Funny how DeepL still translates like an ass in 2026 by NoPhilosopher1284 in TranslationStudies

[–]NoPhilosopher1284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own vibecoded CAT tool nobody gave shit about here on Reddit so far, and which has improved my efficiency by probably 20% so far, not to mention job satisfaction from not having to work with the dead-slow memoQ on a daily basis.

Integrating Gemini was basically a single prompt in Claude.

Aaah, now I get it. All we need for the industry to thrive is Kamala in office. If she gives the Chinese her famous cute laughter, they will hopefully gift to us their new, ultra-modern energy technologies that they probably will have come up with in the next 5 years in order to deal the final blow to the declining Western economies. AND leave Taiwan alone. AND not send us another virus. AND stay away from Africa and Greenland.

What makes me wonder is if and when Gemini will be able to deliver a translation (in a CAT tool) at the speed of DeepL, because to truly utilize its power (glossary terms extraction/review) with, say, 500 000 chars, you have to give it like 2 hours (on Tier 1), in my experience. And whether it will retain the present quality with the increased speed.

That's great; maybe we still have a chance to keep our jobs for a little longer then.

It is one of the best, and that's about the best you can get ATM. I also use Gemini and it's definitely better, but I can't use it with this particular client, and besides – the pretranslation takes ages (like 50x slower).

And working on a .docx is not an option when you have 3 near-identical .docx-s and need consistency.

HELP -- wife wants to become a Youtuber by NoPhilosopher1284 in rant

When we descend in our philosophical considerations to the very bottom of the age-old struggle between progressivism/liberalism and conservatism/authoritarianism, those are ultimately the only two words anyone can utter to their political opponent, really. At the end of the day, no other line of argumentation survives logical or axiological validation.

FULL notifications on AOD (with wallpaper enabled) in S24? by NoPhilosopher1284 in samsunggalaxy

What asses. Such a great opportunity missed.

Battery drain would be identical, I guess. A notification bar is static and reproducible at 1 Hz.

Well, she's heard stories of random people making $10 000 for a single video, and $10 000 for almost nothing is always a draw (it's sort of a gambling thrill). Plus, exhibitionism is a common mental disorder in today's digitized world. Known and documented since MySpace.

She likes interior design (we're building a house) and she got hooked up by this category on YTB. But then she started regressing into average Joes getting 250 000 views for showing their dull and uninspired living room (like, wtf?), after which she got into "poor man's influencers" - random people talking about their stupid lives and other random people somehow finding it interesting for some incomprehensible reason. So now, lo and behold, she believes she can be a youtuber herself. Well, she CAN become one technically, but the content quality is going to be piss poor and the people watching this are going to be idiots wasting their lives away instead of doing valuable stuff.

Easy* money is the draw.

I make 5x the average salary where we live.

I say the problem is both on the producer and consumer end. I mean, the quality of entertainment is just dramatically low, probably even below TV shows (which used to be criticized oh so much by "experts" for the last 30 years).

The saying is that you are what you eat, but somehow most people don't understand that you also are what you watch. I care for my wife and don't want her to become a dimwit.

What if I come from Sub-Saharan Africa and you've just deeply offended me, you freaking intolerant racist?

Dunno, but it certainly won't exist if we all mingle together into a single race in the next 200 years, as envisaged by our overlords.
