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isn't. I'm writing this in English because if I wrote it in Korean, the people I'm addressing would run it through an outdated translator, misread it, and respond to something I never said.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.
At SCALE 23x, we had the opportunity to speak with Harlan Stenn, President and Board Chair of the Network Time Foundation.
Harlan shared how he began using FreeBSD in the early days, testing it alongside other systems, and ultimately chose to run it on all his machines because it was stable, reliable, and simply worked.
It’s always powerful to hear from long-time contributors who have seen FreeBSD evolve over decades and still trust it today.

He knows he can bark at any time to be let back in, but Odin is so disinclined to bark that he'll first try looking sadly through the window for five or ten minutes hoping someone will notice him

did a little experiment over the past four weeks. i have to admit that coding agents are incredibly effective, even when you go full vibeslop mode.
but there's still something deeply uncomfortable about all this.

And I started beating my college boyfriend at chess, every time. He deeply resented it but I didn't realize it because he was pretty good at pretending otherwise. I was just happy. Right up until the day I won a match and he threw the board & pieces off the table so violently it felt like a threat
There's a paper in psychology this makes me think of: "Penalties for success: reactions to women who succeed at male gender-typed tasks"
Even when women prove themselves competent at tasks, there is "bias in evaluative judgments."

Microsoft is reviewing its Copilot+ integrations, and is saying internally that Microsoft Recall has failed.
So @xaitaxAlex Hagenah has cracked Microsoft Recall, he's got access to the encrypted database and has automated dumping of screenshots and all text from screenshots.
I've looked at most recent Recall and yep, you can just read the database as a user process. The database also contains all manner of fields which aren't publicly disclosed for tracking the user's activity.

I remember quite vividly a male teacher at the school my dad ran, an all boys' boarding school, saying it was remarkable how much I could "imitate" solutions without "understanding" them.
Since every day of my life I was kept out of school while I saw boys' schooling invested in, it was just how I thought the world worked. But I got myself into college anyway; I remember thinking to myself that I would always be at a disadvantage but I would work five times as hard as everyone else
In college I discovered I was good at chess, which was a surprise to me. My dad was into chess, and taught classes titled Logic; I was always fascinated by the exercises of those courses, but simultaneously, the men of that church community treated any demonstration of my success as a party trick

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).

Breaking, new, by me: Iran-backed Hackers Claim Wiper Attack on Medtech Firm Stryker
A hacktivist group with links to Iran's intelligence agencies is claiming responsibility for a data-wiping attack against Stryker, a global medical technology company based in Michigan. News reports out of Ireland, Stryker's largest hub outside of the United States, said the company sent home more than 5,000 workers there today. Meanwhile, a voicemail message at Stryker's main U.S. headquarters says the company is currently experiencing a building emergency.
From the story:
"Wiper attacks usually involve malicious software designed to overwrite any existing data on infected devices. But a trusted source with knowledge of the attack who spoke on condition of anonymity told KrebsOnSecurity the perpetrators in this case appear to have used a Microsoft service called Microsoft Intune to issue a ‘remote wipe’ command against all connected devices."
"Intune is a cloud-based solution built for IT teams to enforce security and data compliance policies, and it provides a single, web-based administrative console to monitor and control devices regardless of location. The Intune connection is supported by this Reddit discussion on the Stryker outage, where several users who claimed to be Stryker employees said they were told to uninstall Intune urgently."
