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.

If you have ADHD, remember, your more likely to have Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, so while it may feel like everyone hates you, your brain is being mean, over emphasising anxieties, and they probably dont.

this post is also for everyone who knows someone with ADHD, as its quite a lot from the outside too, but once you know what causes their reactions, its a lot easier to understand their reactions.

The majority of the tech industry has no valid vision how to contribute to a liveable future for humanity on this planet. Their dystopian fantasies don’t match with human needs. That’s why we will keep sliding from one bubble to the next. Everything has to be artificially inflated to hide the massive abyss of meaninglessness behind it all.

사일런트힐f 뻘한데 히나코가

하나요메 모습으로 엄빠 앞에서 예를 갖춰 인사하는 장면 있잖아...

거기서 애비가 눈물 지으면서 '홀몸으로 이 집 문턱을 넘어올 생각 말라'고 하는데, 이게 동아시아인들은 신부를 축복하는 표현인 걸 알텐데 서양인들은 여기서도 폭언하는 애비라고 생각할지 궁금했다...

Paper2Video: Automatic Video Generation from Scientific Papers

Academic presentation videos have become an essential medium for research communication, yet producing them remains highly labor-intensive, often requiring hours of slide design, recording, and editing for a short 2 to 10 minutes video. Unlike natural video, presentation video generation involves distinctive challenges: inputs from research papers, dense multi-modal information (text, figures, tables), and the need to coordinate multiple aligned channels such as slides, subtitles, speech, and human talker. To address these challenges, we introduce Paper2Video, the first benchmark of 101 research papers paired with author-created presentation videos, slides, and speaker metadata. We further design four tailored evaluation metrics--Meta Similarity, PresentArena, PresentQuiz, and IP Memory--to measure how videos convey the paper's information to the audience. Building on this foundation, we propose PaperTalker, the first multi-agent framework for academic presentation video generation. It integrates slide generation with effective layout refinement by a novel effective tree search visual choice, cursor grounding, subtitling, speech synthesis, and talking-head rendering, while parallelizing slide-wise generation for efficiency. Experiments on Paper2Video demonstrate that the presentation videos produced by our approach are more faithful and informative than existing baselines, establishing a practical step toward automated and ready-to-use academic video generation. Our dataset, agent, and code are available at https://github.com/showlab/Paper2Video.

Don't be a fool (like I was) when it comes to on . I ignored them despite using FreeBSD for decades, because I had no problem that could not be solved w/o them and thought "why learn yet another technology I barely need".

But it's not only about solving problems. It gives you a super lightweight and fast tool to test things (and trashing 🗑️ them with zfs destroy) without cluttering your configs or interfering with production services.

E.g. I hesitated to run a webserver for publishing content because I didn't want a publicly accessible Apache on my mail relays, nor on my Nextcloud instance at home.

With jails, the MX is left unmodified. If I feel like it I could move it to a different system just using tar or cpio or zfs send.

All I needed to accomplish that was a few shell scripts to initially generate a jail template and, of course, the invaluable book "FreeBSD Mastery: Jails" of @mwlMichael W Lucas :flan_on_fire: .

What motivated me to get started? All the
speakers at showing what incredible things they do with Jails. Especially >>IMUNES: A Network Emulation and Simulation Tool Built on FreeBSD<<.

If you want to watch the IMUNES talk you can find the link on my jailed webserver 😉 here pub.v32bis.cc/eurobsdcon.html

网友担心“二次放号”风险】10月11日,有网友发帖称,自己在使用新办的手机号注册网易云音乐时,收到验证码后自动登录上了已故歌手李玟的账号。登录后,该网友还能在账号后台看到粉丝们发来的怀念私信。在社交平台,不少网友表示,自己也遇到新办理的手机号,存在各种“遗留”问题。
对于如何解决“二次放号后遗症”,独立电信分析师付亮给出了一些建议。首先,运营商加长这类回收号码的空置期。“目前‘二次放号’前的空置期是3个月,运营商是否可以考虑延长空置期,这在一定程度上可以减少再次放号后被骚扰的概率。
其次,主流应用之间实现克制的“打通”。“这种打通不是用户信息共享,而是服务规则打通,比如很多应用都支持微信支付,如果一个账号在3个月之内没有使用记录,就必须重新登录一下,否则视为解绑。这样可以避免用户拿到新号之后发现某些应用已经被注册过了。”
有分析认为,李玟账号被登录事件虽然是个案,但也折射出数字时代账号安全与数字遗产管理的普遍问题。平台方应加强账号安全机制,强化技术防护与应急响应,用户应该提高安全意识等。唯有如此,才能让虚拟空间中的记忆与尊重得到妥善守护。更多内容请查看原文>> :sys_link: 网页链接 sohu.com/a/943142295_338398

[Anekdot.]

Mein Einsatz war im Vorlauf Wochen zuvor Coaching in für ein Paar, das auf dem Schiff seinen 50. Hochzeitstag feierte mit kleinem Auftritt 🤗

Danach gaben mein Partner + ich eine Mini-Einführ. in Tango Argentino noch während der Fahrt, also auf wankendem Boot 😄
Interesse war wider Erwarten groß!

~60 Gäste, multikulturell: UK, D, Spanien, Südamerika. Intensives Gespräch über chilen. Folklore geführt. War schöner Tag!

An Bord eines Schiffes unter Deck: ein tanzendes Paar in Bildmitte. Drumherum schauen interessierte Personen stehend und sitzend dem Tanzpaar zu. Ihre Gesichter sind unkenntlich gemacht. Fenster zur linken und rechten Bildseite geben den Blick auf ein Gewässer frei.An Bord eines Schiffes unter Deck: Mehrere Personen versuchen sich in die Schritte des Tangotanzes. Man sieht viele Beine. Gesichter sind unkenntlich gemacht. Am Boden eine Plane, auf der Fußschritte in blau und rosa markiert sind mit Buchstaben "R" für rechts und "L" für links.

As my burnout sabbatical from tech work goes on, I’ve been reaching out to more and more people I’ve thought of as friendly colleagues, and the conversations invariably, by the other party, turn to LLM coding agents, and I’m hearing a constant refrain

their belief comes down to: If you value ethics more than productivity, you do not belong in tech

we’re halfway through the decade of “hold my beer” and the past year has been particularly disillusioning, but this in particular, especially coming from people who’ve mentored me or whom I’ve particularly gelled with, has felt like an ongoing gut-punch

‘There’s nothing to look forward to’

Standing in front of the ruins of his house in Gaza City, Mahmoud Abo Emeira was devastated at the scale of the destruction and suffering.

“This place alone makes you feel heartbroken, so imagine your house, your memories, your work, your school, your whole world being destroyed,” he said.

“There’s nothing to look forward to,” Abo Emeira added.
