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 #DIDay - Sunday March 1st - we'll be online and hosting an onboarding workshop, to help folks get the most out of Mastodon. Tell your friends!

🔬 A new definition of ‘scientific research’ could soon lead to companies claiming to do just that without actually conducting science or research – at least if the #EU Commission's #DigitalOmnibus proposal passes. 🚌

It's probably a bad thing that the "Turing test" entered popular culture but the "ELIZA effect" didn't.

"I scraped 500+ one-star App Store reviews so you don't have to. Here's what actually killed their ratings"
TL;DR
1) Unwanted notifications
2) Forced account creation at launch
3) 'Slow'
N) Ads. No dark mode. Not saving logins. No timely customer support
Grain of salt required, as sourcing is flimsy, but interesting.

@zkatkat you said it perfectly. Imagine if software developers had to take the PE. Or sign off on their work etc.
They hijacked the Engineer title and many CS grads I have met dont even enjoy the field. Its all just a cash grab of a position. Sad, really.

I just hope we can all understand that there's a difference between "alternatives to American software stacks" and "alternatives to imperialist software stacks."
We have a rare window here where needs of the people and the needs of a democratic, representative state are aligned around independence, agency, privacy and security. But replacing a dependency on distant dominative software with local dominative software is only the illusion of progress.

KBS, MBC, SBS 등 지상파방송 3사가 23일 오픈AI를 상대로 저작권 침해 중단과 손해배상 청구 소송을 제기했다.
오픈AI에서 개발하고 상업적으로 운영 중인 생성형 AI 서비스인 챗GPT 학습에 지상파방송 3사의 뉴스콘텐츠를 무단으로 활용했다는 이유에서다.
이들 방송사를 대변하는 한국방송협회는 23일 보도자료를 통해 “자사의 핵심 자산이자 성과에 해당하는 뉴스콘텐츠를 대량으로 무단 이용하고 서비스에 노출하고 있기에 이번 소송을 통해 지식재산권 침해에 대한 법적 책임을 묻고자 한다”고 밝혔다.

Remember the long-since-expunged Android philosophy? "We also wanted to make sure there was no central point of failure, where one industry player could restrict or control the innovations of any other." Because the Wayback Machine remembers (https://web.archive.org/web/20140702115900/https://source.android.com/source/index.html)…
No, AI is not about to kill the software industry

weird question: is it still a foot fetish if you merely believe that some feet are beautiful, even if you have no interest in them sexually? (and can you relate to that belief?)

1. Yesterday, we broke the story that Kansas drivers licenses for transgender people were being immediately revoked by the state.
This morning, the ACLU filed suit in state court to block that process.
Thousands of trans Kansans watch with horror and hope.

요새 글을 보면 많은 사람들이 AI에 대해서 막연한 분노가 있는것 같긴한데... 사실 AI 자체 보단 그걸로 사람들을 대체(?)한다는 시나리오로 밀어붙이는 자본가와 경영진들 혹은 이 자본주의 시스템 자체가 원인 아닐까 싶긴함. AI 아니고 어떤 이세카이의 마법(?)이 있어도 즉 마법이 발견되고 마법이 계속 개량되고 등등 그걸로 노동자를 대체하고(?!) 분명 똑같은 일이 벌어질것이라 생각이 들고... 사실 AI는 별것이 아니고 그냥 손대기 힘들정도로 복잡해진 회귀 (물론 이것이 전부는 아니고) 혹은 자동화라고 보는것이 맞겠고...

Amazon is allowing gift senders to choose items from third-party sellers, which could open recipients up to new privacy risks.

So Duo (the multifactor authentication service that #infosec loves) has integrated with Persona (the privacy destroying, Peter Thiel backed, AI-linked, facial scanning and mapping "identity verification" software)
You know the recent Discord snafu that received such massive pushback and caused so many people to leave Discord that they've dropped their identity verification?
Yeah, that Persona.
Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...
...which means many working class folks will have no option but to be enrolled into and use Persona...
...or be fired.

@jakeJake Howard
The question is simple: How do you scale Django beyond a single database? The answer isn't simple, but it is fun and interesting.
