Researchers have found a way to turn off a webcam LED while in use.
This is why it was so important during the #microbit design to ensure the mic🎙 LED was wired to its power instead of GPIO. It’s crucial to teach the next gen about privacy & security (or their absence) in the tech they use every day

sounds like some good stuff is happening with #cpp 26. congrats to @thephd.dev for getting embed in.
im personally skeptical of contracts (that includes #rustlang btw) but that's been going on even maybe longer than embed was. them landing is a huge deal

"When can a trait be implemented without touching `#[doc(hidden)]` items?"
Simple question, extremely complex answer! Most intense 2000 lines I've written in a long time!
Still needs cleanup & refactoring, but it's passing tests!

![An example of a "public API sealed" trait is:
pub trait Example {
#[doc(hidden)]
type X;
}
Any impl of Example outside of its crate must name the Example::X item, and in doing so refer to non-public-API. Therefore, such an impl is outside the public API of Example, and may suffer breakage outside of major version bumps of Example's crate.
Crates can be public-API-sealed in many ways, including:
- #[doc(hidden)] (without #[deprecated]) on associated types without a default
- #[doc(hidden)] (without #[deprecated]) on associated constants without a default value
- #[doc(hidden)] (without #[deprecated]) on associated functions / methods without a default implementation
- associated functions / methods taking an "importable but not public API" parameter
- associated functions / methods returning an "importable but not public API" type
"Importable but not public API" means:
- The item has at least one path by which it can be imported from an external crate. That path passes through at least one item that is simultaneously #[doc(hidden)] and not #[deprecated], such as the imported item itself, a module, or a re-export).
- The item has no paths by which it can be imported such that no item along that path is #[doc(hidden)] and not #[deprecated].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ifkx7vuhzzmbqfpnmfgjf4uk/bafkreicrdkvh67txttqzyrwm6wilwdlq6o7vdw6vzmtecwrb7bj4hewdoy@jpeg)

A common question nowadays: Which is better, diffusion or flow matching? 🤔
Our answer: They’re two sides of the same coin. We wrote a blog post to show how diffusion models and Gaussian flow matching are equivalent. That’s great: It means you can use them interchangeably.
