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.

Finally got around to watching the 92 minute Technology Connections video. Worth every second. The incendiary last 25 minutes, the anger of gentle man, brilliant beyond my wildest expectations. Nerd power at its finest.

Highly recommended.

For the millionth time, ridesharing means carpooling, not hiring an exploited gig worker through a tech bro "disruptor" app that mines your data and breaks every safety and labor law it can find to drive to where you are, pick you up, and then drive you to where you want to go.

US-made munitions have played a significant role in Israeli operations in Gaza. Bellingcat has collated scores of incidents where the remnants of US-made munitions have been found in the aftermath of Israeli strikes over two years of war in Gaza. This dataset, while only identifying a small fraction of the US weaponry that has been deployed by Israel during this period, provides new insight into a number of deadly strikes where significant civilian harm was recorded. bellingcat.com/news/2026/01/30

“…Campaigners have described the jury’s refusal to convict any of the six defendants of any charges as a “huge victory” and a “powerful affirmation of jury equity and brings to a humiliating end one of the most politically charged trials of this year thus far.”

Ce post sert de point d'entrée à tout ce que j'écris sur les questions de l'IA générative, à la bulle financière qui l'accompagne, aux intéractions avec d'autres thèmes (économie et crypto notamment).

Quand j'écris sur ce sujet, je réponds systématiquement à ce post, et j'utilise le hashtag

Je maintiens également une page sur mon site qui rassemble et structure en catégories mes publications sur ce thème, de manière bien plus fluide et lisible : agate.blue/bulle-ia/

In 2025, the home delivery program at efoodnet.org -- which I've been working with for years -- delivered 395,200 pounds of food to families and shut-ins across the county. This is just a small piece of the good they do.

If you've got a buck or two to spare and toss it their way, I'd be immensely grateful.

Being an example of kindness, care, and attitude for your neighbors is a primo form of resistance, and shows contrast with the heartless folks spreading hate and violence.

With being down so much lately, just a reminder that you can use "ollama launch claude" to run the same great claude code cli with the local or hosted model of your choice. ollama.com/blog/launch

The support three or more really good models like qwen3-coder next and kimi-2.5k which is a really good model too.

one thing the web should have evolved by now is a portable non-centralised way to verifiably assert "I am the owner of <email address>" because this is clearly necessary for loads of things and approximately nobody does a good job of implementing it

this might have been what mozilla persona and original openid were basically. unfortunately those got kicked aside in favour of, at best, outsourcing your password table

I just

I'm not actually in the habit of reading academic research papers like this. Is it normal to begin these things by confidently asserting your priors as fact, unsupported by anything in the study?

I suppose I should do the same, because there's no way it's not going to inform my read on this

"AI" is not actually a technology, in the way people would commonly understand that term.

If you're feeling extremely generous, you could say that AI is a marketing term for a loose and shifting bundle of technologies that have specific useful applications.

I am not feeling so generous.

AI is a technocratic political project for the purpose of industrializing knowledge work. The details of how it works are a distant secondary concern to the effect it has, which is to enclose and capture all knowledge work and make it dependent on capital.

강강은 오랜 팬들이 얘기하기론 90년대까지는 방향성 명확한 잡지였다고 하는데, 갑자기 정통 '소년만화'를 하겠다고 나서면서 기존 간판작들은 맥가든으로 이적하고(AQUA가 이적해서 ARIA로 된다거나) 강강 새 연재작들은 거의 다 실패하고... 그러다가 갑자기 어떤 신인 만화가가 강철의 연금술사를 꺼내온 거에요.
