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.

Regarding the last couple boosts: among other downsides, LLMs encourage people to take long-term risks for perceived, but not always actual, short-term gains. They bet the long-term value of their education on a chance at short-term grade inflation, or they bet the long-term security and maintainability of their software codebase on a chance at short-term productivity gains. My read is that more and more data is suggesting that these are bad bets for most people.

In that respect they're very much like gambling. The messianic fantasies some ChatGPT users have been experiencing fits this picture as well.

If you use "AI agents" (LLMs calling tools in a loop) you need to be aware of the Lethal Trifecta

Any time you combine access to private data, exposure to untrusted content and the ability to externally communicate an attacker can trick the system into stealing your data simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/

tl;dr billionaires are the stupidest people

“In October, Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, said the solution to the climate crisis was to use more energy: Since we aren’t going to meet our climate goals anyway, we should pump energy into AI that might one day evolve to solve the problem for us.”

そういえばDuckDuckGoのHTML版の検索結果のリンクがエントロピーが高そうなパラメタが仕込まれているリダイレクトページなのは何故なのかと思っていたのだけど、改めて調べたところリダイレクトページはリファラ対策で(<duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help>)、パラメタはopen redirect対策らしい(<news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3>)。

しかし"On modern browsers […]"とあるけど、Firefox Developer Edition 140.0はモダンではないのか……?

Productivity traps engineers fall into willingly:

• Event sourcing for a To-Do app
• Planning for scale with 100 users
• Service meshes for 3 microservices
• 1-hour "architectural" meetings with no diagrams
• "Future-proof" abstractions
• Following FAANG blog advice when you're a 3-person startup

Been there, done some of these. 😅

‘성별 불쾌감’(젠더 디스포리아)을 치료하기 위한 호르몬 치료제를 구하기까지 여전히 높은 장벽이 존재한다는 지적이 나옵니다. 병원 처방이 필수적이지만, ‘아우팅’에 대한 두려움과 병원의 저조한 인식 탓에 불법적인 경로로 약을 구하고, 건강을 위협받는 상황에까지 내몰리는 것입니다.

‘아우팅 당할까봐’…성소수자 호르몬치료제 위험한 구매
