As with most things security: expecting security to be the problem of the other part(y|ies) is a recipe to security problems. Airlines need to make secure systems and processes, passengers need to try to protect their information. No amount of "well I'm the paying customer" means you completely stop playing any role in your own security.

I.e. saying you should be careful with how you display your boarding pass isn't the same thing as saying the airline's process has no blame.

excellent virtue signalling here -- however, commercial publishers, competitive attorneys, advertising sales and others are literally falling over themselves in an avalanche of doing exactly this, that you advise against (politely).

This moment reminds me very much of the late 1990s when it was common knowledge that "claim jumping a domain name" is very rude and not advisable, or the common knowledge among intellectuals that "ads will ruin the Internet" .. yes, polite people did not make companies to claim jump domain name registration, or push annoying and repetitive ads on the Internet..

I'm not sure in what world a 1.5 GHz four core machine is faster than a 64 core 2.0 GHz machine with not only 1 MB L2 cache per four cores, but 4 MB L3 cache per four cores, all 64 MB of which is usable by a single (or a few cores) when running code without many threads.

The Pioneer uses the C910 core (64 of them, as noted), not U74.

I had this realization a few years ago compared to other peoples' general search strategies.

An MIT professor on OCW (intro to machine learning) said something that has stuck with me - in paraphrase: "In order to learn something we must give it a name."

Now I just intuit which search terms work and can scan the results to find leads. A lot of the results and examples take coaxing to work, but sometimes you find that diamond that perfectly addresses your problem.
Hmm, I guess working on the website for a company that turned out to be a boiler room scam. They were a client of the agency I worked for, and sadly it seems like no one at said agency had really vetted them too well before accepting them as a client, since they got dropped pretty quickly once the legal issues started.

Second worst would probably be one of the clients that was in the medical industry. Not because they were a scam or sold bad products or anything like that. More because the company itself was apparently toxic to work for, our contact ended up getting royally screwed over by them, and customer reviews were often not particularly positive.
You said you struggled with writes... so I mentioned an advice on how to speed up writes... the internet know a lot more about this than me tho
Does the scanning software not check that a boarding pass is valid for that flight, and that it has not already been used? Seems like this should get flagged pretty quickly when the legitimate passenger scans their boarding pass.

IIRC, after the couple prances away hand-in-hand into the sunset, the camera pulls back through the fourth wall to reveal the darkened server room in which their minds are being emulated, blinkenlights glittering in the darkness among the monotone drone of case fans, zooming out to reveal an endless row of servers receding into the distant blackness in a scene reminiscent of The Matrix. If the showrunners intended it to be unambiguously happy, I feel like they would have omitted that part... Or maybe I'm hallucinating, because I found the implications utterly horrifying, much to my partner's consternation.

Not trolling, though I feel the same way about you with this post haha.

To answer your question, this library doesn't provide something like a `chat` method and doesn't provide anything like Stable Diffusion's `img2img` API either - that's not what it is - it's a library for predicting the next token (letter, word, pixel, etc.) based on data you train it on.

The most typical use cases for this model are: Auto-completion, auto-correct, spell check, search, etc.

However, if you watched the incredible video I shared in the original post you'd know that this completion concept can be applied to other interfaces: Chat, image generation, audio analysis/generation, etc. and in fact it is applied to LLMs like GPT.

This library doesn't get into any chat-specific methods like `ask` (question & answer), it just completes token sequences. If your goal is to create a ChatGPT clone, you would have to add methods like `chat`, `ask`, etc. and provide code for ongoing conversations - probably using an NLP library to parse queries into cursors like I'm trying in another project, or use "MULTI-HEADED ATTENTION BLOCKS" (lmfao) if you fancy that. Or if you wanted to create a Stable Diffusion clone, you'd have to provide those image-related methods needed. As far as the meaning of "from scratch" - I mean compared to using Ollama etc. to run local models or using OpenAI - just trying to enable you to build whatever model suits your data and use case.
So, if I understand this right, the buddy pass would have let him take an empty seat anyway. So wouldn't this make it quite obvious that there are no empty seats?

What if the floating point number is, for example, a number of seconds coming from a millisecond time source? Binary floating point numbers notoriously can't represent decimals precisely.

You would obviously be better off timing in the proper unit so that you have an integer number of milliseconds but that's the kind of situation where performance starts to drop, no one understands why until some dev starts digging deeply into the encoding and maybe even write a blog post about how he got a massive speedup by multiplying numbers by 1000.

UUIDs should not be used as database primary keys unless the DBMS recommends it or you have a well-studied special reason for it. Postgres and MySQL are meant to use bigserial by default, even Citus.

