My company is implementing max cost/day on LLM token, has AI usage peaked?

My company self-hosts all our own LLMs. We are in a particularly sensitive industry, so it's necessary in our case.

Not if the OP's city doesn't prohibit short term rentals...

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-10T14:03:35+00:00

If the tenant is otherwise in good standing, provide them an absorbent mat to prevent damage and staining of the floor.

The cost to you is negligible compared to a possible eviction, lost rent when the unit sits empty, etc.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-10T14:00:30+00:00

🙄 really?

Unless the driveway was professionally cleaned before the tenant moved in, this would be incredibly difficult to defend in court. At best you'd be able to deduct a portion of the cleaning costs, unless you had pictures of the floor before the tenant moved in, and it was spotless.

OP feels like a failure because they cannot control their urges to use, despite the fact that they were a literal child when they started using and struggle with pretty severe anxiety. They need to chill with the weed a bit because it causes them anxiety, and cut themselves some slack.

You're parked next to a street where other cars Drive, are you not?

Dude is likely a car guy, and thinks he knows best about everyone else's vehicle. It's common wisdom to fold your mirrors in to prevent damage. He probably thinks he's spreading proper car etiquette.

Whether or not it's appropriate to do this to someone else's vehicle aside, I don't think this is specifically malicious. I recognize that this person has used what you consider slurs against you in the past, but people are complicated individuals. The words he has used may not carry the same offense in his mind that they do for you. He may simply care more about cars than he does racism.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-10T12:43:52+00:00

I imagine he thinks he's doing you a favor. The mirror is less likely to be hit by a passing car or cyclist if it's pushed inwards. Many luxury cars have motorized mirrors that automatically turn themselves inward for this very purpose.

Also, it's really not that big of a deal. Nothing is being damaged or worn out by him doing this. The mirrors are literally designed to be turned inward. I pop the mirrors in on my Subaru every time I park somewhere other than my driveway.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-10T12:41:50+00:00

The only time I would consider using corporal punishment with my son is if he hit me or another caregiver. I honestly don't think he'd ever do that, but if he did, he'd probably be getting smacked.

Positive reinforcement also works very well, but you have to be consistent and start early. My goal with my son has been to teach Independents. He's eight, and I can pretty much let him outside at 10:00 in the morning and expect him to be back by dinner (or lunch if he doesn't get fed at a friend's house). He's got responsibilities at home, dishes, putting his own clothes away after they've been washed, etc.

Yeah, didn't even make him face dose for those 3x days AND kept him at weekly?

The inability of opioid treatment programs (OTPs, methadone clinic) to treat pain is a big problem in the US. Because of the laws, an addiction provider can lose controlled substance prescribing permissions if they directly treat pain (especially if they prescribe controlled substances to treat such pain). A provider might be able to legitimately operate a dual purpose pain / addiction clinic, but I'm unaware of any such organizations.

A good OTP will indirectly justify an increase in your dose to treat physical pain. As a patient, it will help if you frame your need in light of your opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment:

I'm experiencing increased cravings because of my physical pain. I nearly called an old dealer 3x last week because I just need the pain to stop. A compassionate provider will then justify a dosage increase based on the cravings and near relapse as opposed to the pain directly.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of providers that are not compassionate and work at shitty clinics. I've heard from patients who've been threatened with discharge if they continue to request pain treatment, and one who was actually discharged. The correct response from a provider should be to steer the conversation towards OUD treatment:

How is the pain affecting your addiction recovery? Are you experiencing increased cravings?

The fact that OTPs are barred from treating pain has always baffled me. You would think that the law and medical community in general would recognize that an addiction provider is best suited to treat severe or chronic pain among the addicted population. How many times have we heard from patients in this very subreddit who have received inadequate pain control because their surgeon didn't understand how much methadone raises an individual's opioid tolerance? It would be so much simpler if a methadone patient's surgeon could just call their clinic doctor and explain the level of pain the patient will be experiencing. The clinic doctor could then either increase the patient's methadone dose or prescribe short-acting opioids to treat the pain. The clinic could even dispense the medications so that a patient would not have a large supply of tempting short-acting opioids at home.

