I'm not aware of any situation where Postgres (without extensions) would compress ints that way? That is more of a column-oriented or time-series DB thing to me. Are there any cases in Postgres where this actually plays a role and sequ

The users that are the most likely to benefit from this kind of tool are also the least likely to be able to judge the quality of the edits it produces. Especially if you're not a native English speaker you might not notice that it cha

With raw SQL you could write anything in it. Within EF Core it won't allow bad values, you could trick it I think but that is not something you'd do accidentally. You can always add a CHECK constraint in addition, if you have more

Native enums in Postgres just seem to have many more drawbacks than advantages. I never really used them, it didn't seem worth it. I usually use C# Enums translated by EF Core now, which works perfectly fine on the C# side. The only mi

A database has to handle situations outside its control, e.g. someone cutting the power to the server. That should not result in a corrupted database, and with Postgres it doesn't. The fundamental problem is that when you're shari

But we're talking about mass deletion of all your content here. If you specifically mention your real name or address or something like that in a post, it's a different situation.

Your Reddit posts are not personal data. Okay, you can probably get specific ones removed that way where you explicitly include personal data. But this doesn't mean that you have a right to delete all content you write anywhere.

Where does the idea come from that not allowing users to delete content is against the law/GPDR? You have the right to ask for deletion of personal information they store, and even that has certain limits. You don't have the right

I would assume that a small percentage of mods are doing the vast majority of actual moderating. So the interesting statistic would be the percentage of mod actions performed via third-party tools. This is a bit similar to Stack Overflow cl

There is no bot. This is entirely about human moderators acting on posts they consider AI-generated.

That's kind of a really "meh" thing if you develop web applications and not websites. The static parts aren't that large, and the app kinda useless until the dynamic parts are there. So that doesn't really justify a

I think this is entirely a documentation and marketing issue at this point. React Server components are very new, probably new enough that most people should not use them unless they're very comfortable working on the bleeding edge. Th

The problem is that the public policy as posted by SE is simply different than the private communication from SE. Those private rules were shared in places that have an expectation of confidentiality, so the moderators are not entirely free

In this case it certainly matters that ChatGPT is free. There are just many more people using that than paying for GPT-4 access.

I'm not the ideal person to ask here. But in general the output of specific AI tools like ChatGPT produces certain patterns that are quite noticeable. And you have to keep in mind that you usually have more than a single post available

No, the new policy means that in almost all cases you cannot moderate content you consider AI-authored at all. This means moderators cannot delete those posts nor suspend the users for this specific reason. The result is pretty much that AI

This gets into the particulars of how moderation on SO usually works. Posts are only deleted for low quality when they are really terrible. Most bad posts are handled by downvoting by the community, no mods involved. Deciding which posts ar

This is essentially a ban on removing AI content, the cases where it is still allowed to remove the posts are exceedingly rare. This is rather confusing as the public policy doesn't contain those details. I'm a moderator on a smal
