What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

In 2025, the home delivery program at efoodnet.org -- which I've been working with for years -- delivered 395,200 pounds of food to families and shut-ins across the county. This is just a small piece of the good they do.

If you've got a buck or two to spare and toss it their way, I'd be immensely grateful.

Being an example of kindness, care, and attitude for your neighbors is a primo form of resistance, and shows contrast with the heartless folks spreading hate and violence.

With being down so much lately, just a reminder that you can use "ollama launch claude" to run the same great claude code cli with the local or hosted model of your choice. ollama.com/blog/launch

The support three or more really good models like qwen3-coder next and kimi-2.5k which is a really good model too.

one thing the web should have evolved by now is a portable non-centralised way to verifiably assert "I am the owner of <email address>" because this is clearly necessary for loads of things and approximately nobody does a good job of implementing it

this might have been what mozilla persona and original openid were basically. unfortunately those got kicked aside in favour of, at best, outsourcing your password table

I just

I'm not actually in the habit of reading academic research papers like this. Is it normal to begin these things by confidently asserting your priors as fact, unsupported by anything in the study?

I suppose I should do the same, because there's no way it's not going to inform my read on this

"AI" is not actually a technology, in the way people would commonly understand that term.

If you're feeling extremely generous, you could say that AI is a marketing term for a loose and shifting bundle of technologies that have specific useful applications.

I am not feeling so generous.

AI is a technocratic political project for the purpose of industrializing knowledge work. The details of how it works are a distant secondary concern to the effect it has, which is to enclose and capture all knowledge work and make it dependent on capital.

강강은 오랜 팬들이 얘기하기론 90년대까지는 방향성 명확한 잡지였다고 하는데, 갑자기 정통 '소년만화'를 하겠다고 나서면서 기존 간판작들은 맥가든으로 이적하고(AQUA가 이적해서 ARIA로 된다거나) 강강 새 연재작들은 거의 다 실패하고... 그러다가 갑자기 어떤 신인 만화가가 강철의 연금술사를 꺼내온 거에요.

With more and more Apple indie devs going all-in on LLMs I’m losing yet another thing I want to support on these platforms :(

(I don’t need any snark, thanks. For now I just wanna be sad about this, as this has been a community for me since the 1980s)

ビア鯖に古くから伝わる有名な格言のグッズを作ろうと思ってるんですけれど、でかいケツで解決は英語でBig booty does the duty.に、少し漏らせばより長く我慢できるはLeak a bit, last a lot.でほぼ決まりなんですけれど配置とか難しくて

뭔가 그래서 내 짧은 식견에 따른 인상으로는
- 점프: 여성 독자를 정말 의식하고 2차창작으로 착즙할만한 여지를 정말 많이 만들어둠 (하지만 높으신 분들이 그렇게 여성 친화적이지는 않음)
- 매거진: 여성 독자들을 전혀 의식하지 않고 꿋꿋이 남자 중학생 같은 만화가 많음
- 챔피언: 정말 작가님의 성향에 모든 것을 맡김
- 선데이: 이쪽도 작가님에게 맡기는 편이지만 상업적으로 안전한 선택을 많이 함
- 강강: 남성에게 어필을 하고 싶어하지만 취향이 깊은(…) 여성의 취향만 계속 타격함
- 덴게키: 팔릴 것 같은 인터넷 만화들을 잡아오는 느낌 그렇지만 주 대상은 남성이고 여성이나 퀴어는 어쩌다 운 좋게 걸릴 뿐이다

소위 '3대 소년만화' 중에서도 마가진은 유독 느낌이 다른데... 초기부터 주 독자층이 '소년'보다 높았고 괴기 극화 열혈 양키 같은 장르에 편중되어 오다 보니 그 특징 상당수가 지금 와서는 젠더적으로 지독한 부분이 많죠... 경쟁잡지 선데이 '명탐정 코난'와 마가진 '소년탐정 김전일'의 방향 차이가 그걸 잘 드러내주는 듯 해요.

Anthropic’s new paper _opens_ with a completely unsupported and barely defined chunk of politically convenient investor-fluffing that isn’t even the subject of the damn paper, and all I can do is imagine @grimalkinaCat Hicks snarling that it’s whiskey and adrenochrome o’clock

님들아 블루스카이를 경배하라 우리가 흔히 블스화질저하라고 알고있는 강제압축 (CDN 최적화)과정을 거치면서 기존 이미지 대비 생성형 AI 이미지가 동일 퀄리티로 더 잘 압축되는 경향이 있다고 합니다 = 용량 작아짐 AI 이미지는 컴퓨터가 인식할때 노이즈가 없는 매끄러운 상태로 출력되므로 동일 퀄리티로 보여도 실제 그림보다 용량이 훨 작아진다 하네요 그리고 jpg 변환과정에서 해당효과가 크게 나타나는데 이 역시 블스가 자동으로 해주고, 10%씩 압축을 반복하기 때문에 타 플랫폼 대비 용량으로 이미지 구분이 가능하다고 합니다

Blacksky has already built their own ATProto stack that's fully independent from Bluesky.

Now Eurosky is making progress as they roll out their own PDS.

I see more independent infrastructure springing up on atp.fyi/network, including AppViews.

For anyone hoping that we'll get another wave of people coming to the fediverse once Bluesky folds/enshittifies, that might not necessarily be the case as people will have more options to stay in the Atmosphere.
