Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon employees are “tokenmaxxing” due to pressure to use AI toolsEnglish
13·3 days agoAnd the only way to prevent this would have been keeping it away from managers eyes.
Only the AI team should have access to that data. Maybe a separate “efficiency” data team can crunch numbers on completed tasks vs tokens.
Never let managers or end users see a chart of token usage. That’s just stupid.
This is just going to burn compute even more on LLM crap for no reason. Just burn it all down.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a big internal debate within a fandom or hobby you are a part of that outsiders probably wouldn't care about?
2·7 days agoI was a massive SIMS2 player. When Sims3 came out and my dude walked away from the wall with the phone and sat on the couch I flipped my shit. Finally can increase social workout comfort going to hell. Haha
I got super annoyed by lightnovels over there because it’s Japanese only and I mentioned in a comment a Korean novel. A mod rightly called me out.
It was clearly against the rules but that’s annoying. I don’t event track if a novel is Korean or Japanese since they’re all translated. (Names are hard to remember so I just switch it to MC in my brain)

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes LiveEnglish
5·26 days ago$7/month per TB is expensive as a data hoarder…
Best to scope it down to documents, git and photos.
The rest gets an onsite backup to externals.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What to do if it is difficult to read novels or web novels?
1·27 days agoEveryone is saying audiobooks which are read by voice actors. Have you tried TTS (Text to speech) apps?
I’ve been using @Voice for years and super happy with it.
I read WNs and LNs from Japan and Korea extremely often. I don’t really read them though. I listen while doing chores/driving.
You can share a website to it and it’ll load a few chapters using the <next> button.
If pre loading doesn’t work you can email the Dev and they’d fix it within 48 hours in my experience.

Late Stage Capitalism@lemmy.world•Mental breakdown for the win
3·27 days ago🤣
The issue with him is people with standard exp can’t get standard roles due to too many overqualified applicants.
But yeah. Opening up entry level roles for people with standard exp sucks.

7·27 days agoSounds like the company needs to create a lower level position at lower pay to get the less qualified people in. Then you can promote from that pool when you need the higher level positions.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What unethical life hack would you recommend to others?
3·1 month agoYeah nearly every time they end up on my side.
My latest issue that didn’t help at all with with a Verizon call to a CSR in India. She was a human robot reading a script. Didn’t listen to me at all just following her prompts. An AI would’ve done a better job.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What unethical life hack would you recommend to others?
17·1 month agoWhen I have an issue with a corp and have to talk to a human I start with an apology to that individual.
“Hey I have an issue with X about Y, but I have nothing against you as a person. You’re just trying to do your job and probably deal with a ton of verbal abuse. I apologize in advance if I get upset or use crude language during this call. Be aware that I’m not upset at you I’m upset at the company policies.”

14·1 month agoIf you ever see someone stealing food.
No you didn’t.I’ve seen shoplifters stealing granola bars or chips before. Not said a word.
Stealing electronics? Fuck that person.

4·1 month agoI was hoping eBike could use them. I’ve seen one too many of those go up. Possibly from shoddy 3rd party batteries.

18·1 month agoI recall reading the same.
Sodium batteries make loads of sense for house batteries like solar storage.
Its always DNS.
There’s a XKCD for that.
I tried to make a snowman on the first storm of the season and it was too fluffy to form. I was too tired to try again.






Its a fancy scarecrow.
