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.
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

I see @cel's instance is down now for a while: anyone know if they are here at another instance?

@lapcatsoftwareJeff Johnson Never forget the immense price we all pay for the destruction of climate and drinking water! If we use them or not, the data centers destroy our environment.
@NatureMCPetra van Cronenburg @lapcatsoftwareJeff Johnson Even worse, they destroy the informed and educated populace on which any hope of meaningful democracy and liberation exists.
LLM access is relatively cheap now because the LLM vendors are discounting their price at a massive loss, subsidized by VC, in order to get you addicted and to drive as much skilled human labor as possible out of the workforce permanently.
The goal is monopolization, and if they’re successful, you’ll see monopolistic pricing in the future.
@lapcatsoftwareJeff Johnson already happening in some corners of the market. I know a person who became professionally dependent on using Perplexity. They gave them a 12 months free plan, cut short to 4 then asked to pay 20€ a month. After 8 months this plan was also eliminated and the price is now 200€ a month for less than what they used to get for 20. Obviously they're in a bad place now, and Perplexity is still likely losing money over that.

흠... 그렇다는건 아무래도 데드 스페이스 리메이크에서 공포를 일으키는 주된 요소는 난이도였다고 봐야...
데드 스페이스 리메이크 하고 있다. 현재 챕터2까지 클리어. 슈퍼 겁쟁이 모드인 스토리 모드로 플레이 중인데 무섭지가 않다. 아니 그야 당연히 스토리 모드로 하니까 안무섭지요. 라고 말할 수도 있겠지만, 호러 게임에서 공포감을 주는건 난이도만이 아니다. 점프스케어, 연출, 조명과 그림자 등이 복합적으로 공포를 일으켜야 하는데, 딱히 무섭지가 않다. 대충 보아도, 아 여기서 나오겠구만, 아 저기서 또 뭐 나오겠구만. 하는 그런 느낌. 신체훼손 연출도 내 입장에서는 그렇게 무섭지 않음.
“You are all worse than each other” is one for the history books, our modern world in a sentence.

Digg’s open beta shuts down after just two months, blaming AI bot spam
https://www.theverge.com/tech/894803/digg-beta-shutdown-layoffs-ai
For anyone running a content driven site like a forum or blog, a new site or user generated content is now a bad idea. The users are long gone because these AI chatbots steal everything and keep users on their apps. So, I am not surprised they shut down. Even big newspapers are reducing staff, and everyone thinks LLMs will write news for them and I have the Taj Mahal to sell you ;)

“Meshtastic and ActivityPub integration for seamless off-grid messaging” - interested to know what this means exactly! 👀

… like many of you, I’m curious about this (and the sentence I quoted is directly from the linked page). The only solution is for the #Beagleboard folks to send me a badge so I can fully research it 😉
@nixCraftnixCraft 🐧 this is vibecoded. The first thing I see is the "author" asking for Bitcoin. Thanks, but no thanks!
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.
