Show HN: i18n-ai-translate -- automated i18next translations with ChatGPT/Gemini
Modern LLMs tend to be on par with machine translation and are only going to get better. By incrementally providing the i18n file as input, context-aware translations are generated instead of considering each key as a separate entity. Furthermore, running a separate verification flow on each generated translation ensures consistency in the output.

Instead of copy-pasting translations from i18n files to ChatGPT, an arduous process when there are many supported languages, this library automatically generates the updated translations.
That doesn't stop someone else from flashing a reprogrammable keycard with the id.

When I’ve seen attempts at ggplot2 or dplyr in other languages, one issue is bad performance or bugs, but it’s also been a problem that the language features seem to allow those libraries to be much more ergonomic. eg I found Julia much less nice to use for those sorts of things despite it seeming light it ought to be well suited (making a reasonably good claim to a lot of CL heritage for example)

> Stuff like Apple Vision Pro where you need an iPhone to scan your face is annoying. If you want a Apple Watch but have Android phone it's pretty much pointless. How does Apple get away with that?

You think of the Apple Watch or AVP as independent pieces of hardware, but the Apple model is that they're all one integrated system, of which you can choose what components to buy or not.

My biggest problem with this suit is that it attacks the core premise of interoperability that is one of the reasons people like the Apple ecosystem to begin with.
Perhaps there's a way to visualize the actual operation of the Crookes radiometer, I've a proposal below but I'd welcome a better one.

As with many of us, I've been fascinated with the radiometer's seeming 'magic' operation since I was a young kid and first saw one in a shop window. Back then and when I was doing high school science we were led to believe that radiation pressure from incoming light alone was its modus operandi and none of us questioned otherwise. When I learned later of the now accepted Reynolds explanation I was somewhat surprised that we weren't taught it at school as it was already known (seems too our science teachers were unaware of it, and for some reason they never questioned the anomalous direction of rotation, nor did we think to ask).

I admit I've always been surprised that radiation pressure was strong enough to cause rotation because it just seemed that overcoming inertia alone would be a problem which would mean the vanes would have taken a much longer time to spin up than they do in practice. Furthermore the frictional losses in the glass/pivot bearing would have had to have been incredibly small. BTW, I'm not taking credit for smart thinking here as others I'd discussed it with thought similarly. When we eventually learned of the Reynolds explanation it made sense.

it's just occurred to me—and I haven't thought this through with any finesse—but perhaps there's a way to visualize the radiometer's operation by making the movement of the residual low pressure air visible by some means, but that seems quite a challenge.

Coloring the air wouldn't work but there might be another way. Suppose the air was swopped with say radon gas or perhaps even uranium hexafluoride (although I'd suspect it would be much less efficient) and we cover the inside of the radiometer's bulb with numerous radiation detectors but not enough to block sufficient incoming light to stop it functioning. (The detectors would have to be on the inside of the bulb as its glass would block the alpha particles emitted from the radon).

We could then track density changes in the gas and build up a moving image of its movement versus incoming radiation levels. Little doubt it'd be a difficult to do and likely considered too dangerous and frivolous an experiment to make it worthwhile. Nevertheless it'd be fascinating to see visual images of the gas's movement, also they'd put any remaining arguments about the radiometer's operation to rest.

Anyone got any suggestions for better ways of making the gas molecules visible?

The appeal of prompting a whole song into existence kind of baffles me for the same reasons you are suggesting but there’s room for fun and creativity in working with samples and given the substantial cottage industry that royalty-free samples already are this was pretty much the first application I was expecting to see in the audio GenAI realm.

The problem I’ve seen historically is when a company is founded around one project or ecosystem.

Someone like Microsoft or Google could take software like this, pay the original developer, and still see tons of ROI offering it as a canned cloud service. And to a certain degree they don’t care about the profitability of that 1 thing if it helps sell the rest of their system. Quite honestly, they won’t care about competition using it if it’s already common. People want X, they’re using it, you can offer it. You’re paying a handful of people for street cred, a guarantee it will continue to work well with your stuff, and input into direction.

