nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z what do you use for auto translate in amethyst?
Discussion
Ah ok. Does that have a cost associated with it?
I wish there was a better option for english-Japanese translations because this model is terrible at it
Everybody does. Its even worse when translating less gramatically correct sentences we commonly see in Nostr. Flipside is that other online models aren't that much better either and are much worse for privacy. Lets hope somebody makes a better model that can run on a phone. :)
Can we please still relying on an evil corporation for things like this?
If you find another translator that works in all of our languages, runs privately in the device, and is open source, I will be happy to try.
None that I know of, honestly. It's just awful to be running Google stuff on a protocol that will be replacing much of what Google does, and this is a weakness that needs to be worked on in the FOSS world. I'm no help with coding stuff. So all I can do is point this out, which feels bad, especially since you've created a pretty fantastic client.
Let's hope somebody steps up to build a model like that. It would be great to see it.
It's going to be necessary before too long. It's frustrating that no one else is really doing it that well.
Well, you can turn your frustration into a movement. Start a bounty and lets see how many other people will join to start financing that development. 🚀
No clue how to do that yet. LOL I'm barely comfortable zapping and interacting via amethyst. I'm still frightfully ignorant about the nostr protocol.
No need to be on Nostr or with Bitcoin. A Bounty is just a reward for somebody to develop something for you. Its a really good way to demonstrate how important something is for you. And if enough people join, devs out there dont need to pay for everything in this development.
OK, but how is that formalized and disseminated? I'm not on any other social thing
You can make a website, put it on nostrbounties.com or maybe go talk to a few NGOs that might fund this type of development. You can even use gofundme to start it.
This is how most things (companies, NGOs projects) start. You just need to get the message out there in any way you can to gather a community around it.
I'm not sure I'm capable of that since it's so far out of my wheelhouse.
Then find a "co-founder" :) Or maybe just start with a blog post on why you think this is important.
I stopped blogging most of 10 years about...
I'm really just an opinionated recluse with no means to do the things I'd like to when it comes to coding. I'm much better with the physical world than trying to build digitally.
