Sad I can't read Italian. I would like to know how the original non-translated version is like.


An easy method these days is to get any frontier AI model to translate it for you.

I've stopped relying on third-party translations because it's common for people to editorialise or miss subtleties, especially in social media... but even professional journalists.


Your solution to "I would like to know how the original non-translated version is like." is to recommend translation software?

And the idea of disregarding professional translations in favor of LLMs for quality reasons is breathtakingly...something. Arrogant? Naive?


To be fair to GP, while I agree that literary translations are still much better left to professional translators, the specific examples actually given have recently been moving in the opposite direction in my experience - at least for translations from English. In my own language, I've seen articles published in translation under license, on major local news sites, including mis-translations as ridiculous as "1000 lb bombs" translated as "1000 £ bombs" ("bombe de 1000 de lire").


News sites are extremely cash strapped, I bet it's all automatic translation, maybe with the exception of a few important articles, and it has been even before LLMs.

On my local news sites I still see crap like english word order but Romanian words on filler articles, which means it wasn't even a LLM.


During the Ukraine war I saw many Russian or Ukrainian language articles or whatever translated with just Google Translate and it was a hopeless jumble of errors.

Even GPT 4 was massively better.

Some people just don’t understand how general purpose these chat bots are and insist on continuing to use single purpose tools that have been left in the dust.


Dude, you should know on here the answer the every question, including the meaning of life, these days is AI.


If you want a verbatim translation of a piece of foreign language text where your problem is specifically that human authors are editorialising their translations… then yes, AI is the solution.

And another +1


All these positive reviews really makes me wonder. Maby I should use Mise. The creator looks like he's really in it. Starting it now might be a good option.


Yeah I could too(not know though...). Trying to sleep, and knowing your parents are watching TV in the living room few doors away isn't the best experience.


It works some time. The problem is that you need it to actually search what you want, and it just ignores it every now and then.


"destroyed the shareware model". You know that they only sell games, and just have the games that they made in the list too(them just being amazing and popular). It's not some easy task as recovering old systems when there are every type of games imaginable. Even if valve made a option to do that, no one will since other companies don't do anything like that.


Side effect: All your cards look cool.


My Japanese morphling was the peak of my magic career. It did feel kind of bad when playing a random 12 year old that didn’t know what it did.


I can agree that CSS is really unpredictable. However ,not being able to put CSS in a file isn't a small change. It makes other people to read the code harder, and mixing css and js just doesn't feel right. But just to keep my self safe, I know how people reacted to react at first. This might be normal in the future. Maybe.


Exactly. And we won't find out if we don't try. Also, specifically, this approach is more JSON-based (compared to other CSS-in-JS). So you can easily put styles into a separate file if you want, JS or JSON. But I prefer defining styled components in a separate file, as `styled-components` recommends.


I agree. Even if it is a little pain to read, it's still an information worth knowing and an actual humans opinion(at least I hope). There's no reason to be skeptical if it isn't a famous news site or something.


I will love to use it. Will all keyboards with linux compatibility work?


I guess so, I have tested in Fedora. As long as they expose a System API for increasing and decreasing brightness
