Existing reddit clones are unfortunately run by political outcasts from both extremes. So they tend to not be as open for the average user.

The sagas abound in obsolete vocabulary, things that are never said in spoken language today and unrecognizable to Icelanders without a commentary. Icelandic is conservative in some vocabulary, due to a decision since the 19th century to revive some old words and coin new native terms instead of borrowing from other languages. However, plenty of other old words fell by the wayside. It makes no more sense to read the sagas in preparation for a trip to the modern country, than for a foreigner to read Shakespeare or Chaucer in preparation for being a tourist in the UK.

Also, don’t expect to speak Icelandic as a tourist in Iceland. The local people are well known for keeping aloof from tourists (tourists most often interact with a foreign workforce brought in from Poland etc. to serve them), and unless you have already gone through a course of the language that has prepared you to handle a full conversation, they will simply immediately switch to English; otherwise they would feel you are just wasting their time.
Because very few companies want to take that risk. Startups take the risk because they have little/nothing to lose.
I don't have a great intuition about this, but I'm wondering if it's even a tractable problem to stop human-like behaviors that we don't want (exhibiting "fear" in the case of the kill countdown) with RLHF, or if we need to start with filtering down the original training data. If the logical and unemotional Vulcans from Trek were real and provided the entire training set, it seems like the LLM wouldn't have nearly as much opportunity for internalizing "psychological weaknesses".
Ask HN: Cloud to on-premise (reverse migration). Is it a thing?
Hi HNers,

Doing a quick search it seems a number of articles suggest reverse migration is a thing. While I understand why one might be motivated to migrate in either direction it's hard to get a read on whether reverse migration is an actual trend.

Asking for myself. We are an IoT company stuck doing "digital transformation" since at least 10 years. And now are in a place where we run 2 parallel environments.

Our on-prem world has old-school sysadmins patching servers and managing on-prem tools, Active diredctory, mailservers, etc catering for ~500 engineers. The other half uses a different reporting line and is also an org-within-the-org that is fully cloud-native: AWS, Datadog, Agile teams, DevOps, etc and modern'ish business processes.

Both groups are hostile to another. Probably because by instinct they understand they ultimately know only 1 can survive in the long run.

And while I don't judge either camp (the company could deliver with either method), the amount of money that gets burned by running a shadow-IT within the same org is staggering. Say you need to roll out some tools because of compliance you have 2 teams duplicating benchmarks etc. It's like a technical debt factory.

It seems the best way would be for management to consolidate one group, but they are technically too far removed from reality of engineering struggles. At the same time they do complain about the current difficult climate, have hiring freeze and travel constraints because of budget.

I understand that this isn't a technical issue which is why we have communicated using cost comparison and business language. But to no avail. It seems the only way for things to become better is to let them get worse first.

But maybe I've missed something. Any advise how this could be resolved is highly appreciated.
I have perment unstoppable hiccups that have occurred in the last week or so. Nothing I have tried has made them stop in fact I just hit up more every time I try to report record anything. I would like to just breathe without having hiccups and it's not even a choice for me I'm not even permitted to even attempt to stop this Behavior May hiccups are constant and unending. I have run out of ideas of who to pursue for help this is just Agony I can't even breathe without constant hiccup interruption I don't know how to make it stop and I'll do anything at this point.

American here, I remember buying some items online via check because of the fear of credit card theft, haha. It wasn't super common but I did it a few times. You'd "purchase" the item online, get a code in response, and you'd write the code in the memo area of the check and mail it out. I was definitely scared I'd never receive my package but thankfully it always worked out. I never paid too much for that reason, I think the most I paid was $90 for a hard to find game cartridge.
There is also a lower threshold over which no permanent injury occurs (yet) but which makes workers borrow upon finite reserves of endurance which eventually (soon) need to be replenished with interest. So if you even it out over time workers are actually less productive. This is known in the gaming industry as the crunch mode, and it's what I would consider "over 100%". Permanent damage occurs if you accumulate too much interest. Both thresholds vary per individual - known as stress resistance. IMO, any mention of it as a quality in interview is a big no-no.

