[ Glass Almanac: IBM laid off 8,000 employees to replace them with AI—what they didn’t expect was having to rehire as many due to AI ] glassalmanac.com/ibm-laid-off-… This is what happens when management doesn't fully understand what its employees do, or the value they bring to their organization. #HR #Corporatocracy #IBM #AI #LayOffs
In 2023, IBM made headlines with the announcement of nearly 8,000 layoffs, primarily from support roles such as Human Resources. The goal? To replace these workers ... Continue Reading →
the article states that they saved $3.5 billion and were able to invest those savings into hiring people for more specialized roles that require human creativity and ingenuity. This is an article about how pivoting to genAI for certain tasks actually created more and better jobs for humans. I don't see this applying to many other companies who would rather use the savings to "reward" executives and investors.
The Israeli Civil Administration’s Supreme Planning Council approved a decision this week that threatens to escalate displacement policies in “Firing Zone 918” in the South Hebron Hills. Under the new ruling, a military commander’s notice alone can now dismiss any planning or legal proceedings that Palestinian residents of Masafer Yatta seek to pursue.
This precedent-setting change aims to preemptively block residents’ attempts to defend their homes, lands, and schools in villages including Sfai, al-Majaz, Jinba, Tuba, Thuban, al-Halawa, al-Markaz, and al-Fakhit. Legal sources anticipate a wave of court dismissals in coming weeks, with demolitions expected soon, similar to recent violent demolition operations in Khalet a-Daba that erased the village entirely.

In a new phase of Operation True Promise III on Saturday morning, Iranian armed forces fired a barrage of missiles and drones at the occupied territories.
Music therapy is recognized as a medically effective intervention for various conditions including stroke, brain injury, Parkinson's and dementia; it helps restore speech, improve movement and reduce anxiety Research shows surgical patients exposed to music before and after operations need fewer painkillers, experience less anxiety and report better overall recovery outcomes Music engages multiple brain regions simultaneously, creating a "whole-brain" stimulation that conventional therapies don’t achieve, making it especially valuable for rehabilitation Music therapy works by regulating your autonomic nervous system, lowering cortisol levels, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing without pharmaceutical side effects Creating personalized playlists for different emotional states and practicing mindful listening helps harness music's powerful neurological effects for emotional and physical wellness

Our fishing upstrairs neighbour who brings us fish in exchance for sourdough bread brought us some pike and perch last week. Had some zander in the freezer and so these three kinds of lake fish cakes were born. Panko crusted gourgeousness.😋

Iran says IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi facilitated Israeli aggressions by preparing a “biased” report on its nuclear program. It demands IAEA end actions against Israel as per the NPT and UN principles.

Nothing says 'native people' like fleeing the land you claim is yours, the moment it gets uncomfortable, with passports from where you’re actually from 🙄
These 'indigenous' Middle Easterners are returning home...
not just gaza, palestinian/arab Israelis apparently don't get shelters either. At least according to CNN, Guardian, Haarez. ... don't need to go to Al Jazeera for these news, but they say it too of course.
But of course Israel isn't an apartheid state, perish the thought ...
ULKOPUOLISET – yhteinen blokki tasa-arvon politiikalle Helsinki Pridessa! Kulkueesta suljettiin pois eduskunnan ulkopuoliset puolueet. Emme hyväksy tätä. Se rajaa queer-ihmisten ja muiden poliittista itseilmaisua. Siksi marssimme Ulkopuolisina. Kutsumme mukaan kaikki, joille ei pelkkä karnevaali riitä. Teidät, joille Pride on protesti, tilaa olla näkyvästi queer, köyhä, vammainen, paperiton, työtön, radikaali. #Ulkopuoliset #Pride2025 #HelsinkiPride2025 TYKKÄÄ JA JAA! facebook.com/events/s/ulkopuol…
Selon les chercheurs de Qualys, l’exploitation fonctionne sur toutes les versions non patchées, donc si vous n’avez pas fait de mise à jour de sécurité depuis le 17 juin 2025, vous êtes vulnérables.
Le plus chiant dans cette affaire, c’est pas tant la faille en elle-même (on en découvre tous les jours), mais c’est surtout sa simplicité de mise en exploitation. Linux est quand même un système ultra-sécurisé où chaque privilège est accordé au compte-gouttes, et là, pouf, 2 services par défaut suffisent pour transformer n’importe qui en administrateur système.

