venkii commented on Show HN: Martial Lint – improve Chinese Wuxia novel translations with LLMs   github.com/venkr/martial-... · Posted by u/venkii

OP here. I read a lot of Wuxia novels, some of them are well translated, and I usually end up giving up on the poorly translated ones.

I tried a few models (Gemini-2.5, Gemini-3.0-pro, Claude Opus 4.5), and found that they all improved the quality quite noticeably, even without being provided the source. The trick was mostly asking them to be super conservative in the changes they made.

This is in line with what I've heard a few times before. It's like self induced psychosis sometimes.

Anyway, your whole world being inside your mind is self-evident to me. That is what the superego is, partly. An integrity model/simulacrum of the outside world. We have it so we can run simulations and outcomes without actually being 'reported' and judged in reality.

Anyway, i thought it is interesting. My theory is that psychedelics allow us to update these integrity models which usually maintains its integrity by being outside of our control. Since it's usually lagging behind our developing worldview and needs.
