@Cerberus yeah a tanker who fought alongside me, and we were pretty much alone, with very little support from the rear. So we were fighting side by side, almost the entire battle, against an overwhelming enemy force.

And then he died. So when I received the message, at first I thought he'd be badmouthing me for not having helped him more. (It is very rare that you get nice messages, but as soon as something goes wrong, you can expect to get flamed and insulted, especially if it wasn't your fault at all.) So it felt good to read that he enjoyed the battle, liked my playstyle, and considered himself lucky to have had me on his team.

In the end the two of us had 7 kills, that's half of the enemy force. I got a medal for taking away more than 20% of the enemies' combined HP all by myself, dealing more damage than anyone else on the battlefield.

And I was driving a tank in which that's actually very hard to achieve, because it deals very little damage.

A whopping three tanks on our team dealt exactly 0 damage. Two of them spent the entire battle standing AFK in our base.

Hi

Robusto

@zespri You gotta earn Big Time English.

zespri

@Robusto huh? how do you mean?

Robusto

@RegDwigнt The solution is simple: get in the tanks and fight.

@zespri See, if you don't get the nuances of a joke in EL&U chat, how you gonna mix it up with the big boys and girls on the site itself?

skill patrol

He means you have to earn your right to post your questions on EL&U.

zespri

10:55 AM

@Robusto that was very nice of you, was not it?

skill patrol

EL&U = Big Time English

"Nice" English isn't what he is talking about, my friend @zespri

He is making a joke.

:-)

Like the big league of baseball

It is very similar in meaning.

Robusto

@zespri What is your native language?

zespri

Yeah, "nice" is not the right word. It's either "snobbish" or "elitist". But after a consideration no offence taken, how else would one deal with an unwelcome guest?

Russian

Robusto

@zespri Hey, if Nabokov could do it, so can you.

zespri

@Robusto Nabokov was a genius, one of a kind.

Robusto

11:03 AM

He was indeed.

@zespri BTW, that was another attempt at humor.

skill patrol

Sometimes I wonder if it is possible to become smarter.

Robusto

Define "smarter."

skill patrol

IQ

Robusto

That would not be my definition.

zespri

@skillpatrol I doubt so. One certainly can learn but IQ is something that you have hard-coded so to speak

Robusto

11:06 AM

Define IQ. Is it what is measured on a Stanford-Binet test?

skill patrol

Sure

Robusto

Then you can become smarter by getting better at taking standardized tests.

skill patrol

but doesn't your age work against you?

Robusto

In what way?

skill patrol

In the denominator of the Q of IQ

Robusto

11:09 AM

They standardize after a certain point, I think around 21.

If what you're saying were true, Einstein would have been a non-functional imbecile at age 60.

zespri

@skillpatrol sure it does. you get experience but that has nothing to do with being smart. It's just that certain thought routines become habitual, so you are able to quickly assess familiar and near familiar situations and challenges. But that has nothing to do with being smart, as being smart is all about being effective (or is that efficient?) in unfamiliar situations/chanllenges

Robusto

But we've covered this before.

Jul 7 '12 at 16:02, by Robusto

I was being flippant. Sorry. The measurement implied fails at the extremes, just like IQ tests.

The problem is, people who write the tests just aren't that smart. So they create questions that are flawed, and which introduce too much variance especially at the high end of the scale.

zespri

Isn't mensa writing their own tests?

Robusto

@zespri I was a Mensa member once upon a time. Trust me, they ain't that smart.

@zespri But experience of problem-solving is what may equip you to deal with unfamiliar challenges.

I'm a better programmer than I was even ten years ago, and yet I have to deal with unfamiliar things all the time.

zespri

@Robusto Well yes. But haven't we seen how young talented people outperform experienced ones? I do not mean consistently I mean locally, in particular challenging situations?

Robusto

11:18 AM

@zespri I think you'll find that those are outliers even in their own groups. And when you pit a young smart person against an old middle-of-the-road candidate, you're really cherry-picking the result set.

What should be shown is young smart people against older smart people.

zespri

And as far as Nabokov goes it's just not fair, he learned to read English before he learned to read Russian.

