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.
@simonSimon Willison Have you looked at Fara-7B? I’m wondering if I missed a comment from you. It claims to operate as a local only computer use model at the pixel level.
Fascinating story from a software dev Fedi friend, shared with permission to keep it anonymous:
❝A couple of days ago, I had an experience at work that made me understand one of the reasons why the chasm of opinion about LLMs is so deep and wide.
My department mostly does fiddly lowlevel work, [close to hardware]. A few of us don't use LLMs at all, a few use them sparingly, and one member is absolutely all-in. So during one of our morning meetings he suddenly started going off on a deeply disturbing diatribe about how we need to treat the LLMs “like slaves”.❞

Since we’re gonna be around all day to read, respond, and boost stuff on the fediverse… what are YOUR favorite things about GNOME? 👀
@andreasioAndreas this is one of the many reasons GNOME has moved to using Nautilus itself as the file chooser.
GTK apps using the native file chooser API will automatically use the system’s file chooser, which is Nautilus on GNOME, elementary Files on elementary OS, even the native Windows or macOS file picker on those platforms. It makes for a more consistent experience over all.

I'm trying to understand the finer details of building #container images for my #Python applications. My preffered way of building applications now is with `COPY . /app` followed by `pip install /app`, and I just realised that I can use `RUN --mount=type=bind,source=src,target=/app pip install /app` instead. Are there good reasons to not do this?

I was interviewed about how media can use new social platforms
Happy that they explicitly mention why I do this work: sure, big tech bad, but the main point is that social media are collective sense making tools, and thats what makes them so extraordinarily valuable

おめでとう!!
