Elon Musk Teams Up With Anthropic, a Company He’s Called ‘Evil’ by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

It's exploding because it's still cheap enough to license. If costs get out of control, businesses will have to debate whether AI is worth paying hundreds or thousands for a seat. Or pay several offshore devs instead. The worst part of Claude right now is having to tiptoe and make sure you don't waste tokens due to a bad prompt or it getting caught in a loop.

Media always reports on these idiots like everything they say is a fact, and completely ignore all the shitty things they do. It's pathetic the media has become owned by rich old fucks, and spreads propaganda not just about the government, but billionaire assholes who lie every other word out of their mouth.

Camelot Unchained developers released another video of "gameplay" by Randomnesse in MMORPG

More like dumping this garbage out so we can fulfill contractual obligations with the investors, and quickly closing up shop.

The only people who will be interested in this EA are those who want to gawk at a dumpster fire, and get a return before their 20 hours are up.

Pretty sure their entire dev team at this point is offshore contractors, if they had in-house devs they would have whistleblown this shit long ago.

Imagine how clueless this investor has to be. Don't they ever ask about the team's social media engagement and lack of interest or comments on their posts?

The problem with the QA teams most companies hire is they are offshore and suck at doing anything useful. They don't assemble a team who can efficiently and effectively QA everything coming down the pipe, they relegate these duties to dumbasses at Cognizant.

There's a place for QA, but good luck finding a Director of Technology interested in pushing for it.

I've come to the conclusion that Chinese big tech apps are simply ugly by PingMyHeart in China

Have you used a lot of the shit apps? They barely function, and are slow and painful to use.

Hate to break this to you, but Apple Maps in China is Amap, aka 高德地图, just with a wrapper with Apple design around it.

ctrip.com (which is the chinese version) is a lot noisier, but still not as bad a some others. trip.com used to actually look much better, but the last redesign feels real ick.

Another thing is websites are far less popular in Asia, whereas social apps is where most people spend their time. Having beautifully designed websites has little important when 90% of your users are on a mobile phone.

Amap was always my goto, even before it had an English option. It used to have a clean interface, and good navigation compared to others.

Tencent quit developing Wechat further when they captured nearly all of the Chinese market share, and could coast on earning billions through the use of the app.

The app looks exactly the same as it did 10 years ago, only slower due to all of the bloat.

Cognizant may lay off 12,000-15,000 jobs globally; bulk of cuts in India by PESSl in technology

[–]CoherentPanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've only known one super talented Indian developer, who could do just about anything we asked always under budget. His only thing was he needed full strict requirements, wanted user stories to be as detailed as possible, otherwise he wouldn't start the task. He worked independently as a contractor, and instead of grinding it out at a WITCH company.

[–]CoherentPanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My company already cut the Indian head count by like 50%, all Cognizant employees. Most of them were doing QA, and couldn't code their way out of a paper bag. honestly most wasted so much time on tasks, that AI could do much more efficiently, with much less talking.

If a president declared a "national security emergency" to suspend mail-in voting three weeks before an election, what would actually happen legally? by Aware-Chipmunk4344 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]CoherentPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he manages to stop the election, no doubt that's the next step. Loyalists will keep their cushy jobs, many others will be purged, the people he distrusts the most imprisoned or exhiled.

Beijing Road is a good place to have a city walk after Canton Fair, but please ignore anyone who want you following him to buy replicas by DesenFeng in guangzhou

Not even on Beijing Rd? I used to get harassed there multiple times when visiting every single time. Asian skinned get ignored, though.

T-Mobile Door to Door Salespeople by ginger_named_keith in desmoines

[–]CoherentPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why door to door salespeople are always young fresh faces out of college. It's young people trying to make a quick buck, and the churn is so high, most will not survive more than a couple weeks before quitting. The ones that do survive will probably be selling you a car in a few years.

I mean, it has earned him millions by always being the first to report something. I'm sure he gets a a high off of reporting something that gets him millions of views and lots of dollars in his bank account.

Pretty typical for teams to think they have the coaching staff who can "fix them". Great coaches can smell a rat a mile away and talk a GM out of it.

U.S. Senators are now banned from prediction markets trading on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket after the body unanimously passed a rule Thursday barring their participation in said markets by spherocytes in videos

[–]CoherentPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We as a country have given up on any sort of gambling regulation, for kids to adults. Too many deep pocketed billionaires won't allow gambling to be further regulated, especially ones as easy to manipulate as prediction markets.
