So uh yeah as we all know a lot of amphetamines have already been “open source” for a long time.

And we also know the DEA really doesn’t approve of private production… Vyvanse itself only really was created as a produg because of their control of the amphetamine market and their desire for products with lower abuse potential.

If we could get the DEA out of the way anyways, it would make more sense to just make dextroamphetamine as it’s simple, cheap and effective.

The volume could definitely be higher now, since the box sides are so bloody high that you can’t actually put anything in the truck without a ladder.

As a farmer and actual truck user everyone I know has a beat up farm truck from the 80s for actual truck use, modern truck is just a big car for comfortable city trips

They want society to oppose immigration and work visas so that these people will have to work as illegals, for lower pay and worse working conditions.

Despite all the right wing wall talk, the wealthy actually benefit from a somewhat porous border for this reason.

Even as a rancher (native prairie, low input) I agree beef is way too cheap. Well, it was, now it’s starting to be more appropriately priced.

Considering everything from the labour involved in raising it ethically to the nutritional value, the consumer pays very little for beef for what they’re getting. Even if it means people eat less beef, the price should go up. It would also favour small farmers like me who would rather raise less cows sustainably on grass than overgraze chasing high volume sales.

Off road gasoline is rare and varies by district, here in Canada I grew up in BC and we had “purple gas” and “red diesel” but purple gas was only sold at very specific stations, usually near parks where people would put it in ATVs and boats.

Now I live in SK and we only have “dyed diesel” which is your standard red farm stuff. You can get a discount on gasoline delivered to a farm tank, but there’s no colorant added and almost nobody does it anyways, since gasoline goes stale and isn’t used in farm equipment.

Myself I converted my remaining gasoline equipment to propane and run heating propane in it. The only gas burners left are lawnmowers, quads and a farm truck.

To be fair proper integration of an aftermarket VoIP app requires almost every permission a phone has, especially if the app wants to mirror your caller ID, and supports SMS and attaching various media.

All the tradesmen in here to bootfuck this guy with our steel toes

I own some enameled iron but find it’s only good for things like spaghetti sauce that attack exposed iron, and deglaze stuck material on their own.

Otherwise everything sticks to it terribly compared to regular seasoned iron.

Do you have a trick to avoid this? I’ve tried all manner of oils as well as lethecin spray, nothing seems to work for me.

Unfortunately not as the oil is impregnated into very small pores during manufacturing. This is the “sol-gel” part of the process, a way of creating a solid and liquid in very close contact.

The oil is effectively bonded to the surface creating a “permanent oil film” which is why it works so well. You can think of the long tails of the silicone molecules being trapped in the pores.

However once they escape there’s no putting them back. Seasoning cast iron is a totally different process involving polymerizing light oils into a solid coating.

The secret of these coatings, which is deeply buried and requires some research, is their “sol-gel” structure.

Basically they are like a sintered bronze “oilite” bushing, where oil is stored in the pores between the bronze to lubricate the surface.

In this case the oil is silicone oil, and while it performs amazingly and is totally inert and harmless it sets a lifespan for the pan. Once the oil is depleted, the pan is worthless.

I’ve gone back almost entirely to cast iron and stainless steel, though I do have one Greenpan that I save for scrambled eggs and similar.

Even with external volumes, I don’t think there should be any mechanism where a container can escape a bind mount to affect the rest of the host fs? I use bind mounts all the time, far more than docker volumes.

you’re replying to comments that have nothing to do with what you’re saying

Makes irrelevant comments like “You are a victim of propaganda, indoctrination, and tribalism.”

Ok I’ll stop feeding the trolls now, have yourself a nice day

Lemmy is a discussion site my dude, replying to comments is what it’s for. If you don’t want replies, send a PM

I’m not OP lol

To me this story is about idiots visiting a nation at war and ending up a part of it. Big surprise

Or maybe it’s just a bad idea to play tourist in countries that are engaged in active war

It would be nice if we could. I do manufacture carbide tooling that is much higher quality than the import stuff, and we sell it at a fair price. Only because we have an old, paid for, well kept machine to do it, because otherwise we couldn’t compete.

But you can tell that I’m talking about disposable crap if you actually read my comment. Superballs that don’t bounce, plastic holiday decor that crumbles in UV light, erasers shaped like a kitten that just smear the pencil lead around.

Stop buying imported Chinese crap, for starters. If you don’t, then that’s great, but almost everyone does to some extent. Some is unavoidable, but try to minimize it.

Buy quality items that are built to last. Ask yourself if you really need something or if you just want it. Spread the word to others to do the same. Tell all your friends to stop buying shit from Temu, Wish, dollar stores and other crap-merchants.

On the positive side, China is in fact growing their renewable capacity at a higher rate than anywhere else in the world, and also building nuclear plants. However the amount of power required for manufacturing to feed the world’s endless appetite for disposable crap is vast and mostly supplied by burning coal.

To me, it’s as useful as a toy is.

This used to be my opinion, then I started using local models to help me write code. It’s very useful for that, to automate rote work like writing header files, function descriptions etc. or even to spit out algorithms so that I don’t have to look them up.

However there are indeed many applications that AI is completely useless for, or is simply the wrong tool.

While a diagnostic AI onboard in my car would be “useful”, what is more useful is a well-documented industry standard protocol like OBD-II, and even better would be displaying the fault right on the dashboard instead of requiring a scan tool.

Conveniently none of these require a GPU in the car.

In the case of an LLM-type AI though, the bars can be swapped in a sense. LLMs are strange, because they can talk but not feel.

You can’t argue that a series of tensor calculations are sentient (def. able to perceive or feel) - capable of experiencing life from the “inside”. A dog is sentient by most definitions, it could be argued to have a “soul”. When you look at a dog, the dog looks back at you. An LLM does not. It is not conscious, not “alive”.

However an LLM does put on a fair appearance of being sapient (def. intelligent; able to think) - they contain large stores of knowledge and aside from humans are now the only other thing on the planet that can talk. You can have a discussion with one, you can tell it that it was wrong and it can debate or clarify using its internal knowledge. It can “reason” and anyone who has worked with one writing code can attest to this as they’ve seen their capability to work around restrictions.

It doesn’t have to be sentient to be able to do this sort of thing, even though we used to think that was practically a prerequisite. Thus the philosophical confusion around them.

Even if this is simply a clever trick of a glorified autocomplete algorithm, this is something the dog cannot do despite its sentience. Thus an LLM with a decent number of parameters is “smarter” than a dog, and arguably more sapient.

VPN and have them punch in to a cheap or free cloud instance that acts as a hub router.

You give them a config file and they feed it to their device or router, use a private subnet in the 10.0.0.0/8 range because everyone is on 192.168.1.0/24 and then they just hit it at 10.0.0.1 or whatever.

I like Wireguard but you might have to use something with layer 2 support if you want service discovery to work for true zero config.
