AI Translation Evaluated: Effort and Risks

In march 2025 I decided to try LLM translation from German to English. I had given the original article to others via Google translate many times, and I had been asked to evaluate AI tools, so I decided to give ChatGPT a try for translating moderately complex text. It took about two hours of work over several days to fix up the translated article so it actually says what the original says, with corrections for a lot of subtle mistakes that corrupted even the core message. This article follows the process and evaluates the risks.

define-typed: efficient typechecks for Guile Scheme

If you want to add typechecks to Guile Scheme, you can follow the format by sph-sc, a Scheme to C compiler. It declares types after the function definition like this:

Keine leichten Antworten mehr

Je mehr ich über die Situation im Nahen Osten gelernt habe, desto unsicherer bin ich geworden, was die richtige Vorgehensweise ist. Jede einfach wirkende Antwort zerbricht.

Unicode pictograms to mark progressively rising values

For Ace Maths I searched for unicode icons to mark progression: show that you’re getting better. Since I found a lot of different options (from simple sparklines to a huge list of animals), I’m collecting them in this article.

Snippets with tipps and tricks for Python

Small Tips & Tricks for Python development. I’ve been programming a lot with Python until 2017 but took a long break. Now I’m more and more stepping in again because I’m using it at work. In this article I gather useful snippets I find along the way.

The Challenges of Our Time Are Not Technical but Social in Nature

I read a lot about new technologies. Technologies for health, the energy transition, the future of mobility, or mobile phones. And for many engineers, legal or societal issues are "non-problems." I used to see it that way myself. But when I look at the world, it is actually the opposite: Every technical challenge we currently face can be solved if we, as a society, decide to take it on together. The real problems, however, are not technical. They lie in deciding what matters most to us. Which challenges we want to solve.

The sad part about playing an interactive story with an anonymous DM is that when the DM disappears, you have no chance to find them again.

None.

But I enjoyed the Interactive Stories a lot while they lasted:

(link needs https://www.hyphanet.org ⇒ open as key)

And I hope the DM will log in again at some point.

Google informed me that the top page on my website by clicks in their search last month was

„Top 20 Latex Fonts“

https://www.draketo.de/anderes/latex-fonts

I created that page because I wanted to find the right font for a book and figured that I could publish the results.

⇒ always write what you care about. You just can’t know which of your articles will be important to others later on.

Do you see how much the feel of the book changes with the #fonts? Baskervald, Kepler, Iwona.
