What is Hackers' Pub?

A puzzle game called "Circuit Heat" that I made in 2003 just popped up on PC Format 161, alongside a version of Sticky Balls by The Pickford Bros. @stepickford

Of course, now I remember making it, but prior to today I had forgotten all about it! https://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/42140/PCF161DVD_05_04/PCF161DVD_05_04.ISO/Gamemaker/Blitz%20Research%20Demo%20Disk/DemoDisk1%20Files/Puzzle/CircuitHeat

Are you tired of bots looking for random PHP files on your #Django side project? Unhappy that hackers are looking for Wordpress admin pages on your Python app?

Well, do I have a solution for you! (if you use Cloudflare for your DNS)

Just released 0.1.0 of dj-waf 🙅

A way to easily add WAF rules to Cloudflare from your #Django app.

What I listened to today: "JPEG" / "CODE", Nadaj

Jungle will never die, Jungle is eternal. 2020 and there is still an infinite amount of jungle yet to create. There were people making jungle in 2020 who are young enough to have listened to the "Twilight" soundtrack a hundred times. From 2020-2022 some splintered D&B in the classic mode, smooth then rough.

These tracks are unrelated except I accidentally discovered they flow real well together

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies.

There’s a lot of political commentary about Marjorie Taylor Greene resigning, but one important point is this: she entered Congress in 2021 with an estimated net worth of about $700,000, and is leaving in 2025 with a net worth of roughly $25 million.

The Trump regime wants to start making a list of Jews (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/us/eeoc-university-pennsylvania-antisemitism-jewish.html). Now where have I heard that one before?

My friend seems genuinely baffled that I am an AI researcher who refuses to use AI! Not only that, but I argue against it from theory, not experience. Why don't I just give it a try for a while, and see what it's really about before I judge it?

I guess I see where he's coming from. Part of the problem is the word "AI." LLMs are not my research focus, so it's less of a contradiction than it sounds. But I admit, being a non-user makes my arguments against LLMs less credible.

I just don't understand why I owe it to anybody to give AI a shot. I know how LLMs work in gory detail, and I don't trust them. I've seen the mediocre work they produce. I've read studies about the seductive illusion of competence and caring they create, and how people fall for that. I know it's all built on an incredibly exploitative business model.

I feel entirely justified in not giving them a chance. I guess I'm just as baffled by how badly he wants me to try it, and how sure he seems to be that it would change my mind.

A M5.5 earthquake killed at least ten people in Bangladesh today. What made this moderate event so deadly? And what do we know about seismic hazards in the country?
