Others have rightly warned about taking on too much responsibility for your housemate, but I think there's more room for nuance as to whether becoming nursemaid is 'inevitable' or other such suggestions that it's immediately time to move out or whatever. Other commenters suggesting ultimatums (ultimatums are the worst way to deal with any personal situation imo) or that you'll end up embroiled in being his carer are a bit reactive, or maybe extreme?

That said, if moving out is what you want to do, that is absolutely what you should do, 100%. You don't have to justify anything about that decision to anyone.

If your housemate has been great for 5 years and you've been friends for 10, and if you are happy with your living situation and could see yourself still living there with him when he's stabilised, setting some boundaries around when you will contact his family or the crisis team like 'I will call the crisis team if I see you getting worse over the weekend again' (for example) can help you draw the line of what you can cope with and what you can take on. It can free you of having to make those tough decisions in a crisis again. It doesn't have to be you becoming his carer. Coping with this doesn't necessarily have to blow up your living situation or friendship, though, and I think that there's possibly options to explore for how you move forward and look after yourself than becoming his carer or moving out. Do what is best for you.

Good luck with it, and look after yourself!
I realized I can add a bit more here in hope it'll be useful to someone at some point, all [citation needed]:

It seems that there are Chinese regulation(?) that require Chinese text to be _always_ displayed in _appropriate_ font, which causes "wrong font" problem to Japanese users, while there are no such equivalent requirements elsewhere that computer software face no hard dilemma to follow two regulations in same code point; one is law and one is just unanimous customer complaints.

The rationale for that Chinese regulation(?), I think, is that Chinese computer users long had an exaggerated version of the same problem due to how Kanji was adopted to Unicode; the Kanji map was created by first enumerating common-use Japanese Kanji from reasonable existing tables, then merging additional Chinese common use characters not found on Japanese texts which are plenty. Duplicates were merged on loose and pragmatic-at-time judgements, some by shapes, some by meanings(!), some left as duplicates.

It seems to me that this had lead to a situation that lasted at least some period of time, that Chinese UTF-8 strings on a computer displayed in a mishmash of Japanese and Chinese fonts, Chinese one filling the gaps of Japanese rather than the other way around, which was frustrating(imagine top 10 most used characters of alphabets in Comic Sans and rest Arial), and solved by that regulation(the regulatory setup is a Chinese national GB or GB/T standard and enforcement of "applicable industrial standards", I believe).

There are such attempted solutions to this problem of same-system Chinese-Japanese text coexistence, such as registering all the Japanese Kanji as first choices on Unicode IVS map along legitimate Japanese variants, such that each Japanese characters with the IVS suffix sequences per each characters would be in Japanese form. Obviously there's no such font that this is going to work well with, and it's also unnecessary bloat and just a committee backstage influencing war.

The moral of the story is, the "it's all Kanji after all" approach never worked, simultaneous Chinese-and-Japanese support in Unicode and Unicode-based apps is a mess, and it has to be fixed higher up at some point in the future.
We are spoilt with a lot of good tools these days, F# being one. As an ancedote a hybrid F#/Python shop is one use case where I have seen F# thrive. My personal view is that F# is actually better than some other langs for when you want to convert that Python code into something that runs "faster" but still looks somewhat like Python to stakeholders (I personally find F# easier to read than Python for example the generator syntax in Python to me reads backwards). This typically happens at least for me when the business team/data team/quants/actuaries/etc use Python but want you to productionise/scale it. Static typing, and lower level optimisations possible + easier access to multi-threading. I've personally converted from Python to F# models from a math background and seen 100x performance - as a bonus I can talk to the F# code and typically they understand/can read it (even if they couldn't write it directly) vs say C#/Java with a non-whitespace syntax. Allows easier verification.
> I suspect we will see startup founders trending older if it isn't already happening

Anecdotally, I think it already is. Part of it is simply because the younger you are, the less risk you can take with the cost of housing the way that it is. Older people/Millenials often have housing security and can take more risks this way, plus the other factors you raised.

