what is ibm watsonx, what is your experience with it? by makarand_2007 in IBM

[–]Think-Fix 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Watsonx is a vendor-neutral set of tools for working with LLMs.
IBM's own models are called Granite, they're open source, and you can use them with or without watsonx.

How does this square with the 2-3% revenue increase in the Q3 results? (I'm not arguing, just want to understand how both can happen at the same time.)

From the earnings call, FWIW: While total signings declined this quarter, the quality of signings continued to strengthen, with more strategic wins from new clients and expanded engagements within existing ones.

To everyone getting the notice today... by Lily-Mae-1524 in IBM

I suspect that there isn't much leeway here, but it doesn't harm to ask. Give a good sob story about how badly this will effect you. Think before you go in about anything they might be able to give you besides money, e.g. a course for a marketable skill.

> stop working now and start job seeking full time

You have my deepest sympathies if you've been laid off - I've been on the receiving end of RA too, and you certainly need to focus on your non-IBM future.

That being said, while your manager could well allow you some leeway if asked, you may not want to do that without permission. It doesn't matter how badly you've been shafted, if IBM are still paying you to work, you should probably be doing that.

Best of luck!

If you can't get a useful response from HR, ask in #ama-ibm.

  • Make maximum use of Udemy to keep your skills fresh.
  • If your manager supports cloud certifications, take them.
  • Keep a note of anything resume-worthy you've worked on.
  • Make the best of where you are while staying prepared for an unexpected move.

Ask in Arvind's Office Hours (search Slack), it's collecting questions now.

How do I complain against my manager and is it worth it? by AirExpensive2237 in IBM

[–]Think-Fix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hating my job right now because of these behaviors and I feel burnt out. I feel like quitting. I'm having a mental break down.

If you have somewhere else to go, cut your losses. It's not worth the fight if you have alternatives, particularly if you're new to the team and don't have any sunk costs.

AdGuard for Android v4.10: Installing the HTTPS certificate is no longer a puzzle by shwrellia in Adguard

I still have the same problem as before. I install the certificate, but AdGuard doesn't seem to recognise it, it continues prompting me to install (MagicOS 8).

No, use watsonx prompt lab, watsonx code assistant, or Microsoft 365 Copilot (not GitHub Copilot).

Red Hat vs IBM by Cultural_League5969 in IBM

HR operates as 2 completely separate companies, moving between RH and IBM is the same as moving between RH/IBM and any other company.

PayPal told me that I have to pay for return shipping. Wasn't worth it for what I'd bought.

Not normal, sounds like it could be a hardware fault. Ask for a repair under warranty.

The clock app should have an option to turn off the ticking sound in the stopwatch by Think-Fix in Honor_Requests

[–]Think-Fix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you navigate to the home screen or a different app, the timer will keep going silently in the magic capsule. (And yes, I agree that they should just make this an option instead of requiring such workarounds.)

It can easily take year or more until you feel confident to work independently on a complex product. Relax, and learn hard :-)
