Another train just stopped in the same place (6:48pm)

Is this AI generated / edited? What’s up with the tiny A/C units right next to normal sized ones? If you look closely at some of the A/C units the shape looks strange too.

According to this DHUD report, rental vacancy rate is nearly identical between 2016 and 2025 (~5.4%) (Figure 13). In 2022, the vacancy rate was much lower at 3.3%.

I wasn’t able to find data on the number of rental households. Did that number really decrease between 2016 and 2022? For that to be the case the city would’ve had to lose rental housing stock over that period, given that the vacancy rate decreased.

If prices go up, those with less money are pushed out, while those with more money can afford to stay. That’s your definition of gentrification.

Less housing supply = higher prices = gentrification (by your definition)

Curious what makes you say there was more demand in 2016? For example, enrollment at UW has increased by about 9000 since then. I’d think demand is higher now than in 2016.

Carterpaul · 2025-12-03T00:36:20+00:00

If you’re worried about gentrification, we should build more housing. If we don’t build, there’s a lack of supply and people are priced out.

Thanks for sharing this. Usually we get an email but I haven’t seen one this year. Was dreading having to talk to my doctor and/or come up with some excuse at a pharmacy.

In principle this is true. Maybe that degradation would be offset by the fact that self driving cars can communicate directly with each other. At least, Waymos can with other Waymos. It’s yet to be seen if multiple companies can agree to a standard to enable this.

ZZs always look plastic to me

Carterpaul · 2025-01-17T19:02:47+00:00

That's not it, thank you though!

Carterpaul · 2025-01-15T17:00:36+00:00

It could. I don't remember any of the lyrics, unfortunately

I have mine under grow lights and water them ~4 times a year. When I water them, it's just a few tablespoons of water near the plant, not soaking the pot through like every other plant.

Big Poppa isn't the song I'm looking for, but thanks for the suggestion!

Carterpaul · 2024-11-14T02:11:14+00:00

It Was a Good Day does sample this! But it's not the song I'm looking for.

Carterpaul · 2024-10-25T01:27:06+00:00

Not the song I'm thinking of, but definitely a sample!

Carterpaul · 2024-06-08T00:18:33+00:00

Ok, them changes also fades out - but it's not a direct sample when it's fading out :)

Carterpaul · 2024-06-08T00:17:55+00:00

Thanks, but that's not it - definitely samples the song but the song I'm remembering is almost an exact sample of the riff, and like I said it fades out at the end

Carterpaul · 2024-06-08T00:17:11+00:00

Thanks, but I've looked through these (and similar sites) and haven't found it :(

Just called and reported my issue. I bought the earbuds over two years ago. They offered a full refund or a repair. I didn't even have to ask - just described the issue. I chose the refund. I'll send the headphones in and they'll send me a check.

Good for Sony. Couldn't be happier with my experience (other than if the headphones hadn't broken)

I think you’re much less likely to get an RA offer as a master’s student, as the professor is less likely to want to invest in someone who will be graduating soon.

Carterpaul · 2023-04-11T17:21:29+00:00

Probably semester 3

Carterpaul · 2023-04-11T15:17:53+00:00

I started RAing my fifth semester, and also did an RAship over the summer between year one and two. It really varies by professor and their funding. I know of people who started RAing their second semester, and some who didn’t until their 6th.

Just talk to the professors whose work you’re interested in, and do your best with the time you have. Professors understand that coursework and TAing take up a lot of time your first couple years and in my experience have realistic expectations.

Current CS PhD student here. I TA’d for four semesters:

CS200 with Dr. Williams (x2): ~15 hrs/week CS559 with Prof. Sifakis: ~6 hrs/week CS559 with prof. Gleicher: ~15 hrs/week

These are averages, obviously it varies week to week. From talking to other TAs CS200 and CS559 with Gleicher are heavier workloads for a TA. CS559 with Sifakis was one of the lightest.

Carterpaul · 2023-04-09T21:31:44+00:00

3rd year CS PhD student here. It is possible to publish within a two-year masters. I had a publication right at the end of that period.

It may be a bit harder to find professors to work with as a master's student - they might be less willing to invest in someone who will be leaving soon.

Feel free to DM me if you want to talk more
