I wrote a Telegram bot for video/image translation, and also Firefox/Chrome addons to help translate web content with smart content extraction and non-breaking layouts.

Check it out at: https://addons.subly.xyz & https://subly.xyz

The Firefox addon/Chrome extension is free, but you need your own OpenRouter/Gemini API key. The cost of web translation is really low, you can translate an article for ~$0.01 with really good quality. (You can try at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/subly-xyz/)

I built it because I use Firefox the most and it seemed like no translate addon was good or simple enough. Chrome translate kinda works, but the quality is so low; it usually doesn't understand the article context.

Am I using a different Gemini from everyone else? We have Google Workspace at my job, so Gemini is baked in.

It is HORRENDOUS when compared to other models.

I hear a bunch of other people talking about how great Gemini is, but I've never seen it.

The responses are usually either incorrect, way too long, (essays when I wanted summaries) or just...not...good. I will ask the exact same question to both Gemini and ChatGPT (free) and GPT will give a great answer while the Gemini answer is trash.

Am I missing something?

Maybe you are using it wrong.

I think MCP is awesome, mainly because it forces devs to design the simplest possible tools/APIs/functions so even an average-performance LLM can use them correctly to get things done.

As developers, we often want everything to be rich, verbose, and customizable — but the reality is that for most users (and now for AIs acting on their behalf), simplicity wins every time. It’s like designing a great UI: the fewer ways you can get lost, the more people (or models) can actually use it productively.

If MCP ends up nudging the ecosystem toward small, well-defined, composable capabilities, that’s a win far beyond just “AI integration.”

The article mentions Cloudflare, so how much of this was cached by them?

It's very interesting to note that you can build and maintain meta web framework like RoR with Ruby, Django and even D language.

Go and Rust are amazing languages, but why can’t they produce a Rails-like framework?

Is it just a matter of time before Go/Rust create a Rails-like framework, or is something fundamental preventing it?

Perhaps this article by Patrick Li (author of Stanza language) has the answers [1].

I would love to see RoR/Django but in Julia. Performance and easy to read code.

I tried one of their "distill" versions on HF Spaces: https://huggingface.co/spaces/Aratako/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qw.... It seems to suffer from the same old repetition and overthinking problems. Using the classic strawberry sniff test:

... Wait, did I count correctly? Let me recount. The word is S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. So positions 3, 8, and 9 are 'R's. That makes three 'R's in total. But I'm a bit confused because when I first wrote it out, I thought maybe only two. Let me double-check. Maybe I miscounted the letters.

Alternatively, perhaps the word doesn't have three 'R's. Let me write it again: S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. So, after E, there are two R's before Y. So that would be two R's, right? Wait, no, in the breakdown, position 3 is R, then position 8 and 9 are R's. So that's three R's. But I'm not sure if that's correct because sometimes people might miscount. ...

When I ran the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B-Q4_0.ggu[1] version in Ollama, it got the strawberry test right, but when I paste that same question to OpenWebUI, it got wrong as you got here.

Where is the privacy policy, and who are you sharing the submitted data with?
do_anh_tu · 2 years ago
This is a simple project where no data is saved. It solely relies on the ChatGPT API backend and Google Analytics for measuring purposes. That's all.

Because they are using ChatGPT. So ChatGPT quality go down => Copilot quality go down too. Too much censored.