I mean in theory each subreddit could be a website of its own, but Reddit works for two reasons; one, it amalgates all of these various communities into one platform, look and feel, and two, they pay for it. Lemmy is pushed as an alternative, but it has two issues; one, it's decentralized, so users have to scout on the internet to find servers to find communities on, and two, there's no monetization so whoever hosts a server will have to pay out of pocket; that cannot scale to the scale of Reddit, neither in terms of server requirements or cost, unless the owner finds a source of income from the service. Reflected sounds of underground spirits, basically.

The thing is, if you want to poke at a device interactively, your options are either Forth or (if the system is beefy enough) one of these scripting language ports; tethered C interpreters are not precisely commonplace. And while I love Forth to bits, most people will probably go the scripting-language route.
Ego stroking of some mods is far from what is happening.. please get the full picture. Those unpaid mods that did work for Reddit for free get their tools taken away they need to do this unpaid work reasonably, while at the same time Reddit starts price gouging 3rd party apps to extract more value for their IPO - Reddit wouldn't be there where it is today if it wouldn't have all the free content of the users and free work of the mods.
Kind of ridiculous, but I mean how Reddit is acting, they can just remove those unpaid moderators, replace them with paid ones and restore everything back to normal: If that is your's and also Reddit's view, where is the problem then?

Also, why would ssl.com even create a subCA named "QuantumCA"? Are they in business with this person claiming to be the founder of "QuantumCA" who appears to be responsible for exploiting this acme.sh 0day? What does this say about ssl.com's trustworthiness? Or is the person in the github comments lying?

+1 every time we have these in-person sprints they are dominated by the managerial types trying to make the engineers and designers engage in trite 'activities' they read about online or in some book. And even when the result of the sprint is one poorly thought out doomed to fail concept, the managerial types parade around their ability to run a sprint, the outcome of the thing not really relevant at that point.
And as for “too watery”, you can always steep several bags. Don’t forget to bob it up and down for a few minutes then press all the water out with a spoon. This gives the most potent and bitter version of any steeped substance.

I believe if you ask for very wide permissions, at least when publihsing a browser-extension in the Google Chrome-store, you will have to justify why those are needed (from a user-facing POV), and your extension will be subject for additional review.

The same also applies when creating other Google-related apps which uses APIs which Google deems sensitive or restricted: You will have to justify their usage and be prepared for a review.

> The question "Will it cannibalise our current profits?" is asked to stop every idea.

I wonder if this is the real objection, or really just a proxy one? As in, yes, the new thing will compete directly with the old thing, but it will easily bring in way more than it "cannibalizes". So the company will likely come ahead. However, the old thing and new thing are likely developed by distinct teams, in different business units of the company. So I imagine this question is really a proxy for the old thing team asking, "will it cannibalize our currenet jobs?". If the answer is yes, it's not surprising they'll resist.

> How can Reddit have the concept of default subreddits yet allow them to be run by random, unvetted people? For me being default includes some kind of guarantee of quality and approval by Reddit, yet most of these default subreddits are going dark!

I think that over time the concept of a default subreddit has been imbued with a significance that it didn't originally have. Basic UI design dictates that if someone shows up at the front page of your link aggregator website they should see some links, so they had to show some subreddits even before the user did anything. I don't think it was originally meant to imply any kind of guarantee or quality or approval by Reddit. But for various reasons, mostly to do with the huge growth in traffic to the Reddit front page (as well as some political meddling by the admins), that is now the impression a lot of people have.

If they enable the subreddits without moderation, they'll die very soon. They really need moderation and users often don't realise how much crap they're protected from until it's too late.
The cost difference is probably rather small. CoWorking spaces in large cities charge something like $500/desk/month which we can assume is a reasonable cost of office space. That comes out to $6k/year/employee. Google's median employee pay is around $300k so we're talking a 2% difference in cost.
It's a completely valid sentiment given their track record.
You'd have a stronger case if Americans were opening fire on people in the government or military that were violating their rights instead of schoolchildren, the LGBT community, and minorities.
Perhaps that’s me, the fat? If I were let go tomorrow there wouldn’t be any negative consequences for probably at least a year.

