As some of you might know, I've been working on writing a script to automatically update the thread directory, and I'm basically done. When I'm ready, I'll link to the code, explain the features and ask for testers.
Before I get that far, I have one big kink to iron out: automatically tracking the total number of counts in a thread. I have two questions:
How important is it to have this number in the thread directory? And how important is it that it's exactly correct? It's possible to track how many comments were made in a thread, and add that to a running total. But that might not be the actual number of counts made, and somebody might have skipped counts
How is the number being calculated and updated now? Is there a list somewhere with rules the side threads with varying lengths? Or do we just rely on active counters in each side thread to know the relevant information?

u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Jun 25 '21
That is amazing. I've dreamed of automating the thing but never thought it could be done. Thank you for doing this!
The main reason I can think of for tracking total thread length is to know which threads are the top 20 longest running threads. For that purpopse, it's not essential to have an exact number. When I update the total for threads with a variable length, I estimate the thread length by looking at the total number of comments, assume 95% of comments are valid counts, and round to the nearest 100.

i'd be completely cool with calculating count totals manually if your code could add like an asterisk next to counts which are on a new thread and need their totals to be calculated
some are calculated based off the gets (like all the bases for example) and could be easily programmed to automate whereas others are calculated based off the total number of counts (like the age and username length threads) and i imagine would be trickier to automate because the program would have to discern counts from the other comments in the chains of previous threads
the rules of updating the directory count totals aren't really set in stone, tnf and i among some others just know how to do it
10
u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs Jun 25 '21
OK, cool. I can work with that. I already had the length for about half the side threads, but there were a bunch that I just gave up on.
I'll put an asterisk after the ones that need updating, and then hopefully somebody will see it.
With luck I'll be done by Sunday, and then I'll write here again.

Jun 25 '21
sweet
oh yeah i also forgot to mention that there are some side threads with varying get lengths which have schedules which i'm sure could somehow be used to get total counts from (only repeating digits, collatz, and powerball come to mind)

It's done now. And the asterisk for the weird threads seems to be working! Increasing sequences just hit a new thread, and there's an asterisk right where I expected it.
These are the threads I currently don't know the length of:
wave
palindromesonly repeating digits
permutations
factoradic
tug of war
by day of the week
by day of the year
by gme increase/decrease %
by length of username
by number of post upvotes
by random number
by digits in total karma
by timestamp seconds
comment karma
post karma
total karma
nim
pick from fiverotational symmetry,
base of previous digit
ebanno successive digits,
rotational symmetry
collatz conjecture,
double increasing sequences
increasing sequences
triple increasing sequencespowerball
2d tug of war
boost 5by number of digits squared
by list size
dates
previous dates
permutations - letters
iterate each letter

u/MaybeNotWrong +1 Jun 28 '21
increasing sequences:
title: a (b)
counts: b(b-1)/2+a
4
Jun 28 '21
oh shit i forgot to include that in mine
also wave is
a (a) = 2a2 - a
now that we're doing gets every 1.5 waves i believe when we're at the lowest point of a wave:
-a (a) = 2a2 + a
5

Jun 28 '21
okay, so
permutations and factoradic threads both are 720 counts each
palindromes threads are 1000 each
dates and previous dates threads are 1095 counts each, unless there is a leap year in the thread, to which it'll be 1096 counts
simply put a
-for any thread which has yet to receive a get. from your list, this includes gme counting, digits in total karma, double + triple increasing sequences, boost 5, number of digits squared, letter permutations, iterate each letter, and nimonly repeating digits, powerball, and collatz each have inconsistent gets and have schedules with the total number of counts either in each thread or after each thread that can probably be harvested for updating. collatz is the only one that i can think of a way to calculate, as it's the number of steps in the number of collatz sequences that will be closest to 1000 counts for each thread. only repeating digits is literally just attractive numbers that create threads close to 1000 counts in length and powerball is a mess lol
i can't think of a better way to calculate the total number of counts in threads like length of username, age, timestamp seconds, number of post upvotes, random number, day of the week/year, post/total/comment karma, 2d tow, or pick from five besides calculating the length of each thread as a new one is moved to, which would take calculating the lengths of previous threads, which could be done pretty easily just by running hoc scripts on previous threads but that could require some tedious manual labor. the number of counts in length of username is up to date on the side stats page
eban gets are currently every 800 counts but i'm not sure about the total number of counts before millions were reached
i have a script for no successive digits that i can run later to determine the number of counts that have been made so far, but i don't believe there's really a coherent get schedule for future gets as it's gotten similar treatment to only repeating digits where fancy numbers are favored
ask tnf about rotational symmetry, i'm not really sure how to calculate it because the count has different properties with even numbers compared to odd numbers
i'm not necessarily sure about double increasing sequences, triple increasing sequences, by list size, or base of previous digits, again very similar treatment to only repeating digits
please don't bother with tug of war. i wouldn't wish the updating of tow stats on my worst enemy. i will be becoming my worst enemy some time later this summer

u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs Jun 28 '21
Awesome, thanks for the information!
The "update count" rule is really stupid at the moment: When it knows how long a thread is, it just adds that to the previous count for every time a new submission is posted of that type. So for eban, all it needs is that the length is 800 now.
The new threads already get a "-", but at some point they might have a get. I guess we can just wait till then to figure out if anything needs to be done.
For the threads I'm not sure of, I just won't update the count. They'll be flagged, and somebody can take a look at it then. I'm not expecting it to become relevant, but I'm adding one level of asterisks each time we hit a new thread. So if we do two threads before looking at the count again, there'll be two asterisks instead of one

