course-nlp VS argos-translate

fast.ai also has an NLP course.

fastai already has a course that covers traditional nlp as well

My question: How do you think high-quality online resources such as https://missing.csail.mit.edu/, https://fullstackopen.com/en/, http://allendowney.github.io/ThinkBayes2/, https://www.fast.ai/2019/07/08/fastai-nlp/ compare to the online education from OMSCS? Do any of my reasons above ring false for you?

8 - Code-First Introduction to Natural Language Processing - fast.ai

fast.ai are doing the best work democratizing AI (machine learning and neural networks), including natural language

Can't recommend the course enough and it's incredible that such a quality resource is available for essentially zero cost

Interestingly, I think this is actually related to the offline translation features built into Firefox. Both are products of "Project Bergamot", but the Mozilla-maintained version was later merged into the Firefox application:

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/06/training-efficient-neural-...

https://github.com/mozilla/firefox-translations

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/t...

Extra webpage with screenshot and links, impossible to search for normally:

https://translatelocally.com/downloads/

Does one thing and does it well.

Oh— For downloading models, it's much easier to pipe/`xargs` `translateLocally --available-models` into `translateLocally -d` than go through the GUI.

Other self-hostable translation tools:

https://www.apertium.org/index.eng.html

- Traditional rule-based translation. Seems to work pretty well, but no good desktop frontend.

https://www.argosopentech.com/

- Works, but crashy desktop app.

https://libretranslate.com/

- API wrapping Argos Translate.

https://lingva.thedaviddelta.com/

- Google Translate scraper/privacy frontend.

https://euroglot.com/

- Proprietary, subscription trialware.

Consider a free software alternative to this translation service, such as Argos Translate or its web based frontend LibreTranslate.

LibreTranslate (which uses Argos Translate) from my understanding, but I don't think it can be used to translate entire websites

This looks pretty legit but I haven't tried it: https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate

Google translate is both censored and intentionally flawed. Here is a better option: https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate

Argos Translate can do everything that LibreTranslate can do on your desktop without uploading translated text to the Internet.

Argos Translate has open source neural machine translation https://github.com/argosopentech/argos-translate

I'm trying to upload a Mac app to the App Store and need to take screenshots at 1280x800, 1440x900, 2560x1600, or 2880x1800 resolutions. I'm developing on a Mac Mini connected to a HDMI display and I'm unable to run at any of the required resolutions. I'm currently trying to take the screenshots through VNC using the Mac Mini in headless mode. I have the VNC server running (System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management) haven't been able to set the resolution. How do you set the resolution when running a Mac in headless mode over VNC?
