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.

내란청산·사회대개혁 비상행동(비상행동)이 2025년 2월10일~3월6일 자체 인터넷 공론장(‘천만의 연결’)에 기록된 651건의 시민 발언을 분석한 결과, ‘차별금지와 인권보장’(31%)이 1위로 꼽혔다. 등록 2025-04-19 14:52 h21.hani.co.kr/arti/society...

Apparently the arXiv* is relocating from servers at Cornell University to Google Cloud. Putting all our eggs into Google's basket seems unwise, especially at this point in history.

This jobs listing gives a number of reasons for moving to the cloud, but to my inexpert eye it looks like they could do everything they want to do while remaining self-hosted. At the relatively modest scale of the arXiv the cloud really is just someone else's computer.

info.arxiv.org/hiring/index.ht

It's worth noting that the arXiv used to have a network of mirrors, but they decided to shut down the last of those in September of last year. The explanation was that they were no longer worthwhile as the Cornell servers + CDN delivered better performance than the regional mirrors: info.arxiv.org/help/mirrors.ht

The multi-site (and multi-country) backup provided by those mirrors does not appear to have been a consideration, because of course nothing bad would ever happen to an American university.

*The arXiv is a repository providing free access to pre-prints of academic papers in a range of fields across physics, maths, biology, computer science, etc. In some fields, including astronomy, it is the main way that researchers keep up to date with new publications in their area of research.

My parents are 1st gen computing adepts in my country. Dad used to insist in my childhood that computers do exactly, precisely what you told them to do and if you have unexpected result you have to figure out what's wrong with your ask. It was a struggle, but once you figured out the correct asks, you could do anything.

Now, with the "smart" interfaces trying to "understand" what you meant I've completely lost that feeling. Everything is shrouded in obfuscation, unavailable for my real needs.

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/migration/9.6#superclass-expansion-is-more-conservative

내가 9.4 -> 9.6 마이그레이션에서 겪고 있는 문제가 이거랑 관련이 있는거 같은데(확실치 않음)... 9.4에서는 c :: Type -> Constraint 일때 forall c. c Int 뭐 이런 조건이 있으면, 모든 c에 대해 c Int가 존재하는게 말이 안되는데도 실제로 c Int 꼴로 쓰이는 c만 고려해서 타입체크를 통과시켜줬던거 같다(이것도 확실하지 않음). 근데 9.6에선 당연히 거부당한다.

위의 내 이해가 맞다면 9.4의 constraint solving 완전 무근본이었단건데, 이건 또 믿기 어렵다(하스켈의 설계 결정에 대한 신뢰 유지한다고 하면). 어디서 내가 잘못 파악한거지.

신안산선 공사현장 붕괴 우려가 나온 뒤 실제로 터널이 무너지기 전까지 천장이 계속 내려앉고 있었던 걸 확인할 수 있는 보고서를 YTN이 입수했습니다. 전문가들은 이런 경우 붕괴 위험이 클 수밖에 없다고 지적하는데, 경찰은 시공사가 작업을 강행한 건 아닌지 집중 조사하고 있습니다. www.ytn.co.kr/_ln/0103_202...

[단독] 터널 천장 내려앉는데도 보강공사 추진 정황.....

人事部同事:老實說啊,為什麼大家都想來日本住呢?明明日本這邊稅又貴,又常常地震,不覺得很不好住嗎?

我:地震先不說,其他部分現在去哪都一樣啊 :blobcat_frustration:

人事部同事:欸....?真假?

I deleted my previous post on Eric Schmidt's testimony before Congress of the energy needs of AI. As @rra𝓻𝓻𝓪 pointed out, the article from futurism.com I referred to misquoted Schmidt. (Sorry for the orphaned replies.)

Below is the actual transcript. It's 9% (rather than 99%) of total energy generation. To meet this demand by nuclear power alone, 67 more nuclear power plants would have to become operational within the next 5 years.

"Now, just to do the translation, an average nuclear power plant in the United States is one gigawatt. How many nuclear power plants can we make in one year while we're planning this 10 gigawatt data center? It gives you a sense of how big this crisis is. Many people think that the demand of energy part that our industry takes will go from 3% to 9% of total generation. One of the estimates that I think is most likely is that data centers will require an additional 29 gigawatts of power by 2027 and 67 more gigawatts by 2030. Gives you a sense of the scale that we're talking. These things are industrial at a scale I have never seen in my life in the terms of energy planning. The current model is mostly natural gas peaker plants plus renewables, and that's probably going to be the path we're going to have to follow to get there."
