Sorry, english is not my first language, but I’m glad you pointed out my confusion about how many words are in “platform engineering.”

> DevOps was just an approach to remove the silos that some companies built between development and operations

I know this is always the intention but it is never implemented this way, it becomes a “throw crap over the wall” situation again because now you’ve made a second team and management sees that stuff as “their” job and the silos develop.

I don’t profess to know the correct way to do it, but if I was managing an IT team, I’d assign a dedicated “Ops” guy to every dev team who would occasionally also write code. I dont care what you call this person. I’m in favor of platform engineer because it’s a lot more defined than “DevOps.” People have wildly different ideas about what “senior” devops is too. With a term like platform engineer, my gauge for if a person is a senior at that role is by the quality of the platform they can deliver to me. it’s vastly better, but again, I don’t give a crap what you call it as long as organizations finally understand what they’re hiring someone to do.
> Besides, is 1.7 orders of magnitude (from one of your examples) even significantly different from 2.1 orders of magnitude enough to draw any conclusions at all?

10^(2.1) / 10^1.7 gives us about 2.5x lower engagement in Carlson's video over some unknown guy's 40 minute long video on House Md.
Yep, I was also shadow banned from my local city subreddit shortly after being blanked banned from several other subreddits for simply participating in unrelated subreddits. Shadowbans are particularly problematic in city based subreddits where people are more likely to actually try and connect for something in meat space. Missing persons, lost pets, etc. We found a stray pet, but it took my wife creating an account, to finally connect with the owner via reddit despite me having had a 10 plus year old reddit account that was shadowbanned for our city.
It’s called IceCat, and it already exists.
The good bits are also very short lived. Basically once you get all items you need for a build it's fun for an hour, but from then you only get marginal improvements in grinding to get even better versions of the same items.

For me that's when i get bored and lose interest. The problem with D3 is that you can skip pretty much all the boring prep and just hit max. lvl in minutes and then play a couple hours to get the needed items.

HN is "good Reddit for nerds". You have to find alternate sources of your cat video discussion, however.

I wonder if my YC submission for "HackerNudes" as a NSFW clone will fly? I just need to find someone named Don G. to moderate it ... (/sarcasm)
Thanks! Where did you find that info? I can't find it anywhere.
It doesn't need to be fine wine from the best grapes. It doesn't even need to be from grapes. The first beers were murky, slurry and not cold and people loved it.

I can convince my first followers by doing the first crops and batches myself, alone.

Usage of animals and metal tools in agriculture came much later. I don't need that to start. I just need fire and ceramics.

Of course it wouldn't be _easy_. Empires are never easy.

Ultimately, what I'm saying is the context of the original comment about soap: food tech would be more succesful than soap tech.

A beautiful thing about the world is that you don't have to care at all what the FSF have opinions on if you don't want to. The license you choose to provide to your users is between you and them.
It would be nice if this explained how to deal with data structures containing cycles. Want to solve a Traveling Salesman problem? Each city object would logically have pointers to neighbors. Multiple pointers to each city, no clear rule for which ones own which others, cycles everywhere. Yes, you can solve this by putting the owning pointers into an array and using indices elsewhere, or similar tricks, but that still leaves you prone to leaks. It's easy to get memory safety - no use after free, buffer overflow, etc. - if you don't care about leaks. The real trick is to come up with something that's also provably leak-free even in the presence of cycles.
People trying to cite the reddit policy as if it’s some kind of law or constitution. They will change their policies or just straight up ignore it if they want. Lmfao
How about "no more carveouts for the state"?

There is nothing that the executive branch should be able to do, that anyone else shouldn't be able to do under the exact same terms.

The executive branch can set up police forces that can bring forward criminal charges and enforce the law? So should anyone else be able to do the same under the exact same terms.

Perhaps when private police forces are arresting legislators for violating laws, under the same terms as state police arrests random citizens the legislators will be incentivised to reduce and disempower laws to the extent those laws are actually necessary and good, rather than over criminalizing everything and letting the executive branch pick and choose who to enforce them against
There have already been multiple Reddit "splinter sites" created (usually when a subreddit got banned) with more or less success.

