with clover slowing down our only choice is to compete. that means being fast and responsive with a modern architecture. much of fiserv is based on 1980's technology will a small group of people who resist change and sabotage progress. the key for leadership is to remove these roadblocks and then to execute at a high level the next two years. it's a daunting challenge to be sure

A bunch of dev teams are getting hit hard, some seeing up to 50% redundancies. AI tools are apparently going to pick up the slack

With Q2 Gro no longer being actively developed, has there been any impact on the team responsible for it, such as restructuring or layoffs?

The manufacturing landscape will experience paradigm shifts as Elon makes moves that are incomprehensible from your narrowly defined viewpoints

Especially Technology. AI (All Indian) Company.

Y'all given a mask and voila! the racism is revealed.
Listen, if you wonderful Americans were smart and effective, there is no need for the management to go around looking for "PoOr InDiAnS". They know Indians are smart, efficient, and get the job done for a decent paycheck. and oh my GOD how SLOW do you guys WORK? (Not all, of course, I've met multiple smart Americans but then there are the disgusting slackers) Your brains don't work coz you've been in the company for 25+ years and you all do such MIND NUMBING WORK, with no passion nor energy. But guess what? you get paid 4x for that. That's a waste of money, nah mate? Instead Indians here do the SAME Work, HALF the TIME, HALF the COST. Maybe if you dimwits pulled up your socks, stopped poking your nose in other people's business ("WhY iS He WoRkiNG fRoM HoMe" Sir, its 2025. We use TECHNOLOGY to get jobs done faster and smarter. Go back to 1925 if you want to work the way you want) you can maybe, one day, prevent jobs from getting outsourced. But nah, you all on here, ranting coz you know your job is on the line - warming seats in office for a hefty paycheck ain't helping you keep your job. Next time you wanna be a racist, ask yourself, "Am I qualified to be one?" coz chances are, you aren't. Pray for yourself, your family, and IF you have it within yourself, for others. Coz at the end of the day we are all corporate slaves.

Those days Cisco file lawsuits against Huawei and Arista, Cisco thought it was too good.

Huawei now has a chip that is already 1,300 faster than the best chip out of NVIDIA, never mind Huawei has beeter phones than Apple. Of course networking equipment from Huawei.

Arista been eating up Cisco’s lunch within last 10 years, Even Arista is already out of date in current technology landscape.

What’s left there for Cisco? Except now claiming glorified scripting as Cisco AI

Was chatting with some guys from another company, and this is the deal: Oracle is data-starved. It doesn't hoard any data. They're just a database/infra, not a data goldmine like Amazon, Meta, Google, Apple or LinkedIn.

Our engineering needs are simple: basic text analysis for infra. We aren't running anything complex. The algorithms are straightforward, and any future coding is so basic, it's easily handled by LLMs and junior employees.

You can get by with Oracle for now, but long-term? You've already lost the race.
Oracle doesn't need you anymore. And you shouldn't rely on Oracle anymore.

Remember what CEO AK said, quantum is the next "AI"... whatever that means!

Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem, NVIDIA began as a graphics processing company focused on improving video game visuals. Its breakthrough came in 1999 with the launch of the GeForce 256, the world’s first GPU, revolutionizing computer graphics and parallel computing. Over the next two decades, NVIDIA expanded beyond gaming into high-performance computing, data centers, and artificial intelligence. Its CUDA platform, introduced in 2006, enabled GPUs to accelerate AI and scientific workloads, cementing NVIDIA’s role at the heart of the AI revolution. Today, NVIDIA is a global leader in GPUs, AI chips, and data center solutions, shaping industries from gaming to autonomous vehicles and generative AI.

I've not found even one good use case so far in my line of application engineering. What are people's opinions on how much of the current "AI will change the world like steam engine" sentiment is reality vs marketing?

Taking requests now. Thank you so much.

The Apple IIe (styled as Apple //e) is the third model in the Apple II series of personal computers produced by Apple Computer. It was released in January 1983 as the successor to the Apple II Plus. The e in the name stands for enhanced. It is the first Apple II with built-in lowercase, 80-column text support and 64K RAM standard, while reducing the total chip count from previous models by approximately 75%.

Improved expandability combined with the new features made for an attractive general-purpose machine to first-time computer shoppers. As the last surviving model of the Apple II computer line before discontinuation, and having been manufactured and sold for nearly 11 years with relatively few changes, the IIe was the longest-lived computer in Apple's history.

