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.
A follow-up e-mail to attendees of our un-workshop on Growing the Open Social Web went out a few hours ago. It contains a link to a questionnaire where you can give us some feedback. We'd love to hear your thoughts on how to make future FediForum events even more successful.
@lcamtuflcamtuf 
I agree, and this disagrees. Like yes, many math names are "creative" instead of informative - terrible.
As a student, these terms scared me; made it difficult to discuss math (my memory for random names is bad).
As a lecturer, I encouraged students to avoid using names of theorems; instead use a descriptive name.
However, as someone who wrote math, it's hard to write clearly & avoid using obtuse terminology. You find yourself defining so many things that it happens naturally..

"... žijeme v jakési kognitivní disonanci. Jedná se o stav, kdy kategorie, které máme k dispozici, nedokážou postihnout realitu. Nejprve na úrovni interpretace, na úrovni porozumění, a poté samozřejmě na úrovni představivosti, elaborace, očekávání atd."
"... došlo ke změně technického charakteru. Od určitého okamžiku se jedinci formují ve vztahu ke stroji, a nikoli ve vztahu k hlasu matky nebo přítomnosti sourozence. Už není tolik bratrů a sester. Děti jsou většinou jedináčky. A v každém případě každý jedinec, každé dítě komunikuje ve vztahu k obrazovce. Je mi to velmi líto, ale tato změna již nastala. Nemluvíme o něčem budoucím ani o něčem současném. Mluvíme o něčem, co se stalo..."

@lcamtuflcamtuf inaccessible terminology is my biggest pet peeve across all of academia. maths, physics, electronics, cryptography. so frustrating.

Happy Bandcamp Friday! i’m not terribly persistent about self-promotion, but here goes
My album Lies in Reach is a 42 minute odyssey of experimental electronica touching on wide swathes of influences; it is also a highly personal story about depression and hope https://matthewlyon.bandcamp.com/album/lies-in-reach
i also put together a name-your-price soundtrack for a game from a jam, some spacey-inspired chiptunes https://matthewlyon.bandcamp.com/album/cohong-original-soundtrack
I donate all the proceeds from my music to local charities or other good causes

과거에 비해 레즈비언 정체성을 다루는 만화는 많아졌는데, 한편 '레즈비언' 단어 자체는 지금도 잘 안나오고 예외적으로 '레즈풍속'에서만 나온다는 지적. 오래전부터 '남성향 포르노'에서 '레즈'를 성적 대상화한 거랑 같이 묶어 봐야겠지.

If you'd like a video I can endorse, here's a good Tim Traveler video about the largest stadium in the world (now abandoned). Things of interest here:
1. I am entirely captivated by the abandoned piano at 2:35, evolved into a sort of permanent planter like the art car that lives in Toronto's Kensington Market
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF0rGhFf0c4&t=145s
2. The British pronunciation of "Funicular"
3. I am now very curious to see someone do a history of athletic self-improvement orgs being oppressed by governments
Consider:
- Sokol, early 20th century, Czechia
- Falun Gong, late 20th century, China
Both organizations that are fundamentally about outdoor calisthenics, their activities expanded and/or the government viewed their sheer size as a threat, and the Nazis/Communist Party of Czechoslovakia/Chinese Communist Party oppresses them.
How this fits into the Boxer Rebellion, where boxing self-improvement clubs *did* try to overthrow the government, you'd have to uncover through research.
Ok this is cool, I think this is the first time on all people testing the hub (aka fediprofile in https://hub.vocalcat.com) to mark as auto-boost a wordpress enabled site.

I keep seeing lots of people saying "LLMs are like compilers/assemblers for prompts"
Noooooooooo
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
LLMs are not compilers, and they're not assemblers. Determinism is a key aspect to assemblers and compilers.
And they *certainly* can't be part of a reproducible pipeline
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber It's pretty simple. If it's like a compiler, then why do you check in the output? And with all the work put into making compilers more efficient (not just making the *output* more efficient), why does it take so long and require an internet connection?

In the far future year of 2027, coding consists of asking one agent to coordinate separate agents to write plans, write code, review code, write tests and run tests. Adding each new app feature will cost $800 in subscription fees and boil enough water to fill 2 swimming pools.

Oh hey are you looking for a Vim alternative?
Helix has replaced Vim/Neovim for me almost entirely. I install it first-thing on new devices.
And the devs, far as I can tell, are not using AI, nor adding first-party support for it.

LLMs in FOSS
it is incredibly validating to me that prominent foss people who for decades embodied and reinforced the false idea that "all that matters is code" are now predictably falling into the LLM slop fad because, surprise fucking surprise, they never gave a single shit about people and simply rode the movement to have a space where they could whitewash their morality-unencumbered nonsense.

At the recent #Nix #Bern #meetup Michael Stapelberg, the inventor and maintainer of the i3 window manager, talked about why he switched to Nix.
Michael is a former Debian Linux Developer, and creator of the Go appliance platform gokrazy. Having occasionally tried NixOS over the years, Michael finally went all in in 2025.
Spring is approaching, and so is the next #BoilingTheOcean 🌿
When? Saturday, March 28
Where? Cultivation Space (Berlin)
It will be a single-day hacking event, focused on all the usual topics: mobile, local-first, platform, UX, and more. There will also be lightning talk slots in the evening.

Hey, so, I make stuff sometimes and I'm bad at any kind of promotions.
But if you'd like to listen to some of my music or even "buy" (free is a totally valid price option) some of it, it's at:
https://ramp-music.bandcamp.com
And if you'd like to read the one short story that I actually submitted for publication (and got accepted), you can read it here -- it's very short (the submission guidelines were only up to 2,000 words):
https://qtmag.ca/issues/defining-queer-liberation/oh-faded-origins
Maybe let me know if you listened/read/liked it?
My first reaction when I see someone raving about Paul Graham's essays is that they have probably not read much beyond Paul Graham's essays
