbedocnnmj?hl=en
However, chrome specific parts of the project is only the bootstrapper code, which embeds the javascript in a chrome extension.
The code can perfectly run without chrome (or in any other browser plugin).

python for the api and js for everything else.

Yes, basically a filter just like the pornography and violent content filters. But instead this one filters progressiveness and political correctness, marxism, pro gay stuff, pro immigration etc. So it's gonna be a lot of work making this, right?

>tfw firefox always asks me if I want to SHUT IT DOWN because it's not responding after 10 minutes of firefox not responding because Apu and Pajeet wrote the web page

I'd love to be able to block those Australian threads about racemixing and black dicks.

a browser extension that lets you quickly and easily change and screenshot tweets.

I don't know about your age, user, but do you remember back in the dawn of the internet, where schools and institutions were seeking a way to censor porn and other +18 material from the youngsters?
They basically had the same request as you, and it was no success story.

You can relatively easy ban internet domains, and therefore perhaps ban CNN.com and other left media platforms, but this doesn't prevent CNN from hosting content on other domains.

Same goes for porn. You cannot effectively train a bot to identify porn in an image alone, and this is why Facebook has hired Asian slave workers to grind through the endless images on facebook to identify "triggering" images and flag them.

Haha, and having sold my soul to Microsoft (as a .NET dev), I exactly know the pain of Pajeet and Apu's workings. Such a simple thing as logging into Azure takes 10+ redirects and half the times logs you out instead of in.

Remember when CATV came out and they scrambled the porn channels, but you could still hear women breathing hard and if you waited long enough you could see something that looked like a boob fly across the screen?

I can tell you from personal experience that it didn't stop me from staying up late to blow a wad.

fpbp

An app that scans through various social media platforms and "red flags" the profiles of users that are coalburners/race-mixers, or any particular kind of sexual-degenerate that particularly irks you (furries/scat/diaper play)... all modifiable in a custom search filter of sorts.

I never had cable TV, but in essence, the beauty of information - and our huge potential of distributing it through the wire today - is that it is so hard to censor and block. And with the correct finesse and smarts, one will always be able to share and get what information he wants.

I love this aspect, and it filled my youth with gazillions of games without worrying about distributions, commercials, marketing, etc. It's like saying "Art should always be free".

> hide posts by some id, and his reply markers (for eg the garbage truck JBP poster)
> look /only/ at posts by this id (for good LARPers)

You could do latent semantic analysis on the threads, though.

Damn, you've got me a bit interested.

I kind of like Billy Corgan's take on it: that the old profit models for the music industry are broken, people should be invited to record live concerts or maybe buy copies of them afterward if they were good, and that it's more fun to go see a live art performance live instead of listening to repeats on the radio.

Sup Forums is very much a live art performance.

Fuck off Bjarne, you ruined programming

I'm interested in NLP and think of the power it could have in comment sections, like /maybe/ extracting signal from the noise. But then I think of the bad things the power could be used for, too. BTW, that 'identify style on anons' has already been done, by deep learning. Its author had it on github even, but had a crisis of conscience and pulled it.

>Sup Forums is very much a live art performance.
Agree, but the labels "art" and "artist" are reserved for the people in our society, who needs to align their choice of career (or lack of same) to a meaning beyond just being unhelpful.

The best men are the ones, who make an honest and effective contribution to society meanwhile looking at themselves and their crafts as works of art. They don't need to brand themselves, but they find joy in silently putting this perspective on their work.

The military doesn't have a crisis of conscience. They pay and get paid to get the job done for the most part.

a button that makes shitskins die

I'm glad to hear. I had a blast launching and developing it.

Did you find the UI intuitive and easy to use?

Well they didn't have deep learning back then. It could probably do ok learning boobish and dickish shapes. It would be a very doable project, to find out.

>When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air. You can never capture it again.
In spite of the archives, Sup Forums is still art because of the fundamental majority of consensus that it is anonymous and that whatever you type in to it one day will be gone tomorrow.

>t. brainlet

C++ is an awful language, any non-brainlet can see

Martin Schulz with Merkel haircut.

C++ is now godlike. If you haven't looked at it in the last few years, it's really caught up and is sweet to use.

What the fuck does a man like Bjanre Stroustrup even do all day?

It's also my understanding that there are some effective and sophisticated methods of identifying body parts and other features of an image.

However, porn is not just a dick. It has also got something to do with the "atmosphere", which is a next-level classification issue. Our brain is super complex, and though it might be able to identify atmosphere and other features quite easily and fast, it is still a super complicated task that is not simply translated into a digital program for a computer to catch up.

You must be joking

are we rule of 13 yet ?

> t. Java pleb

>t. C programmer

C++ was a decent thought experiment for its time even though it was later determined to have unresolvable crushing failures.

C is great, but try going back to C again. It's even worse than having to carefuly construe your code to compile as C or C++ because usually in that case at least you can use some of the helpful shortcuts.

Step aside brainlets

go away monoid fagtor!

Yeah, true, I don't imagine it could distinguish high art from porn, but just detecting women's nipples, and dicks, would be something.

what about automatically archiving links on your clipboard?

Could be an (((extension))) or better yet something cross-platform so it works when I share links in chats as well.

also could have a custom list of domains to archive so breitbart can still get my friends' clickbux

BTW, Bjarne is a self-declared pragmatic programmer/engineer, so of course he is not on the Haskell wagon.

eth dev here
just learn solidity and make an uncensorable dapp

Bjarne has ruined programming even for non-declarative programmers.

not that guy but i basically want the same thing: some kind of tool to rapidly catalog and index threads based on topic. for example, when we have a happening the stickied thread moves too fast for any kind of useful information and others get pushed off as quick as they're created.

That's what the underground /comfy/ threads are for if you're not feeling HIGH ENERGY.

My sides are in orbit. Dat pic.

Disclaimer: I'm the opposite of Bjarne. I appreciate Haskell and declarative things of beauty.
Further, Bjarne is arrogant.
Event further, you can't neglect the fact that C++ has been the goto tool for so many years, but it cannot compete anymore with the modern tools.
