02:56 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> eh? that's a bug or bad build, I regularly switch to German to test things
03:05 cheapie Air conditioner is bringing in plenty of fresh air: https://cheapiesystems.com/media/2025-12-13%2021-03-02.webm
03:07 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> for the unfamiliar, that texture is built into the engine for when you have air in your inventory
03:43 cheapie Random screenshot of the translation work I was doing on celevator a bit ago: https://cheapiesystems.com/media/images/Screenshot_20251213_213830.png
03:44 cheapie I just did a Spanish locale for now (and probably not a very good one, it's a mix of machine translation and what bits of Spanish I picked up in high school, but good enough for testing)
03:45 cheapie There's a user on VE-C who has offered previously to do a German translation of it, I'll have to see if he still wants to do that
03:46 MTDiscord <wsor4035> ive sometimes wondered since this is open source, doing shitty machine/ai/llm/whatever translations to bait people into making them better. basically the old reddit/stackoverflow/forum thought of post a question, answer it wrong and youll get a bunch of engagement of people telling off the wrong person
03:47 MTDiscord <wsor4035> (answering it wrong with another account)
03:48 cheapie I have to wonder if that bakedclay mod is trying that
03:49 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> people definitely complain about poor l10n, but how much translates (heh) into action I'm not sure. It's not as easy as typing a diatribe on reddit
03:50 cheapie Although the particular way in which the translations in that one suck suggests someone is doing something like S("Black")..S("Baked Clay") in there somewhere
03:50 MTDiscord <wsor4035> im just happy when tenplus1 isnt increamenting the license violation counter, my bar is that low 🤷
03:51 cheapie I mean, they clear a higher bar than that, they at least make some sense if you think about them a bit
03:51 MTDiscord <wsor4035> now yes (hopefully, havent checked in a while), the past no
03:51 cheapie I mean these specific translations, not tenplus1 as a whole
03:52 MTDiscord <wsor4035> ahhh
03:53 MTDiscord <wsor4035> blockhead: fair
03:53 cheapie Like the black baked clay says "Negro Barro Cocido", which reads approximately as "cooked mud black"
03:53 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i kinda want to try it for kicks just to see what happens tho. scientific method and all
03:54 MTDiscord <wsor4035> course im not sure how you would measure to make sure you actually have a trash translation vs somehow a good or good enough one that no one bothers
03:54 * cheapie gives wsor4035 a pile of rejected machine translations from celevator to use, things like "car status" but with "car" as in "automobile"
03:54 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> altman et. al. have already unleashed enough experiments on us. The LLM has definitely changed the way we speak – or punctuate..
03:55 user333_ an LLM's favorite character: –
03:55 MTDiscord <wsor4035> course the latter would be kinda ideal as a base line/init if it works - then can be usable to people who dont know English and doable by people who dont know other langauges
03:55 mrcheese user333_: yea lol
03:56 MTDiscord <wsor4035> before someone runs off the deep end, not proposing the shit Mozilla is doing, just for init
03:57 MTDiscord <wsor4035> (at least as far as i understand, they are overwriting human translations, etc)
03:57 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> when you use firefox ESR like us debian tortoises, you tend to forget about mozilla until the next ESR lifecycle
03:58 MTDiscord <wsor4035> iirc this is there web? documentation? so the ancient software you use isnt relevant? (citation needed)
03:58 MTDiscord <wsor4035> now i must check
03:59 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> oh the MDN machine translated? ehhhh
03:59 user333_ is there any good browser nowadays? chrome/chromium are too google-d, edge is too microsoft-ed
03:59 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i wouldnt recommend it, but im rooting for servo to go places
03:59 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> no, not even one. They're all either too popular or not popular enough; too bleeding edge or don't have the features
04:00 user333_ make your own ig \_('_')_/
04:00 MTDiscord <wsor4035> > Japanese support articles https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/articles/mozilla-faces-backlash-introducing-ai-154356642.html
04:00 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> and you're also going to get fingerprinted one way or another
04:00 MTDiscord <wsor4035> so not mdn, firefox? support articles i guess
04:01 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> ah, look, giving the bots unfettered push access. What could go wrong?
04:01 user333_ (a lot)
04:02 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> fetters are exactly what the bots need
04:02 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> there's your vocabulary for the day
04:02 MTDiscord <wsor4035> always maintain that ai/llm is a useful tool, used in moderation/by a skilled human its useful. its not a hammer where everything becomes a nail
04:04 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> ai: so advanced it can replace your annoying co-workers who push without review
04:04 MTDiscord <wsor4035> lel
04:04 MTDiscord <wsor4035> depending on your coworkers it might produce better code than them 😛
04:05 user333_ or worse, depending on the model
04:05 MTDiscord <wsor4035> practicality, ruining the implication. but not wrong
04:06 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> back in the bad old days, I remember my mate was using GPT-3. He'd start a greentext and the model would finish it
04:06 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> actually must have been GPT-2, pre Chat
04:07 user333_ back when LLMs though people had 6 fingers
04:07 MTDiscord <wsor4035> only thing so far that i "trust" ai enough to just rip on is tests. mostly since its guardrailed into the test framework and my existing code
04:07 MTDiscord <wsor4035> course i still review its output, first step being do they pass lol (and if not, is there a valid reason)
