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.

Some days, I wonder if I live in a parallel world.

I want more efficient software (to lower overall power usage of our society, to avoid throwing away hardware after a couple of years, to be able to do more with less).

I fight centralisation of data/knowledge/power in IT (promote open protocols, selfhosting, open source, decentralisation)

I do want a more egalitarian society (no more barriers because of handicaps or upbringing in a non-privileged environment. Improving our democracy with services that help everyone by reducing/eliminating bureaucracy).

I do not want to see our world burn (see point above about reducing waste. But also promoting local LLM usage, and not defaulting to wasteful services for tasks that can be done locally).

Yet... I don't fight genAI. On the contrary, I deeply believe it can help us achieve the above. Faster.

The problem is way too many people are assuming that because (a lot of) people misuse it, the technology must be the issue.

Maybe focus on the people misusing it, and not the technology ? Banning usage of genAI altogether in software projects is, IMHO, both counter-productive and impossible.

Are we going to also ban people using LSP ? Linters ? Fuzzy search tools ? Spell-checks ? Translation tools ? Speech-To-Text assistants ?

Heck, how will *you* know if I used a LLM to assist me ? Because of the quality of the contribution I provided ? Because I'm not knowledgeable about your project and design ? Because english is not my native language, and I used a tool for translating text ?

Or maybe it's because, shocking, I used it as yet-another-tool. And it didn't replace my brain. I still want to ensure what I'm delivering is correct, useful and maintainable. It doesn't replace all the brainstorming, investigation, analysis, tests, that I do. But helps me iterate on all of those faster.

What is a PITA is random contributors dumping some stuff which they didn't properly review/test. The vibecoders. But how is that different from random "code dumps" of people who did a "wrong" fix ? Lack of education.

Instead of banning genAI altogether, maybe specify what is expected from the human using it. I.e. that person must "own" what it produced, know exactly what it contains, why it does it that way, etc...

BTW, Jellyfin has a precent decent and comprehensive set of rules which are a good middle ground, go read it : https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/contributing/llm-policies/

다음달 10일 노란봉투법(개정 노동조합 및 노동관계조정법)이 시행되면, 하청 노동조합이 원청 사용자를 상대로 단체교섭을 요구할 때 원청 노동조합과는 별개의 교섭체계를 구성하게 됩니다. 정부가 사업장 단위로 교섭창구를 단일화 해 원·하청 노조를 하나의 교섭단위로 보겠다는 기존 입장을 사실상 바꾼 셈입니다.

정부, 노란봉투법 매뉴얼 발표 “원청-하청 노조 분리해...

금일(2026.02.27) 정오를 기해, 팝픈 뮤직 반짝반짝 팝군 모델(이하 "키라팝군 모델")의 한국내 순차 설치 및 가동에 들어갔습니다.
키라팝군 모델에는 팝픈뮤직 High Cheers의 초기 버전이 설치돼 배포되며, 점포내 설치와 기체의 점포등록 및 네트워크 업데이트를 마무리하면 점포에 따라 17시~20시 정도부터 엔트리가 가능할 전망입니다.
High Cheers의 첫 엔트리 시에 Jam&Fizz 버전에서 데이터를 인계하며, 이후에는 Jam&Fizz 버전(내부적으로 우사네코)의 데이터와 High Cheers 버전의 데이터가 완전히 분리됩니다. 단, 혹시 모를 오류에 대비해 Jam&Fizz 버전에서 엔트리한 적이 없는 기존 플레이어분들은 Jam&Fizz 버전에서 엔트리, 플레이데이터를 남긴 후에 High Cheers로 인계하는 것을 권장드립니다. (팝픈 신규 플레이어분들은 굳이 구기체에 엔트리 안 하셔도 됩니다)