Robusto

14 mins ago, by Robusto

@zespri BTW, that was another attempt at humor.

See, you're at a disadvantage in this forum because your English isn't good enough to permit you to detect the nuances of statements.

zespri

Humor is lost on me, eh?

Robusto

No, I'm sure you are quite good at recognizing humor in Russian.

zespri

Is English your native language, may I ask?

Robusto

11:20 AM

Yes, it is. I myself wouldn't even recognize the meaning in a simple Russian sentence, let alone humor.

BTW, are you using Google Translate to parse some of these sentences?

zespri

Do you know any foreign languages? (computer languages aside)

Robusto

May 23 at 14:00, by Robusto

@Jez English, German, Japanese, and Spanish and French take up a distant fourth and fifth.

zespri

@Robusto Is it yet another attempt at humor?

Robusto

@zespri No, I switched gears. That was a legitimate question. Some people come into chat and do that, and wonder why they don't understand anything.

Note also that I am not being combative with you. I started off being playful, to gauge your English skill. Once I had you pegged, I eased off on the humor.

zespri

@Robusto but that's not possible in principle. if you use google translate you'll be lucky to understand the general meaning, and that's mind you, not guaranteed, and you can forget about nuances

skill patrol

11:24 AM

If becoming smarter were possible wouldn't it have become commercialized by now?

Robusto

I've found that one of the quickest ways to assess someone's skill in a language is to make a joke in the language and see if it's grasped at all.

@skillpatrol You're assuming it hasn't been. There is a rather large industry around test prep, which I'm sure you're aware of.

@zespri Agreed. Another way of putting that is: Google Translate sucks ass.

skill patrol

Yep, Gates did it with the SAT

Robusto

@zespri: Oh, and I had a year of high-school Russian. I remember almost nothing about it.

@skillpatrol Meaning he improved his score?

skill patrol

YES, Didn't he get an almost perfect score.

Robusto

I don't know.

skill patrol

11:28 AM

after tutoring.

Him and his partner who beat him by one point

zespri

@Robusto it's better in translating to English though. Which is fair enough given that English is now international language. If you try to translate to other languages it's going to be worse. When you translate something to Russian with google translate it's piss poor comparing to when you translate to English.

Robusto

@zespri Well, maybe and maybe not. You just may not be as good at spotting the flaws in English as you are in Russian.

Grab a passage in Russian and post it here. We can look at the result.

zespri

@Robusto Possibly. But here is what makes me think so. I tried to understand some Finnish from a tin can that I have on my shelf. And I talked to a Russian person who claimed to know Finnish. I myself never studied Finnish. We had an extended discussion on that topic, and then she pointed me to some page in Finnish, that I pasted to Google translate. When I continued conversation with her based on that translation, she was amazed.

How do you know this, asked she. Well google translate said I. I was never be able to get anything nearly useful from google translate how did you do that? So it turned out that if I pasted the same Finnish text and try to translate it to Russian, I get complete gibberish. In English it's at least readable, to an extent.

Passage. Let me try.

Robusto

Choose one of middling difficulty, but otherwise random.

Don't look at the English translation before sending it to chat.

zespri

@Robusto I'm trying to find something appropriate. I think Russian classics would be a good choice if the language would not be a bit outdated.

Robusto

11:40 AM

In the case of Russian classics, Google might have the benefit of good English translations already.

RegDwigнt

@Robusto yeah no shit, I've dreamt of that on more than one occasion. If some bozo sucks ass, or is plain AFK, and the top pro gets killed, he should be allowed to take control over that bozo's tank and fight on.

Robusto

Yep.

Anyway, @zespri, let's ask @Reg to weigh in on this issue, since he is a native Russian speaker who is also extremely well qualified in English.

RegDwigнt

Wha, there's an issue? Oh to the em to the gee.

Robusto

Resolved: Google Translate is better at translating to English than from English.

RegDwigнt

I, um. How should I put it. I just never translated anything into English using Google Translate.

Robusto

11:42 AM

Yeah, but you've fucked around with it.

RegDwigнt

Or Russian, come to think of it.