If a few big good subs do the same, it could start an avalanche. By "good" I mean subs that have actual substantive content, not just people looking at lefunnypost.
I saw a place selling off their "Cinnamon Queen" hens, right at the beginning of the price spike in eggs. they were trading out their flock for a different breed. "$5ea all you can haul" which was a really good price.

I'm wondering if they, and other providers, had bought in on that breed expecting a couple years of production, and then decided that they weren't suitable, thin shells or something.

That would've added some extra push tot he "bird flu" and other pressures that really were more headline price factors than real.
This is a fun use of technology I lose by having my iPhone 8 Plus. Previously I had an Android phone I used to automate to the nines with Tasker and such. Having similar capabilities on all of my devices and holistically binding them together (as you do with sshfs and similar technologies) is enjoyable and has more utility than any regular walled garden. Vendors locking down their devices to prevent advanced users from unlocking its full potential is sad.

I'm switching over to Android soon - once my current phone dies and I can find a capable device with a headphone jack, replaceable battery, and USB-C - and your setup has inspired me to get back into this game!
https://lobste.rs/ and https://raddle.me/ are "Reddit style" sites. Slightly different approaches to moderation and signup.

Lemmy and Kbin are the future I'd like. As siblings have said they're federated - you have an account on one, but you can subscribe to and interact with communities (subreddits) on any. This is the same way that Mastodon works - it's actually the same underlying protocol (ActivityPub).

No programming experience required (only some minor scripting in shell languages & a reference to education), in fact this job ad reads identically to a sysadmin job from 2014; in the middle of the "sysadmins can't code" zeitgeist, when all developing sysadmins had moved to become devops engineers or whatever.

Funny that this is the only part companies don't want.
In the case of epic it was not about the privacy settings but about the percentage they had to pay for on every transaction which is a different issue.

I do think that it is a rare case that a company decides to not use the official appstore and the risk of all companies switching to their own appstore is minor.

Android does restrict more and more things you can do and there seems to be no strong movement to alternative appstores, which makes it difficult to know what impact the strong privacy settings on ios would be with an alternative appstore.

I kind of agree that less privacy protection this is a concern, but I think that should be solved by additional privacy laws.
> This whole discussion is so mute

Sorry for being that guy, but it's "moot" not "mute". A moot point is a point with little relevance to the discussion at hand, while a mute point would be a point that is either unheard, or made using mechanisms other than speech.

Different poster here, but I focus on a file based notes system (mine is on iCloud but any DropBox, Drive, etc would work fine), right no Obsidian and Ai Writer share a folder of my “notes” in an iCloud folder.

Keep is good for grocery lists and ephemeral data, but too easy to delete a note and no way to backup — well maybe takeout works for backup.
I would also think, the numbers could be reduced - but then I never run a plattform of that size.

And they are operating worldwide, processing take down notes, handling court orders alone, is a big deal.
"request might take up to 5 minutes to process" -> in a world of broken AJAX calls and hence, broken spinners, 5 minutes is literally forever to know if this thing works at all. If I don't see a result within 5 seconds, I assume that my internet connection hangs or the server just broke a thing.

You probably have to give some other indicator to show the user whether your site is working at all or not.
Your first definition would include Wikipedia (or even a printed encyclopedia or other reference material, technically it would include a tape-measure, sorry.). Is Wikipedia intelligent? It is likely both Artificial and General so I think we are there, Skynet is upon us and it is user editable!

This is the difficulty of any definition of intelligence: it fails as soon as it is applied...
My buddy had to install an (android) app for his boiler control few years ago and the first thing it did was to demand access to AB and SMS and later sent an actual SMS to an unknown number. This boiler company doesn’t even want to screw you directly, they just slap a partner library on top of their app that does what a third party decides to.

It wasn’t F-Droid, but that’s because PlayStore already allows that behavior. AppStore doesn’t.
Paying for a server is not a huge cost and being centralized is actually a good thing imo. We wouldn’t be ahead with multiple wikipedias, I believe.

Hm... Sysop is a term from the 80-ies. Sysadmin from 90-ies. It survived 00-ies and Devops became a thing in 10-ies.
> Isn't there a third option where the decline is real, proceeds at a faster pace than over several millennia, and leads to the collapse of the civilization of the historical observer?

