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.

Early (like, pre-2007) Nine Inch Nails is About Something. Here's what it's about: You're broken, you're irredeemable. There's something deep inside of you, something fundamental which corrupts, something broken in a way that will twist everything that happens and make it bad, make every victory sour, make you crush every opportunity and fumble every friendship. And it's not anything "wrong". It's just who you are, and it can't be fixed. That was what he was trying to say. That spoke to me. But:

There *was* something wrong with Trent Reznor. There was one, specific thing wrong with Trent Reznor, and there was one specific thing with me. This wasn't even The Human Condition or being depressed. It's just that Trent was addicted to heroin. Trent was addicted to heroin, and I had gender identity disorder. That was the One Thing. There was actually, really one corrupting thing preventing each of us from being able to be happy or succeed at anything.

And then, uh.

Those things got better.

Okay so it's been explained to me that actually several large chunks of the NiN library are not available digitally at all currently due to Reznor's frequent label changes and some sort of presumably temporary snafu in inter-publisher negotiations, and shamefully Tidal does not currently even have "Not the Actual Events". Copyright does not succeed at the thing our society designed copyright to do

Re-discovering that "Hesitation Marks" is the one and only Nine Inch Nails album that Tidal doesn't have¹ and cracking up all over over again

"Oh, you didn't want *that* one"

¹ I think the last time I looked into this it turned out to be a Canada geoIP thing.

Anyway this is my periodic reminder to you that if you used to be into NIN but fell off after "with teeth"/"year zero":

You really, *really* want to locate the "Not the Actual Events" / "Add Violence" / "Bad Witch" 2016-2018 EP trio, and just listen to all three in one go as if it's a 3-disc album (I have them set up as one playlist called "Not Violent Witch").

This run of music was *incredible*, career high, and it's deeply haunted by Reznor's personal friendships with Davids Lynch and Bowie

챗GPT보다 논리적 지능이 떨어지는 인간이 많다는 이유로 현재의 LLM AI의 지능이 폄하되어서는 안 된다는 의견을 봤다. 전혀 동의하지 못함. 챗GPT보다 "멍청한" 인간이 너무나도 쉽게 할 수 있는 일을 지금의 AI가 못하니까 범용인공지능이니 어쩌고 하면서 온갖 개수작을 하고 있는거잖아.

息子の小学校は算数の特性別クラス分けがある。理解の早さで分けているらしいが、進度は変わらない。息子は理解の早いクラスに入ってるが、どうしても時間が余ってしまうのか、授業の終わりに学習の範囲と違う「難問」のプリントが出ることがある。
私立中受、算数オリンピックや都立中の試験問題だ。これを夜に解くのがなかなか楽しいが、昨日は解法にベクトルの外積しか思いつかないような問題が出ていて、小学生の図形操作でなんもかならないかと頭を捻っている。

毎日、体重を測っているのですが、体重計を起動すると最初に年齢が表示されるのですが、その数字が1つ増えるくらいしか誕生日の実感はないのですが、今日がその誕生日になります。​:tanzyoubi:
高血圧の治療中なので、健康で1年過ごすことはできていないのですが、無事に1年過ごせたのはよかったです。
