It looks like the pivots are on opposite sides of the disk platters, which means that if one fails you essentially lose access to the data on that side.

That’s not really appreciably different from the same failure happening in a single-pivot drive, though it is more mechanical complexity packed into the same amount of space.

I’m not sure what the failure rates on HDD pivots are like. In my own experience the control board or motor is more likely to fail.

That is you can take the heat and radiate it into space as Infrared radiation. IR radiation is able to travel through space as it is made of photons.

I’m not sure how effective this would be for the amount of heat generated by servers, but it’s not actually fully disqualified as I thought it would be.

This is how the International Space Station deals with waste heat: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/473486main_iss_atcs_overview.pdf

It’s very slow compared with convective cooling, definitely not practical for running any high-powered computer hardware, slow enough that it can be considered disqualified.

There’s a community for that! https://sh.itjust.works/c/youtubeclassics

Believe it or not, different types of paint dry at different rates.

It’s the weekend!

Time to relax and watch some… Netflix!

the age of indie film has begun

brought to you by Netflix

Yes, but it might gain other buffs to Charisma between now and 24 months. Charisma is forced to 1 at 24 months regardless.

That is a very short amount of time to organize a nation.

Really nice overview

but where is the sauces

You might want to consider a different brand:

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.
