“So violated”: Wyze cameras leak footage to strangers for 2nd time in 5 months

I’ve got a USB SSD that I can’t use, because I need to “unlock” it in a windows device first. I can’t even re-partition it in linux.

Is this Bitlocker FDE? Have you tried using Dislocker?

If that doesn’t work, I recommend building a gparted live USB. Once you’re up and the SSD is visible, create a new partition table

Complete this step with no other changes. This shouldn’t care if the partitions on the disk or encrypted, it will reset the partition table which will make the disk appear blank, as if it was never formatted. You should then be able to create any new partitions you want in the available space.

! THIS IS DESTRUCTIVE !

But if you couldn’t access the encrypted partition then the data was effectively destroyed already.

The age of something has no correlation to whether or not spoiling it for someone is valid.

Eh, I don’t know… if someone complained (unfacetiously) that I’d spoiled Romeo & Juliet for them I’d disregard basically everything they said after.

As Sahib explained in replies on Reddit and X, Hytale is serving as the host for the crossplay session, and while block placements are translated to equivalent blocks on the Minecraft side, it seems like only the prototype’s Hytale player is capable of placing new blocks. Considering he’s handbuilding a bridge between two different games with their own systems and mechanics, it’s not surprising that Sahib says “currently many things are Broken.”

Based on this, it sounds like the Hytale server is providing map data to the Minecraft session, which is why the block placement works on the Hytale side but not the Minecraft side. He must have created some kind of translation table for block types between the engines.

AI coding tools can do common, simple functions reasonably well, because there are lots of examples of those to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is a large corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools can’t do sophisticated, specific-case solutions very well, because there aren’t many examples of those for any given use case to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is a small corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools can’t solve new problems at all, because there are no examples of those to steal from real programmers on the Internet. There is no corpus of data to train with.

AI coding tools have already ingested all of the code available on the Internet to train with. There is no more new data to feed in. AI coding tools will not get substantially better than they are now. All of the theft that could be committed has been committed, which is why the AI development companies are attempting to feed generated training material into their models. Every review of this shows that it makes the output from generative models worse rather than better.

Programming is not about writing code. That is what a manager thinks.
Programming is about solving problems. Generative AI doesn’t think, so it cannot solve problems. All it can do is regurgitate material that it has previously ingested which is hopefully close-ish to the problem you’re trying to solve at the moment - material which was written by a real thinking human that solved that problem (or a similar one) at some point in the past.

If you patronize a generative AI system like Claude Code, you are paying into, participating in, and complicit in, the largest example of labor theft in history.

Oh, that’s nice!

plug for somafm

That idea being “I want a Catholic monarch on the throne”.

Ah, interesting, is V an anarchist?

I’ve seen the movie more recently than read the book, so I don’t remember the exact presentation, but… don’t you think the phrase:

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

Imply that V expects governments to exist?

V has both personal and ideological problems with the current establishment, but I’m not sure that he’s completely against any establishment.

I am really hoping that the EU push for Linux is going to result in government-funded contributions and long-term contributors to open source projects.

The movie was well produced and I think it delivers the intended message within its self-contained universe, but… considering that the entire story is framed in the context of the Gunpowder Plot, from beginning to end, I think that message is muddled when you understand the actual history behind it.

This symbol says “I want to blow people up for God!”

Symbols should be chosen with more care, and not adopted from movies or comic books.

Also, notably, Guy Fawkes was in no way anti-establishment or anti-monarchy, and was certainly not an anarchist. Fawkes (and his group) wanted to replace a Protestant monarch with a Catholic one.

ugh, why is the top image so sloppy

The technology enables the surveillance state. Therefore the technology is not amoral.

Enabling a surveillance state is not amoral.

I mean… do you know what community you’re in right now?

No no, the imperative “get six” overrides the previous “buy a gallon of milk” if the “they have eggs” condition is met.

“get six” implies x === 6 not x = x + 6, that would be “get six more”

The real problem is that “buy” was only specified in the first case. Because the conditional was met, he should get six gallons of milk but not buy them.