Criticism has a LONG history:

https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-16-critics-cha...

SOme crazy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Sewell

Critics in art, books, music (live, recorded), film, and tv have become personalities in their own right. The plots, drama, name calling, shit slinging of criticism pushes it almost to the level of performance art itself.

The anonymity of the the restaurant critic is in face not name. Its to avoid special treatment, bribes, questions of journalistic integrity. (and bribery in criticism is a whole topic in itself)

I agreed with the poster above me, that Open table should stuff it.

But that that does not change that they WANT to do it. Is there a good reason? Why is a great question to ask. Does every one need to be anonymous when reviewing products, dining, film, books, music? Is there a benefit from identity and candor? Would it change people's takes on things (the internet is filled with people behaving badly so I dont think so)? Maybe you want to be the critic of down and out eateries that I like to frequent, and Im going to follow your advice (or yours mine) because were identified and peers... (a social network of shitty eateries of sorts). I doubt open table is doing it for any of these reasons... there's something more basic there, what is a good question!

I find it unfortunate that Schneier chose to underline the XZ maintainer’s mental health issues (literally—he linkified it) as the reason he’d slowed down on the project, which then led to being open to taking on the malicious co-maintainer.

Schneier then follows that linkified fact up immediately with a parenthetical that Collin isn’t to blame. But then why call out that very potentially stigmatic thing at all, with sources to boot?

That explanatory note from Collin was buried in a mailing list and was at most a footnote to this story. Now it’s going to be part of the public accounting pushed by a famous security pundit with international reach, and with very little other context given to mitigate.

Either Schneier was trying to make a point of some kind, in which case he sure wheedled around it, or he should’ve been considerably more careful with essentially the only personal fact he chose to highlight about Collin. Either way, I’m disappointed.
changing the code by one character making it have an int overflow would have been more elegant.... no and the reason I even bring this point up is in early days of hacking into developers machines sometimes you find unpublished integer overflow exploits...

True, but alas, on iOS I found that a double-tap selected only one of the digit groups.

In my view the touch interface UX is just as significant - perhaps even more so in recent years - given that the backdrop to many of these identifier format decisions is ensuring nontechnical end-user support, under time pressure, over possibly quite unreliable channels, goes as well as it can.

I don’t think Lockdown Mode actually prevents you from watching YouTube videos. Some googling suggests that there might be issues when using the YouTube website in Safari – which makes sense, since Lockdown Mode disables a bunch of Safari features. But the YouTube app probably still works. (I haven’t tried though.)
They noted in the video that the system did say that the ticket had already been scanned.

It probably happens now and then that a ticket is accidentally scanned twice and so this message wouldn’t seem that out of place, and so they probably proceeded as normal without thinking that someone else really had already boarded with the same boarding pass.

> There's no character development to speak of, the plot is secondary, and visual spectacle is placed front and center.

I totally agree with this take, but I think Dennis' directing/writing is full of 'Telling' instead of 'Showing', not that he took "Show Don't Tell" to the extreme. The entire movie is full of instances where the audience is told aspects of the characters/world, but isn't shown them in the first Dune movie:

- We are told the Atreides ruled Caladan, but at no point is the audience shown who the Atreides' subjects are, or how their subjects feel about the Atreides. The only shots the film has on Caladan are beautiful yet empty areas of the Scottish Highlands. Where are the people they rule over? What does their way of life look like? None of this is shown, but it should have been.

- On Arrakis, we are only ever told how strong and powerful the Fremen are from characters like Duncan Idaho. In fact, the only time we get to see the Fremen fight is at the end of the movie when Paul, the child _who has never been in a life or death fight before_, makes a fool of a supposedly strong Fremen fighter! Dennis clearly wants the audience to perceive the Fremen as strong, yet he fails to illustrate their strength on screen. I understand that Dennis wants Paul to be seen as powerful too, but the resulting scene undercuts everything that the movie has told us about the Fremen's fighting ability.

If it isn't already clear, I don't think Dennis Villenueve is a particularly good film maker (though this is not to call him a bad one). He likes to have large empty scenery shots which are almost monochrome. I find that it makes his imagery striking but, ultimately, boring. For instance, his shots in Bladerunner 2049 mostly depict an empty wasteland that, though striking in its scale, doesn't drive one's imagination. The original Bladerunner's shots are so cluttered with detail and color that it fills every location with a unique character. This is why I think Bladerunner inspired so much other media after it; the audience's imagination can't help but linger on the sets and one off characters of the original film.
