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.
We might actually see some freezing temps here. I'm going to have to harvest my aji rojo chiles and prune the plant back so I can bring it indoors. I've probably got a pound or two of these small red chilies. Aji Rojo isn't spicy but otherwise tastes like a habanero. They keep well but I'm not going to eat them all before they go bad. What should I do with them? #food #chiles #peppers #gardening #preserving
🌖 西雅圖人人厭惡 AI？
➤ AI 陰影下的西雅圖科技業：從機會到怨懟的轉變
✤ https://jonready.com/blog/posts/everyone-in-seattle-hates-ai.html
作者分享在西雅圖推廣其 AI 產品 Wanderfugl 時，遇到的普遍負面反應，與其他地區的熱情迴異。他剖析此現象源於當地科技公司（特別是微軟）因 AI 裁員、被迫使用成效不彰的 AI 工具，以及技術人員感到自身被邊緣化、能力不足的怨懟與恐懼。這種負面循環阻礙了創新，讓工程師與公司陷入停滯。
+ 身為微軟前員工，我完全能體會這種感受。Copilot 365 確實讓人抓狂，很多時候比手動還慢，但我們卻被迫使用。
+ 這篇文章說出了很多人的心聲。在西雅圖，談到 AI 好像就等於失業或能力不足，整個氣氛都很壓抑。

The “Works on My Machine” Certification Program
Joseph Cooney had a brilliant idea for a new application certification program. But Vista’s bland white-on-gray badge, in my opinion, doesn’t properly communicate the... authoritative... nature of said program. With the help of Jon Galloway, we zazzed things up a bit: You might think attaining such a prestigious,

I'm willing to entertain the idea that there are benefits to be had from LLM-assisted engineering--though the arguments from proponents tend to be along the lines of "you're holding it wrong" (i.e., using the wrong tools, models, workflows, prompts, etc...)
But I really enjoyed this post by 
@vossisbossMeagen Voss that focuses on the process of writing.
Folks who don't enjoy writing might think that the object of documenting something is to transfer meaning from point A to point B (their brain to the reader's brain), and I can see the allure of a shortcut (time-wise) provided by an LLM.
But for those of us who enjoy writing--and particularly enjoy expressing our "voice", along with our own biases, humor, perspective, and overall nuance--LLM-assisted writing is a complete drudge.
It will never be about using better tools, better models, better prompts... No matter how much context you feed into the machine, the extrusion will always converge somewhere between average and dull. Because whatever comes out... it will never be "you".

What I'm listening to today: "Raised by Dope", Bruiser Wolf
Bruiser Wolf, sometime billy woods collaborator, is probs the most unique rapper I know of operating today, with a crafted, incredibly distinct flow I literally don't know how to describe except "AM Radio". Not sure if that makes sense. It's ike if Juvenile's weird cadence on "Ha" were an entire career. Here, lush hip-hop crafted from a sadly-long-lost form of 80s R&B. Birthed a style that you couldn't conceive
What I'm listening to today: "Drummertime and Brainstep Jam 1", Tubbutec
YouTube account for a modular synth company posts a demo of their modules. Process-wise the most interesting thing here is a 808/Volca style performance sequencer/drum machine made with computer-keyboard keycaps and fit to the 1U space on an Intellijel. Musically the standout is some *really* freaky glide that turns some competent but standard acid into something really odd sounding.

Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.
Your `pip` unwrapped 🎇
- you tried to install `requirements.txt` 18 times this year. Doing better than last year!
- of the packages you installed 67% started with py, 11% python, and 6% Py. You guessed wrong 85 times.
- your love for building source has no bounds, except maybe the 92 failed compiles
- you updated `requests` 18 times. Urllib is feeling lonely.
- the average time between updating `pip` was 97 days. But we warned you 338 times!

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.
But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.
Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.
If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.

Not content with vast wealth, many become intoxicated by the notion of ever more, and the need to control everyone in fear of losing any. And few step back and see the toxic madness in such a poisoned existence.

I think the privacy topic is directly related to corporations thinking they're entitled to harvest alllllll the personal information.
And then replace actual human creativity with mediocre AI summaries.
Privacy is foundational in contrast to the current trends of digital exploitation.
Though, I do think it's absurd that they think they will ever be innovative by switching to a product that can only lie and spit out indiscriminate averages.

First biscochitos of the season! As a New Mexican, I'm supposed to say that my mom's biscochitos were always the best. They were very good, but she liked to use a lot of bourbon instead of the more traditional sherry. It wasn't my favorite flavor. These biscochitos from Garcia's are probably just as good.
