That really just depends on the scale they are personally used to though, for a fair few years I lived ~5 hours from my family (relatively far within the country), but it didn't feel like very much because I/we visited my partner's family on the other side of the continent at least once a year. Prior to that, I don't think that I would have visited anywhere near as frequently.

The lack of Schengen and now EU membership may make British people more prone to being on the smaller side of this.

Well, that and due to them being investigated for how they handle children's data and access, it had appeared that a fine was heading their way.

The Stanford Review is evidence enough that at least Thiel was already an utter piece of shit before this.

"[Don't] [let] perfect be the enemy of good" is such an overused and rarely useful phrase, most often little more than a blunt object used to insist that people accept tepid compromises rather than daring to demand genuine solutions.

Not that EVs are bad of course, but EVs for 'everyone' as opposed to mass transit isn't a solution (although of course it is a slightly less bleak shade of shit than ICE vehicles for 'everyone'), and doing that whilst enabling people who are already benefitting disproportionately from the status quo to benefit ever more dramatically is even less of one.

It's really easy to compromise oneself into complete irrelevance too, and rather easier to compromise oneself into complicity.

Edit: Not to suggest that the worst of this applies to you at all, it was just the nth time of seeing that phrase used frivolously.

My understanding was that any hitherto success of LLMs in mathematics was in its trying approaches and information from different fields where they weren't traditionally applied (within mathematics), they have surfaced potential links but haven't created anything in any real sense. Still, a potential legitimate use for them that I personally hadn't anticipated.
