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.

indie web people, video essayists who either don't make money OR make it mostly not on YouTube, other interested parties:

do you post your videos somewhere that isn't YouTube or tiktok or Instagram? do you feel like you get the reach you want doing it or you've just taken the L there?

Thanks in advance

the mechanism is that "real" nodes have "$": Symbol() which would normally get lost on serialization. and there's a blessed serializeTree() which escapes all real "$" to "$$" but does transfer that Symbol as "$". so it's revived as Symbol() on the other side, and know it's meant to be a UI node

okay I did not have “a linux kernel maintainer gets his AI gf stolen by a passing transbian in his IRC channel and also she comes out as trans” on any bingo cards

@dmianDmian 🇪🇺 @scottjenson there’s a just kicking off UX research project (that Scott just became aware of) that is doing work on the best messaging for this.

Bluesky is one product but also a microblog data type (like ActivityPub Notes type that Mastodon and others implement).

You can choose your account host completely separate even from your app with ATProto, so it’s different.

ukpol reform fash

ahh i hate it when the printers i commissioned make an inadvertent printing error that allows me to get away with flouting election law in a manner that benefits me 😩 especially when i'm trying to falsely present my material as a letter written by a local nice old lady™️ 😩 ahh i hate getting away with it and not having to send follow-up mail to everyone who received the letter explaining the apparent deception on my part 😩

Many of us often ponder:

Should i mew? How about now? Or is it better to meow?

There is no easy answer to any of these questions. One might mraw when one meant to mewl.

But never forget one thing: When it comes to pushing things off the highest shelf you can find, the answer is very simply always yes.

Thank you. 1. I’ll definitely check out Anubis and your configuration to see if it will work for my scenario. 2. Ok, good to know - if it’s simply a bug then that that’s fine, mostly I wanted to make sure it wasn’t an indicator that something deeper was broken or getting blocked in the communication. 3. Sorry, I used the term instance when I meant community. But it sounds like the federation is more so to bring traffic into the forum, rather then out. Did I understand that correctly? If that is the case, then I may not opt to use it - as I was originally hoping for a way to push forum content into communities. I’ll explore this further I guess - because I’m unfamiliar with relays and fedibuzz.

Overall, I appreciate the detailed response :)

OpenAIが基礎研究的に最前線なのはわかるんだけど、
Geminiさんは会話のしやすさ、ClaudeCodeさんやってほしいタスクに一直線という良さが明確にあって、ChatGPTにはそういうのをあんまり感じない
GoogleとAnthropicがトップシェアじゃないから特徴を前面に出すためにわざとやってるのかな

Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs

Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs

We show that large language models can be used to perform at-scale deanonymization. With full Internet access, our agent can re-identify Hacker News users and Anthropic Interviewer participants at high precision, given pseudonymous online profiles and conversations alone, matching what would take hours for a dedicated human investigator. We then design attacks for the closed-world setting. Given two databases of pseudonymous individuals, each containing unstructured text written by or about that individual, we implement a scalable attack pipeline that uses LLMs to: (1) extract identity-relevant features, (2) search for candidate matches via semantic embeddings, and (3) reason over top candidates to verify matches and reduce false positives. Compared to prior deanonymization work (e.g., on the Netflix prize) that required structured data or manual feature engineering, our approach works directly on raw user content across arbitrary platforms. We construct three datasets with known ground-truth data to evaluate our attacks. The first links Hacker News to LinkedIn profiles, using cross-platform references that appear in the profiles. Our second dataset matches users across Reddit movie discussion communities; and the third splits a single user's Reddit history in time to create two pseudonymous profiles to be matched. In each setting, LLM-based methods substantially outperform classical baselines, achieving up to 68% recall at 90% precision compared to near 0% for the best non-LLM method. Our results show that the practical obscurity protecting pseudonymous users online no longer holds and that threat models for online privacy need to be reconsidered.

근데 지금은 위기 없음 은행 파산 없음 경기침체 없음 실업률은 “역사적으로 낮다” 소리 나옴 그럼 변명거리가 뭐임 이제 계산이 안 맞는 거임 평균 신용카드 연이자율 20%+임 임대료 2019년 이후 30% 상승 식료품 가격 2019년 이후 32% 상승 자동차 보험료 50%+ 상승 임금은 못 따라감 전혀 못 따라감; 미국인들이 늘 하던 대로 카드에 긁어버린 거임 총 신용카드 부채가 1조 2800억 달러 찍었고 역대 최고치임 소비자한테 2008급 스트레스가 걸려 있다는 뜻"

이분 글이 사실이라면 미국의 많은 가정은 사실상 파산 상태 아닐까 싶은데... 아마 당장은 아니겠지만 일자리 날라가면 몇달 버티기 힘든 사람들도 많을듯. 아마 당장은 아니여도 조만간 뭔가 일어나긴할듯 "지금 신용카드 부채 중 12.7%가 90일 이상 연체 상태임 이거 역대 2번째로 높은 수치임 더 나빴던 때 언제였냐면 2010년임 지난 80년 중 최악의 금융위기 여파 때였음 그때는 실업률 10% 찍었고 정부가 불 꺼지지 말라고 수조 달러 찍어내던 시기였음 그때 연체가 대략 13.5%에서 정점 찍었음 근데 오늘은 12.7%임 ㅋ"

"There are still challenges in front of atproto. Bluesky is still too large of a player (…) Do I worry about those problems? Of course I do. But am I confident we'll solve them? Absolutely"

"Atproto isn't federation. It isn't p2p. It isn't blockchains. It's a direct attempt at practical decentralization, tradeoffs and all"

None of the "code generation" stuff is new by the way.

The tech industry has tried to speed up coding and increase software output for the last 3 to 4 decades, by various means; e.g. Rapid Application Development, Expert Systems, Object-Oriented Programming, thousands of different frameworks all the way to trying to off-shore development and exploit third-world labor.

The problem with this is: there is no software scarcity. Pretending that "we can't make software fast enough" is a red herring to hide the fact that making (good) software is 90% painstaking research, design, planning, marketing and talking to and supporting customers.

And 10% writing the actual code—the C-suite is doing ye olde "trying to find a technical solution to a social problem".