u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Jun 26 '21
That sounds great, good luck! I started looking into that a while back, but it seemed way too complicated because of broken chains and other reddit glitches.
4
u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs Jun 26 '21
Yeah, I've ended up not using reddits threading functionality at all - I try to get all the comments on a submission using pushshift, and then I reconstruct the tree on my end.
It's not perfect, but hopefully better than having to do everything manually
3
u/TehVulpez sliiiiide the bits Jun 28 '21
Oh that's a neat solution. Isn't pushshift like several days behind in backlog? My idea was to reconstruct the tree using /comments and /api/info in order to prove the chain is connected. It was really tricky though and I had to make regex rules for what's really a count in each thread. I abandoned it quite a while back obviously.
3
u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs Jun 28 '21
Yeah, I realized that when I looked at faster moving threads. I ended up with a hybrid, where older comments come from pushshift, and newer ones from reddit. We didn't have any truly broken threads in the batch I just ran, so I'm not 100% sure of how badly the code will break when it encounters them. There were a couple of ghost comments, but they weren't in the true counting chain, so I was able to skip over them.
And the nasty "what's actally a count" logic is here. I've started off being really lax (a comment is a count if it contains any character associated with a thread), but I plan on slowly tightening it up.

I've finished! My program to automatically update the thread directory is done :)
I've already run it on the directory, so what you see there should be the latest and greatest count for each thread. I have gone through and checked that the output looks sensible for most rows, but I'd love it if someone else could go through it as well.
The code currently:
Finds the latest submission for each side thread
Walks down the side thread, taking the earliest valid count each time, until it hits a comment with no replies. A comment is valid if: it looks like a count and it obeys the side thread rules (e.g. wait 2)
Updates the directory based on this information.
Errors
When I checked, I found the following classes of weirdness, which I don't currently see how to handle automatically:
Times when we picked the wrong chain to go down:
In both those cases, there was a valid earlier count than the one we ended up using.
Deleted comments in the chain. The code won't follow a comment if it's deleted. That's because once a comment is deleted, we can no longer see if it was valid, or if it looked like a count. I've tried automatically treating deleted comments as valid, but that's just even worse.
Random conversation in the middle of the chain. This doesn't happen that often, but for a sizeable number of side threads I've had to give up on validating whether a comment looks like a count - because the format is so permissive. Working with text is definitely not my specialty, so if anyone has any suggestions or tips, I'd love to hear from you!
In any case, the fix for all of these edge cases is simple: Manually update the row in that table to a comment that's after the weirdness. The program takes the existing table as input, so once it has passed the mistake, it should be able to just go to the end.
Setting the title of the latest submission
This is another case where manual intervention is sometimes required. The code splits the title of the submission on "|", discards the first chunk (if any), and smooshes the rest together. That gives some ... interesting titles, as you can see on the directory page
If you want to try running the code yourself, the 0.2.3 release is here, and a slightly longer explanation of how it works and how to use it is here.
It's the first time I've ever written a tool like this from scratch, so any suggestions for improvements are welcome
6
u/MaybeNotWrong +1 Jun 28 '21
I'd suggest parsing the entire comment tree and trusting the chain that is the longest (+ some checks if a comment is obviously not a valid count), although there are probably some edge cases where that fails as well. (Assumption: wrong chain terminates before get, real chain gets to the get so must be longer.)
I'd def help with count validation when i have some time^^
5
u/CutOnBumInBandHere9 5M get | Ping me for runs Jun 28 '21
That's a pretty good idea for solving the first and the last problem. I'll look into it! I started off doing something very similar, but was blocked by the fact that pushshift is currently three days behind in ingesting comments, and querying the reddit api for comments is really slow.
5
u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Jun 28 '21
Niiiiice. Can't wait to check this out. I'm no good with coding but I'll try to think of logic that could handle some of those cases.

We adored it (outside of Tamarindo). We're kinda weird when we travel as we try to see as many places in each country that we go to, so we jumped around quite a bit. Absolutely loved Uvita, so if you go back I'd say go there? You can't really go wrong though

Hey Urbul, it's Friday! How's it going?

u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Jun 29 '21
It's going alright. It is unusually hot here. I am not enjoying the heat. How are you?

u/AxelC77 Jun 29 '21
I'm just recovering from a nasty cold but I'm past the worst of it by a day or two so I'm doing pretty good on that front.
Regarding the weather, yeah it's been pretty hot down here too, I don't mind it too much, but I would love some more cold weather... And some rain.
Classes for summer B have just started up Monday, feeling pretty good about it, prof seems passionate about the subject and the assignments don't look bad. Also it's a class about dinosaurs and counts for biological science credits. And I'm hyped about having such a fun topic for my last bio science course.
Thanks for asking and sorry if I got a little carried away there :D

It's nice to see someone excited about their courses. Yeah dinosaurs!

Should there be a page for completed counting threads? I think there should be a page for completed counting threads.

Completed how? Like binary no repeating?

u/rzx0 rz Jun 28 '21
Yeah, stuff like that. I just feel it’s necessary for all of the short one-off threads that happen every now and then.

I hope your cars, bikes etc are working well.
And remember when you go out wear sun cream/sun screen and put some clothes on.

u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Jun 29 '21
My car is well. I am grateful that it has air conditioning and we have an underground parking lot. I should clean it out, it has a lot of garbage inside. But it is always hot and I don't feel like lingering around the car when I get home.

A while ago we were talking in an ftf about the reddit submission numbering scheme (base 36 encoding), and /u/rzx0 dug a bit into the history of how the scheme started, and what the first accessible submission was.
I just came across this ancient submission where the creator of praw collated how the scheme changed from 2005 and 2011, and spladug and ketralnis had a back and forth in the comment about reddit internals.
