A chicken coop is a major time investment for most urban/residential owners.

Just keeping predators out alone is an ongoing effort, weather events damaging it, then the smell/near constant cleaning, sick chickens/vaccinations/health checks, and you better figure who is doing all of this if you ever want a vacation or are sick yourself.

If you're a full time farmer, this is just your normal day, and a personal chicken coop isn't even a blip. But people with no farming/livestock experience don't even have an idea of what they're signing up for. I've known two different people that didn't last two years and were out thousands.

And when the price of eggs go back down, taking it out is also work.

PS - Check local zoning/rules; for example some have size/chicken limits or require it to be XYZ feet from the property line (due to smell/noise).
Commercially, they wash the cuticle off the eggs in the US before they are sold. This means they have to be refrigerated.
Even if it’s not lax. It will spread. There is economy of scale benefits by having larger farms.
YouTube serving content with ads would be more AVOD (on-demand with ads) vs FAST. FAST typically means a linear feed programmed to play specific content at specific time just like tuning into a channel on OTA or cable networks.
I'm 50 and grew up in a medium sized New England mill town. One of the few memories I have of my grandfather is taking a quick trip to the local egg farm to get some eggs. These have all but disappeared from New England.

I asked out of interest and explained my point of view, imposing neither standards nor priorities. Why are you reacting so hostile to a question?

Isn't it rather your intention to enforce your "standard" for questions and opinions that suit you?
>but radio also did a pretty good job of keeping that absolute tripe off the air. Good radio stations would also surface good local bands and cater to regional tastes.

If ever there was a more censorious medium, I have yet to see it. Not only content dictating _what_ could be played, it dictated _how_ it could be played. This wasn't just about contemporary HipHop and vulgarity - even instrumental songs like Nick Wrays' 1958 song "Rumble" were banned from radio play.

The list of songs banned by the BBC is a fantastic read

To boot, if there’s no revenue, there’s no need to pay creative people. Indeed, if it boosts expenses under Hollywood accounting practices, those expenses might offset other income that would otherwise be owed to artists and their estates.

Eggs definitely have a permeable shell and water does evaporate out of them over time. 20% loss is absurd though; it would be more like 1%
This. I buy my eggs at the farmers market from a local, actually small, farm. I pay $8/doz. In normal times this is very expensive. But you know what? Tomorrow when I go to the farmers market they'll still cost me $8/doz.

Colbert has a good bit and quip about it
There is one reason- VPN traffic, vs tor traffic monitoring. Tor traffic stands out and that has been used to nab people famously, like that bomb hoax incident. Which suggests cloaking tor with a solid VPN is the way to go. Yes, bridges may be an option as well, but I don't know that their ease of use is where it should be for everyone wanting to be hidden
And if that works for him then he should do that, and I have no problem with that at all. I just don't think there is anything one can say about writing tools that _generalizes_ to writing quality, and the same applies to the type of conversations programmers often engage in like "functions need to be short!" or "line length MUST be less than 90 or else I will reject this PR!" or "dark mode is objectively better to write code in" etc.

I have no problem whatsoever with people having preferences, I just think people mistake preferences for proof.
Bluntly: None.
hmm did you try clickin where it says 'gemini advanced'? I find it opens a drop down
Yep.
In the U.S. the eggs are all machine washed which removes a natural protective outer coating (as well as dirt).

This means that they don't store as well or as long, and really should be refrigerated. It _might_ reduce salmonella.
How does cage free make this worse? The supply shortages are coming from avian flu in every report I have heard.

> Yes, because the governments in 2020 have shown that rioting, setting building on fire, attacking police departments and declaring shit like CHAZ was totally ok and won't be persecuted.

Are you sure that this is not a distorted perception, fueled by media that profit off of outrage? There have been >14000 arrests following the George Floyd protests; I don't think it was ever established that setting public property on fire was fine (legally), not during the last administration and most certainly not now...

