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.

So, I just read Ed Zitron long post on AI bubble, backed by hard sources and digits and it's a masterpiece.

It's long, but there's so many things in it:

  • a 4th stage of @pluralisticCory Doctorow enshittification where VC are the turkey being roasted, companies manipulating stock price to drain them,
  • and so the vanishing of available liquidity for VC,
  • the fact that there's only 2 buyers of GPU-backed datacentres appart hyperscalers, none of which able to pay for them,
  • datacenter that ate unlikely to be built on time or budget, because the projects are insane,
  • datacenters obsoletes before even being built, built on a ever increasing debt based funding,
  • starting to makes banks very uncomfortable,
  • and that nobody has a path towards profitability in the whole chain of AI providers,
  • apart NVIDIA which is massively lying about a lot of things and manipulating the stock price in diverse ways,
  • and that there doesn't seem to be an analyst worth his bullshit in peanuts and able to even ask "how the physical world accommodates to your insane projected numbers?" "In what timeline?"

This is going to be a massive, fucking collapse with very real ripples up to the very real public banks having put tens of billions in that scam.

And so I think that there's a 5th stage of enshittification : the one where states are enshitified, being used as collateral of last resort, socializing the risk and greed of parasites, holding the bezel for even longer because if it fails, the country collapse.

수능이 끝난 겨울, 누군가는 출근을 시작했다···직업계고 ‘3학년 2학기’ 학생들의 취업 분투기 www.khan.co.kr/article/2025... "어렵게 나간 현장실습을 포기하고 돌아오기는 쉽지 않다. 이현수군(18·가명)은 “선생님들은 정 힘들면 돌아오라고 하지만, 학생 입장에서는 언제 다시 취업할 수 있을지 몰라 망설이게 된다”고 했다. 학생들은 이듬해 1월 전까지 취업을 시도한다. 졸업 이후에는 학교의 도움을 받을 수 없다. 취업 실패가 반복되며 상처를 받은 일부 학생은 ‘위클래스’ 상담을 받기도 한다."

남녀"갈등"이 아니라 그냥 2030 남성 극우화, 일방적인 여성혐오 라고 하는게 맞지 갈등, 갈라치기 이런 말 자꾸 쓰는게 양쪽 다 잘못했다 화해하고 잘 지내야함 이런 뉘앙스 품고 있는거잖아

This year marked the first time the AI avatar of a victim—in this case, a dead man—has ever addressed a court, and it raises many questions about the use of this type of technology in future court proceedings.

Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes

Join the workshop at !

NEW DATE: day 4, TODAY at 13:40 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.

Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?

This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.

  • What does it mean to federate knowledge repositories?
  • Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?

These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.

Some further, more specific, insights and questions:

  • Local-first approaches and software (e.g. Reflection)
  • Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as Ibis
  • What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like Anytype
  • The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as Obsidian does
