  • I have both Epic and GOG copies from two different free offers and played it a bunch, but could never finish it. I enjoy the atmosphere and the story, but the fights got repetitive and difficult (not in a good way). I stopped at some boss fight, then later decided to pick it up again and eventually stopped at another artificial roadblock.

    I was paying $3,300/mo rent back in 2020. Got a mortgage at the low rates of 2021 and got a $2,800 monthly rate. So it seems like it’s cheaper. But once I add the property tax (~$1,000/mo), HOA ($500), home insurance (~$300), it’s not at all cheaper to own than to rent. Plus paying for maintenance on our own (had to replace both the fridge and the washing machine in the time since we moved) adds up too. Not saying it was better to rent, but it was definitely cheaper.











  • As long as you can verify it is an accurate translation

    Unless the process has changed in the last decade, article translations are a multi-step process, which includes translators and proof-readers. It’s easier to get volunteer proof-readers than volunteer translators. Adding AI for the translation step, but keeping the proof-reading step should be a great help.

    But you could probably also have used Google translate and then just fine tune the output yourself. Anyone could have done that at any point in the last 10 years.

    Have you ever used Google translate? Putting an entire Wikipedia article through it and then “fine tuning” it would be more work than translating it from scratch. Absolutely no comparison between Google translate and AI translations.

    There used to be a reason to do that. We did it because there were limits to text length and you didn’t want to get charged for multiple texts. Also writing on keypads was a pain. I don’t understand why anyone still does it today, especially people who were not texting back in those days.