> But since Trump JD is not trying to put people from that summer in jail - I am totally fine with both group of thugs being free

Even if people had not been arrested during the protests (they were), this is still super iffy. This is a bit like saying "since Trump never did anything against Pelosis insider trading, its fine if he engages in it himself"-- in my eyes, thats not "morally cancelling out", thats him failing twice...
Go's "enums" are worse than a lot of other languages, but they're not worse than C.
Well, if you think so, then dont get me wrong about this - do something about it! Read up, diagnose, deconstruct, break this theory.

Unless you know someone else is going to be doing this, or you know this doesnt interest you - then see how far this makes sense to you.

I did my soul searching the day Trump won. I had a 0% chance for that occurence, and my prediction was wrong.

I relooked at everything I believed, because I had made a high confidence prediction on how the world worked, and I had made the wrong call. If this was a massive stock play, I would have been broke.

My revised position made me stop asking why Harris lost, but instead focused on how Trump ran in 2016 in the first place.

I felt it forced me to take my thinking seriously, and my assumptions seriously. Perhaps it matters and will help you too.
Cool work too btw

Visual Design Challenges is one I hear most frontend developer complain about. I explained a queen duck (https://bwiggs.com/notebook/queens-duck/) to one of them and he started doing that several times in his project. If you look at this git repo, there would be commits called "queen duck" right before he would demo so he could get feedback about the "mistake" he made, revert the commit and move on with his life.

Exactly. Unchecked AI is going to ruin our democracies, like they did with Trump election
> The argument is that the previous system wasn't a meritocracy either, and by accounting for the existing biases we gather up the talent that was previously ignored.

Whether or not that is true (you haven't given evidence for it), this doesn't justify additional anti-meritocratic practices like diversity hiring. Two wrongs don't make a right.

> You don't stop reading the resume upon hitting <minority group> and hit the hire button. They still need the other required skills too.

An analogous argument wouldn't justify e.g. nepotism ("we don't care only about nepotism, we also care partly about merit!") and it doesn't justify diversity hiring either. The argument is that, when deciding who should be hired for doing difficult cancer surgeries, only merit should be considered, and diversity (or nepotism etc) shouldn't play any role at all.
> But running a CDN at that scale is gonna require experience and truck load of money

Take Netflix for example. Their CDN at scale is pretty good for VOD type of delivery, but they continue to get it wrong for live event streaming. Even Twit..er, X falls down with their large event live streaming.

Adding the "live" component makes everything just that much harder
That $800 first egg...

10 years back, we were getting eggs at something like 25c/egg in feed costs. But we had a bunch of birds that only laid every 2 or 3 days, so they were no where near as efficient as a first year dedicated layer. OTOH, they all had names, we had most of the egg colors, and the bantam eggs were so cute. And the one hen that basically only laid double yolkers.
The page isn't working for me, apparently I'm getting a timeout on the 4 parallel requests to "https://geofyi.onrender.com/cities"
fresh eggs are even better and do not require refrigeration at all
seems such laws would benefit the prices in neighboring areas, as 'non-cage-free' producers seek available markets. but i have not seen this to be the case, strangely.
>If you're going so far, you can use Kagi from Tor as well.

I have to remind you we're talking about preventing Kagi or Google from tracking you. This suggestion makes no sense when you're forced to sign-in to Kagi to use it meaningfully as your default search engine anyway no matter where you're connecting from.

Your first two paragraphs describe a use case that is way more convenient than your last paragraph, and most crypto wallets have most likely come into contact with exchanges that have the user's kyc data to begin with.
I would have expected at least a breakdown or analysis of how it's AI from this article
I've noticed a fun split among people I know—those who grew up on a farm will move heaven and earth never to deal with chickens again, while people who grew up in cities or suburbs are really into the idea.
LLMs are not Junior Developers
Software, being arbitrary logic, just doesn't have the same physical properties and constraints that have allowed civil engineering and construction code to converge on standards. It's often not clear what the load bearing properties of software systems are since the applications and consequences of errors are so varied. How often does a doghouse you built in your backyard turn into a skyscraper serving the needs of millions over a few short years?

