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.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Wow, what an excellent point! Reply guys can indeed be a quite challenging problem! As a large language model, I'm unable to reply to any comments. However, you are able to copy and paste the text I produce into a reply.

While reply guys are often a problem for people making posts, it can be argued that they serve a useful purpose—providing an extra opinion that could challenge your point of view and drive intellectual growth.

Here is a list of pros and cons of reply guys:

Pros

  • Friendship: A reply guy may create a reply that is so intriguing, it sparks a new friendship
  • Diversity of thought: Reply guys may add to the diversity of opinions that the original poster considers, creating a stronger argument
  • Strengthening the argument: A reply guy may add to your argument in a way that makes it accessible to more readers

Cons

  • Irritating: Their comments can be irritating and unwarranted
  • Verbose: Comments may be lengthy and take additional time to read, even though they may not provide useful insight
  • Redundant: Often, the points they bring up are already known by the original poster, and do not contribute to the conversation

この記事を引いた早尾貴紀先生のFBの投稿が重要だったので全文転載します。

(早尾貴紀先生の投稿)
「パレスチナ・ガザ住民、半数が他地域移住を希望」、まさにこれこそがイスラエルの狙い。

虐殺と飢餓で極限まで追い詰めて、追い詰めて、追い詰めて、最後に「死か移住か、どちらか好きな方を選べ」と迫る。そこで「移住」を選べばそれは「自発的選択」と言われる。
(1948年のナクバについても「自発的避難」と言われてきたことを思い起こそう。)

国際社会は、善意で支援として移住のサポートをする、費用を負担する。
イスラエルは「ジェノサイドも追放もしていない」と言い張る。イスラエルは何も費用を負担しない。

そうしてイスラエルは更地化したガザ地区を手に入れる。
その同様の手法で西岸地区も一掃することに着手する。

何度も書いてきたけれど、これは、2023年10月7日の前から検討されてきた既定路線だ。
サラ・ロイは、2008年12月の大規模ガザ攻撃の直前にこう警告していた。「ガザ地区が陥落すれば、次は西岸地区の番だ」と(サラ・ロイ『ホロコーストからガザへ』青土社)。

The terrifying thing about "AI" isn't the technology itself, but what it's revealed about so many of our fellow humans.

It was bad enough that people think learning, skill, and craftsmanship are a waste of time.

Now they believe *existing* can be automated.

@muhkayohMatt Jordan @vvvivi 💫 @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber yeah as a college student right now I've seen a few fellow students rapidly lose their ability to understand and do basic things in their field. Once a friend who's a computer science major got the exact same error message that I had dealt with before so I explained what the issue was and how to fix it, and I watched him ignore what I said, copy and paste into ChatGPT, copy and paste the result into his code, and get more errors (rinse and repeat). I truly fear for the future of the world

Yes, prompt engineering is critical for them as it will be their life within the next 10 years, so that is valuable in and of itself.

When a person looks into something they understand, their prompts will tend to be more focused on what they need, but also their prompts will generally show clear paths toward the information. Please note I am not talking about a single prompt, but the entire chain of prompts.

So apparently nearly all students cheat with AI chatbots now and basically aren't learning anything nymag.com/intelligencer/articl

I'm grateful I got my education before these tools were available.

Still, part of this might be that education might be best if it's not actually based around grading, but working with students to actually be excited about learning

But there's no way such a worldview will be rolled out in time to survive this

and experts, I'm curious to know if anyone has attempted to create a Fediverse instance as an Onion Service.

I understand that server-to-server communications in ActivityPub use HTTPS POST. So I imagine the sticking point would be routing server-to-server communications over the Tor network from, say, mastodon.social to valencia.onion.

Is this a problem with a trivial solution? Or perhaps an intractable one?

@puppygirlhornypost2Amber you may notice that my third paragraph in my post here aligns with what you're talking about:

> Still, part of this might be that education might be best if it's not actually based around grading, but working with students to actually be excited about learning

In a funny sense, hyperfocused special interests might actually be the best way to learn things anymore

@cwebber@social.coopChristine Lemmer-Webber Like I can go on about how fucked up education is and how yeah it doesn't surprise me at all that students are able to do their work with a shitty chat bot. the work was never something that engaged students and made them want to learn. I suck at math, the only reason I'm kinda good at it is because I watched youtube videos from khan academy and other sources that actually made it engaging to learn. I found it funny when my AP world history teacher would turn on the crash course from John Green https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylWORyToTo4 (these) for each unit. We have so many forms of media that we can learn from and education just... hasn't caught on. you know, watching videos like numberphile seeing people actually engage in math in more than just this monotone "oh you solve for x by moving the equation around". Seeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuA2EAgAegE and actually being excited to see e in my classwork... Education just serves everything in this sterile environment and we lost that passion. My trig/precalc teacher was a first year teacher and it was so fucking horrible watching her become more and more shut in and less energetic about things because of pressure from the district and just the students treating her bad (my school district is known for its test scores, that's all they focus on. my junior year of english was literally just focusing on the ACT/SAT English rules).

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I can confirm, as head of an associate degree(full online)that it's like that, and (exaggerating) while the previous generation couldn't read a book, the new TikTok generation can't even watch a video of more than 30s.
And not because they can't learn but because they don't know that they can.

I think that the culprit is the basic school system that doesn't teach to learn, to ask, to fail; then kids focus in the wrong goal which are grades instead of acquiring knowledge and experience.

We're happy to know that the creators of the Go European 🇪🇺 platform have recently joined the Fediverse! Better late than never! 😊

They and all volunteers do a great job, and their platform is an amazing resource for finding all kinds of European alternatives for products and services. (not only digital ones)

They have 89 followers on Instagram, 59 on Facebook and 258 in LinkedIn. They deserve more, no?

And we can do so much better here on the Fediverse, right? 😀

Welcome and follow them here: @go_european

If I hear one more person talk about “putting our brightest people toward solving climate change”, I will scream.

Climate change is not some deep mystery waiting for a scientific breakthrough: we know exactly what causes it and how we address that. We have SOLVED climate change.

The problem is not “finding the solution”, the problem is convincing literally anyone in power that the solution is better than building billionaire bunkers in new zealand.

@ocdtrekkie @jfredJonathan Frederickson @sandstorm

You might have a look at opportunities with @ngisargasso part of @ngiNGI Outreach Office as well as the @nlnet theme funds, many of whom you can participate in without being an EU resident.

There is going to be a new direction for the Horizon Europe program, I think focusing more on the whole supply line, which may bring more opportunities esp. for projects like . I should read up myself on that, but haven't found the good info yet.
