• Text-based language processing enhanced with AI/ML

  On this family summer trip to Asia, I've admittedly been relying heavily on Google Translate. As someone who lives in the world of APIs, that makes me think of "its API,"^ the Google Cloud Translation API. Pure translation, though, is not the same as finding the right words (although they're similar), and that makes me think of natural language understanding (NLU). When considering NLU and NLP (natural language... - Source: dev.to / 10 days ago

• Betula – federated bookmarking software for the independent web

  The word "betula" in Hebrew means "virgin". Was this intentional? I almost spat out my dinner. https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=%D7%91%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%94&op=translate. - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• No "Zero-Shot" Without Exponential Data

  Honestly, these are some of my favorite stories and I think more ML people need to learn more about mythology (I say this as a ML researcher btw). Because once you go down this path you start to understand how "Rino" == "Unicorn". You have to really think about how to explain things when you're working with a limited language.

• The Far Right's Favorite Web Host Has a Shadowy New Owner

  Thanks for correcting me. Apparently, I was too credulous of https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=nl&text=monster&op=translate. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Why are paywalled articles on HN mostly available on an archive link?

  (1) Technically, I think that site works by identifying itself as the Google webcrawler and seeing the full-text version that many sites would like to have indexed. (2) There's the question of why that site isn't taken down (or how it pays its bills) and my guess is this: In the 2000s it was an open secret that you could read the news on most sites like The New York Times with the username and password... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Christmas Day menu ideas

  This pot roast with winter root vegetables (I use rutabaga instead of celery root, but any root veggies are perfect) No sides needed other than bread and/or maybe some noodles. If you want a green vegetable, track down a whole stalk of brussels sprouts and roast them. Recipe is paywalled on epicurious.com and you can no longer paste links from 12 ft ladder, but you can access yourself through it https://12ft.io/. Source: 7 months ago

• Open Thread: Weekend Edition #50 (Dec 2023)