That is _your_ definition, and it is very debatable.
The annoying thing about macOS for legacy users is that they're regularly shut out of new Swift-based apps as developers either use newer Swift features, or just don't have enough resources or patience to keep around older Xcode versions.

I've read it. I've seen all the weightings. My point is that after reading the IG report, I think it's most likely that when he made the following statement he was exaggerating and claiming that he knew the right answers when he didn't:

After being told to "fight like hell" that day or else they "wouldn't have a country anymore"? And that since trials in a court of law hadn't worked, "let's have trial by combat"? And when informed that the crowd couldn't get close to the stage because of their weapons and the metal detectors, Trump snapped at his staff that they're "not here to hurt me"?

Somehow, though all the plausible deniability winking and nodding, his fan base got the message; You can see it plainly throughout their communications and postings before and throughout the attack.
Again, not the same due to the very low amount of goods that have to be smuggled. I'm aware of the rules of thumb for frontline warfare, those are intended for sizeable or sustained troop movements.

For something like fentanyl where a single success is enough for a single trafficker over a long time, the fact that sections are 100% independent is exactly why scaling is exponential - only one section has to fail for the goal to be achieved.

Voters getting rid of the incumbent because of a perceived wrong does not discredit any of what I said. This happened internationally as well: incumbents lost. The rate of inflation and economy were doing quite well, with wages being higher than ever before[0].

No one is saying these people can't complain about high prices, but that we can't lie to ourselves about the solution. It was obvious to many that Trump would not fix this on day one and possibly make it worse. Now we're seeing the start of a potential trade war.

How the documents look is everything. That’s what separates desktop publishing like Word from Notepad. The documents have to look the same and have to print the same. Legal cases depend on it. Academic submissions depend on it (Nature Communications template is not latex, it is word). This is not something that can be omitted.
"Gleichschaltung" is literally just how the administrative coup was implemented in Nazi Germany. Just because you'd rather talk about the logistics of how to coup once you are already in power doesn't make it not a coup.
An avian influenza outbreak has killed roughly 20 million chickens so far and is not yet over.
> It would be very uncharitable to extrapolate that to "the people joking about eggs don't care about working-class people".

I put it to you that the conservative opposition and bigots are very uncharitable at the outset, in interpretation of messaging from the other side. In this case they didn't have to do any work, it was literally said for them.

Don't forget that working people and moderates are the ones you need to convince. If people didn't change their votes, election outcomes would always be the same. Educated people tend to be more committed to a worldview (and overconfident), whether left or right. They are listening when you mock egg prices.
That's a fair opinion, but I think the fact that this consumer concern is happening precisely at the time of Musk's activities having such an overtly political significance speaks for itself.
This line of thinking doesn't really correspond to the reason Transformers were developed in the first place, which was to better utilize how GPUs do computation. RNNs were too slow to train at scale because you had to sequentially compute the time steps, Transformers (with masking) can run the input through in a single pass.

It is worth noting that the first "LLM" you referring to was only 300M parameters, but even then the amount of training required (at the time) was such that training a model like that outside of a big tech company was infeasible. Obviously now we have models that are in the hundreds of billions / trillions of parameters. The ability to train these models is directly a result of better / more hardware being applied to the problem as well as the Transformer architecture specifically designed to better conform with parallel computation at scale.

