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.

Introducing TestFlight version of my latest app: Changelogs. It's an app that lets you track releases of other applications. Quickly add your favorites and receive notifications when new versions are available.

Started this one almost 4 years ago and finally decided to release to public. Looking for testers to find any issues before release to App Store.

"What was normalized in Gaza will not stay in Gaza. This is perhaps the most important thing to understand, and the thing that the framing of the current conflict as a local, bounded military operation most dangerously obscures. Every targeting algorithm stress-tested over Gaza’s densely populated streets, every AI system whose performance data is being collected in real time, represents intellectual property and operational knowledge that will flow, via export and emulation, through the global defense technology market into other conflicts, other theaters, other cities."

As a human being you have the right to be able to understand the world. That is why education is so important.

Any technology that hinders your understanding (even if it seemingly gives you capabilities) is deeply in- and anti-humane.

이스라엘의 이란 공습 통보에 미국이 어쩔수 없이 나섰다는 뉘앙스의 해명...인데, 다시 말해 미국이 이스라엘의 꼬붕이면서 주도권 있는냥 가오 세우려고 그 사달을 냈다는 이야기. 백주대낮에 살해당한 이란 초등학생들이 어이 없어 했을 유치함.

RE: tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116165

I think that is actually the biggest problem with those systems.

It's not losing some random skill that we have made superflous, it's about taking skills that are the foundation for your agency in this world and your ability to understand it.

It is a fundamental human right that is being taken from you for the sake of efficiency and convenience.

맛돈(혹은 미스키 등) 앱이 플레이스토어가 아니라 F-droid에 나와도 쓸 의향이 있나요? (플레이스토어에 있었다면 충분히 썼을 앱이라고 가정했을 때)

You're paying AI companies a monthly subscription fee to be fingerprinted like a parolee.

I got bored and ran uBlock across Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini simultaneously.

Claude:

  • Six parallel telemetry pipelines.
  • A tracking GIF with 40 browser fingerprint data points baked into the URL, routed through a CDN proxy alias specifically to make it harder to block.
  • Intercom running a persistent WebSocket whether you use it or not.
  • Honeycomb distributed tracing on a chat UI because apparently your conversation needs the same observability stack as a payments microservice.

ChatGPT:

  • proxies telemetry through their own backend to hide the Datadog destination URL from blockers.
  • uBlock had to deploy scriptlet injection — actual JS injected into the page to intercept fetch() at the API level — because a network rule wasn't enough.
  • Also ships your usage data to Google Analytics. OpenAI. To Google. You cannot make this up.
  • Also runs a proof-of-work challenge before you're allowed to type anything.

Gemini:

  • play.google.com/log getting hammered with your full session behavior, authenticated with three SAPISIDHASH token variants, piped directly into the Google identity supergraph that correlates everything you've ever done across every Google product since 2004.
  • Also creates a Web App Activity record in your Google account timeline. Also has "ads" in one of the telemetry endpoint subdomains.

When uBlock blocks Gemini's requests, the JS exceptions bubble up and Gemini dutifully tries to POST the error details back to Google. uBlock blocks that too. The error messages contain the internal codenames for every upsell popup that failed to load.

KETCHUP_DISCOVERY_CARD.
MUSTARD_DISCOVERY_CARD.
MAYO_DISCOVERY_CARD.

Google named their subscription upsell popups after condiments and I found out because their error handler snitched on them.

All three of these products cost money.
One of them is also running ad infrastructure.

I talked about David W. Hogg's  "Why do we do astrophysics?" in our seminar today. Thank to @aleksAleks Scholz who posted about it here first!

I can only encourage everyone working in or interested in science and/or fundamental research to read it, it has broad relevance and the crucial parts, to me, are not even the LLM ones, but the ones that define the basis on which LLM use in astro is discussed.
