What about preserving languages that are close to extinct, but still have language data available? Can LLMs help in this case?


Sadly, I can't seem to find the full, non paywalled version of the article ._.

While whether LLMs are intelligent or not is still hotly debated. I think the author’s thoughts are very interesting.

This is crazy to me. You can read in a stream of meaningless numbers (tokens) and incidentally build a reasonably accurate model of the real things those tokens represent.

The implications are vast. We may be able to translate between languages that have never had a “Rosetta Stone”. Any animals that have a true language could have it decoded. And while an LLM that’s gotten an 8 year old’s understanding of balancing assorted items isn’t that useful, an LLM that’s got a baby whale’s grasp on whale language would be revolutionary.






The article is predicting that smartphones and movie cameras might adopt this.


Now you can focus on anything while giving up nothing, with simple, cheap optics

Firefox Fullpage Translation (on-device)
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/5698702 >Firefox has added a new built-in full page translation feature that allows you to seamlessly browse the web in your preferred language. As you navigate the site, Firefox continuously translates new content in real time. This feature will be rolled out gradually and should be available for all users starting in Firefox version 118. > >Note: Unlike other browsers that rely on cloud services, Firefox keeps your data safe on your device. There's no privacy risk of sending text to third parties for analysis because translation happens on your device, not externally.

They now offer unlimited searches for $10/month.


There’s the 5$/month option available if you don’t search more than 300 times a month.







I wonder if they can sue against these time-wasting takedown companies. At least bill them by the man-hour or something.



Another great alternative to Reddit. It’s also a non-profit.






Used thinkpads (like the T480) are a great choice.

I use Manjaro Cinnamon on mine.


The biggest problem is if Google can influence all the major websites (banks, e-commerce, news sites, streaming services, social media, etc) to adopt this standard.

They’ve done it before with AMP.










Well, it’s a remake of an old RPG game.

A really good RPG game though, IMO.


True, and many people probably overestimate how many Netflix subscribers are going back to pirating movies/tv series.