Can't speak to whether that's universally true, but it's something I've been seeing: including people in their late 30s to mid 40s leaving cushy well paying corporate jobs to try founder life: they have big nest eggs from said previous jobs, so why not!
You can simply "just do some Googling and find it" for literally everything on CrunchyRoll. That's called piracy though, and there are various reasons why people buy a crunchyroll subscription instead of doing that.

Seems quite a reasonable request to me.
I'm not sure this is a useful test. You can most certainly get an LLM to infinitely "correct" or "improve" its own output. But take the "The work uses graphs..." paragraph and plop it into an AI text detector like Quillbot. It's a long and non-generic snippet of text, and it will score 100% AI. This is not something that happens with human writing. Sometimes, you get false positives on short and generic text, sometimes you get ambiguous results... but in this case, the press release is AI.

Yes, it is sales. You are doing sales. Leads -> chats -> due dilligence -> offers -> negotiation -> conversions.

This is also how the hiring side looks at it. “How many leads do we need to get a conversion to this role?”. It helps when both sides understand this.

Though FAANG offers are usually more attractive than startups (considering pay level and stability), some startups could be more selective since they couldn't afford to hire the wrong candidate.
As someone directly impacted by this (not a broker) just wanted to chime in based on my experience. Typically no fee apartments can get a 10 to even 20% premium on the monthly rent because it’s no fee. Makes sense because as others have said a lot of the inventory is broker-controlled so tenants will pay more in rent to avoid the upfront fee.

My prediction is this will increase rents in high-demand neighborhoods because the prices today in those neighborhoods have been discounted to account for the broker fees. I’m talking the rental rate. Will it go up enough to where it’s more expensive than if there’d been a broker fee? Depends on how long the tenant stays.
Hey I would love to reach out!
As an external observer, it’s all sites working as -ist soapboxes to me. The fact that you call a politically superaffined site “a news site” alone, man. A news site doesn’t promote specific candidates by definition. Seems like some people forget what “news” means.

Saying a leftwing site is just the same as a site that's ended up as Elon's (and numerous rightwing users) soapbox...

Surprised that actual writing is not in the list.

By actual writing I simply mean finding the right words, with the right spelling, a good flow, and well constructed sentenced.

I found LLMs to be awesome at this job, which make sense, they are language models before being knowledge models. Their prose is not very exciting, but the more formal the document, the better they are, and essays are quite formal. You can even give it some context, something like: "Write an essay for the class of X that will have an A+ grade".

The idea is to let the LLM do the phrasing, but you take care of the facts (checking primary sources, etc...) and general direction. It is known that LLMs sometimes get their facts wrong, but their spelling and grammar is usually excellent.

This actually would have nothing to do with the problem (advertised link speed) if Tailscale had more fine grained control over how SR routes are distributed. Currently it's all or nothing and there's no way to ignore specific routes if you're local to that network. Route length trumps network metrics, so it would be better handled in that manner.

In almost every OS I've seen interface metrics will only be used for equal cost route lengths.
Leaky seives, I doubt they would share the info if they are doing it … the Kursk front taught them a lesson.
Admissions to selective colleges are the same way. For most students it's rather foolish and wasteful to target any one specific college because luck plays a huge factor (or the actual selection criteria are unknown and unknowable, which from the applicant's perspective is indistinguishable from luck).

If Tailscale is being used for remote access to the author's LAN, why is it running on a desktop that's always physically connected to the LAN? I have a similar setup for remote access but using Wireguard instead; my main router (pfSense VM running on Proxmox like the author's thing) handles the tunnels and routing for the remote subnet(s), and it all Just Works. Only the devices that actually get used remotely need to be set up as Wireguard peers, and they're configured to disconnect from the tunnel when they're on my home wifi. IIUC Wireguard automatically does the setup/teardown of routes on those peers when it's toggled on/off.
I could understand if this was something major, but avoiding excessively flashing lights doesn't seem all that limiting to me.

