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.
Heute war ein Schulfest. Da gab es einen Quizstand. Eins underer Kinder (9) wollte schummeln, kam zu mir und bat, ob ich "schnell bei ChatGPT" nachfragen könne nach der Frage, ob die Legislative in den USA im Weißen Haus oder im Capitol sitze. Danach folgten weitere solcher Fragen. (Edit: Das Quiz warn nicht für 9jährige, sondern einfach ein Stand auf dem Hof, wo vor allem größere Kinder waren, aber kleinere Kinder turnten da rum und wollten auch mitmachen).
Wir haben später nochmal über diese Situation gesprochen. Ich habe gefragt, warum es nach ChatGPT gefragt hat. Die Erklärung war, dass der Lehrer bei einer Frage vorher mit den Kindern die Lösung mit Google und ChatGPT "gesucht" habe und nur ChatGPT hat sie richtig gewusst.
Kleine Anekdote, aber da steckt viel drin. Ich habe nochmal erklärt, was eine Suche mit Google eigentlich ist und das Google keine Antworten liefert bzw. eigentlich liefern sollte und dass sie eventuell ein Versuch einer KI gesehen haben, die dafür bekannt ist, besonders schlecht zu sein. Aber auch, dass ChatGPT gar keine Wissensdatenbank ist und halluzinieren kann. Das Kind war stark irritiert davon, weil im Sprachalltag von Kinder, Schule, Medien ChatGPT quasi als Superpower imaginiert wird und überhaupt nicht klar ist, dass ChatGPT nicht dafür da ist, um Wissensfragen zu beantworten.
Wir konnten das jetzt klären, aber sonst wird das wohl nicht geklärt. Das macht mich nicht besonders glücklich. Ich habe in den letzten Jahren nun schon mehrfach kurze Medienunterrichtseinheiten an den Schulen der Kinder zu Computer-nahen Themen gemacht. Aber das ist eben nur ein Tropfen auf den heißen Stein. Das läuft wirklich extrem schief gerade. Und hier ist auch nochmal eine Alterslinie erkennbar: Je jünger die Kinder, desto selbstverständlicher sind für sie LLMs in der Lebensumgebung, während die älteren Kinder sie als "neu" auch eher skeptisch betrachten.

Healthcare exchanges in Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island shared users’ sensitive health data with companies like Google and LinkedInGoogle is an illegal monopoly, losing three different antitrust cases in the US over the last few years. None of us should be sending them data anymore, let alone state-run services.
Maine’s exchange, CoverME.gov, sent information on drug prescriptions and dosages to Google through an analytics tool. It also sent the names of doctors and hospitals that people had previously visited.

Let's say I like and trust the mastodon.social moderation team and their choices, but I'm thinking about setting up a self-hosted server (I was thinking GoToSocial) for technical/personal reasons. Is there a way to configure a Mastodon server so that all moderation decisions are just plain delegated to another server? Like at least in terms of "federate with this server, softblock this server, defederate this server", have it just follow what mastodon.social was doing.
The reason Texas is part of the USA is that Mexico made slavery illegal.
Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.
That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).
Freedom is always worth fighting for.

Hey #Mastodon #Fediverse nerds: has anyone mapped federation topology yet?

mastodon's current fuckup with their terms of service seems to be unique to mastodon. who thought it was a good idea to maintain "template terms of services" on software used internationally?

Ok, we have a clamp() function. Take any value and clamp it between a min and max.
But what if we had an un-clamp() function? Take any value, and imagine if it was unconstrained. What value *could* it be instead, living it's best authentic life? No responsibilities - no mortgage, and no boss.
Let your CSS values explore their true passion with un-clamp().
Wouldn't it be amazing if all FOSS projects - and plenty of other types of community projects too - had access to the right kind of high quality legal advice, as and when needed, for all their various needs.
Particularly since legal aspects of projects can have wide-reaching ramifications.
But, in my experience, as a lawyer who helps various projects pro bono when I have time - that's just not the case.
There are far more projects in need of legal support than there are lawyers willing and able to work for free / at very low rates.
deleted my ICE at dodger stadium post because I don’t have any reporting of my own and seeing some reports ICE was denied entry there. Not sure if the photos are from today/show what people are saying they show so holding off for now

@vitloksbjorn I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
This one weird thing can help protect you and your family from:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Dementia
- And more!
What is it, you ask?
Avoiding Covid!
Why is it a weird thing, you ask?
Well, I can't help you there. Why is it considered weird to protect ourselves from a deadly and disabling virus, indeed.
Ah and now for the one Rust thing I really loathe: Turning a command line tool into a workspace containing a command line tool paired with a library that can be included by other . The main reason I love Rust is the incredibly low friction and this one task is HIGH FRICTION and there are too many ways to do it, none of them quite satisfying
Saw some blog post talking about "lessons from AI programming", and there was a whole section about treating agentic AI like an "intern". The whole point of internships is it's for the *intern's benefit*! It's so the intern gets work experience! An internship shouldn't be synonymous with mindless gruntwork!
...obviously I get that internships are widely abused, and a lot of people treat junior devs poorly. But it’s depressing seeing people just be open about it.

Also #UNOpenSourceWeek 2025 is taking place in New York, so make sure to tune into the online live video streams if that interests you!

This Juneteenth—let us remember that human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. The US Govt government paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the Black enslaved, was legal. Do not let legality be a measure of morality or justice.

The Fediverse is a great idea in theory, in practice its user hostility will perennially hold it back from mass adoption. Especially as many of its proponents consider gaps like lack of algorithmic discovery of content or people to follow as features not bugs.
It’s Linux on the desktop of social apps.

Steam just added screen reader support in the latest Big Picture Mode beta. On the Deck. On SteamOS. On Linux.
Not hacked in. Not community-patched. Built-in. From Valve.
There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.
Let’s make some noise so they keep going.

ironic that we live in a time where everybody owns a computer with a mandatory button that spawns a supposed "magical genie", except for computer witches & wizards who specifically do *not* have such a button anywhere, nor do they wish to have one
@lritterLeonard Ritter obviously if you're a witch/wizard you don't need a magic button to do magic

There are "vibes" and you find a "vibe" by browsing hashtags and finding ones that start in #vibe-whatever and once enough people skeet with #vibe-whatever in a time window or total times, then itll be made w/the system. We create communities by engagement.
