  • If you’re using it just to translate a few paragraphs of text on a website here or there, then yes, it’s much better than what we had before.

    For anything complex however it can’t even begin to compare with a professionally done translation/localization.

    To start with, Japanese is already one of the more difficult languages to localize due to a bunch of linguistic concepts that don’t translate well to other languages and need creative solutions that carry over the same intent.

    More important however is consistency: Even if an AI translates some of the language ticks of the characters instead of completely glossing over them, it needs to do so consistently and apply the same translation across the whole script.

    The same goes for any named items. If there’s a “Soul Stone” for example, you need to make sure to call it “Soul Stone” every single time and not “Spirit Rock”.






  • My current toolkit (as a 3D printing hobbyist) on Linux currently includes:

    • FreeCAD: Takes some getting used to, is a lot stricter, but that might even improve your CAD skills in the long term, as it forces you to think more about what you’re actually doing. The closest thing to Fusion360.
    • OpenSCAD: You’re basically programming your models. Very powerful if you need parts with repeating sections and/or want something with easily adjustable parameters.
    • Blender: Useful when I have to do some quick&dirty modifications to a model I’ve downloaded from somewhere.

    Oh yeah, statistics gathering is something I think is generally a bit underrated. Many people see it as “gimmicky” compared to the automation features, but whether it’s statistics about electricity water or air quality, I’ve found that there’s so much insight to be gained about what’s happening in your home over the course of a day.

    And since you’re talking about sleep quality: One thing I’ve recently found out is that there’s a addon for HA that can calculate the absolute humidity based on the temperature and relative humidity. That way you can figure out if opening the windows will increase or decrease the relative humidity and by how much BEFORE opening the windows.
    Figured this out after trying to reduce the relative humidity of the bedroom by opening the windows and accidentally letting more humidity in despite the relative outside humidity being lower than on the inside.
