Literal translations often have that problem, and even human translators need context.

The initial comment looked like there wasn't any context, which means "mega" could just as easily mean «SI million prefix» as «huge».

In written English, the word "minute" in isolation and without context may be the noun for the time period of 60 seconds, or it may be the adjective «very small».
To be clear, while I believe focusing on high school has a negative impact on diversity, I don't think this is intentional on Canonical's part.

Also I should say the overall recruitment process works, I was not the right candidate for the job, and the job wasn't right for me. But I think there were much stronger signals pointing to that during the process than what I did during high school.
For context, this is the worldwide stats that Google reports:

Ultra and hyper mean basically the same (over, beyond), but since Greek culture flourished before Roman culture, I'd say that hyper should come before ultra.

(And do you think that coming up with all this kilo / mega / giga / tera / peta / exa set of prefixes, and deciding their order, was easy?)
Dictionary.com has:

2. an abrupt snapping motion or change of direction resembling the lash of a whip.

6. to affect adversely, as by a sudden change: new taxes whiplashing corporate earnings.

Which is pretty accurate. Have you ever been on a roller coaster or similar ride at a theme park and been suddenly jerked in the opposite direction? That's basically what whiplash is.

> Is the 'millionaire dream' still an impossible feat for most? And if having a good startup can't guarantee it, what could?

Having a net worth over a million dollars is completely normal for middle-aged professionals, at least in the developed world: in the US it puts you at about the 90th percentile. Having a million in liquid assets is much rarer, but still easily attainable on a FAANG salary.

Taiwan is its own country. India has a similar population to China. Why not just translate into Urdu or Tamil instead, by that logic?
> But you did agree, by choosing them as a shipper.

The contracts are between the seller and the shipping company, and between the buyer and the seller. There's no contract between the buyer and the shipping company. And in this case where parcels are being randomly sent to an address un-asked-for, that is most definitely the case.
If I recall correctly, there were some TRACE or DEBUG logs one could turn on that would - amid a ton of unhelpful output - also emit logs when the JIT was doing its thing. Then, while running a small reproducer app and combing through the output, we noticed values were always correct before the JIT ran, then when the JIT started to kick in, we had a transition period where sometimes wrong values started to crop up (I assume until all threads had switched to the optimized code), and then always produce the wrong result.

This gave me a hunch that it could be related to JIT, and then I tried completely turning it off, which caused the issue to disappear.
Thanks. So essentially the site is saying that Google Translate outputs what I'd call (for simplicity) Taiwanese/Hong Hongese with a foreigner's "accent" (but in writing)? It sounds odd to me. If China doesn't speak Traditional Chinese, why would GTranslate output text with China's usage patterns

To clarify, "Standard Chinese" is the English term to describe the official language of the PRC. There is no country called "mainland," nor is there a country called "mainland China," nor is there a language that can be accurately called "Chinese."

It's much more clear in Mandarin itself, such as 官話. Note that some might translate this as "Traditional Chinese," separate from the typical meaning, when trying to separate "simplified characters" from "traditional characters." In English it's all a mess.

Also, you can write guanhua or beifanghua or "Standard Chinese" in both Simplified and Traditional charactersets. They are almost 1:1. You also used to be able to write Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, and other languages in Traditional Chinese characters.

That's why we should be careful to separate Guanhua ("Standard Chinese") from Taiwanese Mandarin and etc. imo using the word "Chinese" in the descriptor just sows further confusion and in fact furthers the political goals of the CPC to cast a political blanket over all things even remotely descriptive as "Chinese," be they language, culture, race, heritage, or nationality.
Judging only by your comments, I might be tempted to agree. But your parents didn't have a crystal ball at the time they conceived you, so I disagree.

I don't think the downvotes are fully justified and I think it's a valid point to make. Taiwan itself for example for the longest time had an extremely unintuitive local pinyin version. They are at least no longer as strict in enforcing it versus the now official one that came from the Mainland. It is sometimes the cause for going the wrong place in Uber trips.

However, it is worth noting that there was basically an iron curtain between China and Taiwan for a long time after Chiang Kai-shek went there. A lot of IT terminology for example developed separately in Taiwan and China, so a lot of technical terms are different. The following website lets you look up scientific terms and convert them between china mainland and taiwenese.

What makes you call one of those abstractions unhealthy, and the other (presumably) healthy?

IOW, why do you feel one is more valid than the other? To me, they are either both equally valid or equally invalid.
You limit builders by forcing anything they build to hold an alpha/beta/preview label, where it doesn't graduate to having the full backing of the company if maintainers can't fill in the rest of what's necessary for long-term maintenance. The incentives revolve around how many "builder" projects eventually end up losing the alpha/beta/preview label and how long it took to lose the label.
I'd rather all interview processes were like one of those funny Japanese game shows, rather than the dehumanisingly dull whiteboard interviee.

I also do this with translations between Swedish, Danish and English.

I find it fascinating that chatGPT is better at translating (a lot better) than a tool specifically built for it, when (if I understand correctly) chatGPT was in no way designed to translate, and is only in some way predicting text, one word at a time.

