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.
This is from the JSON-LD spec.
ActivityPub / ActivityStream are based on JSON-LD.
I think it was a very bad idea for JSON-LD to define "number" this way!
It makes it so numbers with fractional values are inexact & lossy.
This include values that are common for money.
For example, neither 0.10 and 0.20 can be represented exactly. So, 0.10 + 0.20 does NOT equal 0.30!
It should have used FIXED-point numbers rather than FLOATING-point.
![number
In the JSON serialization, a number is similar to that used in most programming languages, except that the octal and hexadecimal formats are not used and that leading zeros are not allowed. In the internal representation, a number is equivalent to either a long or double, depending on if the number has a non-zero fractional part (see [WEBIDL]).](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/115/532/009/836/539/original/5d2ac605cf834ed1.png)

@film_girlChristina Warren “normal and fun” but you still expect people to get mad 🤔 (probably just cost of being on the internet I guess)
What’s the follow-up, TPing and egging the Canadian embassy? Maybe leave a lit bag of dog poo on their doorstep and doorbell ditch them?
I get trash talk, but it’s one of those things where both sides have to be in on the game, otherwise you’re kinda just insulting people and they don’t know why.

ベンヤミンが、映画技術が少数の権力に寡占されていることに対して、市民による再領有を要求したことを思いだしながら読んだ(「複製技術時代の芸術」)。ベンヤミンが生きているころに、まだ技術の再領有は実践的にはかなり困難だったとおもう(というか方法論もなにもなかった)けど、いま同じ問題が実践的に解決可能な課題として問われているのだなと思う。

Today, we hit the streets with a major "And Then?" campaign in the UK, despite having faced strong opposition.
First, our TV ad "And Then?" was banned on British television.
And then, the outdoor ad campaign meant to criticise the TV ban was largely halted.
Here, you can watch the banned ads and explore the entire campaign.
"問いはF/OSSコードに対するLLM訓練がある抽象的意味で倫理的かではない。どのような条件で倫理的かだ。答えはF/OSSがこれまで示してきた答えと同じだと信じる。我々が付与する自由が保存され伝達されるとき、改善がコモンズに戻るとき、知識が自由に留まるとき、倫理的なのだ。"
まさに「これが唯物史観だ」という文章。

Age Verification isn't a technical problem to solve. If you think that, you're missing the point.
It's a social problem used by authoritarian governments as an excuse for population control and censorship.
It's a fundamental attack on free speech and democracy.
It must not be accommodated.
It must be stopped.

@film_girlChristina Warren @zedtech Did you forget months of the unhinged threats of invasion from Agent Orange? We’ve moved on to 800 other dramatic actions from him, but still. Thats what Canada’s experience is.
The relationship is stained orange, like so many tupperwares in the microwave.

Someone asked me if I knew how many people use my repos for #slackware and my only guess was 5. I honestly have no idea though, I don’t really check server logs anymore nor do I have any kind of software installed for that. I don’t want anyone’s data and I regularly purge old logs anyway.
If people find useful things, then great. Awesome even, but I don’t need to know anything unless its broken. 😁

it is very silly that you can get patent protection for source code without uploading a fully working and buildable repository that is certified to do something useful by the patent office
"texting a message used to take a time approximately proportional to the sum of the alphabetical indices of the message's characters modulo 3" is one of those things that is absolutely true but also 100% sounds like a shitpost if you weren't around for that era.

>私は自分のコードがLLM訓練に使われることを望んでいる。望んでいないのは、その訓練によってAI企業の私有財産となるプロプライエタリなモデルが作られることだ。
とてもいい文章だった。
まぁ、自分はフルスクラッチで良いOSSを作れるような技術力はなく、LLMにおんぶにだっこ状態なので、あんまり何かを言う権利は無いけど。
今のOSS、詳しくは知らんけど、多くの人は本業があって、その稼ぎでご飯を食べながらcontributeして成立していると思っているので、じゃあ仮にLLMのモデル公開まで含めたライセンシングになったとき、そのLLMのコストは持続可能な形でどこから出るべきなんだろうか？と思った(オープンなLLMモデルも、戦略としてオープンにしてるけど、かなりの額の赤字を垂れ流してると思うので)。

This is the biggest release in Fedify's history. Here are the highlights:

@fedify/fedify package has been broken up into focused, independent packages: @fedify/vocab, @fedify/vocab-runtime, @fedify/vocab-tools, @fedify/webfinger, and more. Smaller bundles, cleaner imports, and the ability to extend ActivityPub with custom vocabulary types.@fedify/debugger package gives you a live dashboard at /__debug__/ showing all your federation traffic: traces, activity details, signature verification, and correlated logs. Just wrap your Federation object and you're done.@fedify/relay and the fedify relay CLI command. Supports both Mastodon-style and LitePub-style relay protocols (FEP-ae0c).orderingKey option solves the “zombie post” problem where a Delete arrives before its Create. Activities sharing the same key are guaranteed to be delivered in FIFO order.setOutboxPermanentFailureHandler() lets you react when a remote inbox returns 404 or 410, so you can clean up unreachable followers instead of retrying forever.Other changes include content negotiation at the middleware level, @fedify/lint for shared linting rules, @fedify/create for quick project scaffolding, CLI config files, native Node.js/Bun CLI support, and many bug fixes.
This release includes significant contributions from Korea's OSSCA participants. Huge thanks to everyone involved!
This is a major release with breaking changes—please check the migration guide before upgrading.

I wrote an article on my first year on #Pixelfed and how I'm trying to reclaim my photography from the algorithm.
This is a funny video, but quite honestly soaring with birds is one of the great joys of #gliding
On one of my first flights, we flew for a few minutes just below snow geese passing through Ontario from the arctic on their way to their winter homes in the US.

My old friend, a Raspberry Pi A+, has been running my home heating system for months, just like it did back in 2014.
It has not missed a single moment.
It has sailed through every so called cloud outage.
It kept working flawlessly even when the Internet connection was down, because it simply does not need it.
This is the kind of technology I love.
Of course, it runs NetBSD!

@stefanoStefano Marinelli That's technology, and computers, doing what they are supposed to be doing: the same thing, day in and day out, in a deterministic fashion, based on software where it's actually possible to tell what's going on.
Yay for that!
