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.
んー…
I apologize for the recent high quality fact. I have identified the problematic wrinkle on my brain and will smooth it out immediately.
ぢゃんぼー！
Who knows if this’ll make it to anyone new to Fedi, but…
My advice: upload a photo and fill out that profile, just to show there's a human there. Follow anyone and anything that seems moderately interesting (and prune as you go).
Then just read and absorb it all for a couple weeks. Get a sense of what it's all about, how the culture and no algorithm work. This has some trappings of corporate social media sites, but it's very not — figuring out exactly what that means was key to my experience.

RE: https://graphics.social/@metin/115872357241460746
"Pirating" AI prompts sounds funny. They should think about themself rather as photographers making photographs of public spaces - they can't really expect to copyright one exact shot from certain angle.
This is more complex problem in the FOSS ecosystem already. Lot of companies use free software and their admins get paid well, sometimes, but the programmer's work is somehow expected to be free or paid by hourly fee, because the profit of the companies using free software is not intended to be shared. Somehow same situations was there with DJs, being famous for mixing nameless tracks.
The important question, if "sloperators" expect themself to be well paid professionals or even famous artists in the future. I think this future will never be. There are no "famous cell phone users". The AI model companies will have famous brands, some developers will get famous and well paid. But I think that average sloperator can expect probably as much attention, as eg. dish washer or coffee machine operator. Anybody else will be easily able to achieve the same result, and actually, I expect "open prompt" culture, where prompts generating certain result will be shared together with the result, much like open source is available for binaries.
Very few people will be able to created prompts "better then someone else", so much of the current effort of many people will soon look the same like putting photos of your fast food on Instagram. There will be nothing unique and competitive about the output.

What would a language model trained on all of the literature present in 1500 look like? No doubt it would spout a lot about God and the geocentric model.
Would we expect it to ever develop the heliocentric model, Newtonian mechanics, or Ricardian economics?
Exponential growth is self-similar at all scales, so suggesting that LLMs can push the envelope of 21st century knowledge and beyond is akin to claiming that our hypothesised 1500s GPT could do the same in its own time.

コピー人間になればクオリティは爆上がりするのでこれ１択に思えるけど、わしがなりたいのは完コピ人間ではないので。でも結局答えが出ないという。うーむ…

@mcc This is a feeling I've been having for a few years, and I struggle to see how the normalisation of unaccountable LLM platforms and users won't spell the end of the Free Software movement/type of F/OSS culture I care about, and that's heartbreaking on so many levels.
@mcc It makes me reluctant when I think about sharing my work. It makes me reluctant when I think about accepting contributions. Even for closed source projects, it makes me wary of collaboration because I feel like the level of micromanagement I'd need to have confidence that my work wasn't being tainted just isn't the sort of working relationship I'd like to have with others.
I don't eat fish because I'm not interested in carefully chewing for bones all the time. This feels like that.
LLM advocates and their enablers will hide the fact that they are posting stolen code— they brag about this, their most widely-effective argument for LLM code being allowed in OSS is "if you tell us we can't, we'll do it and not tell you"— and attempts to track which open source projects use stolen code will be harassed off the Internet. I do not want to be part of this open source community, so the only options I seem to have are to wall myself off from it, or stop doing open source altogether.

Does anyone here know of a running Bonfire instance that has federation actually activated?
I want to try different platforms see if any other Activity Pub implementation makes better use of the actual protocol.
Already tried Sharkey, Pixelfed, Hubzilla, Friendica, GoToSocial and Akkoma.

國中中文課讀過的《列子》選：
齊田氏祖於庭，食客千人。中坐有獻魚雁者，田氏視之，乃歎曰：「天之於民厚矣！殖五穀，生魚鳥以為之用。」眾客和之如響。鮑氏之子年十二，預於次，進曰：「不如君言。天地萬物與我並生，類也。類無貴賤，徒以小大智力而相制，迭相食；非相為而生之。人取可食者而食之，豈天本為人生之？且蚊蚋噆膚，虎狼食肉，非天本為蚊蚋生人、虎狼生肉者哉？」
大意是：上天創造的人、動植物以及非生物等一律平等，世界不是為了人類所造。
感覺這篇課文對基督教來講，也算牴觸教義（天造萬物是為人管理為人用，如創世紀1:26）的課文，但是沒有像演化假說和LGBT議題那麼受人注目。

How do y’all organize your #Linux or #BSD workflow?
Are you a desktop environment user that treats it as a turnkey environment for all your needs and don’t tweak it much?
Do you just use the tty and terminal programs really leveraging the power of the unix-y shell?
Or do you play in the middle ground somewhere and use a tiling wm like me?
—
For me, I treat my #OpenBSD install like a unix-y flavored lisp machine. I don’t need much gui integration that much outside of the terminal, my wm’s lisp process socket and emacs, to be happy.
Tonight I had to do a few things on my wife’s iPhone 13 Pro Max (which I used for two years, from 2021 to 2023). I really struggled to read the text, especially in the browser. Has something changed with the recent versions of iOS, or has my eyesight worsened that much in two years? I mean, I know my vision has changed, but while I can read everything easily on my Pixel, I just couldn't manage on the iPhone
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for X86 compatible, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures.
Что такое FreeBSD?
FreeBSD - это мощная операционная система для компьютеров архитектур, совместимых с x86, AMD64, Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 и UltraSPARC®. Она основана на BSD, версии UNIX®, созданной в Калифорнийском Университете в Беркли. Она разрабатывается и поддерживается большой командой разработчиков. Поддержка других платформ находится на разных стадиях разработки.
Выдающиеся возможности
Исключительный набор сетевых возможностей, высокая производительность, средства обеспечения безопасности и совместимости с другими ОС - вот те современные возможности FreeBSD, которые зачастую всё ещё отсутствуют в других, даже лучших коммерческих, операционных системах.

Still in beta but open for testing!
Interesting features:
- Custom emojis (upload to your embedded server or import from other instances)
- Custom domain for portable identity (independent from relay)
- Offline actions (boost, like, compose, delete) synced later
- One-tap timeline view modes (classic, media, video, etc.)

So there's this fairly popular life pro tip for reviving stale bread by wetting the crust and then baking it for a few minutes
Have y'all heard that before? Does anyone else do that?
And more importantly, am I the only one who started rinsing leftover pizza before tossing it into the air fryer cause the bread thing worked so well
