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.
On Friday a judge ordered those who uploaded the videos to YouTube to remove them. By Saturday, a backup of the videos was available online as a torrent and on the Internet Archive.
we've reached the "dont complain about AI because its hyperbolic and only drives people apart, morality isnt a binary!" part of the curve.
imagine resisting anything with even like 5% strength, imagine! if you are a critic of the technology, however nuanced, it's on you to make cases and explain how we are going to use something for its benefits without succumbing to it's costs. and right now the cost is total alienation and dispossession in a fascist surveillance dystopia

The rule that allow the Customs and Border Protection officers to search through your luggage without a
warrant does not extend to your electronic devices. Border officers need a warrant signed by a judge if they want to sift through material that personal to look for evidence of a crime.

ActivityPub over LoRa mesh could happen. It would need to go on a diet though, so things like that bulky and useless @context would need to go.

#Caturday
Update: we've decided to go ahead and submit the CFP to 
@COSCUP 2026. The track will be called Fediverse & Social Web—think FOSDEM's Social Web devroom, but in Taipei. #COSCUP is free to attend, like FOSDEM.
If the track is accepted, would you be interested in coming to Taipei (Aug 8–9) to give a talk?
(Boosts appreciated!)

Apparently I'm not supposed to leave my new dumbbells close to "nude fire".
Okay, but then, if I dress the fire is it fine? If the fire is wearing pants, all good?
I'm very confused.
(Also yes I won't put dumbbells with some rubber parts next to any fire, obviously)

Today's #Caturday is brought to you by my brother's cat Kerstin, whose belly is not a trap! She will gently push your hand away with a back paw when she wants you to stop.
It's pi day, so I'm having pizza for lunch.

After more than 10 years, 
@jazzband is sunsetting.
I started it in 2015 because maintaining Open Source alone was exhausting. The idea was simple: shared access, shared responsibility. It's been an honor to watch it grow: 3,135 members, 84 projects, and a lot of code shipped together.

小説投稿サイトに必要なのは「AI読者」だ——埋もれた作品に、最初の読者を。｜Masa Kei https://note.com/masa_kei/n/n05a4a9a0f24f
> このAI読者という仕組みは、書き手だけでなく投稿プラットフォーム自体にも利点がある。
> 読者ゼロの作品を減らすことにより、書き手の離脱率が下がる。AI読者がSNSで作品を紹介することは、これまで閉じた生態系だった投稿サイトと外部の読者をつなぐ経路になる。埋もれた名作が発掘されるたびに、そのプラットフォームへの信頼が積み上がる。
> コンテストの一次審査をAI読者が担い、AIによる寸評を読みつつ人間の編集者が作品を読む。そういう運用も現実的だ。
ということを考えている人もいるというのは、意外ではないですね。で、あなたたちはいったい何を求めて小説を書いて/読んでいるんです？

Machine translations are often brought up as a gotcha whenever I criticize LLMs. It's worth pointing out two things: Machine translations existed decades before LLMs, and yes, machine translations are useful. However: I would never in my life read a machine translated book. Understanding what a social media post is talking about in rough terms? Sure. Literature? Absolutely not. Hell, have you ever seen machine translated subtitles? It's absolute garbage.
I have the impression that primarily anglophone people don't read as much translated literature, because so much good literature already exists in their language, so this issue may not be as familiar within that demographic. As someone who did not grow up anglophone, I can tell you there is a world of difference between a good and a bad translation even when done by humans. Machine translations are not even on the scale.

As someone who is unaware with how depositions work, when watching a deposition video and someone off-camera keeps saying “objection” but the deponent continues to answer without consulting their counsel, what is going on there? Is the statement of objection just there for the record, or is a judge/mediator off camera silently waving away the objection? Why does the deponent keep answering?

You don't need to date a boy to have a "boyfriend shirt" or a "boyfriend sweater".
You can date a girl who is bigger than you and borrow their clothes instead.
