Yeah, proper V3/R1/K2/Qwen 235B are the point at which open LLMs become worth using.

This is really cool! I've done a lot of research into LLM translation for my product[0], and I'm currently working on a deep translation service that provides reliably human-level translations. I don't know what model you&#x2

"Devotion" feels more appropriate.

I'm working on a translation API that's ~2x better than SOTA LLMs. The API itself is done. Right now I'm remaking the landing page so that it doesn't quote "look like it's from 2015". We'll see how it

My old technical school had Immersive Labs, which used remote VMs and had some tutorials around Linux usage.

This is a neat topic. I've only ever done this once. A friend of mine had made a spreadsheet of fusion 360 shortcuts, so I made a little webapp for use at school: https://fusion.alexcj.co.uk/ I made it use a custom sty

There's a successor, I can't remember the name. You could also try Matrix or Discord?

Classic Reddit. IRC, perhaps? :)

I've noticed the same! I assumed it was something to do with its reinforcement learning making it more organic and less LLM-speak, but that sounds plausible.

Ironically, maybe writing. I've been able to get LLMs to translate well, but I can't get them to write well. More realistically, though - the areas with the best lobbying and strongest unions.

I'm working on LLM translation research for my tool that teaches you a language while you browse by translating sentences at your level into the language you're learning ( https://nuenki.app ) I've had some breakthr

This looks fun. I don't have any specific suggestions - I've always used WASM with Rust - but I wish you luck with your project! P.S. You might have more success with replies on Reddit. HN is very all-or-nothing.

That's a good point. At some point I ought to make a UBlock-origin style list of customisable rules. At the moment I'm focused on translation quality, but I intend to add that.

Translating entire sentences is the idea - I'm not sure what setting you mean with "words only"? I really ought to make the settings clearer, but it's hard to do when you know what they "ought" to express. &quo

Yeah, though I've added lots of privacy protections to at least partially mitigate that: - There's a global blacklist of sites, as well as phrases in the title/URL (e.g. "bank") - You can blacklist sites yourself -

You might like my tool. It has the same general principle as LingQ - learning from content you actually want to read - except it applies it to all web browsing. It's a browser extension that finds sentences in webpages, scores them by

My tool supports Thai, if you'd like to try it - https://nuenki.app . I added it at the request of a user, who seems to be happy with it. It's a browser extension that finds English sentences in webpages, and translate

DeepL Write was pretty good in the post-LLM, pre-ChatGPT era.

I just did some more research, which you might find interesting. Thinking actually makes them translate worse! https://nuenki.app/blog/the_more_llms_think_the_worse_they_t...

Also, Google Translate is really not a particularly good translator. It has the most public knowledge, but as far as translators go it's pretty poor. DeepL is a step up, and modern LLMs are even better. There's some data here[0],

I made a tool which translates sentences as you browse, for immersion[0]. I solved this by giving the model a code (specifically, "483") to return in any refusal. Then, if I detect that in the output, I fail over to another model+

I've ended up doing a lot of research into LLM translation, because my language learning tool ( https://nuenki.app ) uses it a lot. I built something kinda similar, and made it open source. It picks the top x models based on

I spent quite a while doing that, and I still kinda do. I quite frequently add new features for a single person! The problem is that 25 people who are happy with the product and likely to share it is still only 25 people, and there aren&#x2

To be clear, the main product is translating from English to the language you're learning - not the other way around - so that you immerse yourself while you browse. The hybrid translator is kinda a side thing based on my research into

Is Obsidian underrated? It's great, anyway. There's an Obsidian extension that lets you encrypt notes. I use that for my diary. Firefox account containers are also quite nice.

AI progress has also made high quality language translation a lot cheaper. When I started https://nuenki.app last year, the options were exorbitantly priced DeepL for decent quality low latency translation or Sonnet for slightly
