Matthew Perry: Friends TV comedy star dies at 54

I was having breakfast in a bakery in Prague, when I walked out and saw a bench with a plaque saying "in memory of Matthew Parry" that died in 2022.

I thought "aw man he's been dead for a year and I didn't know". I didn't realize it was a different last name.

This happened yesterday. When Mathew Perry was found dead. Imagine my face waking up and reading the news the next day...

Translating Latin demonology manuals with GPT-4 and Claude

Wow, that's really interesting!

I don't know much about how GPT4 is trained, but I'm assuming the model was trained in Portuguese to English translations somehow....

Anyway, considering that a) I don't know which type of Portuguese GPT4 was trained in (could be Brazilian as it's more generally available) and b) that text is in old (European) Portuguese and written in archaic calligraphy, unless the model is specifically trained, we just get close enough approximations that hopefully don't fully change the context of the texts, which it seems like they do :(
