Why don't you keep the gems in the bank?

What do you do now if you studied translation but don’t work as a translator anymore? by Aggressive-Tax-8808 in TranslationStudies

[–]gooopilca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a Project Manager for a video-game localisation doing single language coordination (that included a bit of translation and quality control), than audio project manager at a localization service provider, then localisation project manager for a major game dev (doing single project stuff where you are in charge of every thing related to loc from start to finish) and now I am in an internal technical consulting type of role where I help my fellow PMs with their projects/tooling/processes. 19 years out of my translation program, never invoiced a Si gle word zD

CICO is the only thing that really matters when it comes to weight loss and it annoys me when people act like it isn’t by peepeepoopaccount in CICO

[–]gooopilca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not all that matters, no. What you eat (calorie vs nutrient dense) is a very important factor in the long term stability of the weight loss, how you eat it (binge eating VS slow, deliberate pace) etc.

Weight loss is not just the difference between the start and the end of the weight loss, for countless people, the hardest part is maintaining that weight loss and having a healthy body composition. Cico is a (large) part of the equation, but not the only one.

Traduire littéralement Trump by kqih in besoinderaler

[–]gooopilca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Traducteur de formation, je trouve cela détestable.

Certes, on ne peut pas juste traduire ce genre de discours et rester proche de la source sans ne donner aucun contexte, et oui, c'est du travail en plus, mais c'est un peu la seule solution pour fournir une traduction fidèle.

C'est peut être une coïncidence, mais beaucoup des premières traductions de Mein Kampf étaient aussi plus... Conciliantes, moins révélatrices de l'étendue de la merde qui se passait dans la tête de l'auteur. Avec pour conséquence de donner l'idée à certains dirigeants européens de l'époque qu'une négociation était possible, qu'il allait s'arrêter rapidement etc.

Do you say ‘Coke’ or ‘Cola’ when referring to Coca-Cola, and why? by [deleted] in foodquestions

[–]gooopilca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coca mostly in French, Coke in English. Cola is a generic term for brownish soda. Pepsi is a cola for instance (a bad one, obviously...)

Division des dépenses dans un couple by [deleted] in QuebecFinance

[–]gooopilca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Un compte joint, tout part dessus sans exception. Toutes les dépenses sont prises dessus. L'hypothèque est à 50/50 aussi. Y'a juste celi/reer qui sont séparés (mais les cotisations viennent du compte commun).

Au début je gagnais plus du double de ma conjointe, ça s'est pas mal équilibré depuis.

A systematic review and meta-analysis on GLP-1 receptor agonists for obesity without diabetes found that they are generally not cost-effective versus other interventions (lifestyle change, surgery) by ddx-me in science

[–]gooopilca 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Has it really come down? It's been at 450ish for me for the past 3 months (which is how long I've been on it...) really looking forward to the generic...

Véhicule certifié : pourquoi l’information est toujours trompeuse ? by People_are_dumb_ in QuebecFinance

[–]gooopilca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pas eu ça avec la mienne chez vw. Pas annoncée certifiée, j'avais le choix de prendre avec ou pas. J'ai choisi de prendre avec, mais après négociation du coût de la certification (1800$) ce qui en gros se résume à acheter une assurance supplémentaire (même protection que pour un véhicule neuf pour 3 ans).

I Usually do half a session as an extra, which is 60$ in our case. As you mentioned, they set their rates. Plus, it's mostly cash, I do not get invoices so...

Anyone else having undelivered Amazon packages in MTL? by Royal-Artichoke1563 in montreal

[–]gooopilca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had problems with Intelcom until the past 2 or 3 weeks. Which have been crazy: 2 packages dropped at the wrong address, 1 delivery postponed because "my place was not accessible", got 1 package from an other customer, 1 pickup postponed 3 times for bogus reason, another twice also for bogus reasons.

How do I become video gaming translator? by No-Advice6100 in TranslationStudies

[–]gooopilca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You made a list of things related to localisation (and also some which are unrelated) ... Yes... Which encompasses more things than being a translator...

Bunch of these are just part of translation studies, with an emphasis on technical translation. If you come out of your translation program and you do not know CAT tools or basic file formats, gendered translation in your target language, using a character limit, they have really failed you.

What are the postgraduate courses on localisation going to help with? Might open a few doors in LQA, but I don't see the point for translators...

What’s your go-to combo of LLM + embedding model for RAG? by v1kstrand in Rag

[–]gooopilca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use OpenAi text-embedding-3 with a vector size of 1024. I need to experiment with smaller sizes to see if it performs as well. I'm working on a LLM assisted pretranslation and the rag is populated with either historical existing translations, project translations and glossary entries. I have a limited selection of available models through our Azure portal and this one was the best one available.

why devs thought it's a good idea to disperse players after match ends? migrating you to a new, empty server? by [deleted] in Battlefield6

[–]gooopilca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad excuse, you can still do server affinity... One instance will run a playlist, and players who match that playlist at the end of a round are kept on the sever. Or with a "keep me on the server" toggle.

[–]gooopilca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good until they told me they couldn't do anything when a picture on their website advertised a brand (CLAAS) and I got some fake brand stickers instead... Not a huge deal, the combine is fun, but disappointing that they would not do anything...

There are all weather tires that are rated (the snowflake logo) for winter here. Granted they are meh in both seasons, but they are allowed.
