  • I was basically doing it until AI came along, the only difference is that I’d rather pick what I work on. That is, I’m a software engineer. Now, they want AI agent baybsitters making it hard to find work that doesn’t use AI.

    I guess if I had to pick a second, it would be some kind of professional student or something that works in teams as someone who has a wide variety of knowledge across topics and domains and can use it together while still doing some kind of software engineering along with it.

    I’m also a small-scale farmer where I just sell extra, but I don’t know that I would like that as my fulltime job; I certainly wouldn’t like the salary.












  • Norwegian is going OK. I am using roughly 5 different resources since some are better at certain things than other and more exercises are good.

    I can understand about 1/2 to 2/3 of the Kongen Befaler clips I see on youtube depending on who’s speaking and context. Zero speaking practice because I live in rural Japan, which ultimately kinda sucks. I have a friend in Norway, but I’m not going to bug her for that. There are occasional online events, so I’m hoping to attend one next month, but it will be at 2am Japan time on a Friday morning so a work day :/

    I live in Japan and get calls in Chinese that are pretending to be the Japanese government immigration division a lot. Well, I used to; I presume that’s what my phone has been spam-trapping lately since no one actually calls.

    I thought I met a mentally disturbed lady or very shitty spy recruiter once near the embassies in a swanky Tokyo neighborhood. I talked about it to some folks and it turns out I look a lot like one of the guys working at the German embassy at the time. So woman really interested in her visa or shitty spy recruiter.