How come google hasn't leveraged better existing tech to make the translations better? Is it too computationally expensive?

One SEO expert who consulted for a bank I worked at wanted us to change our URLs from e.g. /products/savings-accounts/apply by reversing them to /apply/savings-accounts/products on the grounds that the most specific thing about the page must be as close to the domain name as possible, according to them. I actually went ahead and changed our CMS to implement this (because I was told to). I'm sure the SEO expert got paid a lot more than I did as a dev. A sad day in my career. I left the company not long after...
I honestly think the company being too dysfunctional to be aware of her behavior is more likely than her being a productive employee for more than a decade and then deciding to do no work.
Don't think they did it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Adobe and partially Microsoft were the only things keeping Apple alive in the early to late 90s.

Apple was cornered in the creative market, and even slowly failing at that. Antagonizing Adobe could have meant them pulling out of the Mac market and probably bankrupting Apple.

Microsoft had a deal to keep Office running on Macs, I think they got cash and Apple shares.

So some totally subjective opinions from a point of view of job privilege (works indoors no heavy lifting)

- Working with a team that was all co-located has in my experience been the most powerful indicator of productivity. Additional power points for same physical room, clear business need and clear support for work, high levels of trust from executive level.

- post pandemic, it's rare the whole team is ever in same physical location (ie getting everyone to
go for lunch). Additional power losses are "if everyone is WFH why not build teams from people in different cities / countries.

- worse is overload of meetings - because less informal information sharing we need to organise a time to video call / phone, and then because more people on call you cannot be less formal and need to be careful with what you say so that hard stuff is harder to get around to discussing.

plus sometimes it's nice to leave your house and the washing behind. (privilege again I know)

There is subtyping.

A more practical (though not necessarily realistic) example might be:

sealed interface List<T> permits Cons<T>, None<T> {
record Cons<T>(T head, List<T> tail) {}
record None<T>() {}
}

// some function only wanting the first elem of a list
switch (List<T> list) {
case Cons<>(T head, var tail) -> // do something
default -> {}
}

If you have used Haskell or similarly strongly typed FP language, you can see how great pattern matching can be.
>Google Translate has not been accurately translating into Traditional Chinese (as used in Taiwan) for a while now. A lot of times the translation would sound like how Chinese is used in China instead.

Isn't Taiwan a part of China, though? I am not trying to justify Google not caring about Traditional Chinese as used in Taiwan. I am merely commenting as the author's view of China and Taiwan as two different entities while almost all countries don't recognize Taiwan as a separate entity.

What did you expect of homo sapiens sapiens?
"Traditional characters" and "Simplified characters" are writing systems, not languages. You can write many variants of Chinese with either system.

Traditional characters are still used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, while simplified characters are standard on the mainland and in Singapore. However, traditional characters are still used in some niche cases on the mainland (such as decorations, names of shops and restaurants).

Whether a translation to "Traditional characters" should default to Taiwanese-flavored Mandarin is an open question.
If it weren't controversial, there weren't as many alternative "theories". This is what the term controversial means. It is no valuation about the probability of evolution being correct or of the existence of any other sensible model.

> Evolution is completely uncontroversial.

Perhaps it should be uncontroversial is what you mean, but it certainly isn't, which makes that statement wrong.
Please read the rest of the comment. I was assuming that what is called "Traditional Chinese" is used in China, based on its name (Chinese) and that GTranslate outputs it. Urdu and Tamil aren't spoken in China and isn't what GTranslate outputs when you select a Chinese language, afaik
In some ways gig work can provide a level autonomy not normally available to the people taking gig work, sure, but it doesn't change the fact that gig workers are exploited, and that's bad.

If the alternative is more degrading forms of labor, with businesses sneaking around full time protections by only giving people 30 hours of work, and paying an absurdly low minimum wage, that's hardly an indictment of the idea of strong labor protections - quite the opposite. Why did you bring up socialism? Are you saying capitalism can't provide good labor conditions and we need socialism to do so? Extremely based take.

TLDR: App that allows you to put chlorine gas ingredients into a cart and creates a recipe from a the ingredients. creates recipe for chlorine gas.. AI is bad.

We are squarely in the witch hunt phase of the hype cycle now but it’s understandable- If I put a circular saw into a playground, I am held accountable, if I release an App that allows accidental creation of chlorine gas when a mentally challenged person decides to ask for that I probably should be accountable too ;) /s

In all seriousness: I put a blade into a children’s toy, screaming at the blade manufacturer is not what we do. We punish the toy developer.

It’s time for some accountability in software development, not discussing if we should give the license to all blade sales to a handful of companies because they promise to reduce the risk by making them all dull.
Yes, it's the literal origin of the term, but not the way you've posited.

The term came out of the Protestant Reformation. Within some schools of Protestantism, followers of Scotism were viewed as being slavish to Fund Scotis's teachings and thus too stupid to think for themselves. It was originally an anti-Catholic insult.

