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.
"Broadcasters do not operate in a vacuum; they operate inside regulatory environments, political climates and corporate risk calculations. When presidents and their allies openly threaten or target networks, it is naive to pretend that has no downstream effect on editorial choices – especially in high-stakes live broadcasts tied to billion-dollar rights deals.
"But there is a difference between contextual pressure and visible reality distortion. When global audiences can compare feeds in real time, the latter begins to resemble something else entirely: not editorial judgment, but narrative management. Which is why comparisons to Soviet-style state-controlled broadcasting models – once breathless rhetorical exaggerations – are starting to feel less hyperbolic."

This experiment (authored by several well-known mathematicians) revives an archaic practice (last seen in the era of Gauss) of posting encrypted proofs before revealing them: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.05192 . Here, the challenge is to see whether 10 research-level problems (that arose in the course of the authors research) are amenable to modern AI tools within a fixed time period (until Feb 13).
The problems appear to be out of reach of current "one-shot" AI prompts, but were solved by human domain experts, and would presumably a fair fraction would also be solvable by other domain experts equipped with AI tools. They are technical enough that a non-domain-expert would struggle to verify any AI-generated output on these problems, so it seems quite challenging to me to have such a non-expert solve any of these problems, but one could always be surprised. It will be interesting to see if there were any notable outcomes to this experiment by the expiration of the time linit.

I've been participating in online discussions for a long time, but I'm still not able to understand people that receive constructive replies to their posts and just leave them on read...
I'm unable to do that myself. I feel I owe the person that took time of their day to say something to me to acknowledge their reply somehow. Either as a like, or a "thanx", or anything but silence...
Saying something constructive to someone and receiving no reaction back from them is quite unpleasant to me. :)
PS. This is not targeted any anyone here. This happens a lot in other fora.
Ah ja, dann ist mir alles klar.

https://Loops.Video could be the #Fediverse’s breakout moment because #shortvideo is where habits already live.
If it matches the swipe-speed joy of mainstream apps while keeping open follows, portable identity, and community moderation, #creators get reach without lock-in.
One viral template or creator wave can turn #federation from concept into daily routine: and that’s how ecosystems tip.
#Loops key: frictionless onboarding, fast discovery, and easy cross-posting to other servers.

看了好几个BBC的纪录片，都是从香港联络到大陆，香港的记者、香港的NGO组织还在做最后一道防线。

This how I feel about genAI: it's informational poison. If you read or look at it without knowing it is AI, you have already lost.
The solution they proposed is exactly the one I adopted while working on the CRA standards: if you send me AI output, tell me it is AI output and any due diligence you did on it. Then I can make a decision about whether to engage.
