I have a first edition hardback, but second printing, so it isn&#39;t worth much. Maybe I&#39;ll leave it in a university corridor and thrill some random passerby.</p>

I hadn&#39;t caught that fluck is explicitly LPDR-in-a-box. My systems criticism is the use of ML on public camera feeds more generally as a loophole. But, as flock demonstrates, these companies don&#39;t even seem to have 3rd party auditable access logs. Or, they do but the logs aren&#39;t exculpatory.</p>

More likely it was slightly more meaty source material than Star Wars or MCU. The movies do make changes from the books, for the better, movie-wise, but not nearly as much as, say, Blade Runner. I agree that more deviations were probably needed to make the films more broadly accessible. (All that text at the beginning is a dead giveaway.)</p>

<p>always a good day when you can remove a complex piece of code and make a more powerful system that is easier to understand</p><p><a href="https://github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/glasgow/pull/873" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/gla</span><span class="invisible">sgow/pull/873</span></a></p>
