Comment this may create challenges in their boarding metho (Score 1) 86

Itâ(TM)s unclear what happens when one aspect of their system changes unless other parts also change. The bags flying free was designed to make boarding more efficient, which reduces gate time. If bag check is not free, then itâ(TM)ll mean more people bringing their bags on plane. This means boarding will be more complex and time consuming. Itâ(TM)s not clear their âoefirst come first chooseâ seat process will work as well, as people trying to backtrack, or holding up the entire boarding process.

Comment since when is everything API ? (Score 5, Interesting) 24

I get that AI is costly, hard to run on the average desktop, and hence APIs. However, it seems we've shifted as a community to fully supporting proprietary web APIs where we not only don't have source code but even lack the binaries. Couldn't slashdot moderators help by promoting truly open source tools, especially AI, that can be run locally, even if it requires a 10k hardware? It seems very reasonable if a company sells API as cost-sharing model. Even so, at least we could support entities that fully open their models and have active "hacker" communities that are not bound to a proprietary service.

Comment any stats double dipping? (Score 1) 99

Presuming they used DNA to find the suspect, located with some statistical certainty (say one in a million). I'm wondering then if that person's DNA match was the presented as proof, eg "one in a million this isn't the killer"? If so, isn't this a form of double dipping? If you "used up" the one in a million chance to find the suspect, can you use the statistics dice again to claim that this suspect is also the killer?
