Amazon Shuts Down Internal AI Leaderboard After Employees Cheated in c/technology@lemmy.world

How many of you get extremely stressed when hearing gas leaf blowers? in c/adhd@lemmy.world
[–] some_guy 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'm gonna tell you about the most successful prank I've experienced.

My work had nice stereo speakers setup on space near the ceiling (weird layout). There was a back door to a tiny parking lot that we probably paid more to have (windows and stuff not available to all offices in a shared space).

Fucking leaf blowers show up. They're out there, we can see them. They just won't stop! About an hour in, my buddy complains that they're giving him a headache. Someone agrees they should go away. Another of my friends (to this day, that shithead) starts laughing so hard. "I can't believe nobody noticed!"

He had set the stereo (hooked to a computer) to a youtube video of leaf blowers. The guys with the leaf blowers had been gone for a long time. None of us figured it out. He's a good friend and I still hate him for that. I think I'll slap his baby to get back at him, I'm so mad (still!) (not really, I love him).

I still laugh with anger at how he duped us so hard.

Listen, you guys. I was gonna fire half of you no matter what. But it sounds a lot better if I say it's because a computer does your job now. See ya!

Red Hat npm Packages Compromised to Spread a Credential-Stealing Worm in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] some_guy 6 points 20 hours ago

Oh, cool! Red Hat! The people who run a company charging for support. This makes me feel very safe.

Ever since the ssh thing, but especially in the last few months, I really don't feel safe with anything on the internet.

Women in Brussels 'filmed without their knowledge' by men wearing Meta smart glasses in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] some_guy 28 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

There are lights that work on some cameras. I'm not sure which (infrared, I think prolly others). Search the web. They exist. But how are you gonna have that at all times everywhere? Easier to set the Meta HQ on fire. And that's prolly not easy.

Trump Explodes With F-Bomb Rant as His Peace Plan Implodes in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] some_guy 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

At one point, he even claimed that his personal intervention has kept the unpopular leader out of prison.

Something that hadn't occurred to me before, but that would make me happy, is that Trump would attack the shit out of Bebe if he felt the need. Imagine him declaring that prison was necessary. A nice thought. It won't happen, but it made me happy for a moment.

You choose, mother fucker: Bebe or Epstein. Go!

This is the greatest truth of being a computer person. Our shit is also broken, just in ways you'd never heard of.

Trump says ‘f***ing crazy’ Netanyahu has made everyone hate Israel in furious phone call – report in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] some_guy 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In what has been described as one of the worst calls between the two, Trump “steamrolled” Netanyahu, a US official said, and Netanyahu responded with “OK, OK just make sure everything is taken care of”.

It's the Reagan moment where he figured out that he could tell them to stop for whatever they were doing and they stopped. Trump cares a lot about what people think. I would love it if he finds israel too toxic to support and cuts them off.

Melania Named in Bombshell New Epstein Claims in c/politics@lemmy.world

Zampolli, meanwhile, told the Daily Beast: “I think it is a disgrace that she dares to say this about our marvelous first lady.”

That's about the fastest way to make me think your opinion means shit.

Melania Named in Bombshell New Epstein Claims in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] some_guy 3 points 1 day ago

A former associate of Melania Trump has sensationally claimed the first lady was an “escort” for Jeffrey Epstein and met the president through the notorious sex offender.

Honestly, we knew this. Even if we didn't know he was connected. She was a sex worker and she lit his candle. What a surprise.

Room bursts into laughter as MAGA influencer flounders to name one way the economy has improved under Trump in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] some_guy 4 points 1 day ago

Trump ran for a return to the Oval Office in 2024 on a promise to bring inflation under control and end “forever war” commitments overseas.

Instead, he has introduced a reciprocal tariffs policy that has seen the increased cost of imports passed onto consumers and attacked Iran, resulting in higher gas prices following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The thing is, they're fucking stupid and incapable of learning. A lot of this is because of our hollowed-out educational system, but some are just meth-addict fucks. Fuck them. I hope they burn.

Were our user prefs reset? (self.sdfpubnix)

I hope this is the right place to ask:

My inbox was reset to 9 months ago. I had a ton of unread messages that are gone. Are settings that I applied (subscribing to channels, blocking trolls (almost never cause I disagree with blocking), other customization) before the site went offline lost / need manual updates?

Let's go, Lemmy SDF!

I just randomly kept trying this site whenever I thought of it. I'm so happy it's back. I paused / gave up on Lemmy cause I didn't want to create a new profile on an instance that blocks others or otherwise isn't open. I love you, SDF!

We're fucking back!!!! (self.chat)
 

Contributed to the storage fund. After a couple of weeks, I genuinely thought the site wouldn't come back. I'm so happy!

  • my instance went offline last month due to storage issues. i've been off lemmy because i'm instance-loyal (sounds stupid, but i like where i am and i don't like decisions some other instances made)

I can't find a community that feels like the right place to say this, so forgive me. I'm winging it.

It's amazing to me that we can still find new heavenly bodies within our own solar system in 2025. Not to mention the possibility that we have data that suggests there might be yet another beyond Pluto, but that's still speculative.

Science: one of the only topics that doesn't suck in 2025.

A New Discovery Might Have Just Rewritten Human History (www.404media.co)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/40535172

“What's really interesting about humans and their ancestors is we're a technologically dependent species,” Finestone said. “We rely on tools. We're obligate tool users. We don't do it opportunistically or occasionally the way that a lot of other animals use tools. It's really become ingrained in our way of life, in our survival, and our foraging strategies across all people and all cultures.”

The study of early hominins (our cousins) and the many branches in the path of our evolution is easily my favorite area of science. This topic is evergreen, with new discoveries every year that frequently upend our understanding of the landscape. Dinos and the like are fave number two.

ICE Adds Random Person to Group Chat, Exposes Details of Manhunt in Real-Time (www.404media.co)
 

The person accidentally added to the group chat, which appears to contain six people, said they had no idea why they had received these messages, and shared screenshots of the chat with 404 Media. 404 Media granted the person anonymity to protect them from retaliation.

One of six will not be hard to find… I mean, what?
