Just a chance? I routinely translate hundred pages of pdfs to greek, in 3 minutes. The translation is far from perfect depending the text and it still needs a human in the loop for corrections, but i couldn't imagine translating a 300 pages pdf to greek by hand. There is also the translaxy bot on poe.com which i use to translate english or modern greek to ancient greek. Out of this world good translation. I mean, are…

Have you seen any good translation tool from video to text yet? I'm trying to find something for Estonian to English and having little luck

Do you mean images in the video like how the Google Translate app can do with the camera, or do you mean the audio within the video?

In case anyone is confused (since the link goes to a 404 page now), the link appeared to go to a product listing of a dresser but the name of the product was the name of this posting, “I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request…”

The worst thing for me is how the Amazon search algorithm seems to want to show you everything but the item you searched for. In many categories, even when explicitly searching for brand and model names, you’ll get dozens of off-brand substitutions and even random unrelated products appearing above it in the search results. Occasionally I’ve even noticed products that are available for sale (if you click on a direct…

Through rigorous A/B testing I could figure out a way to tweak our search algorithm so people spend much more time on our site! It seems they now really enjoy browsing for products!

My best guess is the algorithm has been tweaked to return exact results maybe 1/10 or 1/20 times, like a slot machine with the psychological manipulation and “reward centre activation” that comes with it.

Using Amazon for shopping is terrible, borderline unusable in 2024. They're hard to compete with because they're giant and have an amazing logistics network, but it also seems like there's a big vacuum in the market for an "everything store" that's actually good.

@dang request to swap the main url for context

I recommend clicking on 'Contact' at the bottom of the page, dang doesn't get any notifications of these comments and probably won't see it.

I’m shocked that people are having good experiences with Amazon delivery in 2023. For me, 2-day delivery means it’ll get here in a week or 2. And forget about customer service that can actually solve my issue. I want whatever program you’re on

Where are you located? Not specifically, but urban, suburban, rural, remote? Anecodtally: I am in a super-urban location. I order Prime 2-day, on average, twice a week. It has been late maybe once in the past year; often, it comes a day early.

Small city (~70k). I’ve also ordered to some of my friends/families houses who live in suburbs and large cities. The only time I ever didn’t have issues is when I lived in NYC and ordered to Amazon lockers

> rigorous A/B testing Also known as unethical, non-consensual human experimentation for profit maximization purposes.

I don't expect you to back off of your take, but you should really consider how and why you came to this conclusion.

If I put two different marketing messages on two different billboards to test whether one is more effective than the other, is that unethical non-consensual experimentation? If not, how is it different from A/B testing?

All they have to do is get rid of the 3rd party storefront and hire people to stock and procure vetted goods instead of having it be a free-for-all.

There are plenty of stores that do this. The selection is much lower and prices are higher.

That’s right - being an everything store isn’t easy.

No excuse for their behaviour, but the expectation is not high.

Hundreds of millions are spent on translators every year. It's a major expense in the EU budget, for example. A lot of people are going to jail for fraud if people aren't actually doing the work.

Oh, didn't know about that! Learning something new everyday i guess. Automatic translation works very well for technical documents, but it doesn't work that well for novels. So i thought, most of the translation jobs would be gone already. I think, given a little bit of time, a handful of years, translation will be automated 95% or more, across the board, for every kind of document.
