汇编为一卷出版的 Flora Thompson 三部曲，生动描绘了 19 世纪 90 年代英格兰乡村的生活——包括 Lark Rise、Over to Candleford 和 Candleford Green。记述了一位英国乡村女孩在当时被视作理所当然的匮乏与贫困环境中成长的童年与少女时期。书中对久远生活方式的刻画辞采斐然、感人至深，并对已不可挽回之事物充满了眷恋与哀伤。

…不同地方的生活水平各不相同。《从农民到法国人》中描绘的法国乡村生活听起来很凄惨；而 1900 年左右的英国乡村生活则足够美好，以至于在汽车兴起之后，催生出了像《雀起烛镇》（Lark Rise to Candleford）这样充满怀旧色彩的书籍。勃鲁盖尔画作中的农民们正享受着许多虽然粗野、原始但其乐融融的趣味。这并不意味着我们不应该对（比如）现代牙科心存感激！当然，我们…
…Different places had different living standards. The French village life depicted in Peasants into Frenchmen sounds grim; English village life around 1900 was nice enough to generate nostalgic books like Lark Rise to Candleford after the rise of the motor car. The peasants in Brueghel paintings are having a lot of rough, unsophisticated fun. That doesn't mean we should not be grateful for (say) modern dentistry! Of course we…
…自然在为 AI 摇旗呐喊，然后 HN 上又有一群人纯粹为了反对而反对，讨厌 MacOS 的每一次更新，讨厌每一个 AI 模型！我能理解这种恐惧，任何读过 Flora Thompson 的《雀起烛镇》（Lark Rise to Candleford）的人都会看到这种相似性——时代在变，AI 就是当年的铁犁、铁路、晶体管……我对这种争论感到厌倦了，以我的经验来看，AI（对我来说是 Gemini）非常棒，我们每个人的知识和技能都有盲区…
…naturally are cheerleading for AI, then there's the HN collective who hate every new release of MacOS and every AI model, just on principle! I understand the fear, anyone who's ever read Flora Thompson's Lark Rise to Candleford will see the parallels, things are changing, AI is the plough, the railway, the transistor... I'm tired on the debate, my experience is that AI (Gemini for me) is awesome, we all have gaps in our knowledge/skills…
…顺便提一下这本书：Thames & Hudson 出版的《该吃狗肉了吗？：可持续生活的真正指南》（Time to Eat the Dog?: The Real guide to Sustainable Living）——想读的话可以去搜搜看。从本质上讲，我们需要回归到《雀起烛镇》（Lark Rise to Candleford）三部曲中所描述的那种生活方式：在‘发达’国家相对近期的本土社区里，人们自己种植食物、互帮互助、自寻乐趣、很少长途旅行，总体上生活在…
…book by the way: 'Time to Eat the Dog?: The Real guide to Sustainable Living' by Thames & Hudson - search it up if you want a read. We essentially need to return to a lifestyle that is described by the 'Lark Rise to Candleford' Trilogy, with comparatively recent local communities in 'developed' countries growing their own food, helping each other, making their own entertainment, travelling little, and generally living within…
