What is Hackers' Pub?

Meta's director of AI safety allowed an AI agent to... accidentally delete her inbox. This is supposedly the person at the company who is working to make sure that powerful AI tools don’t go rogue and act against human interests

Folks, we have power. When companies go too far, pushing back can make a real difference.

#Privacy matters - not just for you, individually, but for all of us, collectively. We can turn the tide if we band together and demand change. We can't give up.

One of Trump's arguments for attacking Iran is that they killed protestors.

Boy, that would be really bad if a country did that, wouldn't it?

I love all of you and we are all best friends*. But lately -- and sorry my dude pals -- I've been intellectually crushing on the big brains and talents of:

Tip to CISOs - every time you hear the phrase "defenders need to move at machine speed", drink. It's AI sales speak for "buy our magic box".

I *hate* "why not just" as a reply.

"Why not just do it this other way instead?"

It implies that the other way is faster, easier, or otherwise better, without actually providing any evidence to that effect.

The person who made the original proposal has to research what those advantages might be and see if they actually apply to the current situation. This is information that the replier supposedly already has.

If you know it's better, say why.

然後一個和P牌電視機有關的回憶：
這張宣傳圖應該是我小時候在網上下載的
當時香港代理的網站有個「資源下載」的功能
可以看電視廣告、宣傳海報，也可以下載電腦牆紙
我大概不知就裏地下載了這張宣傳圖😂
廣告裏是2006-7年的機型，原檔的存檔年份是2009
這張圖一直儲存在電腦硬碟上，直至要換電腦備份資料，我才將這張圖存在自己的USB
當作是小時候留下（有夠奇怪）的紀念物

好像連Panasonic也授權中國創維貼牌代工銷至歐美
自家製電視只限日本內銷和高階型號

其實東芝分拆電視給海信、Sony和TCL合資後
中國國內名氣較大的電視品牌已所剩無幾
也不難猜測Panasonic會和誰情投意合

但說到低階小呎吋電視，就讓我想到小時候看無線的東張西望
不會記得甚麼娛樂花邊
而是着眼主持背後的電視機👀

大屏幕的款式隨年迭代
但旁邊小台的電視機服役多年，開始顯得落伍
而且大概因為有贊助，所以品牌logo大得誇張
與在影音店陳列的機型截然不同
因此便會狐疑是否只是隨便貼個logo了事🙃

@Em0nM4stodonEm any win is a win that should be celebrated definitely, i agree!

i hope to inform my friends about this and lift them up from their pessimism

The creator of the AI agent “Einstein” wants to free humans from the burden of academic labor. Critics say that misses the point of education entirely.

I read another tech take just now that essentially says

"everything the [aerospace|car|construction|...] industry has learned the hard way with regards to designing com0lex systems safely is wrong, so let's just throw those lessons away"

It hurts in how mind-numbingly stupid that is.

There are differences, sure. But the differences people think of as truths are largely wrong. Most notably, there's nothing intrinsically different about a complex system involving tonnes of metal...

One of my New Year's resolutions was to stop buying books from #Amazon. I read about 85 books per year; I LOVE to read. But I don't want to give my money to Amazon.

I've been using BookShop.org, which provides both physical and #DRM free e-books, AND allows me to designate 30% of the book's list price to my favorite local book store!

A month ago there was a lot of buzz on the Fediverse about a new Mastodon server set up by prominent journalists: #TheForkiverse.

There was a rush of sign-ups: nearly 10,000 users in a couple of weeks. People new to the Fediverse, willing to try it out.

It's been hard to gauge how active it still is... so this morning I re-downloaded @IceCubesApp so I could browse their local timeline.

I've been liking and replying to recent posts. Just doing my little in making them feel seen and welcome 🤗

Not to spoil the article, but definitely not those LLMs.

none of these numbers make any sense 😅

Combine that with the scale enabled by automation, the incentives of those making and adopting the tools, and you have have the potential for one of the biggest crises in the history of programming.

Hello everyone 👋

This is the official account of the Green Office of the University of Groningen.

We work to advance sustainability across the university — from strategy and policy to research and community initiatives.📝

We joined Mastodon to engage in open discussions on sustainability in higher education, academic research, and institutional change.

We look forward to exchanging ideas and learning from this community! 💚

Nice day today at #FediMTL. Good talks and good people. Met some folks I only knew from the Internet. Hope I can go again next year.
