MAKE IT A FRIGGIN' TREE DAMMIT

Worse than node is its abomination of a dependency and library management.

I understand regular expressions better than any npm message about a version conflict.

Flecktarn und Uniform sind so ziemlich das Gegenteil von persönlichem, individuellen Ausdruck, wofür das Chaos steht.

Nachdem die Kritik von Betroffenen an der Wehrpflicht sowohl in Talkshows als auch auf der Straße teilweise gewaltsam unterdrückt wurde, steht die Aufrüstung Deutschlands und ihre Vorzeichen - wie üblich! - den Werten des Chaos auch so weit entgegen, dass eine kritische Reflektion der eigenen Mode angebracht ist.

Die Veganer schaffen das bei Leder und Pelz ja auch.

I'm writing this in English.

Not because English is my first language—it isn't. I'm writing this in English because if I wrote it in Korean, the people I'm addressing would run it through an outdated translator, misread it, and respond to something I never said. The responsibility for that mistranslation would fall on me. It always does.

This is the thing Eugen Rochko's post misses, despite its good intentions.

@Gargron argues that LLMs are no substitute for human translators, and that people who think otherwise don't actually rely on translation. He's right about some of this. A machine-translated novel is not the same as one rendered by a skilled human translator. But the argument rests on a premise that only makes sense from a certain position: that translation is primarily about quality, about the aesthetic experience of reading literature in another language.

For many of us, translation is first about access.

The professional translation market doesn't scale to cover everything. It never has. What gets translated—and into which languages—follows the logic of cultural hegemony. Works from dominant Western languages flow outward, translated into everything. Works from East Asian languages trickle in, selectively, slowly, on someone else's schedule. The asymmetry isn't incidental; it's structural.

@Gargron notes, fairly, that machine translation existed decades before LLMs. But this is only half the story, and which half matters depends entirely on which languages you're talking about. European language pairs were reasonably serviceable with older tools. Korean–English, Japanese–English, Chinese–English? Genuinely usable translation for these pairs arrived with the LLM era. Treating “machine translation” as a monolithic technology with a uniform history erases the experience of everyone whose language sits far from the Indo-European center.

There's also something uncomfortable in the framing of the button-press thought experiment: “I would erase LLMs even if it took machine translation with it.” For someone whose language has always been peripheral, that button looks very different. It's not an abstract philosophical position; it's a statement about whose access to information is expendable.

I want to be clear: none of this is an argument that LLMs are good, or that the harms @Gargron describes aren't real. They are. But a critique of AI doesn't become more universal by ignoring whose languages have always been on the margins. If anything, a serious critique of AI's political economy should be more attentive to those asymmetries, not less.

The fact that I'm writing this in English, carefully, so it won't be misread—that's not incidental to my argument. That is my argument.

Der letzte Satz des Zauberberg von Thomas Mann, geschrieben vor etwas über 100 Jahren, könnte auch von heute sein.

Wird auch aus diesem Weltfest des Todes auch aus der schlimmen Fieberbrunst die rings den regnerischen Abendhimmel entzündet einmal die Liebe steigen?

Eine Admine hat's gemerkt. Danke dir! 🫶

Ich unterstelle einfach, dass es eine Frau gewesen sein muss, denn von den überzähligen Herren in diesem Club erwarte ich nicht mehr Kompetenz als meine Enttäuschung noch verkraften kann.

die Dummheit der Wikipedia-Admins erreicht inzwischen die Hauptseite

Für die "Opernsänferin" hätte ich dann auch gerne Belege gesehen. Die Verstorbene kam aus der Region, wo es auch Bautz'ner gibt, und die wissen nichts über Opernsenf und wer ihn herstellt.

Tja!

Can we talk - just for a moment - about how teenagers are prosecuted for filesharing,

while Big Tech would rob, infringe and disregard intellectual property by the billion to feed its gigantic AI kraken and make it a marketable software product with no fear of prosecution at all?

This is not the rule of law. This is the rule of power. And the power is money.

Von euren Gebühren.

On one hand, companies are doing less entry level hiring due to AI which reduces the influx of new ideas and kills the pipeline of senior talent. On the other hand…

I propose every software sold as "artificial intelligence", especially the AGI and super-intelligence kind, to pass the Malbolge Test.

The task is to program a calculator in Malbolge.

Malbolge is the hardest turing-complete programming language ever, and human mind only managed to write two programs in that language.

Writing a calculator in that language requires intelligence beyond human capacity.

To be a super-intelligence, your product has to pass the test.
