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.

Seeing all of the Flock posts lately got me wondering: is there a privacy-preserving way to accomplish the public benefit of traffic/speed cameras (reducing speeding and red light running) without also turning them into blanket ALPR spies tracking where everyone goes?

The best idea I came up with is a split system architecture that treats the camera as adversarial.

the timer app on ios has a "recents" list, which is admittedly helpful and good UX, but it's also kind of fundamentally absurd, like "here are some durations that have been of interest to you lately"

Some great thoughts for pair programming with agents by Nick Radcliffe: checkeagle.com/checklists/njr/

Best set of quotes:
> So it’s tempting to think that Claude’s knowledge is broad but shallow.

> But that’s wrong.

> So Claude’s knowledge is broad and deep.

> But that is wrong too.

> A library “contains” knowledge but knows nothing. There is a sense in which Claude might be said to “know” something.

> Claude “knows” a lot of things but doesn’t really understand what it knows

Over on Kevin Buzzard's blog, Boris Alexeev has written a guest post on the state of the art on autoformalization in practice, focusing in particular on the improved speed and efficiency of formalization when applied to the problems in the Erdos Problems database, and how these efforts have begun to resolve some of the lower hanging fruit in that database. xenaproject.wordpress.com/2025

필름 룩 따라하기가 언제나 정답은 아니지만, 뭔가 부족하다 싶을 때 힌트는 된다.

눈에 보이는대로 찍힌다는 불가능하다. 우리는 아직 눈과 뇌를 그대로 모사할 카메라도, 디스플레이나 종이도 없다. 있더라도 그로 "보는" 무엇인가는 사진이 아닐 것이다.

Average person has their mailbox explode on Bandcamp Friday is a misleading factoid. Bandcamp Georg who has bought music from over 250 artists is an outlier and should not be counted even though Georg's mailbox certainly is exploding.