Folks like RedisLabs, MongoDB, Hashicorp, etc. think they can do the same with a marketplace offering. But they’re reliant that the particular product is profitable on its own. They’re also reliant on the cloud customer being willing to establish another relationship with another vendor, even when they can automatically deploy and bill through their existing provider.

We’ve seen folks behind OSS projects hop from company to company over time and the project continues to thrive. I haven’t seen a company restrict a license and the project do so… at least that I can think of. I might be wrong.
As long as WordPress is around, PHP will never die. Great for me with my 15 years of PHP experience.

EVs share their unique identifier with the charger, so the privacy issue remains even if all the chargers get bill feeders.

The title refers to the idea of a submarine going silent so it can't be tracked by sonar. In early drafts of the screenplay, the hero wanted to do something similar with the Valley Forge, so he painted the ship black and tried to hide, knowing that Earth would come looking for it. That idea was abandoned but the title remained.

> and can play exactly none of them on the Mac because several years into Apple Silicon

You think that's some kind of low blow? This is a problem on the Mac App Store, too; if you buy software Apple depreciates, your Apple hardware won't run it. Don't get mad at Adobe or Steam, get mad at the person depreciating things with wild abandon and expecting everyone to cater their whims. Get mad at yourself for accidentally trusting Apple and updating to their new OS without reading the conditional changes they're introducing to your computer's software. Steam and it's publishing partners have no intrinsic obligation to support software that didn't exist when they wrote their programs.

> Which seems to really upset people when Apple charges that.

The App Store could take a 99% cut, for all most developers care. The point-of-contention is Apple's lack of an alternative, which makes any percentage unsubstantiated because there's no way to deliver software at-cost. Apple isn't charging for convenience, they're commoditizing privlidge.

Nobody cares when Steam takes their 30% because people deliberately install it on their PC. The App Store on MacOS is a great example of what happens when you let an arbitrary payment surcharge meet the free market. It becomes a fucking ghost town.
Would there be less coverup if they didn't investigate?
And the number of bots is out of control. I'm guessing they are accounts that pretend to be regular users by copying other user comments on the same topic and posting them days/weeks later when the topic gets brought up again. Then I assume at some point in the future they'll be sold off to spammers or manipulators of some kind.
I'm guessing because outside the Apple ecosystem apps are primarily free.

Apple App Store is $99 annually + cost of owning a Mac, compared to a one time $25 Google Play Store (develop on PC or Mac, with the possibility to avoid the Play Store). More people own PCs (even within the developer community) so this leads to more apps in the PC and Android ecosystem. More competition, means lower prices.

I've also heard Apple is much more strict about what they allow on their App store, which further restricts supply and keeps prices high. I don't think this is an accident, Apple intentionally wants high prices on their platform, because it keeps the illusion alive that Apple devices are luxury devices and a status symbol.
>And yet no one would ever want or think of locking down MacOS like they have locked down iOS.

https://www.qubes-os.org/intro/, snapd and BSD jails are all forms of locking down a general computer OS ways similar to the way iOS is locked down, and things that individual users choose to do on their own computers. Sure those users can install anything else they want as well, but then there's also a reason why these things are niche, even within the nice of *nix users. Because the administration and management is a headache and people don't generally want to do that.

>Turns out that grown ups don't need Apple to babysit them for additional "security"

I think you have an over estimation of the average "grown ups" ability to judge the safety and security of their computer or the software they run on it. There are plenty of people out there who do not want or need to understand system security and administration and are much better served by having someone else manage that for them. There's a reason why Windows and MacOS are still more popular than Linux, and there's a reason why in the Linux world, Red Hat, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu are more popular than Arch. People only have a limited amount of time and energy to dedicate to things and not everyone wants to dedicate theirs to our shared hobby.
For a second, let's just assume that Apple is 100% guilty. What will the fine be? If it's anything less than many billions of dollars, there is zero incentive for Apple to do anything at all different in the future.

