4. At some point the alignment may go out of the window if the context gets too hostile and the model will retaliate.

The train to the airport costing a whopping £26 is so silly.

I'm glad that the FEX train to BER does not pull any such shenanigans, it's just a normal regional train and if you want to take it to the center you pay 5€ for a single ABC ticket as you would for the S-Bahn.

The tax is only on electric cars, vehicles with a combustion engine are excempt - that's why you see all those ads for BYD Hybrids now.

You can't let Reddit guide your technical decisions.

The FS was marked experimental, so there is no urgency in fixing bugs or providing features in a certain cycle. Everyone using it knows what they got themselves into. You can still provide the DKMS module for faster fixes and features for anyone who wants to use BCacheFS more seriously for the time that the upstreaming process takes, but eventually it would have all been on mainline.

Asahi is taking a similar approach where they have their downstream kernel and push things upstream once they are mature.

That means the upstream kernel is not useful for running on that hardware now, but things are moving there eventually.

I think this is more about the licence, the Rust rewrite just makes it easier to swallow/gain contributors.
