jotjotzzz commented on Ask HN: How do you handle small translations?    · Posted by u/gethly

Machine-created translations are bad. They've become better over time, but they're still bad. If you've ever tried having your native language butchered in the way that machine-created translations butcher my native language on the daily, you'd understand why. I suspect a lot of the push for machine translations comes from monolingual developers in Silicon Valley.

I think it does it reasonably well for some major languages. What languages are you referring to here?

Don't be afraid. Although we are constantly bombarded with negative news about the economy, politics, and various alarming issues under the sun, the future is bright.

Throughout history, we have faced significant shifts, from the Industrial Revolution and the rise of communism to advances in technology and the internet, all of which have sparked similar concerns. Trade imbalances are a regular occurrence and will always happen. The key reason for these changes is a shift in the global currency,' particularly the petrodollar. Our current world operates within a corrupt fiat economy based on dishonest currency, which keeps governments and nations perpetually in debt, allowing the system to continue functioning. The current old way of currency manipulation is collapsing before our very eyes, and many people miss that it's not just about trade; it's fundamentally about a transition from dishonest "money" — currency that can be easily manipulated and printed — to a form of currency that organizations like the Federal Reserve or any other dubious institutions cannot control. Mike Maloney has a series on money that everyone should watch. We are witnessing the collapse of the current currency system -- to perhaps money backed by something real or maybe no money at all.

Ban any corporations or companies from making a page on it, only real people. Vet everyone and no AI bots. Kick out and ban people who are not good with the community. Just like any community, have people vouch for each other. No promoting, no ads.

What you perceive as noise is multi-dimensional data that appears chaotic from your perspective. It's possible that we are living in multi-layered "simulations" created by [..]. There may not be such a thing as entropy or a resistance to it, since that entity is likely consciousness itself. Consciousness is essential for both creating and interpreting information. We are part consciousness (at least some of us, some are just pure data/information, they are like NPCs or 'background people' as Dolores Cannon calls them).

I feel the same way! I left corporate and chose a non-profit where the mission aligns with doing something good. I suggest you do the same. You may not get paid as well, but if you choose carefully, some could pay decently. But at least you can wake up every morning and feel good that you're contributing to something good, not lining up $$ for corporate greed!
jotjotzzz commented on Ask HN: What career will you switch to when AI replaces developers?    · Posted by u/DGAP
jotjotzzz · 4 months ago
AI will create more jobs as it replaces tedious ones. There will always be more innovation and work, so don't worry! This is the same fear as the Internet age back in the days replacing stores, TV, media, etc. We will always continue to improve, and nothing stays stagnant -- there's always something new to discover.
jotjotzzz commented on Ask HN: Does Duolingo Work?    · Posted by u/robertkoss

I guess it works for remembering and retaining words. But Duolingo will not get you there if you expect to converse with someone! Language acquisition requires more than just rote memorization; it's also training your ears for actual native persons speaking the language and talking with them!
jotjotzzz commented on Mysterious New Jersey drone sightings prompt call for 'state of emergency'   theguardian.com/us-news/2... · Posted by u/anigbrowl

Based on all the sightings and someone flying a drone next to these things, the size of these "drones" is much bigger, like the size of a car! Additionally, drones can hover for less than an hour. These "drones" stay floated for many hours on end!

These should be called UFOs, not drones. The light on them and their shape make them look like regular drones, but I think these crafts are much more than the regular drones that the media has called them.