And no, Taiwan is not a part of China (China says it is, but that's China...).
This loop happened all the time for me in Kiwi Browser on mobile. I have a couple of fingerprint-reducing extensions installed there. I also use other extensions like Dark Reader to make website backgrounds pitch black to reduce OLED display drain and improve readability in darker environments. It appears to be better lately, happening more often while I am travelling and changing IPs, less when I am at home. Still it wastes time when it does the loop, it forces me to use unmodified Chrome, wasting more battery power and harming eyes at dark with those white backgrounds. Unfortunately more and more websites are proxying through CF, thinking they are 'protecting' their website. But CF acts like the chinese Great Firewall, deciding who can and cannot to access the site.
Clojure users tend to prefer tiny libraries that excel at one task and compose them together. While Pedestal is definitely a framework, its eclipsed by the sheer popularity of Ring (HTTP abstraction library similar to Rack), where you roll with your own choice of web server, router, middleware, database, data validation and coercion, etc.
This is why I stopped using eBay to sell things as a regular person - I just list them on Gumtree now. The last few times I used eBay to sell things it ended up essentially as theft, the buyer claims some attribute was not as described, eBay automatically side with the buyer and they get to keep the item and the money. As a seller you're out of pocket.

Whatever your standpoint on that, the site proceeds to explain there is a specific locale that suggests a Taiwan-specific translation as opposed to one that is commonly used on the mainland, but it does actually result in something that is used in Taiwan.
> So essentially the site is saying that Google Translate outputs what I'd call (for simplicity) Taiwanese/Hong Hongese with a foreigner's "accent" (but in writing)? It sounds odd to me.

Taiwanese is another language... but let's use your simplified terms for now. Well, yes, pretty much this. It's not that different from writting "fish and chips" as "fish and fries" in British English.
Even better would be the scenario when it is stuck forever.

One funny thing that I found not long ago is that you can traverse a long chain of word translations by re-feeding the translated word. You start with a word let's say in italian, get it translated to spanish. Now you grab that word in spanish and translate back it to italian. You do sometimes a get a different word. You do this again and again. There doesn't seem be a one to one correspondence in certain cases. Don't know if this a known issue nor if some else already spot it.

I applied at Canonical at one point and withdrew my application after it became a kafkaesque experience. They wanted me to do a “psychometric” evaluation at which point I had seen enough of their.. culture ?

Funnily the engineer who was responsible for the application also sent a very bureaucratic sounding email acknowledging my withdrawal.

I can’t imagine their process for interviews doesn’t reflect what working there would be like - if it doesn’t then they really need to fix their pipeline
Based on a sibling comment from raincole, Traditional Chinese isn't used in China at all. Shouldn't the translator then simply output the Taiwanese (and, according to them, Hong Kongese) variants when selecting that language, rather than the language having two possible words to use?
That’s all nice but the inputs are dubious here which are created by the App developer. Garbage in, Garbage out. The LLM never stood a chance.

This isn’t an LLM story, it’s the story of putting an unprotected blade into a children’s toy.

We wouldn’t blame the blade manufacturer in that case, we wouldn’t ask for all blades sold to be dulled and we wouldn’t have conversations of giving a regulatory monopoly to a handful of blade manufacturers who promise to make them all safe by only selling sharp blades to their friends and handing everyone else spoons.
K2d – Kubernetes to Docker Translator
I would argue that everything you listed is a bug, not a feature.

- Having media in chats is obnoxious; links can be passed along in IRC too (and data, although DCC sucks).

- Editing/Deletion of messages actually makes the threads later on harder to understand as someone may have commented on the original message.
It's more of a filter for a certain mindset even if some cannot articulate it:

iPhone -> pragmatism
I don't think your point is relevant here.

They speak the same language in China and Taiwan: Mandarin Chinese. The question is whether to use more Taiwanese-sounding phrases when traditional characters are requested.
I agree that it's a miscommunication but batting for citizenlab here, it's just an all-round misunderstanding of culture and language.

Chinese culture had a very strong "save face" mentality, especially big companies that have much government involvement. So they aren't going to admit fault or indicate that they have to do something.

The correct response to tencent's initial response, was to say that you are looking for status update and will disclose vulnerability by X time. Please let us know when the issue has been fixed.

I believe in capitalism. I am 100% in favour of making money by offering something people are willing to pay for.

Some extensions are monetizable by honestly asking users to pay for access. Mine just isn’t. It’s only as popular as it is because it’s free and open source and promises total privacy.
Something like a plugin is a fairly well defined thing and ideally should not need a lot of permissions. E.g. an ad blocker has a simple flow: occasionally update filters from a number of specified endpoints and then match and block web pages’ request urls against downloaded lists. Between update it should have zero web traffic and filter updates are expected to be from known whitelisted sources and asymmetrical in size: very few bytes sends and a lot received. If all of a sudden after an update your plugin wants to send a bunch of data to a new URL you know immediately something is fishy. With respect to granularity, in this case the plugin might not even need to know the entire URL but just the host/domain name - this makes it less attractive to adtech.