The first GPT model came out ~ 8 years ago. I recall when GPT-2 came out they initially didn't want to release the weights out of concern for what the model could be used for, looking back now that's kind of amusing. However, fundamentally, all these models are the same setup as what was used then, decoder based Transformers. They are just substantially larger, trained on substantially more data, trained with substantially more hardware.
The 3-ladder system of social class in the U.S.
My neighbor kept chickens in their backyard which caused issues in my yard with parasites and other pests. So it isn't even a PITA that you can contain to yourself.
Yes. Eggs in the US are washed thoroughly. Removes potential pathogens but also removes the protective coating on the egg. Eggs in Europe are not washed.

Abandonmedia. They've been posting abandoned software for decades now — without a peep as far as I know.
The usage of the term "vegetarian" in the US is not consistent enough to come up with a precise definition, probably due to the mixture of so many cultures bringing their variation and translations. So it's always good to clarify on particular food items in my experience. Some will consider eggs part of a vegetarian diet, others will be practically offended at the ridiculousness of the idea.

Depends on your measure of inconvenience. My laptop's been running Linux for the past 3.5 years, but it's a Framework which is relatively well supported by Linux. I've heard horror stores about in particular laptops with both Intel integrated graphics and a discrete Nvidia graphics card.

On the other hand, my company gave me a Dell with Windows 11, and every once in a while the "Intel® Smart Sound Technology for MIPI SoundWire® Audio" speakers and microphone occasionally just disappears from the system and so I have to restart which takes about 10 minutes each time.

Overall though when Linux breaks I can fix it, or I can change out parts I don't like. That's better for me than, eg, Windows's Start Menu search searching on the internet and being unable to change that
Not sure I’m understanding you, but it sounds like you’re asking why not upload a video that’s scrambled until viewed with a browser plugin that knows how to unscramble it?

That would be cool, but it won’t be very effective as a viral video if everyone needs to have a browser plugin installed :)

The challenge here is to circumvent the copyright algorithms while still looking like a normal video to the user (who has no external tools installed).

However, for things like hosting pirated streams or sharing content out-of-band, it would be interesting. It’s basically the a minimally lossless form of steganography.
Feels like we’ve swung exceedingly far. Our drive to capture efficiencies through economies of scale make us very vulnerable to systematic disruption
Yes. In the US eggs are washed with soap and hot water after being laid. Most of the rest of the world doesn't do that. We simply arrange things so eggs don't lie in poop, then deliver them to the customer unwashed.

Both methods work, but the washing process removes a protective layer from the eggs, causing them to require refrigeration and generally last not as long

Show HN: Autopen, token-tree text editor that runs LLMs and shows probabilities
This is a program I have been working on that lets you interact with an LLM (in llama.cpp's GGUF format) locally using a text editor buffer. It tokenises the buffer on the fly, visualises the model's conditional probabilities for every token, and lets you view and jump back and forth between generated or manually entered continuations in descending order of probability at every point.

Compared to some other tools that were posted here recently, it operates at a rather lower level - the branching points of the tree are single tokens=words/word fragments rather than "prompts" and "responses", and you can see the probability/surprisal levels for every single token of a text that you can edit, which opens up some interesting applications.

I have made a video showcasing its use to investigate and debug a small DeepSeek-R1 distill's reasoning process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXWZPpVI0zU . Towards the end of the video, I also briefly address a more out-there application (natural-language reasoning "spreadsheets").

I'm making the source available under GPLv3, and there are Windows binary builds available (depending on your CUDA situation, installing them might not be a one-click affair as you may need to grab the appropriate version of llama.cpp DLLs for your system).
Massive bird flu outbreak that has killed many egg laying chickens and required euthanizing many more to try to contain the spread.

In just the last 3 months over 30 million chickens were killed, which is about 10% of the total US egg laying chicken population. Overall the US has lost so far something like 40% of its egg laying chickens.
Correct.

One of my other conclusions is that, with gen AI, the old assumptions of truth are gone.

Instead we're at the dawn of something like the fiat money revolution, in analogy terms. Like the value of a idea isnt about how its based on fact, but on the relation between the person sharing it, and the person paying attention to it.

Im hoping someone makes a blog post about this.
