LluisGerard··on Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
I have a similar experience using Gemini for quick Catalan translations for iOS apps given enough context.

I once asked it to summarize The Hobbit in Catalan to explain it to my daughter before sleep. I was expecting a lot of mistakes as I see regularly if I ask anything in my native language when using GPT or Claude, but it was surprisingly good. I was going just to kind of skim ahead and retell it my own way, but ended up almost saying it verbatim because it was good already.

She loves Zelda so I asked it to explain the story of Breath of The Wild keeping the original names, and to make it fun, etc.. I was surprised again. I did retell some bits in my own style and taste but it is very convincing.

I haven't tried Catalan on newer models like GTP-6 Astra or Fable tho. We have all these benchmarks based on software development, and AGI, etc.. but it would be cool to have some language benchmarks for different communities.

As I work in english and use them in english, I wonder if using LLMs in a different language to code renders a different result as well. Like, if some of these benchmarks were made in other languages, would the result be similar.

LluisGerard··on YouTube should give users a way of knowing if a video has been altered
As others already commented a lot of content creators are getting copyright claims for just 5 seconds humming of a song and this allows them to edit that part and change it. It’s funny how people want to edit their tweets when they misstype something but don’t want others to do so. In a video of 10min there are a lot of mistakes to be made and things that can be changed.
LluisGerard··on Say Goodbye to Spain's Three-Hour Lunch Break
I moved to the UK but I still know many friends from Spain that work from 9am-1pm -> lunch break -> 3pm-7pm. Which means that in reality they can end up leaving the office at 7:30pm. By the other hand I worked for the Catalan TV for many years and they had very flexible hours and I could leave by 5pm, but it's not that usual in my experience (and that was 12 years ago).
LluisGerard··on Show HN: Smart bookmarks extension
Thanks! Not very intuitive. I thought that was making reference to your browser once installed, not as a "show me more" button.
LluisGerard··on Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?
I was also thinking about creating a stock screener but don't know where to get market data. Where do you get yours? Thank you!

I think your app could be better with some UX/UI re-thinking.

LluisGerard··on Google Blindness
They can pull an app out from the App Store but they never, ever had the ability to remove it from your phone.
