What is Hackers' Pub?

#Dubai is the tax-exempt playground where feckless, spoiled, entitled people go to live high off the hog while literal slaves are trapped all around them.

c: @allrightidiots

I’m concerned stuff like this will lead to a “dark forest” scenario, in which the risks of open source outweigh the benefits. Not today, but it's not impossible tomorrow.

Information warfare in Iran - what PSYOP looks like in 2026 https://techletters.substack.com/p/techletters-information-warfare-in

“To all influencers and other tax exiles in Dubai, the tax authorities wish you a safe return to France”

There must be a way to come to the fediverse to read about anything other than ICE, Trump and US politics, but I for sure can't figure out how and:
1. I actively avoid following people who boost US politics.
2. I actively try to stick to people based in...elsewhere that's not the US.
3. I disable boosts for those who boost ANY sort of politics.
4. I have hundreds of word filters.
5. I follow other languages than English.

And yet, every day....I'm force-fed what I'm actively trying to avoid.

I don't get it, that's why I'm less here than usual.

A bonobo’s pretend tea party suggests that imagination predates humans. A study in Science shows that Kanzi, a 43-year-old bonobo, could track imaginary juice and grapes in during a tea party, reliably distinguishing pretend from real objects. The findings suggest that at least some apes can mentally represent things that are not physically present, a capacity long viewed as uniquely human. https://sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260210040605.htm

there’s many things which piss me off about modern web design practices but the worst one would be interfaces which show you a list or table of some small item and force you to look at this shit with pagination of like 50 items at a time

and then you try clicking previous and next to actually find whatever it is that you’re looking for and pray to all gods that this thing isn’t too dumb to remember where it was and is going to just return some random items from the middle

motherfuckers will pour megabytes worth of javascript down your pipe, but sending more than a few kilobytes worth of actual payload is too much bandwidth for them

anyway this rant brought to you by my attempt of looking at a PR review on github and being stuck trying to figure out how to load more than 40 comments at once

you know what is good at handling large amounts of text at a time? computers. you should try it sometime. it’s kinda amazing how much text you can fit in a few hundred megs of RAM.

Friendship ended with Digikam, now Darktable is my best friend.

(Digikam is great for managing a photo library, but the image editor is no good, and that makes it difficult to keep up with since I have to use an external editor. Darktable, on the other hand, is merely serviceable at managing photos but is an amazing image editor.)

“Please don’t let me be the worst US president of the 21st century” said George W. Bush as his final finger closed around the monkey’s paw.

the "baritone" vocal type wasn't generally used until the 19th century. T-puberty vocal roles were specified as tenor or bass, and in the 18th century, someone we would today call a baritone might take both "tenor" and "bass" roles. this did seem like a head scratcher to me because there so obviously is a T-puberty voice deeper than a tenor while still being higher than a bass. but as I examine more 18th century vocal scores I think I am figuring out how they got by without "baritones",

Reading this, again, you get the sense that someone at Anthropic knows how the intel community misleads by using definitions of words that are different than everyone else believes. And the people at OpenAI simply don't know or don't care about that.
