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.
In the competition to hold our attention, there's little incentive to regulate the stuff that gets clicks, no matter how harmful that stuff is.
It's hard not to notice the uptick in inflammatory content, and not surprising at all that these companies are well aware of it, even encourage it.
The average level of certain comments on some platforms is truly worrying. Although English is not my native language, I believe it is quite clear that the first part of the latest blog post talks about my first experience with FreeBSD, in 2002. Yet some people keep saying that it is impossible that “with 64 GB of RAM you cannot use mutt while compiling” and they start with the insults.
I should know better by now, but every time it still makes me smile. 🙂

“Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason... a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.”
Or driving any kind of car. AI, like cars, aims to reconfigure everyday life in a way that’s vastly more energy-hungry and polluting… and profitable for a few.

It's cool how humans who can easily get sick absolutely have to "return to office" but AI who can't get sick can work from home

We have a data race on our hands, which is exactly what Swift concurrency is supposed to solve for. Let’s figure out how we managed to get into this mess, and then we will get our feet wet with an isolation tool that predates Swift concurrency: locking.

Nuance is not nuance if it doesn't understand time, place, and the fact that even with nuance different positions have different degrees of justification
If your nuance is coming from a place of "thing is getting too much blind hate" without considering that while maybe /blind/ hate is bad, but the backlash its getting is more justified than its continuation...
then you're not being nuanced, you're being a shill