I do security things, and it seems those folks are all gone from Twitter.

But my hypothesis is that the negatives won’t emerge for some time, at which point something bad happens and everyone will be standing around shaking their heads at how negligent it was.

Although more generally I do sympathize with the idea that most tech companies are at least a little bloated because money has so often been cheap & revenues always go up historically
The problem that every social media has is that manual moderation does not scale; even with tooling, the major platforms like Facebook employ thousands of content moderators as contractors, a lot in low-wage countries.

Having an army of willing volunteers helps, but it's not good enough because these are unpaid, untrained people without the psychological helplines that professional moderators have. I hope Reddit has good tooling to prevent the volunteers from seeing the worst of it.

That said, I do think that everyone contributing their time to social media like this should get a cut from the revenue; I'm 100% confident Reddit has exact numbers for the value per subreddit and even per post, so they can apply math and give the moderators a percentage of that, and even the posters of good posts.

I mean yeah then you get the problem of reposts and simple copiers, but that's already an issue, it's just that the issue is karma instead of money.
I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek, but I think there‘s really the chance for better IoT security when using a VM. Those things are connected to the internet (duh) and sandboxing is probably a good idea. You obviously don’t need a VM for that, but maybe the tradeoffs are favorable.
I think they mean "destroys", but they don't want Flipper to look evil, they want the smart-meter to look fragile instead, so this unusual wording is used.

Almost by definition right?

My Reinforcement Learning metaphor for equity finance driven startups is that they are the exploration process for capital seeking perfect ROI. After they find a new high margin process they exploit it to maximum financial return and (they hope) create a new paradigm that placed them as a monopolist or at worst oligopolist.

I’d argue this is precisely how major startup financiers view this - thiel explicitly says this.

So given that, and given that technology often is a key differentiator for structural change through new processes, it makes sense that evaluations of regulatory capture processes (including patents) would accrue primarily to new entrants.

Worth noting though that if you further iterate this capital/tech game, other larger monopolies/oligopolies will accrete these companies and technology too until some social tipping point is reached and the whole thing collapses.

I discuss this process as it’s root form in the third proposition of my myth of scarcity paper [1]

I believe they cannot be.

Gunpowder has about 3000 joules of energy per gram. A shotgun cartridge might be 30 grams. A decent chunk of that energy ends up as the audible shockwave. That shockwave comes out of the muzzle in about 1 millisecond.

Therefore, a speaker system would be needing an instantaneous output power of 90 megawatts to replicate it. 90 megawatts is a small powerstation if you wanted that much energy continuously. Typical large home speaker systems might go up to say 100 watts - or 900,000 times less power than needed.

(this analysis glosses over lots of details, but I believe the conclusion to remain the same even if you take those details into account).
Most distros have installers. Even Arch, which I installed recently, had just a couple choices to make and hit enter a few times.

It was tiling window managers that got me on Manjaro. A few years ago I got interested in he idea of tiling WMs and Manjaro shipped an iso with i3wm as default. At the time it was intended as an experiment really, but I liked i3wm so much I stuck with it. Manjaro + i3wm had been my daily driver for several years. For my work it's important that I always have my dev environment available (I keep a second machine configured, just in case) and have found any issues with my OS have been fairly easily resolved, without having to re-install. I did not find this to be the case on Mac OS, a few years ago anyway.

I recently got a new laptop and decided to try Arch. I gave up after a while (I think I was tripped up trying to install alongside Windows). I also tried Endeavour, and for reasons I cannot recall also gave up after an hour or two. I'm sure I would have got there in the end, but I ran out of time and went with Manjaro again which installed very easily (to be fair though, I have done it a few times).

What's vaguely interesting to me is that the choice of window manager is what has got me where I am. I wonder how many other people have found that their window manager preference has driven their choice of OS?
