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.

It's demotivating to think that:
- LLMs aren't good at producing original / novel work
- You still need experts to advance that stuff
- It will always be slower to move without using LLMs
- Once an innovation is done though, an innovation can always be scooped up by the LLM users
- "Bro why are you doing all this manually, I just vibe coded that in a weekend"
Will it always be this way? It's depressing in the meanwhile, at least.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber im still resisting the belief that 'moving fast' is at all good or useful. sprinting is shitting out bad software to abandon next year, but most of us know that real value lies in the marathon of maintenance and careful conscious choices

The fediverse is too dependant on the USA.

I keep being baffled by whole industries using AI as a fancy search in a database. Yes, they memorize and reproduce, which is both a copyright and a privacy issue.
No, they're not 100% accurate in either memorizing or reproducing, which is a liability issue. Can we stop abusing these transformer based models as a fake solution to problems they're not made for? Not everything is a nail, so stop throwing your fancy hammer at it.
A reminder for #Firefox fans! Firefox 148 ships on 24 February (in 1 day).
This newest release brings us the #AI "kill switch" that has been promised. I've been testing it both in the Beta and Nightly releases of Firefox. From what I've seen so far, it does what it says.
However, only time will tell if user preferences are preserved across updates and upgrades. In the past that has not been the case for many people.

This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday. The school I work for is closing my department
I’ve worked there for 15 years & the current teaching staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Just outrageously good teachers. Students love us. We absolutely rock
Unfortunately, management did their jobs really badly, so now teachers are unemployed (don’t worry - managers get to stay, phew!)
This is how shocked Max was when I told him
"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character."

@mastohost thank you for your efforts!
Is there somewhere not on Mastodon you post a status page? I can see your posts from this alt account of mine, but not everyone has one of those.
> I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day
The examples included here are horrible. Not just the sex-shaming, but that too.
I'm far from convinced that a social media ban is the answer, but the comment is still well worth reading - especially by men.

As a woman working in #retrofit , I am delighted that the #Greens chose Hannah Spencer, a local plumber to be their candidate in the #gortonanddenton byelection.
She gets it in a way other politicians just don’t.
“One in three households in Gorton and Denton live in fuel poverty. Insulating homes would keep people warm in winter, cool in summer and slash bills. We’ve got some of the leakiest homes in Europe – as I know full well from working on hundreds of them.”

對林夕嘅喜愛係長擺喺心，佢唔係偶像明星，我亦無可能好似追星族追星咁時時刻刻關注自己佢發生咩事，只可以睇書睇報導留意佢。
只係，偶爾路過佢嘅文字，都仍然會驚嘆再驚嘆，感動又感動，到底一個人要幾有才華先可以寫到咁蕩氣迴腸嘅文字，其駕馭文字能力之高仿佛獨佔八斗，我又何其有幸可以經歷過佢嘅高峰年代，喺佢嘅文字中沐浴長大。
唉，好掛住你呀夕爺。

i think my toot from about 6 months ago auto deleted on this, but yes, the AI industry thing of bulk buying up hardware components is going to quickly inflate Mastodon server running costs, so be kind to your admins.
I've said this repeatedly too but it's going to massively increase business IT costs very soon, inflation is coming across the board, CIOs are going to have a budget crisis.
Also if you're a CIO and you think 'doesn't impact us, we're locked in with Azure/AWS/GCP/whatever', I've got a used car I'd like to sell you with 2 wheels.
The very orgs causing the crisis will monetise it, it's kinda the point. Your Microsoft 365 E5 license renewal is also going to be a big problem, just a spoiler, and they know you're locked in and aren't ever going to move platform too.

Hey 
@loops, thanks to the EU #DigitalMarketsAct #DMA, #Tiktok has created an #API for third party apps / competitors that is supposed to enable real-time #DataPortability for users who wish to switch.
Have you considered putting an Tiktok account import function on the #Loops roadmap?
