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.
I was planning to write here a short text about how, when considering whether to use AI for a task, that one should take into account not only the difficulty/complexity of the task, but also the acceptable failure rate; for instance, using an AI to suggest a recipe for dinner has an acceptable failure rate when just cooking for oneself, but would be inadvisable for a head chef preparing a state banquet for a high-profile diplomatic function, even if the two tasks are essentially of comparable difficulty (per person served, at least). But I realized that since this writing task was itself simple and with a high acceptable failure rate, it made sense to just to let an AI summarize this point directly in a table form, as enclosed below; it contains minor imperfections, but certainly suffices for the task at hand.

“This aggressive violation of our place of worship and the forceful removal of young people holding a protest group meeting clearly shows what happens when a society criminalises protest.
“Freedom of speech, assembly, and fair trials are an essential part of free public debate which underpins democracy."

Act stupid.
Hundreds of international students in the U.S. are waking up to letters informing them that their visas have been revoked due to their campus activism or engaging with “anti-national” content on social media.
This is the very definition of a First Amendment violation. I wonder how the campus free speech advocates will react?
Meanwhile. JD Vance and his wife spent only three hours in Greenland during a visit—entirely on a U.S. military base. Protests and a full business boycott forced them to leave, as locals refused to serve or admit them anywhere.

This is a great example of why the web rocks. Safari and Chrome disagreed on the spec, so we ended up with a third, better spec. This wouldn't happen if one company controlled everything: https://webkit.org/blog/16587/item-flow-part-1-a-new-unified-concept-for-layout/

is the amount of shits you give about something correlated with the amount of fucks you give about something?

✨ Intro✨
I'm Mila! I just moved instance to Helvede.
I'm 30, queer, creative, polyamorous and chronically ill.
I dabble in fermenting, baking, knitting, sewing, witchcraft and miniature painting.
I'm leftist, but I don't do well with constant exposure to bad news. If you post and boost a lot about current world events, I salute your efforts, but I may not follow you.
I'll be using mastodon like tumblr anno 2012, hoping to find some likeminded mutuals 🍄

요악하신 분에 따르면, 현실 세계의 직업은 코딩이나 수능 문제 풀기보다 훨씬 정신 사납고, 유동적이며, 목표와 우선순위가 명확하지 않기 때문에 "지금 수준"의 AI가 완전히 대처하기는 만만치 않다는 것.
