What is Hackers' Pub?

just added bluesky comments to my blog posts ✨ it auto-discovers when I've shared an article on bluesky and pulls in the replies as comments ... so you can reply on bluesky and it will show up on the blog (for example: roe.dev/blog/the-go...)

I think all of the editors and authors of ActivityPub and Activity Streams in the previous iteration of the working group were "invited experts", except one (@jasnellJames M Snell ). One of the chairs (me) was as an invited expert.

The chairs (@tantek.comTantek Çelik , @lehorsArnaud J Le Hors and I) had a "knock to get invited" policy: anyone who expressed interest in participating in the working group was invited to join. I can't remember a situation where we turned someone down.

Just a random butt from the archives…

I swear github's UX is "designed" by throwing someone down a flight of stairs and then asking them how things should work while they're heavily concussed.

Signed, spent the last hour trying to figure out how to enable auto-merge on green CI, which somehow requires navigating to three different screens hidden in completely non-obvious places, and then realize that dropdowns show you no available actions to mark required because you _have_ to search for a string that appears in the jobs's name before the asinine UI will admit that they exist and let you select them.

I feel that LLM training will be ruled fair use. I disagree with that ruling, I think it’s harebrained, but it’s what the Capitalist class wants and we all know how that goes.

What I’m thinking about today is how to take something productive out of this mess.

@fediversereportConnected Places So, I think this is a really interesting article, and I agree that participation and representation matter here.

I hope that more ActivityPub implementers step up to become W3C members. There are several funded nonprofits and commercial organizations that could probably afford it. I'd recommend that people who use ActivityPub software let the software creators know that they should participate in the WG process!

Why DuckDB is my first choice for data processing https://lobste.rs/s/b9elrl #databases

For years, Ring 0, CPU level, was believed to be the highest access level.

But at negative levels, you cause hallucinations in the user. Ring -1, fingers tingle; Ring -2, eyes see flashes of code. It’s believed the same method that creates drug tolerance prevents true higher negative levels.

🚀 I'm excited to announce our brand-new Swift database abstraction layer; focusing on the essentials for now...

LLMs are spam generators. That is all.

They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent".

But really, all they are is spam generators.

We have hit the spamularity.

After committing one of the greatest thefts of all information known to mankind, ChatGPT started showing Ads to everyone while killing all independent websites,wikis, forums, journalism sites, artists' work, songs, and blogs. The circle of life is complete. All this talk of a "changing world" ends with selling your data to the highest bidder while destroying human creators and environments. What innovation.

Pathfinder : WoTR fancomic : Duality of dretches

Context : Dretches are an early game demon, and on the lower difficulties, they just kinda flail around at you and don't really do much damage, and die super easily. On higher difficulties, they use stinking cloud which stuns your entire party lol

> An understanding of READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() is important for kernel developers who will be dealing with any sort of concurrent access to data. So, naturally, they are almost entirely absent from the kernel's documentation.

Hi larger #fediverse community. I joined from the forkiverse thing and I'm seeing some posts critical of the new influx of participants. Perhaps you're worried we don't really get you or value the community so I wanted to give a little background you may not know. Before this “experiment” episode there was a much older episode that started things.

This post by Bruce Schneier contains so many thoughtful soundbites:

> The question is not simply whether copyright law applies to AI. It is why the law appears to operate so differently depending on who is doing the extracting and for what purpose.

> Like the early internet, AI is often described as a democratizing force. But also like the internet, AI’s current trajectory suggests something closer to consolidation.
