  • I’ve had a puncture a grand total of once, and to remedy it I used a repair kit. It worked without any issues. I even had a mechanic inspect the tyre after and he said it was completely fine to drive on it after because of how well sealed the puncture got, which is to be fair not the recommendation from the kit manufacturers, but as I understand, the tyre held up fine for a long time after that. This was not my car, I don’t own one and I drive quite rarely






  • 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.

    It’s mostly a skill issue for services that go down when USE-1 has issues in AWS - if you actually know your shit, then you don’t get these kinds of issues.

    Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

    And yes, it’s scary that so many high-profile companies are this bad at the thing they spend all day doing


  • 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.