Counterpoints are useful to help negate echo chambers where we end up clicking on the articles which validate our world view.

In addition the most upvoted comments (at least on the Financial Times website) are sometimes more informed and nuanced than the articles themselves. The article often gets the debate rolling - come for the articles, stay for the comments (so to speak).
It's also a numbers thing. Startups generally hire a couple people, while FAANGs hire in the tens of thousands. (Used to, at least.)

I can’t solve everyone’s problems but I can say that I have 1-2 (depending if an outstanding offer is accepted) open principal engineering roles directly working for me. The process will be talking to the recruiter, then two tech interviews, then an interview with me. This will take you a couple weeks to go through because of our team is tiny and we’re fairly busy. Team is 100% remote and async. All the stuff in the JD applies, the one update that we haven’t gotten out yet is that you must know terraform really well.

It is trivially easy to spot AI writing if you are familiar with it, but if it requires failing most of the class for turning in LLM generated material, I think we are going to find that abolishing graded homework is the only tenable solution.

The student's job is not to do everything the teacher says, it is to get through schooling somewhat intact and ready for their future. The sad fact is that many things we were forced to do in school were not helpful at all, and only existed because the teachers thought it was, or for no real reason at all.

Pretending that pedagogy has established and verified methodology that will result in a completely developed student, if only the student did the work as prescribed, is quite silly.

Teaching evolves with technology like every other part of society and it may come out worse or it may come out better, but I don't want to go back fountain pens and slide rules and I think in 20 years this generation won't look back on their education thinking they got a worse one than we did because they could cheat easier.
Is it even strange, considering that elections just happened and who’s gonna be the new president?
You are right that the landlord can't just raise the rent to make up for the loss of this one time payment unless the market will accommodate it.

I am not arguing that it will end up in the rent. I was only arguing that, if it did, that would still be a better arrangement.

However, you are wrong that the service provided by the fee offers no value, and that the fee will not end up somewhere (even in a diminished way).

- To landlords it offers upfront vetting, no required face time with prospects, and less work to land a tenant. We have a 1.4% vacancy rate in NYC -- apartments on the market will have hundreds of interested people and multiple applications. Landlords basically manage none of this.

- To prospective renters who actively hire a broker -- and these do exist, I did this once -- it offers zero time on the prospect's part to look for, schedule, and research units. You tell the broker your parameters, they will do the research, and then set up a multi-hour tour of apartments.

(Unless you are only looking at no-fee apartments, you are better off just hiring a broker so you get at least some value from it if you rent a fee-ful apartment)

The value the fee provides to the people who care about it, will end up somewhere. This work doesn't go away. Many landlords and prospective renters will take on the work themselves, but many won't.

These people will pay for the broker fee. Those broker fees end up with the landlord or the prospective renter.

It is not my conclusion that eliminating the broker fee will result in higher rent. I think what will happen is:

- The broker market will shrink.

- Some landlords or renters will pay for it.

In a nutty housing market like NYC's, there is actual value provided by brokers, to some people.

Finally -- to be clear, I'm not arguing against the FARE Act. I am fully supportive of it and wish this happened years ago.
They in all likelihood, have already started… to some extent…

Given the geopolitical context it’s extremely unlikely that they were willing to make a statement, even as vaguely shaped as the whole, “nato or nukes and we choose nato” thing was… in essence, why mention nukes are a possibility if you don’t think you can realistically build them?

