Help me choose a distro!
My coffee preparation method is:
I drink this one kind of instant coffee that does not even need me to heat the water, I can just mix it in cold water and be good with it. It’s still coffee and I don’t have to make the slightest effort.
Watch as it does jack shit to inflation as the wage price spiral was always just a bogeyman to make sure a recession always only hits workers.
No, the loved one was actually the author, it’s a children’s book actually, light fiction, think early Harry Potter for example.
It’s a self-published hobby project, with a few dozen copies sold in the original language since there are relatively few speakers and light novels for kids are unfortunately a very small niche everywhere, and we didn’t really market it either since earning money wasn’t really the goal. The reason I’m mentioning that it was not professional work is that I’m not misrepresenting the amount of work done to someone paying me, and I’m actually interested in preserving the qualities of the original, I really don’t want to make more LLM slop, and I especially don’t want to make LLM slop out of something that has meaning to me personally. I’ve put at least a few hundred hours of manual work into it to make sure it isn’t.
But the idea is indeed to self-publish it and sell a few copies to people who are interested. It’s not about the income (the author actually has a regular job and is freelancing in 2 others, this is literally just a hobby), it’s more about the feeling of having made something that made other people interested enough to pay five bucks for it.
Responding to the other topic, one interesting thing about the translation that I’ve found out (and mistranslations from the LLM actually helped spark this idea), is if you can somehow convey the context to the reader, it can make it fresh and interesting and something they haven’t read before, and that’s true not just about idioms, but other cultural patterns as well.
Think how the world and themes of Witcher was something refreshing and new for most international audiences, while in its home country it was very recognizable where the author got his material from.
Russian marines and paratroopers
Apparently these are elite troops as well.
Yeah, I was just thinking “is KLM not working, or what”?
Rescue planes are usually for places where commercial air traffic has broken down and there is no safe way out of the country.
That’s a very good question.
I have made extensive edits to the original LLM translation, as it got a lot of things wrong. To be honest, it got a lot of the stuff that is unique to the book and that made the book special wrong, both in words, or intent, and I had to correct it. My workflow was literally putting it in the prompt, taking the output, then putting the two texts next to each other and deciding, sentence by sentence, word by word:
All in all, I think the LLM did the heavy lifting in remembering all the odd words and grammar, and it gave me a very flawed first draft. It was 80% of the time, but like 5% of the actual creative work that goes into a translation.
I spent 90% of my time outside the LLM, in my text editor.
So as a counterpoint to all the comments here, I absolutely see this working. I needed to translate a fairly long work of fiction, and an LLM made my work 10x as fast, since quite obviously my active vocabulary between the two languages differed.
It was much easier and faster to correct the LLM than to write the translation myself. Imagine this replacing workers not like 1 workplace becomes 1 LLM subscription, but more like 10 workplaces become 2 workplaces and an LLM subscription.
It’s explicitly a war crime, whether or not it was “targeted”.
Yes it is, and not because of whether the attacks were targeted.
This is a US West Point essay BTW.
That’s what they want you to think. Otherwise, all the tourists would be taking their shits on Tiktok in this “hidden gem”.
Nobody ever accused voters of being smart. That said, Harris lost a lot of Biden’s 2020 voters, so this is the exact good time to go super critical on her campaign.

So the North Koreans didn’t even send weapons with those troops? Sounds a bit weird, why train the troops with new gear? NK gear should be compatible enough that they can keep them supplied with older Russian ammo, right?
I also don’t think it will be that drastic, but I can totally see the Russians pushing inexperienced North Korean troops in the thick of the fighting.
If there are any significant changes in direction from the election, that should take effect in February next year, right? The current admin could still sign over the whole army to Ukraine next month, even if the Russians got literally all the votes in the current US election.
Yeah, the real difference is that Iron Man did more work in a 3-hour movie than Musk in his whole life.
So on one side I feel they have bigger fish to fry than getting good media, on the other hand this may be something to help UA get closer to EU membership standards.

That is I guess Windows:
Just joking tho, I run Fedora, even lazy people have standards.
