In 2011 I signed up for a 10lb/month meat share from a local small farm. It's the usual happy animals type of affair. The meat (beef, chicken, and pork) tastes noticeably better than standard grocery store options.

This thread made me look up pricing, as I knew it hadn't gone up much. In 2011 I was paying $88/mo, so $8.80/lb. Today I'm paying $110/mo, $11.00/lb. An inflation calculator says that $88 in 2011 is $122.70 today, so from that perspective we're ahead of the game. And as this thread is pointing out, a lot of standard meat options have increased in price at a rate higher than inflation.

Similarly, when eggs were getting price gouged a few years back I noticed that both this farm as well as the vendors at the local farmers market who sold eggs kept their prices stable.

I hadn't thought about it before tonight but things like higher end meat & farmers markets are often more expensive options than going to the local supermarket, it might not be as much as people think due to things like this.

Well, German politicians for one sure love their automotive industry, and it's traditionally more important to them than mostly everything else.
When you rent, you are still paying for taxes, fixes, insurance, mortgage, and all other costs associated with the home you live in.

But you pay even more, on top of all of that, so that the landlord can make a profit. Otherwise, there is no incentive to rent the home out.

If you own your own home, though, you are not paying for anyone else's livelihood: that profit all goes to you in the form of reduced living expenses. And in the end, you pay off your mortgage and now outright own an asset that can benefit your descendants for generations (whether they choose to keep it or sell it).
I've tried it too, and it has some things I like, like the AI stuff seems pretty good compared to other solutions I've seen.

But all these tools suffer I think from being too opinionated. Like I get why they do that, and to some extent that's the right approach, but you need to add enough configuration options so that you don't end up with one thing that's a deal breaker.

For me it's conversation view. Emails don't come in conversations, it's totally outside the protocol and not supported within the information available (all such "threads" are by definition a guess as to what's happening) and I don't understand how any power user puts up with it.

Am I really the only one who has threads with the same subject line that branch into private conversations between specific people and/or change topic a few times?

How can an email client claim to be serious if it can't literally just show me list of the fucking emails I have received in the order I received them. Like how can this still be a thing?

And why can't I always just sort by attribute, like an XL sheet, sort by sender, by date, by subject, by whatever I want. Like this is the most basic function for any kind of table with rows. And yet...

Is there any article explaining what they actually did, or are alleged to have done? With the VW scandal, there was a fairly in-depth discussion of the technical aspects of it. But all the articles about Cummins seem exceedingly vague.

At this point I wish people from the EU would just understand "Congrats, this doesn't apply to you." The messaging preferences in the EU are totally different due to historical reasons, primarily the high cost of SMSes at the end of the aughts.

A combination of factors; cost, customer expectations, and convenience.

It's easy to produce a lot of power, it's not easy to do so reliably and within emissions specs. That's where the cost comes in, and where customer expectations come in. If VW is going to be offering a 110 kW 2.0 liter engine, well, Mercedes-Benz can't come in and offer a 90 kW 2.0 liter engine just to meet specs. At the end of the day, margins are fairly thin and regulators are compliant. It's cheaper to just cheat the emissions than make the engine meet emissions specs.

The convenience factor is diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue); the stuff really does work very well. However, dispensing it at the most effective rate in regards to emissions would mean it has to be topped up between service intervals; very inconvenient. Increasing the tank size is a non-starter because packaging space in modern vehicles is at a premium. So the dirty secret (at least for Mercedes-Benz, confirmed by one of their engineers) is that they calibrate it to last service intervals; not to meet emissions. It's only in rare cases where the owner has to refill the tank themselves.

In regards to the AdBlue situation, if you're in Europe where there are a lot of diesel passenger vehicles and also a lot of diesel trucks and buses, next time you're in the city or on the highway, pay attention to the characteristic diesel stink, either as a pedestrian or a driver. You're never going to smell it from a truck; it'll always be a passenger vehicle. :)

I recently did something similar - tunneled IP over an RF protocol that was definitely not designed for such nonsense, and was convinced that PPP would be a much more appropriate link protocol. It even handles IP address assignment and encryption out of the box.

