AI does not assist translation - it hinders it. And it certainly can't shorten turnarounds from 5-6 months to 2 (!!) in a way that does not involve crunch, peanuts, awful quality, or all of the above.

Readers, when companies reply to questions about AI in translations with "nooo, we're only using it to HELP translators," you're being played!

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Ya la he visto con mis padres (que son veterinarios) y me gustó 😁

Alguien me puede recomendar series en español dónde los personajes hacen OTRAS COSAS que simplemente follar todos los cinco minutos?
Si es algo bastante feel good o con lesbianas aún mejor

Y a une recommandation de la mission parlementaire sur la sécurité des musées qui préconise que les flics et les gendarmes y ait accès gratuitement a condition d'être armés...

Après les trains, les musées.

C'est lunaire. ET DANGEREUX.

Hey so this is important. Amazon is removing ALL erotica and new queer books from its Amazon associates program, which seems to be a first step towards delisting these books a la itchio.

This includes my book, your books, and the books you like to buy.

This is bad news, and we can expect worse

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Ça serait bien de par exemple penser à faire un plan de jouvence technologique sobre (des machines moins puissantes, mais avec des logiciels/sites moins gourmands, plus durables, des architectures open source etc) mais ça n'arrivera jamais.

Disney+ va a volver a subir la cuota de suscripción alegando que es para “seguir ofreciendo entretenimiento de PRIMERA categoría”. Mientras tanto, a sus traductores les bajan la tarifa y les obligan a poseditar algunos títulos (cada vez más). Se ve que lo de “primera” tiene matices, claro.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

It will never cease to infuriate me that they made a fucking advanced logic algorithm computer thing THAT CAN'T FUCKING DO MATH. THIS ISN'T EVEN THE MATH IT CAN'T DO, THIS IS COUNTING. I COULD MAKE A PROGRAM THAT COULD COUNT TO 100 WHEN I WAS 7.

Update: end of day 5, and we’re so close to being funded! 83% of the way there, 169 (nice) backers, I can almost smell the new book smell coming from the zine… thank you all so much!

Totally unfair criticism!

Ireland’s basic income for the arts scheme becomes permanent When piloted, initiative that provided €325 a week to eligible artists recouped more than its net cost, study shows

"The scheme recouped more than its net cost of €72m through increases in arts-related expenditure, productivity gains and reduced reliance on other welfare payments, according to a government-commissioned cost-benefit analysis."

Empower the arts ✊

Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?