Never had a IIe. But I worked on a Lisa.

Has anyone ever worked with this group before? Are they a solid team? Is Ataccama a top tier tool, their leadership is pushing the he-l out of that thing…

The first hard drive was the IBM 350 Disk Storage Unit, introduced in 1956 as part of the IBM 305 RAMAC computer system. It could store 3.75 to 5 megabytes of data on 50 24-inch platters, weighed over a ton, and was roughly the size of two large refrigerators.

This introduced the concept of random access storage, which was a major improvement over previous methods like magnetic tape and punched cards.

Will never forget that magical time.

A subdivision of my team specialises in F5 devices and we talked about this issue yesterday. Our Global Competency Lead for the technology believes that F5 is pretty much cooked and they don’t even have the mechanisms to trace all the configuration files that have been stolen.

Tech affected and DM majorly wrecked. Nasty times. Be safe.

Is cpu going 3rd party?

Now can he be fired.

People complaining on reddit that during exam session on the MyLearn courses it crashes down. Will AI be supportive to resolve issues?

Would be a lot better!

This is a time I wish I could have been a part of. It started out as 4 nodes. Had I been a bit older I would have been a part of the beginning. It was 6 years later that I did become a part of implementing the ARPANET which would become the internet. It's likely most on this board weren't even born yet.

Fortran is a computer language that is for the most part ridiculed (unjustly) now, however it was used to get us to the moon and back, and was used to implement the first packet switching.

"From there, the military agency funded a project to create such a network. For the system to work, it needed a way to break up messages from a sender into smaller portions that were then reassembled at the destination. Boehm and Baran simulated this process, which would eventually become known as packet switching, using a program written in the computer language Fortran."

Those were exciting times never to be had again.

Is anyone else ready for the shitstorm that will be end of month wire issues? Ever since we got to the ISO platform, which everyone touted they took 3 years to work on and will absolutely work, I've had nothing but dissatisfied customers and wires either being caught in queue for too long, leaving the bank but reporting lagging for hours, or not even leaving the bank. I feel we have taken a major step backwards when it comes to technology and our senior leaders have no idea what's going on, which is sad and disappointing but not surprising. I now have to be online an extra 3 hours tomorrow just in case there are wire issues because instead of creating an in-house program with our tech team like other major banks, we naturally outsourced it to a third party at the cheapest price so we get what we pay for. And, we are also the largest bank to use this platform and I don't believe this platform can fully support the number of transactions that go through on a daily basis especially at any type of end, such as month end, quarter end, fiscal year end, etc

Been giving it serious thought, as I have been job searching and finding little movement or activity from applying, agency recruiters, etc. It might be due to now in Q4 and "circle back season", but I wonder if I should use this time to explore other options and going back to school part-time.

Anyone else thinking about this?

I swear to whoever the creator is these execs are d-mb as he-l. Buying cheap platforms for a big a-s org like UHC and the companies it’s bought out plus offshoring to overseas third world countries results in so many tech issues and SD and upper management want to act surprised systems are down.

It's been a long time coming--but a much steeper trajectory toward then end--but this company's technology organization has officially fallen to Indians. If you are not an Indian, your career prospects are bleak. They also keep telling us that the new offshore capability center isn't intended to reduce the FTE onshore footprint, but just know, you are being lied to like you have been lied to about prior layoffs and RTO. It truly saddens me to say this because I've been loyal to this company for a long time, but this place isn't even recognizable anymore.

Any team that is in Azure is reporting 100% impact. All regions. Azure support helpless on the call. During peak season!

Man, sure am glad we decommissioned Chaska and Elk River and mandated the company go 100x to the cloud!!! What could go wrong?

What a disaster.

Does anyone have inside info on whether Emerson will be laying off same huge number of employees like other big tech companies?

So, given what happened yesterday, how impacted was AWS, particularly the actual techs who worked there?

They let go many white engineers.

My husband was just laid off. He's technically in the Tech space so looks like no sector is safe. He wasn't an engineer btw.

Team lost tech lead this morning.

"Skyworks Solutions will BUY smaller rival Qorvo, they said on Tuesday, forming a $22 billion combined company that supplies radio-frequency chips to Apple and other smartphone makers."

The stock-and-cash deal, which will create one of the largest U.S. suppliers of radio-frequency chips. The aim is to repositoon the new company for a recovery in the smartphone market.
