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.

Even with close confirmation I sometimes close my terminal and think "OH FUCK NO." Coming soon to Ghostty, you can undo that. 🥰 (Technical details: we keep the terminal running for a configurable time in the background before terminating for real, similar to email undo send).

(macOS only for now, AppKit APIs provide a nice undo manager implementation that eases this quite a bit. I still have to do research on GTK for Linux.)

From Tokens to Thoughts: How LLMs and Humans Trade Compression for Meaning

Humans organize knowledge into compact categories through semantic compression by mapping diverse instances to abstract representations while preserving meaning (e.g., robin and blue jay are both birds; most birds can fly). These concepts reflect a trade-off between expressive fidelity and representational simplicity. Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable linguistic abilities, yet whether their internal representations strike a human-like trade-off between compression and semantic fidelity is unclear. We introduce a novel information-theoretic framework, drawing from Rate-Distortion Theory and the Information Bottleneck principle, to quantitatively compare these strategies. Analyzing token embeddings from a diverse suite of LLMs against seminal human categorization benchmarks, we uncover key divergences. While LLMs form broad conceptual categories that align with human judgment, they struggle to capture the fine-grained semantic distinctions crucial for human understanding. More fundamentally, LLMs demonstrate a strong bias towards aggressive statistical compression, whereas human conceptual systems appear to prioritize adaptive nuance and contextual richness, even if this results in lower compressional efficiency by our measures. These findings illuminate critical differences between current AI and human cognitive architectures, guiding pathways toward LLMs with more human-aligned conceptual representations.

關於刻板印象的murmur

其實我覺得當代社會對男生還是有不少奇怪的刻板印象,因為從我還是魔術界新手的時候開始,就被學長姐要求重視形象,我大概從高中開始就因此養成了一天洗兩次澡(出門前跟回家)+用香水的習慣。

結果我跟觀眾或者是週遭親友聊到我這個習慣的時候,他們都直接沒有經過我本人同意就判定我是gay。

其實表演的時候聽到這種言論我會有點生氣,這比以貌取人更糟糕。

到底直男就應該又臭又髒是什麼奇怪的刻板印象??你們的兩性知識是從脆(thread)跟抖音學的嗎(嫌惡)

Gonna go ahead and post my passion project real quick for y'all:
github.com/ConqAra/Canvas

I finished working on this minecraft modpack for over 2 years, it’s very polished, balanced (somewhat... heh) and optimized even with the huge amount of mods. If you wanna try it for yourself or with friends follow the instructions in the readme!

If you need any more help please refer to anything within the help.rar! I heavily recommend a modloader like Prism or MultiMC!

Currently on my "ActivityPub (Mastodon) support in the Bluesky PDS" code, I'm reworking the way responses are generated. I "properly" use the Lexicons to extract PDS data now, but that made my hardcoded AP response code look ugly. Also trying out at:// links for ids. bsky.app/profile/dist...

許多國家發展麥卡錫主義,原因是共產黨的滲透性太強,這無法否認。

但是為什麼有些國家容易滲透?感覺是這個國家的既有資本主義社會有問題,容易讓人有相對剝奪感。

所以讓所得分配不要過度極化與社福的維持,也是維繫國家穩定所必須的投入。

The difference between this and what I _was_ doing is that I "stapled on" some new endpoints (i.e. initially /activitypub/, then /atpub/ once I switched to DIDs). It hadn't occurred to me that Lexicon could be flexible enough to ingest raw ActivityPub. 🤯 bsky.app/profile/dist...

A critical look at NetBSD’s installer

NetBSD is an OS that I installed only a couple of times over the years, so I’m not very familiar with its installer, sysinst. This fact was actually what led to this article (or the whole series rather): Talking to a NetBSD developer at EuroBSDcon 2023, I mentioned my impression that NetBSD was harder to install than it needed to be. He was interested in my pe