And this makes a lot of sense, because Ukraine was at the heart of a lot of the most sophisticated work done in the Soviet Union, and as befits their legacy as the birthplace of both nuclear weapons and nuclear power in the Soviet Union, they were (prior to the invasion and war) the 7th largest user of Nuclear power in the world by total output at 13 gigawatts, and they are only beaten by France in terms of how much of their national energy production is powered by nuclear at 55%… they have retained a significant nuclear industry and they were even considering starting up domestic nuclear fuel fabrication prior to the war, which is indicative of them being able to do a lot more than just “run a nuclear power plant”, coupled with their domestic uranium reserves and the wartime entrepreneurial spirit they have brought to the entire field of drone warfare… I don’t doubt that someone somewhere in the government had a thought one day cursing about the failure of their allies to follow their obligations under the Budapest Memorandum, and decided to get some pretty smart people to work out just how hard it would be to get back their nuclear capability. With such a significant nuclear industry, getting plutonium and just skipping all the difficult uranium enrichment stuff would be comparatively easy for them.

And from prior published research on the matter of nuclear proliferation, it’s not as hard as a lot of people would likely presume… in 1964, the USA commissioned the “Nth Country Experiment” which can be sort of summed up as “we took 3 brand new phd physicists with no idea how to make a nuclear weapon, and timed how long it took them to work out how to build one without letting them peek at any of the classified info on how the existing nukes were built, they have to do the work from scratch with just public info and their brain smarts” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_Country_Experiment … from scratch with, significantly less information than we all have available to us online today, if took the three of them 3 years to do. Ukraine has all the modern public information you or I have access to, likely a not insignificant amount of leftover classified information from the Soviet era, even if it’s just oral history and the spotty memories of long retired experts who were involved in building Soviet era nukes… and as recently demonstrated in the new domestic tactical missile and long range drone development efforts they have the capability to stand up domestic production of complex weapon systems… I think they know exactly how long it would take, they have a timeline, they have a rough idea what it would look like and they probably have a list of potential delivery platforms from their current arsenal… they just probably haven’t started actually, “making anything”

No one is stopping you from tracking it down and watching it; the request is merely that it not be the version aired on TV, nor the default on streaming media like Crunchyroll. That seems like a pretty reasonable middle ground to me - if you can only host one version, host the safe version. If you want to host multiple versions, feel free to add the unsafe cut as an alternative.

These days you can TMTOWTDI in Python as well though.

The TMTOWTDI argument was valid in very early stages of Perl vs Python debate, like some what between 2000 - 2006 etc.

These days Python is just Perl with mandatory tab indentation. Python is no longer that small language, with small set of syntactical features. C++/Java etc in the meanwhile have gotten even more TMTOWTDI heavy over the years.

The point of citing sources is so that the reader can retrace the evidential basis on which the writer's claims rest. A citation to "Chat GPT" doesn't help with this at all. Saying "Chat GPT helped me write this" is more like an acknowledgment than a citation.
Yep. Several months ago I leaned on a friend for a referral. This person is relatively well known in his industry. He’s written books and has spoke at a lot of conferences, and been interviewed by a lot of outlets. I got a personal referral from him, and I didn’t even get a phone call with a recruiter. Crazy.
Just to add, we are also trying to support idempotency wherever possible to enable safe hedging and retries. This is mentioned a bunch in the article on Accurate counters. So take that into consideration.
Weirded how, if you don't mind elaborating slightly?

For example, does it mean: the actual skill level (e.g., smartness) people actually look for and hire hasn't changed, but the activities that hiring teams require candidates to have experience with are (seemingly weirdly) not a great thing to need anyway and therefore lots of great candidates end up twiddling their thumbs?

In that way, the "height" of the bar is the same, but it's a "weird" bar, in that one could have to accept it for what it is, or even stoop to it, or perhaps shift over to it, in order to pass it?

Or more that the overall interview experiences are weird caricatures in and of themselves?

Weird is a great word, but it can be a little non-specific, so I'm left curious about the intended usage/meaning.

Of course for this to make sense you have to have a notion of 0, which is traditionally taken to be the point at infinity (so negation is negating the y-coordinate). It’s been a while since my algebraic geometry classes but IIRC this is just a useful convention.
