News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I use GPT-4, it's like pairing up with a junior developer who read all the documentation.

I follow the same steps as always to design the code, but when it's time to implement something, I ask the bot to do it, then I review it and move on to the next function.

I've built a few systems for low-cost airlines in South America. There shouldn't be a lot of difference with bigger airlines around the world.

The boarding software usually checks that:

  - The boarding pass is valid (checksum)
  - The flight state is correct e.g. 'boarding' and 'open'
  - The passenger did check-in
  - The passenger haven't boarded yet
More advanced implementations can match the gate with the flight, this is optional.

The beep usually is a response from the reader indicating that the code has been read successfully.

The result of the operation is displayed in a screen and the attendant has to read it and act accordingly.

The hope is always there, just change the purpose.

Instead of a life without suffering one expects to end the pain.

That is the final hope that the suicidal people embrace.

I think a better approach to a strong security and privacy would be to use Whonix[0] in Qubes[1].

It's not too hard[2].

After reading the original doc, by the style used and some slang (although it could be on purpose), I would say the author is from Chile.

I'm glad to find people that still fight the system in this side of the world.

I'm also looking to upgrade later this year, I suggest the Dell Precision 5510 or 3510
In Bolivia, starting this year, all the electronically printed invoices have to include an QR code that contains the necessary information for tax filling.

Having one of the worst tax system in the world I'm surprised that somebody had the idea to implement this mechanism.
