I only just now just discovered this site:
https://explainshell.com/
which along with this one https://regex101.com/ which I've used for some time have to be among the most useful resources out there for #sysadmin and #programming.
I am reminded of that old #Einstein attributed quote about not trying to remember everything when it can be looked up -
I certainly find that as I'm getting less #young I don't remember all the possible options to ffmpeg anymore. 😄
Extract:
There was a time when we did not build walls around our wells.
We knew the water was for the village, for the traveller, for life itself. [..]
Then, strangers came from across the seas. [...] and said, "Why walk to your own well? Our pipe gives sweeter water, and it is free."
And we, entranced by the ease, began to thirst for their water. We forgot the taste of our own. [...] To remember our own history, we asked their scribes for the telling.
They called this pipeline #Google.
There seems to be quite some #LLM #hallucination right now about a continental internet exchange for #Africa.
I think I might have come across the inspiration for those #hallucinations

Indeed, pasting something into deepl and comparing the difference between Classic Language Model (pretty good translation) and AI "next-gen" language model - the latter is quite inaccurate.

It is still very much in progress, but I would love to hear from you if you try it out or have ideas! I will reply to this thread with more details :)

You know, for years now, since initial attempts that were often laughable, I've been OK with machine translation, generally finding it to be faithful enough in languages I know and useful when I would otherwise be at a complete loss; your post prompted me to look into #LLM vs MT and I see that things are moving in the direction of implementing translation more using LLM tech. I haven't actually done any analysis of LLM translation they way I did before with MT when I came to trust it.