@Robusto yeah no, that was mostly German. And from English.

Robusto

My position is that Google Translate sucks ass pretty much. Whatever languages are chosen.

RegDwigнt

Most of the time what I do when fucking around with it is either chain translations, or back and forth translations.

@Robusto my position is that it has no other choice but to suck ass, now and forevermore. My position is also that way too few people understand that.

Robusto

I know whenever I need to understand something from a language I simply don't speak, what I get in English is barely at the gibberish level.

zespri

@Robusto ok, time for me to go to bed. Consider me schooled properly, if that gives you any satisfaction, and thank you for the chat. I enjoyed it in a kind of masochistic way.

Robusto

11:46 AM

I hope it wasn't too painful.

RegDwigнt

Gibberish is actually great. What's worse is if it appears not to be quite gibberish enough, and you seem to be able to discern a meaning, but it is a completely wrong meaning.

Robusto

I will concede that point.

RegDwigнt

When it translates "Friday" as "Thursday", you just don't know that you are being misled. You cannot know.

11:58 AM

Round and back with an American folk song verse:

When I was a young man I'd never been kissed. I got to thinking over just what I had missed. I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, Oh Lord, you know I kissed her again. She had kisses sweeter than wine.

Cuando yo era un joven que nunca la habían besado. Me puse a pensar sobre lo que yo había perdido. Me conseguí una chica y yo la besé y luego, Oh Señor, tú sabes que yo la besé de nuevo. Ella tenía besos más dulces que el vino.

When I was a young man who had never kissed. I started thinking about what I had lost. I got a girl and I kis…

Not altogether horrible, but clearly a lot of the intent gets planed off.

@tchrist could comment on the Spanish translation, which seems too English to me, syntactically speaking.

Which reminds me, where is @tchrist these days? Hope he's not in the hospital or something.

user116848

@RegDwigнt Non-artificial intelligence is a good thing. But no one has that much free time to translate things for all the world. I mean how many sentences can a person program there that are all grammatical and without errors.

RegDwigнt

@Arrowfar why would you want to translate things for al the world?

Robusto

Al the World?

Sounds like a wrestler.

RegDwigнt

Any given person, at any given time, just needs to translate into exactly one language, and quite typically that language never ever changes.

user116848

@RegDwigнt Heh, I mean people asks for translations there all the time :)

RegDwigнt

12:03 PM

And since the entire Internet is in English, the only language you really ever need to translate from is also only just one.

user116848

But I remember that before Google Translator it was much more worse.

user116848

Now at least we get the idea.

RegDwigнt

@Arrowfar that's what translators are there for. You might as well say, no one has that much free time to make three million different shoe models for the entire world. And yes, nobody has that free time. Which is why it's a profession, and the output costs money. And so you go to a shoe store, and pay, and lo and behold, the entire world is walking around in three million different shoe models.

Robusto

I loathe QA people who say they're "not seeing the changes on [this or that] test server" and then reopen a ticket. WTF am I supposed to do about it? Talk to the build engineer.

RegDwigнt

You are supposed to get them a pair of glasses as a present. Duh.

And tell them their attitude is unacceptably self-centric. Just because they can't see Saturn, doesn't mean it's not there.

Robusto

12:07 PM

I'm kinda puzzled why GT would render "Ella tenía besos más dulces que el vino" as "She had kisses sweeter than wine kissing." There is no progressive form in that Spanish, and it literally translates as "She had kisses more sweet than the wine."

user116848

@RegDwigнt Yeah.

RegDwigнt

You know what, Google are themselves puzzled how that can happen. Otherwise they would have long fixed it, right.

user116848

Yeah I wonder the same thing.

user116848

It seems complex.

RegDwigнt

It's probably the InsertRandomWords() routine, but you can never know for sure. You can never know.

Robusto

12:11 PM

There's probably a certain percentage of verbs that get pushed to progressive in Language => English translations.

The trick is to be smart about that.

And they haven't really quite mastered the trick.

It probably looked and saw it hadn't had a progressive verb in a while, so why not put one in?

Which is the same strategy employed by Joe Stupid taking a test.