It's official, Valve put The Last of Us Part 1 through Deck Verified and gave it an Unsupported status on Steam Deck. Not really a good look for either Valve or Naughty Dog.
the doctor asked if he could use AI during the appointment
i said 'no'
he said i was the only one who had refused
pro tip: if what you say to AI is shared with an insurance company, if what you said is not what you said because AI made stuff up, if what you said is revealed in a breach
guess what, your insurance company will use that against you forever and ever
I am writing to you with utmost urgency and deep alarm regarding a brazen and unlawful act of aggression perpetrated by the Israeli regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
A small team of researchers at Tongji University, working with a colleague from the Shanghai Academy of Landscape Architecture Science and Planning, both in China, has found that growing plants on roofs can serve as an effective way to remove micropl…
Human-like object concept representations emerge naturally in multimodal large language models. Embeddings showed human-like semantic clustering and interpretable dimensions.
Strong alignment with neural patterns (e.g., fusiform face area, parahippocampal cortex) reveals that models share fundamental similarities that reflect key aspects of human conceptual knowledge.
I have a zero turn radius lawnmower. So today I cut the grass in spirals. Started in a section spun in place and worked my way out. It was fun but not very efficient. I had to go back and mow all the triangles between the spirals. My BIL came by to check on his garden. "You cut your lawn in circles?, he asked. I made my best bewildered look and asked "doesn't everybody?" He just shook his head and looked disgusted, like I had committed some terrible immorality. It amused me.
I do circles quite often as some years ago I plopped a large mound of soil in the yard for pumpkins or something.. I’ll work my way out from there and when I get to the edge of the woods I’ll start a new circle around the trampoline..
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Foreign ministers of Arab states have strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s recent strikes on Iran, calling them a dangerous violation of international law and a provocation that threatens to ignite a wider regional war.
in the past i've been skeptical about trump being involved in diddling kids, even though he was loosely associated with epstein, but his inexplicable flip on iran makes me think it's more likely that he's being blackmailed
it could also be explained by some combination of threats and extortion. or maybe he's just surrounded by neocon and mossad psyops agents and they have put all kinds of crazy ideas into his diet-coke-addled brain. something has changed.
The White House deceptively edited a video of Tulsi Gabbard's testimony to make it look like she was warning that Iran was close to developing nuclear weapons.
We’ve been talking about Skrmetti all week. For better or worse, the name brings to my mind pasta. So in honor or the Supreme Court decision, I made Skrmetti Puttanesca.
Those who forget the pasta are doomed to repeat it, but I will be repeating it anyway. It’s tasty.
But I feel pretty certain that using God as a justification for a war of choice would fall into the “Thou shall not use the Lord’s name in vain” category.
I'm wondering what skills it would be desirable for *individuals* to know, or maybe just "have that skillset in an individual household - vs. knowing someone in your community that can do it.
1) I think it's desirable to be able to cook a basic meal. I don't think it's necessary to be able to, say, bake bread or pull together a full-on feast for 10 people, but that would be a good thing to have someone in your community who *is* able to.
2) Mending clothes - I think it's desirable to be able to mend a hole in a sweater. I don't think it's necessary to be able to knit a sweater, but it would be good to know someone who can.
3) Basic DIY - eg. wiring a plug, unblocking a sink. I'm not talking plastering a wall - again, it would be good to know someone who can.
I'm sort of thinking - there are things one can do to a basic level, which would probably be good for everyone to have at least a basic understanding of.
Then there are things which it would be good to know someone who is expert level in them, who you can call on.
Any thoughts?
I'm wondering what skill gaps I have that I'm missing and can possibly fill in; as well as wondering what I could probably do with finding someone who is skilled in X task that is realistically beyond me.
(Very much open to discussion/challenge on what I've already written, this is just musing at this point)
Caveats and clarity - might get edited later:
"Desirable" rather than "necessary", because not everyone is capable of doing these. I hope I don't need to explain that further.
"individual" or "household" - as in, you don't need to call someone for help on this. Sure, you might need to wait for someone to get home, but that's it.
Neofeud is a Dystopic Cyberpunk adventure game in the vein of Blade Runner, but with an overlay of Game of Thrones-like political intrigue, and 1366x768, hand-painted, stylized visuals.
My son (22) has just completed BSc "Cybercrime and IT Security" at SETU (Carlow). He doesn't have his final results yet but should get a decent honours grade.
Edit: He got a 2.1
He also has a bit of relevant work experience from a couple of placements.
He's in Ireland and would ideally like a post that's mainly WFH and full-time.
If anyone knows of any suitable vacancies or can suggest places he can punt his CV to, please let me know. Obviously he'll be exploring LinkedIn and the usual recruitment sites.
Une étude récente établit l’hypothèse que le néolibéralisme en France s’est construit comme un capitalisme d’État chargé d’assurer la prospérité du capital. Une vision qui permet de mieux comprendre les débats budgétaires actuels.
🚨URGENT - Guerre à la guerre : La police encercle le bâtiment et la brav est a l'entrée principale
C'est inédit. A deux heures du début de la manifestation guerre a la guerre, la police menace d'entrer dans la bourse du travail de Bobigny ou une centaine de personnes assistent a des débats.
Aucune décision de juge n'a été communiquée en appui de cette opération de police manifestement hors de tout cadre légal.
Plusieurs personnes ont dores et déjà été interpellées.
Nous ne nous laisserons pas intimider, le meeting et la manifestation auront bien lieu. Rendez-vous place de la libération a Bobigny des maintenant.
“Sirens continued to blare across Greater Tel Aviv as interception efforts were underway. Explosions were reportedly heard over #TelAviv, #Jerusalem, #Haifa, and parts of the coastal plain, according to multiple Israeli outlets”
TEHRAN, Jun. 20 (MNA) – Iran will not negotiate with no side until Israel regime stops attacks on Iran, Iranian Foreign Minister said after meeting with his counterparts from Germany, the United Kingdom, and France.
🔴 Plus de 50 activistes, à l'appel de la Confédération paysanne 63, d'Attac, de XR Clermont, BNM et aussi beaucoup de citoyen·nes ont convergé vers le péage de Gerzat ce samedi 21 juin pour dire Non à la loi Duplomb.
Cette loi que la FNSEA veut nous imposer, va réintroduire des pesticides tueur d'abeilles, qui nuisent gravement à la santé des paysan·nes et de toute la population.
La commission paritaire va se réunir le 30 juin pour décider en petit comité de notre santé et de la destruction de la biodiversité, au passage en nous privant d'un débat démocratique.
✊ Dimanche 29 juin venez toutes et tous à une grande manifestation qui aura lieu à 11h au Puy.
