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.
LLM coding assistants didn't create a split between craft-lovers and make-it-go developers. They revealed one that was always there.
For craft-lovers, what's being bypassed isn't the output but the act itself. Marx called this separation from the act of production. But the alienation isn't coming from the LLM. It's coming from a market that penalizes whoever produces output more slowly.

I took a walk and went to check the spot where they cut the FTTC line. There’s a hole, just like the one that was in front of my house when they broke the water pipes. The road is covered in dried mud, there’s a temporary patch to supply water to the neighborhood, and the main cable/fiber is completely severed. No one was working on it.
In other words, the providers' promises to restore service by this morning, or at the latest tomorrow morning, are pointless, because I don't think they'll be able to intervene over the weekend.
In the meantime, I've had to postpone an important installation because I need a stable connection. I can't do it at the office either, both because it's still unusable due to #Crapturday, and because I can't move all the machines there.
Some of my neighbors don't have a 4G/5G backup connection and are avoiding leaving their homes, since there's currently a spike in burglaries and their cameras are unreachable from outside. Even some alarm systems are affected, which in my opinion is a design flaw.
More, all the 4G/5G networks are overloaded (more than 2000 persons are affected by this problem) and it's also affecting the nearby hospital. Slowdowns there as well, since the nearest base stations are often the ones close to the hospital. Personally, I configured the Chateau to use the bands farther from the hospital, so as to leave more resources available for them.
It struggles a bit more and my bandwidth drops, but that's not a priority for me today.
At least today I had a good lasagna 😉
Use AI instead of hiring junior staff = stock price bump.
5 years later senior employees start to leave; there is no junior staff to promote and management panics.
Management does not want to spend money on new staff so they hire expensive contractors.
Contractors do a subpar job, charging 10x what an actual employee would cost (different budgets so its cool); and the company starts to go downhill and customers flee.
This starts a death spiral leading to either bankruptcy, acquisition, or restructuring.
The original management who approved the AI have all gone and cashed in their stock.
Just a guess at what is about to happen across the industry.

I just read a paper proposing that we use heart rate variability measured from developers as they're coding to create a detection flag for code quality issues. This is so theoretically and practically preposterous I have to ask myself if such things are a joke
Hiring is broken.
I was hired into Position 1.
I'm now in Position 2, and helping with interviews for a new Position 1 person.
Talent keeps saying "no new candidates" in the pipeline, which I find odd. There are plenty who can do this job.
So I used my résumé with a different name, rephrased some things but kept the skills & experience 100% the same, and applied to the position.
What does Talent say? "No new candidates."
😐
The problem is not the FBI buying tracking data without a warrant. Police forces don’t need a warrant to ask people what they saw or look at voluntarily disclosed CCTV footage.
The problem is that this data is being collected and aggregated in the first place. Oppression does not get better because you privatise it.

The extent to which core linux projects are laying the groundwork for age verification is very concerning.
I understand why some believe they are compelled to do so, and why others feel that it may be better to implement the most minimal conforming implementation in the hopes of fending off something worse.
But the line must be drawn such that no threat can obligate an OS to collect/store personal information - without that freedom, we face an uphill fight to protect general purpose computing.

Apple Announces New Mac Sales Record Following MacBook Neo Launch
Apple's CEO Tim Cook today said the Mac just had its "best launch week ever for first-time Mac customers," which suggests that the new MacBook Neo has been a hit with customers buying their first laptops or switching from Windows. Apple released the MacBook Neo last Wednesday, March 11. In the U.S., pricing starts at just $599 for the general public and an even lower $499 for college students.

Then they leak your data and your identity gets stolen.
The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.
Some politicians have already stated this plainly.
This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.
This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.
This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.
This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.
This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.
Do not let them do this to us.

Deleted my Chuck Norris comment from yesterday--hadn't paid close enough attention to him lately. Ugh. Apologies.
macht mich schon wieder so fertig, dass es in der diskussion um den fall #ChristianUlmen nun ausschließlich um gesetzgebung und bestrafung geht.
also ja, rechtliche handhabe muss natürlich (!) möglich sein und schutzlücken müssen geschlossen werden.
aber wenn wir jetzt schon wieder (hallo #aufschrei debatte, hallo #MeToo, hallo #pelicot etc.) nicht auch über gewaltprävention sprechen, dann kommen wir mit dem tatsächlichen #gewaltschutz leider nicht weiter.