RegDwigнt

Probably. It just never says anything about the wine kissing. It never says anything about any verb. So that can't be right. We need a verb! And no, "had" is not a verb, go away with your reasoning.

Robusto

Like I said, I'm kinda puzzled.

Yes, I know. I've been there in many, many circumstances. I'd like to start back on my journey home later today. It was 542 miles getting here on I-70 to US-6 to I-15. I'll likely go back on I-80 though for speed.

@MattE.Эллен That has been shown to be a mistranslation.

RegDwigнt

Which is the opposite of certain, Kant would point out.

@Robusto yes, the word for "red" was mistranslated as "pretty", to make up for the mistranslation of that square.

Mitch

@Arrowfar there's no solving, there's just incremental progress. more work has been done on european languages so their quality is better (also they have a lot of overlapping vocabulary). There hasn't been as much translation work on CJK or Arabic to English

@Arrowfar MT was one of the first classic AI problems claimed to be solvable in a couple years (in the 60s). The progress since then has been incremental, and only recently has it been workable. Workable is insanely great. Years of rocket science in translation got a few percent accuracy a year, but 50% accuracy is terrible, and 52% is still unusable even if thousands of people died in the trenches to get those 2%.

RegDwigнt

Whaaaa? My mother was a saint.

Whoa whoa whoa, Christopher Lee is dead.

Robusto

Whoa, you're right.

RegDwigнt

This can't be right. Michael Jackson and Joe Cocker and Johnny Cash and James Brown and Elvis I could understand. But Christopher Lee is immortal. This is a canard if there ever was one.

How else could he possibly get that record for starring in more movies than all other actors combined?

Mitch

@RegDwigнt I know! That plane wing is totally kinked!

> Welcome to the admiration channel to watch the beautiful women. We admire all what beautiful women have: the face, brasts, legs. Pls, comment culturally. Have a good fun. Channel is for adults.

paid subscription youtube channels are a thing, apparently

RegDwigнt

False advertising. I clicked and there were no the beautiful women, and least of all brasts.

They seem to take "admire" literally, a mire of ads.

Matt E. Эллен

did you comment culturally?

RegDwigнt

Yes, and further following the instructions I even plsed culturally.

Matt E. Эллен

how kind of you

RegDwigнt

It is between seven and eight kind, actually.

well done, SmokeDetector

RegDwigнt

Nah, I see a lot of room for improvement.

I'd expect such important information to be forwarded directly to my inbox.

@RegDwigнt chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/22137156#22137156

consider it done

RegDwigнt

No, my private email inbox please.

Why would you post for me on this site that you posted something for me on this site.

All the while the billboard two miles down the road is sitting idle.

It could be telling me how to get my UK passport, but it ain't even telling me I won't make UK my new home.

Very inefficient communication!

Matt E. Эллен

I know. I know! sob I'm not good at communicating

why do you think I sit behind a desk, instead of in front of one?

RegDwigнt

2:49 PM

I can't tell the reason, because you never communicated it to me!

Is it because of the driving on the wrong side of the road thing?

Matt E. Эллен

damn you, god, for making me this way!

@RegDwigнt I've never driven on the wrong side of the road. whichever side I'm on is the correct side

RegDwigнt

I know I know that's why in England they wear their underwear as overwear and don't even notice.

Matt E. Эллен

is the opposite of "completely different" "not at all the same"?

RegDwigнt

And that's why they will say "completely different" to mean "more of the same thing".

Fuck it, jinx.

Matt E. Эллен

:D

RegDwigнt

2:53 PM

It only goes to show that what we are saying is true.

@MattE.Эллен brasts R hawt

Matt E. Эллен

@RegDwigнt would I lie to you, baby?

False advertising. I clicked and there were no the beautiful women, and least of all brasts.

There was Ewan McGregor who told me to brass off.

Matt E. Эллен

@Robusto culturally

I hope you had a good fun

RegDwigнt

I am not quite as determined in my support. I merely do not hope you had a bad fun.

@RegDwigнt The English are supermen! And fried Mars bars are their kryptonite.

Thanks, Scotland.

Matt E. Эллен

We are super, thanks for asking!