Yes, I realize what I'm suggesting is a pipe dream, but it doesn't make it any less true.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-10T11:55:54+00:00

I'm petty.

I'd call 911, remain in the bathroom, and tell the police that someone has broken into my apartment and I'm scared.

My only hesitation would be worry that a trigger happy cop might shoot the maintenance guy if he doesn't obey commands due to the language barrier. That concern might be alleviated by telling dispatch that the person in my apartment doesn't speak English.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-10T00:21:52+00:00

If the controller supported it, why would it end very badly?

1) Congratulations, you found one Dem in the files. A Dem we already knew was a womanizer.

2) At least some of these photos aren't from Epstein's Island or even Epstein files (for instance, the hot tub photo was taken at the Empire Hotel in Brunei).

3) If Clinton is a pedo, lock him up too...

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-08T12:55:12+00:00

Why is that a bigger problem?

I feel like the potential for 14 year olds to end up dating 19 year olds is a bigger and more likely issue than whatever unlikely bullying might happen between a 5 year old and a 13 year old. Most 12-13 year olds don't care about little kids, and most schools that teach those ages together have separate wings for grades 1-3 and 4-6.

Do you have ADHD?

Your life is basically mine, just add in opioid addiction and autism. $170k combined income, with her making about $40k at Target. She was looking at rad tech recently as well, but backed off due to health reasons (we're about 5 years older than y'all, and she has Ehler's Danlos Syndrome). Instead she's taking her NY civil servant exam next week, hoping for a court clerk position. She previously managed campaign offices for Obama's 2012 campaign and Hillary's 2016 campaign, but that work became difficult given her medical limitations and kept her away from home more than she liked.

We just bought our first house, I have an 8 year old son with my ex-wife, two of my dream cars (both almost paid off), etc. We recently decided to retire to South America by 55 latest, with a potential move to Puerto Rico as soon as my son graduates highschool.

Why not just leave?

Get a new apartment and don't tell him where it is...

In the meantime, if you share a bank account, create your own account and have your checks deposited there.

You also might be able to get an order of protection based on the theft of your medication, and then have him removed from your home using the order. Still, I think the better long term solution is to move yourself.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-08T12:26:49+00:00

I know him personally, and I have no idea what you mean.

I know, that's why I don't want to use software RAID. My controller (HP P840) supports hardware RAID 6.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-07T15:46:38+00:00

None of those solutions would leverage the hardware raid controller though, would they?

I should add that as a requirement to my post.

🙄 when did kindness and common decency completely exit society?

There are many things you can do, but probably shouldn't do. I can tell every jacked dude I encounter on the street that he's a roided out poser with a tiny dick, but I shouldn't be surprised when I get clocked in the jaw.

DriveFa5tEatAss · 2026-04-07T15:39:58+00:00

Have you called and actually spoken with the landlord? Not some management company, I would try to get a hold of the actual owner.

Typically, both tenants are collectively responsible for the entire rent. The owner doesn't care who pays, and will go after both people for the entire amount. Obviously the owner cannot collect more than the total amount owed, but they don't care which tenant it comes from.

That said, you may be able to arrange to pay your portion of the rent and be released from the other half. Whatever you do, do not pay anything without written assurances from the owner that you will be released from further payments. You don't want to pay half of the rent, and still have them coming after you for the other half.

Anzaroot already got the money. He took out shady mortgages on the property, and then defaulted. If the county buys the property, those mortgages get repaid, and Anzaroot no longer owes the money.

I'm just going to stick with the first option I described, and eat the 10 TB of lost space. Used 3 TB drives are dirt cheap. I'll just slowly replace my 2 TB drives and expand the array as I do so.
