Saw this on Twitter (it's a Magic: The Gathering card run through Google translate and back), and it is giving me Orville vibes. Sorry if this doesn't work, doing it through the app.

Snow Cone Capone posted:I have the glowing Kuchi Kopi as a present from my wife but I'm 99% sure she didn't pay that much for it. It's strange, because I'm quite sure a huge number of fans want Kuchi Kopi things, and literally no other toy related to Bob's Burgers in any way. Certainly applies to me. They did a miscalculation if they didn't realize that. Iron Crowned posted:I hope that they have a rare mustache Bortus with 500 cigarettes. 100% this, I must have it.

Warning $50, because collectible nerd toy Google for a discount coupon if you do actually buy that overpriced thing.

I just want a stand with an Orville model that's heavily weighted on the front with a divot where it connects to the stand, so you put it on the stand and can rotate it around with a light touch and it looks like it is floating, like one of those balance eagle toys

I expected that just going to mandarin and back would have been totally whack but it was hardly messed up at all. Even more surprised how little was lost going through five languages. Man the bad Asian translators of instructions really have no excuse. Those companies could just run it through Google and save some money, and it would actually come out better.

Google translate is basically magic. I work in retail and it’s amazing how much you can achieve with google translate. In my neighbourhood we have a substantial Chinese customer base and many of them can’t speak a word of English; it’s amazing how well google translate works, I end up using it all the time to make myself understood.

Yeah. It doesn't do good translations for any of the languages I'm familiar enough with to judge, but they've solved getting translations functional enough to communicate with. Had plenty of conversations through it like a Star Trek universal translator.

I kind of suspect where translation is now is as good as it's going to get for a while, but I'm one of those people who thinks machine learning/AI is being really overhyped right now and is going to be a much harder problem than a lot of people have been claiming lately. Also it depends on the languages too. Good quality English-Spanish translation is an easier problem than English-Korean.

I just had a situation with an online sale where google translate essentially turned an English description into its functional opposite in Spanish resulting in a quite unhappy customer. Probably don't buy expensive things based only on a machine translation.

Cingulate posted:Sure, I don't assume that we will have full AI soon, but I can see a noticeable step forward in the quality of translations arriving still. Not perfect, but stylistically better. I'm thinking grammar will get more comprehensible so you're not always trying to puzzle out things that sort of make sense but are phrased incredibly weirdly. But I'm thinking properly fluent translation is going to require the computer to actually understand the languages it's using and that's going to be extremely difficult.

But I'm thinking properly fluent translation is going to require the computer to actually understand the languages it's using and that's going to be extremely difficult. With a big enough data set it could very conceivably get very, very close to as accurate as a fluent translator without any real understanding. At least for everyday transactional things. It will obviously be a lot harder for things like poetry or philosophy

I think we're 5-10 years away from NLP universal translators for the major languages. Computers are still going to have problems with colloquialisms for a while, though.

I don't know if it's a good way to compare, but the amount of time it takes to learn a language vs to drive a car sure makes it seem language is a vastly more complex task. Makes sense to me intuitively too, and as we all know intuition on the internet equals facts.

Cingulate posted:... than language? I'm pretty sure we'll have cars way before real language understanding. Yes, absolutely.

Makes sense to me intuitively too, and as we all know intuition on the internet equals facts. It's not a good way to compare, because humans are naturally very good at using vision and spacial awareness to navigate in the real world and have been doing so for 16 years or more before they have to learn to do it at a higher rate of speed. Computers don't have 5 billion years or whatever of evolution hard-wiring visual cognition into them. Our brains employ tricks we don't yet fully understand to be able to process the data so quickly. And the kicker is that to be a good driver also means being able to predict the behavior of the drivers around you, which is in no way a simple problem.

It isn't though, because to learn top drive a car also requires you to develop fine motor control, and process and prioritize what you see and hear, and ability to think and perceive in 3D space. It's just those are tasks you've already mastered by that age

Also have to be clear what we mean. If you're talking good enough translation to be able to travel to a foreign country and use your phone as a UT to get around, yeah that's doable and we're most of the way there already. I'm talking about like good, you don't need humans anymore instant machine translation. I don't expect that to be cracked in my lifetime.
