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.

I was really glad to join @cwarzelCharlie Warzel for this discussion, because I knew we’d focus on the impacts on labor, and some of the deeper nuance that often gets buried under the noise around AI. I hope you’ll give it a listen.

Sam Altman: „People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart“

If you look at humans as a commodity, this statement probably makes sense. But humans aren’t a commodity, Sam.

Also, you can tell semiconductor people are a bit off WRT their definitions of "normal, safe chemistry".

I recently finished pilot testing of a safer alternative to an existing process that uses HF.

As in, HF is *the safer alternative chemistry*.

Queer audacity and neurodivergent delusion stroke again: I found an amazing pants pattern and decided I need to make my own pants. Of course my only experience with sewing patterns is making small COVID masks.

So, anyone got a nice tutorial on how to work with sewing patterns? 😅

Wide leg black Japanese inspired pants with a wide pleated front panel resembling a half skirt buttoned at the waistband, made of fabric with subtle sheen, extending to the ankles.
