How do airline points work? I’m confused.

I’m trying to book my first award trip for my family of four at the end of October.

About week ago, the flights I wanted were 93,000 points total for all four of us. September dates were priced about the same, so I figured I had a couple of weeks to earn the remaining points before booking.

Now those exact flights cost 140,000 points, even though the cash price is basically unchanged.

Why did the points price increase so much if the dollar fare stayed the same? Does the value of points fluctuate independently from the cash price, or am I missing something about how award pricing works?

I’m new to this, so I’d appreciate any explanation.

AMDGPU kernel crash/reboot during llama.cpp Vulkan inference on Radeon 780M

I’m trying to debug a Linux server that hard-reboots/disappears from the network a few seconds after starting llama.cpp inference with Vulkan.

Image: ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:server-vulkan

llama.cpp args:

  --hf-repo unsloth/gemma-4-12B-it-qat-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL  --no-mmproj  --ctx-size 65536  --parallel 1  --threads 10  --threads-batch 12  --gpu-layers 999  --gpu-layers-draft 999  --device Vulkan0  --device-draft Vulkan0  --spec-type draft-mtp   --spec-draft-n-max 4  --reasoning off

Relevant kdump dmesg: RIP: 0010:amdgpu_sync_free+0x2a/0x60 [amdgpu] amdgpu_job_free_cb+0x1e/0x110 [amdgpu] drm_sched_free_job_work+0x16c/0x200 [gpu_sched]

Has anyone seen amdgpu_sync_free / drm_sched_free_job_work crashes with llama.cpp Vulkan?

Is there a known-good kernel/Mesa/linux-firmware combo for Radeon 780M + Vulkan inference?
