I wonder if the source code behind early rule-based chatbots would still be "simple" if the language in which they chatted had not been English. https://spectrum.ieee.org/eliza-chatbot-source-code

“The concept of ‘cost rental’ is summed up in the name. The rent for a home should only cover development and maintenance costs. The goal is not to make a profit.” https://www.thejournal.ie/affordable-rent-scheme-price-cuts-analysis-7022981-Apr2026/

This shouldn't really be such a radical idea. Non-profit housing is the only obvious way out to bring rents back into human proportions.

If vibe coding exists, then maybe machine translation should be called vibeslation.

Replying to @xocolatli@lingo.lol
@xocolatli@lingo.lol Yes. In fairness, some Indo-Euro languages have a third option, a word which means "it is not the case that not". German: "doch", French: "si". This is used to answer negatively worded questions positively.

We used to worry about accidentally training machine translation on badly machine-translated texts from the Internet. Oh we had it so easy.

@dirtyoldtown@mefi.social I'm puzzled the other way around. Just *how* come this isn't the normal healthcare experience everywhere? So many centuries of civilisation behind us and we still can't agree this is what it's about? (Glad your son's OK though.)
