  • We get encouraged to try out AI tools for various purposes to see where we can find value out of them, if any. There are some use-cases where the tech makes sense when wielded correctly, and in those cases I make use of it. In other cases, I don’t.

    So far, I suspect we may be striking a decent balance. I have however noticed a concern trend of people copy-pasting unfiltered slop as a response to various scenarios, which is obviously not helpful.


  • I have figured it out: many of them.

    Great! I salute your rigour in the matter. How many of them was it?

    And no, Amnesty did not produce a significant amount of primary evidence. You’re just straight up lying now.

    There are 430 hits for “Amnesty International interview” as sources.

    Who knows, maybe they just interviewed Adrian Zenz for all of those claims. The joke would very much be on me in that case



  • Is Amnesty International a fundamentalist right wing organization, captured by Adrian Zenz?

    They do cite him five times in their report on the subject, but their report does contain a total of 718 sources.

    This is not to say that their report should be treated as uncritically correct, but neither should their claims be dismissed outright because of an anticommunist having been a part of doing research on the subject.

    To illustrate - Candace Owens, a well known right-wing agitator and all-round piece of shit frequently speaks out against Israel. This does not, very obviously not, make Israel good.







  • You prepare for these by doing specific exercises for them, sad as it may seem.

    Leetcoding problems? You grind them out for a month or two to prepare for doing them during interview loops.

    Mock interviews can help too, to get you better at handling the stress. You can use services/groups for these, or just go interview for random places you’re not necessarily planning to actually say yes to.





  • To clarify - Sweden has a lesser variant of the U.S credit score system, but it differs in some important ways. For example, you don’t have to get a credit card to ‘build credit’ - you are assumed to be in good standing unless you have unusual ratios of debt and so on.

    Sweden does not have a social credit score system.

    Blackout curtains are mandatory equipment for any Swedish bedroom, in my opinion. There’s no way to get enough sleep without them. Sleep masks also help if you’re particularly sensitive to light.

    AC is generally speaking not required, as nights are cool and letting in air can provide adequate cooling for all but the hottest days of the year. This is of course a problem for people like me who are allergic to grass pollen, which is active during summer, but I’ve been able to get by mostly with a fan these days.
