Anyone know of a common or standard string templating grammar, which you can use both to generate strings and parse them?

Something like `{foo}/{bar}` where I could either provide foo and bar to get a string, or give it a string and get foo and bar back (if it matches of course).

My father-in-law used to drive my mother-in-law nuts because he avoided taking the same path, on their daily trip to the grocery store, twice in a row. Always, he looked for a new way of getting there: "There are fewer stop signs here," he'd tell her, or, "We've never seen these houses before."

He refused to be confined to the same old way.

iOS 26.3.1 had completely broken the keyboard next word suggestion feature on my phone. I rebooted my phone and a little while later it started working again. I assume it previously failed to download some ML model and never recovered, and the reboot forced it to retry.

Good testing there, Apple.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.

Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.

Do you have any recommendations?

So far, at the top of my list I have:

@timnitGebruTimnit Gebru (she/her) @emilymbenderProf. Emily M. Bender(she/her) and @alexhanna of @DAIR

plus @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @jaredwhiteJared “Indie Social Web” White and @tante

Anyone else to recommend who advocates for ?

I'm writing this in English.

Not because English is my first language—it isn't. I'm writing this in English because if I wrote it in Korean, the people I'm addressing would run it through an outdated translator, misread it, and respond to something I never said. The responsibility for that mistranslation would fall on me. It always does.

This is the thing Eugen Rochko's post misses, despite its good intentions.

@GargronEugen Rochko argues that LLMs are no substitute for human translators, and that people who think otherwise don't actually rely on translation. He's right about some of this. A machine-translated novel is not the same as one rendered by a skilled human translator. But the argument rests on a premise that only makes sense from a certain position: that translation is primarily about quality, about the aesthetic experience of reading literature in another language.

For many of us, translation is first about access.

The professional translation market doesn't scale to cover everything. It never has. What gets translated—and into which languages—follows the logic of cultural hegemony. Works from dominant Western languages flow outward, translated into everything. Works from East Asian languages trickle in, selectively, slowly, on someone else's schedule. The asymmetry isn't incidental; it's structural.

@GargronEugen Rochko notes, fairly, that machine translation existed decades before LLMs. But this is only half the story, and which half matters depends entirely on which languages you're talking about. European language pairs were reasonably serviceable with older tools. Korean–English, Japanese–English, Chinese–English? Genuinely usable translation for these pairs arrived with the LLM era. Treating “machine translation” as a monolithic technology with a uniform history erases the experience of everyone whose language sits far from the Indo-European center.

There's also something uncomfortable in the framing of the button-press thought experiment: “I would erase LLMs even if it took machine translation with it.” For someone whose language has always been peripheral, that button looks very different. It's not an abstract philosophical position; it's a statement about whose access to information is expendable.

I want to be clear: none of this is an argument that LLMs are good, or that the harms @GargronEugen Rochko describes aren't real. They are. But a critique of AI doesn't become more universal by ignoring whose languages have always been on the margins. If anything, a serious critique of AI's political economy should be more attentive to those asymmetries, not less.

The fact that I'm writing this in English, carefully, so it won't be misread—that's not incidental to my argument. That is my argument.
