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.

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

@jfredJonathan Frederickson @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber there's also a pull request to include a basic mnt reform image in guix proper now codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/5 (which boots as long as stock u-boot is present on eMMC/provided somewhere else as we can't include that in guix) ... (all credits should go to Vagrant though for upstreaming all the MNT things to guix proper so this actually works)

Man stelle sich vor in Deutschland würde eine komplette Großfamilie - mit Enkeln, Eltern, Großeltern, Urgroßeltern, Cousins und Tanten - getötet.

Der Aufschrei darüber wäre riesig.

In mit grob 2 Millionen Einwohnern waren es über 2700 komplette Großfamilien, die getötet wurden sind. Von weiteren 6000 Großfamilien blieb nur eine einzige Person übrig.

Der Aufschrei bleibt aus.

I think packaging drives most people insane because they implicitly think "packaging" and "deployment" are the same thing.

Python packaging is a process for producing an intermediary artifact that can be consumed by Python programmers and organized according to community rules.

Python *deployment* does not really exist. You deploy to a platform, not a programming language. Which is double-maddening: Linux, the place where most people think they want to deploy, *also* isn't a platform.

What I'm listening to today: "Kraftwerk"

Kraftwerk is known for a Specific Sound, their genre-defining electronic work. Did you know before they acquired/learned the electronics they just made prog music? Really good prog music? Florian Schneider's main instrument was the flute? Their first¹ album from 1970 has all the attention to feeling and timbre of electronic music but it's all Instruments and tape. If it sounds like Can that's because they used the same producer.

What I'm listening to today: "Falling In Love", Surface

This 1983 track is a wonderful-feeling midpoint between the last days of disco and 80s pop. I want to gush about each little production choice, every sound feels crafted. That primal synth bass.

I guess this is technically the extended club mix but it's the version that was on Tidal, and the longer runtime matches the song's unhurried, laid-back feel so well.

Letting AI agents run your life is like handing the car keys to your 5-year-old. What could go wrong?

I was marveling while reading this PCMag piece, which describes how to secure an agentic AI setup that essentially mimics malware: To do it's job properly, the AI agent has to be able to read private messages, store credentials, execute commands, and maintain a persistent state. How do you do that? You chase after it like you would your child.

"The important thing is to make sure you limit "who can talk to your bot, where the bot is allowed to act, [and] what the bot can touch" on your device, the bot's support documentation says."

"In 2009, when researchers polled 1,350 Americans about the video at the center of Scott v. Harris, most agreed with the Supreme Court’s majority view. But the researchers identified “sharp differences of opinion” along cultural and ideological lines, including race, income and a person’s views on societal hierarchy."

Thinking about programmers losing their coding skills because of their reliance on AI tools made me wonder if there was some other industry where heavy automation led to concerns over loss of skills. And yes, there is: airplane pilots.

They train manual flight maneuvers regularly to preserve pilot skills, because when the automation fails is precisely when you need a skilled operator.

Source: flightsafety.org/asw-article/l

“The general trend is to use the maximum level of automation during flight; however, this might contribute to a less active participation in manual aircraft handling and, at times, to an over-reliance on automation,” says the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). “It is important to seek a balance in training of automation and manual flying skills to address the situation where, if automation systems do not work as intended, pilots are adequately skilled and confident to take manual control of the aircraft.”