If this were true, shouldn't we see intermittent periods of "moral uptick" after the collapse of civilization? Either there has been a steady decline (i.e. the next civilization starts lower than the end of the previous one), or the feeling of decline is false due to the missing opposite.
This is exactly what can happen with factory management. The best factories have a pipeline between management and the warehouse workers. In fact, OSHA explicitly recommends that frontline employees are heavily involved in management-included safety meetings.

If this communication goes wrong it can result in deaths and giant profit leaks until eventual bankruptcy.

It's a pain in the ass when you're playing a game in the middle of the room (like when I boxed every day for a month on it) then have to awkwardly walk across the room to the endtable to pick up a glass while pretending I'm a kid cheating during a blindfold game, peaking down.

Also when I boxed I would use this face cover for sweat which also blocked light really well so I basically had to take it off:

You can port your number out of voice, which is nice. I happened to get a number that spells something fun, so I would keep it that way.
DevOps = reducing black boxes at the cost of Dev team load

Platform engineering = building black boxes (abstractions) to reduce Dev team mental load at the expense of nobody understanding how to fix issues
> What shall I buy? It doesn’t exist.

I’m not sure this is an argument.

You’ll find that virtually everything you buy does not meet your exact specifications. If you are not filthy rich your home will not be to your exact specifications, your furniture, your clothes, your car, your luggage, your kitchen.

What most people do is work out what they can afford, prioritise features, and try to buy they can afford and maximises the features they want the most. Maybe they decide, it’s not worth it and get nothing at all.

Same thing with your phone, you may be forced to buy something, but you can get the minimum thing to get by. Maybe you are a rich tech worker and you can run a separate phone that aligns best with your needs and wants.

What will 100% not get you what you want, is complaining, giving the company you don’t like $1500, and then giving the company that might one day live up to your dreams $0.
I don’t remember what the gift was. Bottle opener or T shirt or something like that.

That’s right, I had forgotten that Christina pointed out that tracking it was harder than just returning the money. But the two 10K backers part was right, which must have fuzzed my brain.

I cough won’t comment on decisions made after I left that led to the bankruptcy.
I think this definitely could have been handled much more tactfully on both sides. Im not sure which large audience you are referring to, but Christian references a call with some moderators that seems to have sparked all of this[1]. Prior to the horrendous AMA, spez hadn't posted on reddit for 11 months. Christian was definitely the one to bring it to the public eye. Either way, both sides should share some of the blame.

I think this was definitely a case of the little guy not knowing how to navigate such a volatile situation. Some people might even find it pretty unprofessional to joke about reddit buying him out for half-priced at $10mil during an important discussion. Which, btw, would have shutdown the app also, except with a large windfall. How much of that was actually a joke vs testing the waters?

Ironically Firefox was the "un-Mozillaed" version of the Mozilla browser back in the day and Firefox was released as the lean, unbloated, very fast version of the Mozilla browser and now we have come full circle.

I have stopped using Firefox after using it daily for years because I was just so sick of their updates making things progressively worse.

Show HN: UwUFUFU, Collect data insights thru user created quizzes
Hello HN,

We have been working on this for past 2 years. Started as a side project for Twitch streamers to use for content, it has gone viral as it helps with views and chat engagement. Users from 200+ countries are organically creating quizzes. Over 3 million monthly quiz plays, x3 growth YTD. Twitch streamers, YouTubers, and TikTokers play our quizzes on their channels as it boosts views & engagement.

How UwUFUFU works:
1. Free to play, anyone can play without signup, but if you want to create a quiz need to sign up
2. Minimum subscription is $5 for more customization for quizzes, ad blocker and access to other future features.

We added subscriptions and ads to monetize, both growing 20% MoM, but even with 10+ million monthly impressions, not enough to cover server costs.

Over 900 million selection data has been accumulated and collecting more each day. While we prioritize user privacy and safeguard individual data, it's worth noting that our users consistently express their preferences by choosing between two options. This accumulation of psychographic data enables us to identify cohorts of preferences and their associated patterns.

