If you need translation for just getting facts and information for say math equation and its annotation translated, there's little margin in variety, what you need is database - that's mostly fine.

Pieces need translation are usually not like that. They have cultural context, pun, wordplay in rhymes, structural parallel, underlying tone, a lot of things only work in the language originally written. Translation is always a (nearly impossible) challenge for the translator to reconstruct all of them in target language.

I did game translation for a while. Translation is a field where AI hit first and honestly I've seen people lowering standards. The criteria of "good enough", "passable" is not the same compared to pre-AI days, and will keep changing. I'm almost sure this trend is happening in every industry the same way, and "just translation" is a slippery slope.

Ok I stand corrected, based on pornhub statistics lesbian porn 2024 is the most popular among women. I factored more men watch porn than women hence the majority in number, but it seemed viewership has been shifting toward more balanced state too.

The point I made is that cis men like women body and some prefer more of them than having a guy.

Same reason cis hetero men are the majority of the lesbian porn consumer. It's not sonething people usually say out loud in broad daylight but there's nothing wrong expressing someone's fantasy in form of fiction if proper zoning and warnings there.

80lv (3D industry news media) reports some digging on the company bought Nexus Mod. https://80.lv/articles/exclusive-nexus-mods-was-apparently-bought-by-a-shady-corporate-entity

Not exaxtly noteworthy info there though, it's just some no name, 6 month old, likely VC-funded company with zero transparency.

I heard once π²=10 is fairly accurate approx and thus g=π²=10 in astrophysics where people thinks in order of magnitude, not value.

But my engineering ass is telling assumptions with larger than 50% difference from actual value may cause issues on order of magnitude if the value is used multiple times and isnt it better be like 5=1/2×10?

IDK but since amoeboid organism can solve maze surely slung can do it too.

It's also from a company claiming they're getting closer to create morphing shape that can match any hole.

Seawater cannot be used for cooling, salt buildup will kill the system. Water involved in human activity is 100% freshwater, which is the the most scarce resource as in the article (human accessible is 1% of whole water). Desallination is energy intense process too.

Ok. I'm getting really hypothetical here, but leaving this at party can spread the juice quickly and even wider spread if it gets into water system. Whole life on earth will turn juice soon...

 

I'm tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.
