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.

got inspired by some questions from phd students the other day; hope useful for others too! 🩷

"[Junior colleagues report] pressure from peers to use AI that they fear for their careers if they don't. If this describes you[,] then this is for you. [...]

I assume you care about the [harms of AI] I think you get these, deeply, and in addition also worry about yourself."

Unsurprisingly, you'll find my own website and blog (with entries going back close to 25 years) at https://www.mediaactivist.com where you can find out more about me. But for now here's a fresh #introduction! I'm a Britain-based #solarpunk passionate about helping to make the world a better place through the liberatory power of multimedia technology, particularly DIY media such as non-centralised social networks and good old fashioned #zines. My "day job" is freelancing mostly in non-profits while caring for my partner, who has myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) caused by #Covid she contracted six years ago today. By "night," I continue to work on something called The SilenceBreaker: https://silencebreaker.mediaactivist.com

意味がないからといって、無視して良い道理はない。意味をもたせる責任、建前を本音に変えていく責任は、今を生きる一人一人にある。

C'est dimanche soir, une mild take sur l'IA avant d'aller me coucher : ayant été, en tant que traducteur, obligé de bosser avec les LLM depuis qu'ils existent, (a) je reste ahuri que tant de gens le fassent de leur plein gré, voire avec enthousiasme, mais du coup (b) j'aurais cru qu'à ce stade, on serait en train de discuter des difficultés concrètes inhérentes au travail avec les LLM, je veux dire l'attention constante qui est requise pour repérer et corriger leurs conneries, la difficulté à recalibrer son attention face à des problèmes très différents de ceux qu'on rencontre en supervisant le boulot d'un humain (tout le monde dit "les IA c'est comme un junior/stagiaire", ce n'est pas mon expérience du tout — les LLM disent n'importe quoi d'une manière très différente d'un humain incompétent).

"Chromeによる市場の独占、ArcやZenなどChromium・Firefoxフォーク勢による急進的なUI革新、そして生成AI機能のブラウザへの不可逆的な浸透。これら破壊的な波に四面楚歌の状態で対処しなければならない状況下で、Mozillaは「見た目の刷新によるリブランディング」という短期的だが強力なカンフル剤に手を伸ばした。"

I’ve found myself feeling unmoored by the current crop of FOSS contributions. I genuinely don’t know how to proceed.

Of course there’s the slop where the PR checklist gets deleted & almost all items violated. The truly annoying part about this is that I always try to be kind & not a stickler about policies. I guess I don’t owe kindness to a bot, but it’s a bad look to be assertive in public. (1/5)