Preferential attachment is a natural phenomenon, but corporations have gotten really good at exploiting it. This is one reason I favor just breaking up businesses beyonda. certain size.

Huh, on Android or iOS? On Android the backup settings page offer a backup to Google Drive, it also says "Your messages will also back up to your phone's internal storage."...

On my phone the on-device backup can be found in /storage/emulated/0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases, and I remember reinstalling WhatsApp, logging in with my phone number, and it found the backup and restored the messages.
> If I get a new iPhone and set it up without restoring it from a backup and I have NOT opted into "Messages in iCloud" (I personally have not), then my entire iMessage history is unavailable to me on my new iPhone.

Ok, the difference between an FTP server and the iMessage server is that iMessage only buffers the messages for a few hours (until delivered) where as FTP server would persist it for longer. That's completely irrelevant in this case though - both operate as a temporary storage space to which multiple clients owned by different parties connect to, and I still don't understand why it should be acceptable to connect a third-party client to one but not the other?

> Then you also believe that forgoing E2E encryption is an acceptable tradeoff for exercising that freedom.

If there was some technical reason why E2E wasn't possible then sure, but there's none - as both GnuPG, browsers, SSH clients, XMPP, and Beeper all demonstrate, a third-party client can just as well implement an E2E protocol, and the only reason we can't have that with iMessage is because it would compromise Apple's vendor lock-in.

> it's that you don't seem to understand the consequences of that position

Which are? I still don't understand how Beeper being out there affects me negatively as an Apple user? Even if we assume Beeper actually had some security vulnerabilities and was literally sending message contents in plain unencrypted form over an untrusted network, it still wouldn't be any worse than texting those people via SMS, which is unencrypted by design?

It depends entirely on your objective. If your goal is to run a site that is your own little corner of the internet where the only views expressed must conform to your precise world view, then that is totally fine and can be very, very effective and (relatively) easy to implement. The content policies for most private companies are basically this, as are many newspapers. Perhaps the most key point is that on those sites, the content is theirs.

It all falls apart once you move to user-generated/-contributed content. So, for example, if you want to create a place for the best modern thinkers to come and debate how society should address the modern challenges of our time, how much do you moderate that? Your willingness to interfere with the discussion is directly at odds with your goal of becoming "the" place for this sort of thing. Authors are well aware that the audience/following they build is at least somewhat tied to the platform they use to build it, and many people - possibly some of the people you really want - are going to balk at a policy of "we can take down any post at any time for any reason". It doesn't make your policy right or wrong, it's just at odds with your cool business idea, that's all.
So, here ist your comment with the grain removed (quote -> GTP summary -> GTP re-expanded to original length):

Why didn't you word it like this in the first place? (Mind the compression efficiency: 18 bytes improvement over the original, 109 bytes versus 117 bytes gzipped.)

So if anyone wants to learn language modeling stuff, do you recommend starting with transformer and just learn how to deploy and finetune LLMs (given that ordinary people can't train these LLMs)?
Fair enough. I dislike misuse of the "terrorism" word too. But if
someone else had done exactly this, for slightly different motives...
It's not a falsehood. It allows for a lot of bad stuff. Like the following

function Thing1()
begin
do important things
if condition
goto thisIsBad
end if
do more important things
end

function Thing2()
begin
do different things
label: thisIsBad
perform actions
end

And people would do the equivalent of that. You'd run across uninitialized variables, variables accessed outside of scope. Yes, there are disciplined ways to use GOTOs. And most control flow can be implemented with conditionals and jumps, but most people are not disciplined.
Funny, because I came out with the almost opposite impression: that perhaps the legislators will require something stronger than even Rust to consider something "safe" because Rust still allows easy access to things like `unsafe` and FFI like most other languages - and true safety may require more than that.

I think our biases, together with the lack of a firm conclusion in this post, leaves the door open to vastly different interpretations.
