Re:Translating Latin demonology manuals with GPT-4 and Claude on Wednesday October 04, 2023 @06:43AM (#37763268)
most Latin text have been translated once and more then 100 years ago while most ancient Arabic text have never been translated. this is an old problem.

I see AI as savior here esp with reconstructing old languages we only have small amount of text saved

AI is not here to dumb down anything but automate tasks and find and reveal complexity esp hidden complexity. Humans are limited by their short and long term memory and bandwidth esp in modern digital environment.

I would still rate opportunity gap as higher priority over understanding complexity. its still funny when people try to be digital nomads just to discover geopolitics or time zones

Re:How to find time to learn after work (2017) on Monday August 28, 2023 @09:56AM (#37294020)
Finally a topic I mastered. As very very late started and IT outsider until recently:

Show up 15 - 30 minutes early to work and pick the most useful skill upgrade that will get you promoted or make your job easier / make you faster.

This is bare minimum to get constant promotions. Stay 15 min after work and do quick analysis what did you do and how to do it better.

During work always volunteer for documentation or training. Make sure you squeeze little research into both. And do proper detailed paperwork for both.

Harass your boss for training, labs, conferences at every moment esp when someone compliments either you learning something new or your performance / execution.

Study vacations. I have 25 days off and 5 of those are for intensive courses. somewhere interesting. This does not have to be directly related to job skills. You still have to be social and talk to people so language learning and cooking /dancing abroad is still beneficial.

Once you train yourself how to do this try not to think and stress about it. Learning needs to be intense but with playful fun approach and mood.

As someone who worked in finance I call b.s.

When you need to do any infrastructure change not to mention data manipulation it takes million signatures and meetings. Like 13 meetings to deal with one ex employee corporate cloud folder.

Unless they end up in court. Then somehow million things happen on their own in their benefit.

as a translation tool it works perfectly beside English grammar check, hindu tutorials, japanese news latex - markdown - html/javascript - matjjax python into and from python libraries python to and from mysql math formulas extracted from pdf research papers and translated into jupyter python code snippets and helping with reading papers with v4 and plugins I went from youtube tutorials to books to textbooks to papers in 4 months

Ask HN: Is it time to talk about React Native vs. AI code translation to native

slightly overconfident here but thanks to AI help I am turning my most useful scripts into programs and while making interactive tutorials and messing with python to javascript AI code translation I got results useful enough to start wandering at what point it makes more sense to put little more effort and make native app with AI then mess with frameworks like react nativeApologies for beginner...