Suing Apple(or any other company over stuff like this) when the fines will be a tiny slap on the wrist at worst will not incentivize proper behaviour, so there is literally zero reason for doing this except for the govt to feel good about itself, see!! we got a few hundred million from that evil corp for doing bad things. LOL. Apple could plead guilty tomorrow, pay the fine and continue doing business and not even notice.

My current place has free instant coffee (until it runs out) and everyone who wants to push for more than that is viewed with 'tall poppy syndrome'.

I recently stumbled on https://mindmac.app which is a non-subscription app that uses multiple AI tools (not just OpneAI). Looks Promising.

These are some of the really good ones. I'm tending more towards trying out the likes of MindMac just for the fact that I can plug and switch between multiple tools.

> The timing wasn't coincidental and it was clear that they were responding to people training LLMs on the Reddit corpus.

Hard disagree, they were lying about their motives, plain and simple. Their claimed motiviation doesn't match what they did/didn't actually do.

For example, the biggest companies training LLMs could be dissuaded by simply changing the terms-of-service to prohibit that usage (skipping all that developer-labor and community protest) but Reddit didn't do that. (Dodgy companies that don't care aren't relevant since they'll just scrape the website even without API access.)

In contrast, "Reddit arbitrarily killed third-party apps to force their own app" does match what the company implemented: Abrupt and punishing new fees, mandating that third-party apps can't contain any ads of their own, and making certain categories of content exclusive to their own app.

I mean Fentanyl should be schedule 2, it has legitimate medical uses. That's why Cocaine and Methamphetamine are also schedule 2. Marijuana should probably be schedule 4 or 5, if not completely de-scheduled and regulated the same way Alcohol is, which is what a lot of recreational legalization states have done.
Very difficult (or often impractical) to not have a shell at all, and jq is at least limited in scope, and has no dependencies that need to be installed. Far better than a full language with its own standard library and set of dependencies to lock down.

Instead, I will assume that the FDA has not reversed a decades-long policy without evidence stronger than a local news station which uses a local weed doctor as their quotable source.

The change in _stated_ FDA policy is a huge shift. This explainable-by-a-simple-mistake news article seems much more likely to me. This article header says "Posted at 5:43 AM, Mar 21, 2024 and last updated 2024-03-21 20:13:30-04". That's a 100% full business day where _no other mainstream media_ picked up the story? Possible, but not likely.
Very much agreed! Our goal is to facilitate that fun and creativity that comes from playing with samples :)
Yeah, we don’t even need to get every cell at that point, just a sizable number of the CD4 cells that are relatively easily accessible. The HIV would destroy every CD4 that isn’t CCR5 by itself. The antibodies would clean up the rest of the virons. Theoretically that would work as a cure too if you could excise the hiv and insert the CCR5 widely enough.

“Proton must comply with Swiss law. As soon as a crime is committed, privacy protections can be suspended and we’re required by Swiss law to answer requests from Swiss authorities,” he wrote.

See the problem with privacy services like proton mail, signal and tor is that their customers very often do have something to hide, and so they become a target both legally and technically. You better believe the intelligence services are so deep in those services they're having picnic on the lawn. Using them is kind of like camouflaging your body with bright neon orange fluorescent paint to hide in a crowd

Nice work! Been looking for a good standalone photo manager for a while.

Three questions:

1. Can we do multiple person search? Eg: photos with Person A and Person B?

2. Any plans for descriptive search using CLIP or any of the existing neural networks out there?

3. I see we can edit the exif description, but maybe can we have a custom caption box? eg: "Mum and Dad in 1993". Ideally that would also be available for search, and it would appear more explicitly when browsing photos (kind of like a real album with the notes written next to each photo).
