Some of my clients use the LLM to do QA on my translations, dunno about English, but for smaller languages (think less than 10M speakers) LLM still ain't that good, at least 5-10% LLM suggestions contain hallucinated made-up words which don't even exist.

I can see LLM usable for long paragraphs of text, legal documents, maybe even books if you don't care about artistic quality, but good luck translating software/UI with short strings with hardly any description/screenshots even human has trouble to figure out let alone dumb intelligence.

I already told one of my clients who work for one of the major Chinese companies I can't guarantee quality of translation if they don't provide me variables description and all screenshots are in Chinese, so basically you are blind whether you are translating button, toast with instruction for user or page title, but seems client doesn't care...

Nowadays I don't even bother explaining why are AI reports wrong, it would be huge waste of my time, if 99% are FP.


it is much easier just to set up accessibility color filter and then toggle greyscale mode with Winkey+Ctrl+C and you can keep using your apps without installing anything

How to switch on/off your computer with Windows 10/11 to greyscale mode

1. Press Windows Key + U to open the Accessibility/Ease of Access menu.

2. Click on Color filters on the left pane.

3. Toggle the Turn on color filters switch to On.

4. Select Grayscale from the list of options. (should be preselected by default)

5. Now you can switch on/off greyscale mode anywhere with Windows key+Ctrl+C shortcut.

Now? There is reason why United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

It's their policy for decades. There is no bigger threat for world peace than US (and maybe Israel).


Not maybe. Israel is the whole reason the USA is losing its mind (and its war) in Iran right now.

I don't think Israel was reason for Iraq invasion, Serbia bombing or kidnapping Venezuelan president and many other US attacks on other countries.

Not fully, but it was a goal of Netanyahu/Israel to destroy Iraq, as they do for Iran. Netanyahu was there in congress to testify (lie) about weapons of mass destruction as the US attacked Iraq.

By defending ourselves you mean defending my own family or being some pawn in politicians game dying for their wishes?

I am willing to defend my family.

I am certainly not even willing to defend ANY country just because local politicians are afraid of incoming new management, no matter whether it's my home country or country where I currently reside, I have no allegiance to any country, only to my family. Sadly majority of people are brainwashed, if there were more people like me there would be zero wars, just local crimes.


The history of not defending against incoming new management is not good for zero wars - google Sudetenland for example. If you want zero wars you're probably better being like Switzerland - defend your own country but don't go fighting abroad.

Incoming new management works only because some willing to fight for greater good, safety... whatever establishment propagate.

Not sure why you mention Sudetland?


It was an area they let Hitler effectively occupy without going to war. The Donetsk People's Republic of its day. Not fighting over that only delayed the main war a little.

Fighting over that might kill my grandparents.

Yup, they still haven't run out of those washing machine chips they use, Russia must be washing machine superpower.

...at least if you believe EU/UA propaganda.

It's funny how they yesterday or day before yesterday annouced 21st round of Russian sanctions.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

Imagine you are so dumb, you do it 21 times and expect voters will take yous eriously and keep supporting if they paid it 21 times from their own wallets.


> Of course, note that Orban _lost_.

...to a former member of his party Magyar, who was his colleague 2 years ago in 2024. It's amusing how some people see Magyar as some big change coming to Hungary after Orban.

I don't think anyone genuinely likes Russia, it's more about stop pretending we suddenly like Ukraine, you know you can dislike them both at same time, right?


He seems not to be a Russian asset. That’s a big change.

Magyar is a big change. It's down to not being an Putin employee.

any country should see any other country as rival, no matter whether it is Ukraine, US, China, Germany or Uganda, it is just common sense, you dont need any propaganda for that, especially considering cheap unregulated UA products flooding European markets destroying farmers livelihood while EU farmers have to obey much stricter standard and are then unable to compete on price without subsidies (just to be clear I would prefer to abolish all subsidies)