We would like some great ideas what we can do with this data or product in general. Please keep in mind that we're not referring to individual data, but rather the collective preferences and associations that emerge from our users' choices.

We look forward to hearing your suggestions and exploring new possibilities for our product's growth and the utilization of this valuable data.
Toyota has been talking about its amazing solid state battery tech since at least 2017 and back then they thought they would have them in 2022.

And now the commercialization of these batteries is still as far away as they were back then.

And Toyota also talk about them first being used in PHEV suggesting that they expect pretty low volume at first.

Even if (and that a very big if) Toyota can have some products, with this in 2027 it will take years and years to get to a serious volume that matters in the EV market.

The problem is Toyota is not credible, they have been talking for decades but have never had any independent verification of anything. If they were a startup they would be laughed out of the room.

Car batteries and EV batteries are quite different and have different specifications. However in general yes, if Toyota really had figured out solid state technology, it might also improve phones. But they are different, it would be a lot of work both for the battery and to build a manufacturing plant for smaller batteries. In general if you have something that can break into the gigantic BEV market you don't bother with phones, its just distraction, scaling 1 cell to maximum volume is the major focus.

There are already other innovations that help improve battery tech in phones, like silicon anodes (Sila for example) that is already going into consumer electronics.

Both for consumer electronics and for cars its questionable if Solid state will ever be the correct answer and if so then when it will be dominate.
I suppose the point here is that, if you're not a member of this hypothetical tribe, then you still do need to "get a job"? This relates to property rights in a way: The members of this tribe have collective ownership, passed down through inheritance, and you don't. It's certainly true that inheriting wealth beats having to work for it.

If we imagine that life is good for hunter-gatherers -- or at least that they have individual autonomy -- then we get a way to frame the issue: The Machine easily steamrolls these people, taking their land from them, but, people born inside The Machine are enslaved to The Machine.

Maybe you were responding to my word "permissionless": You cannot actually hunt on tribal lands without permission. Makes sense. What I had in mind in the "permissionless" sentence was something more like operating an informal business in a developing country -- which appears to be common. Perhaps there are networks of patronage there too, that you don't see? Protection, security, "turf"?

Anyway, I'm not sure what the point of all this is, except for mood: OP was arguing from a sort of utopian perspective, and you insist on a more competitive, resource-limited worldview.

I think my point, that there are societies not built around large organizations and formal employment, still does stand, however. Perhaps everything is bad, but it's presumably bad in different ways.
Astonishing that it's only 2 TB…
The problem with the logical conclusion of this argument is that it’s networks all the way down. Remember verisign site finder? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_Finder

That’s the sort of crap you end up with when every network operator asserts their “right” to modify traffic.

Don’t get me wrong I do dns filtering on my home network and block public dns over http endpoints, but there is some balance to be had here imo.

Also I would not attribute https uptake to google only. A slightly less than trillion dollar organization - let’s encrypt - is really imo responsible for making https as ubiquitous as it is.

RustQuant: A library for quantitative finance tools
Hi all, just posting as I would love to get some feedback/contributions on my project `RustQuant` which is available at:

- https://crates.io/crates/RustQuant

- https://github.com/avhz/RustQuant .

It's currently just a spare-time project and I'd love any criticisms and/or suggestions.

Some features include:

- reverse mode automatic (algorithmic) differentiation.

- numerical integrator (double exponential aka. tanh-sinh).

- option pricing (closed-form, Monte-Carlo).

- stochastic process generators.

- gradient descent.

- Yahoo! Finance data downloading into Polars DataFrames.

- Some basic statistical distribution functions.

It's early stages and I hope to add more features soon.
and consulting fees!
I would love to hear some ideas about how it could be implemented without jeopardizing the security. A technical analysis, without words like "probably", "maybe". I'm fairly technical and ready to be enlightened.

And in many cases the results will be catastrophic. In other cases the people stepping up will have no idea what it actually means to moderate the subreddits of the larger sizes, and will subsequently fail.
This is a simple organizational problem with a simple solution: don’t do that. Instead, ensure everyone on the team has a production pager, and that the person responsible for work prioritization gets every single page in order that they feel the pain of that (this may well be the lead, like you say!).
