Idag höll jag min tredje novellfika i Uppsala, och det var en särskild fika eftersom några vänner från Stockholm var med.

Tidigare i kväll gick jag till Uppsala slott och träffade några kompisar för att se Luciatåget på slottets tak.

This week’s practical philosophy seminar discussed personhood-based arguments for the resuscitation of extremely premature infants (EPIs).

Igår gick vi på vårt team-julbord!

These are my notes from one of the AI Act Conference presentations from December 10, 2024.

Today I listened in to part of the AI Act Conference hosted by Uppsala University.

Så det hände äntligen: jag fastnade på tåget från Uppsala till Stockholm C.

It’s been another eventful week at the new place!

Last week I dropped in on what turned out to be a seminar in practical philosophy, featuring a paper about resultant moral luck.

Tonight I went to a live podcast recording of the Forest of Thought podcast at Uppsalas Stadsbiblioteket.

This evening I went to another presentation at Chimära Bokhandel & Butik.

This was my first “proper” weekend in the new place.

Today I went to a paper discussion about resultant moral luck.

These are my rough notes from the Forsskål symposium 2024, “Amerikanska friheter och ofriheter i historia och samtid” - American freedoms and unfreedoms in history and now.

Today I attended my virtual morning writing group, did a bit of unpacking, met a friend for lunch, worked from a really old library with a great view for a few hours, and then went to a talk about the end of the universe.

Jag flyttade till en ny stad och fick en perfekt välkomstpresent i min brevlåda: Om krisen eller kriget kommer är en broschyr från Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB).

Jag har lärt mig svenska mer intensivt på sistone, och nu tänker jag att tiden har kommit för mig att skriva mer på språket.

Jag har börjat titta på The Pirate Bay på SVT Play den här veckan, och den är asbra!

My new Nothing Ear earphones had been working great, but after a few weeks I noticed that sometimes they sounded like they were underwater.

I got an Akko MOD007B v3 a while ago and this weekend swapped out the PCB for the flex-cut version.

I’ve been exploring ElevenLabs TTS for synthesized audiobook narration.

I visited Greece last year, spending a week in Athens and then another in Thessaloniki to attend a wedding.

I was always excited about the possibilities recent developments in LLM-powered workflows provide.

I’ve been using portable writing setups for a while.

I spent a year in Gothenburg after many years in Stockholm.

I saw a blurred video of a prisoner of war being beheaded last week.

Sometimes I feel like rambling out into the void at no one in particular.

Just some updates on my fiction writing “adventures”.

This is just a short post about how I chose to implement multiple choice selection in Go with the promptui CLI library.

It was 3am and I was awake, thinking about the pile of leaves in the backyard again.

When Putin announced a “partial” (right…) mobilization and news of protests in Russia spread, I tried really hard to sympathize with Russian people and not to be cynical.

I’ve been writing a bit of TypeScript lately, and have needed to learn some strategies to test private functions that are not class methods.

Whenever I post my progress with getting to pain-free squats in the gym again, I get similar questions: “Have you tried this?”

COVID necessitated WFH when I was still at EA.

The Tor I was originally intending to grab breakfast before going up to the Tor the morning after my late and rainy arrival in Glastonbury.

The first time I’d heard of the Tor in Glastonbury, it was as a result of reading a fantasy book as a teenager.

When I walked outside a few hours after my 2009 LASIK surgery and managed to peer out of the tiny holes in the goggles taped to my face, I got the sense of suddenly seeing the world in high definition.

With my third booster shot out of the way I’ve felt a bit safer finally going out into the world a bit more and actually experimenting with different work locations.

Lately, I am constantly refreshing the news about the war, and waiting for word from family in Ukraine.

I’ve always been mostly an introvert.

I’ve been taking a Twitter hiatus for a while and am finally all recharged and social-media-detoxed, so I’ve started going back on there to mostly read.

Let’s talk about self-publishing.

I’ve started playing around with TypeScript for the first time over the last couple of weeks and it is excellent.

I know meditation is good for me, but I’ve never been able to stick with the darn stuff.

I have been editing the next science fiction book.
