  • Valve informs customers about data breach, personal data stolen

    Jump

  • Valve shares delivery-related information with CEVA so that it can ship Steam hardware in Europe, and it appears that this personal data is what was stolen. This personally identifiable information (PII) may include your name, address, country, phone number, email address, and the details of the products you ordered. CEVA stores customer data for up to 90 days after an order is assigned to them, which means that the data for lots of customers may have been leaked. Fortunately, payment information, Steam account details, authentication codes, and more are not stored at CEVA.

    The leak was not from Valve but from the shipping company used to distribute their hardware in Europe. Your Steam account details are not leaked, but any information related to shipping probably is.

    Following this breach and the subsequent exfiltration of data, Valve has asked customers to be wary of contact attempts from fraudulent entities who have taken hold of your leaked information and may use it to prove that they are genuine. Customers do not need to change their passwords, but they definitely should not share their account details with any person identifying them as a courier service for your hardware.

  • Not like reddit is relevant these days.

    Even within the lemmy user community people still occasionally refer to reddit because there isn't a better source for some things. Outside of lemmy, reddit is a household name alongside facebook, snapchat &etc; people who don't use it still know what it is. I think your conclusion is more aspirational than currently real.

  • Volume, and breadth of subject material. For language model purposes the specific content isn't really important, it's the wide variety of language samples from many sources, all in the same data format. You could get similar samples from other platforms, but you'd have to compile them from multiple sources and then standardize them somehow for input as training data.

  • All of their business decisions for the past few years have been centered around monetizing Reddit content as training data for machine learning models. Most likely this recent decision is an attempt to block data scraping.

  • New Mexico Judge Appoints Himself Meta's New Product Manager

    Jump

  • Judges are not product designers. Judges are not trust & safety experts. Judges are not child safety experts. They do not understand how all these things work together. They do not understand the tradeoffs of their decisions.

    Arguably, neither does Meta. Or alternatively, they do understand perfectly and have intentionally made malicious decisions, forcing the judge into the position of taking those decisions away from them.

    We need some kind of third-party oversight group that has enforcement powers, but is somehow immune to corporate influence, goverent overreach, and religious fundamentalism.

  • what do you think of self driving cars?

    Jump
    1. In order for these vehicles to operate, they must all be surveillance platforms. They are covered in cameras, microphones, radar, sonar, lidar, and other types of sensors. The more of these vehicles are on the roads around you, the more real-time surveillance data is being collected. And you better believe those cameras are doing license plate recognition of every other vehicle they pass, in case there's any incident that would involve an insurance claim. Basically they are mobile Flock on steroids.
    2. Training machine learning models requires data. The edge cases have the least data for training, because they involve unusual weather or road conditions, specific lighting situations, weird/poorly designed intersections, or other uncommon circumstances. Edge cases will never be trained out because there will never be enough data for each specific case to have a meaningful effect on the self-driving model. Edge cases present the highest likelihood of injury to humans, whether as passengers, other drivers, or bystanders. People will continue to die, and somewhere in a meeting room someone will be presenting calculations to a board about whether it's worth investing in better safety controls for their vehicles, or just bribing politicians to shield them from regulations and lawsuits.

  • Essentially what they do is have one human operator watching ~20 vehicles at the same time. When one of the vehicles gets into a situation that the automation can't handle, it alerts the operator to take manual control. The cars aren't being remotely operated 100% of the time.

  • It's a very clear visualization. I do agree that some indication of the scale/activity of the instances would be a nice addition.

    I also think you should add a date, as the relationships and active servers will likely change over time. If you keep it up, eventually you'll have a collection that illustrates the changes.

  • I generally feel more comfortable having /home as a separate partition. It makes editing my partitions with external tools like gparted very easy, and I can just wipe /root whenever I like without having to think too much about. Also, are we considering btrfs to be reliable now? Last time I looked at it, it was still in the prototype/unstable phase and I chose ZFS for my server instead.

    Another reason I keep /home separate is that I have systems with multiple Linux versions installed. Each has their own /root, and they share /boot, /swap and /home.
