wut!? did some bagget french kissed your mom or something?
Comment on Kyutai is a French AI research lab with a $330 million budget that will make everything open source

What use would an AI be if it was made by French developers? The source would likely be in French (i.e. Variables, functions, objects names as well as comments). Yes, they are that in love with their own language. Check out their names for about everything related to computers…

Let me guess, you are a murcian who only understands english.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No, I’m not, but I had to fight with a source where the original author was no longer available - and everything was in French. It sucks.

Must be really difficult being from Spain and only knowing English
Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social 11 months ago
Must be very difficult to be a silly and try to troll. If you had put as much effort into searching on the internet as my comment history to speculate where I'm from, you would know that in spain (depending on the region) it's mandatory to learn up to 4 languages.
Skua@kbin.social 11 months ago
I've not looked at your comment history at all, I was just making a silly joke about how you wrote "Murcian" instead of "Murican". No harm intended

Isn’t it Quebec(Canada) you’re thinking about?
Ive never seen french code in my jobs, it’s in English, Most Frameworks are in English anyway so why would they code in French
PHP Symfony is from a french company, and it’s in English, docs also available in English
And there might be translation of english words in French yes, how is it crazy, that’s the definition of a language otherwise we would all have the same words for everything and therefore the same language

As a SW Engineer from Germany, you will be surprised how much code exists in other languages. But I would expect companies on the edge of technology, who are either working closely with universities or with open source, that they usually chose English.
Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 11 months ago
In Quebec all code must be in both official languages, Maple and C

Seriously, all code produced by French devs are in English minor a few personal projects

I’ll take this opportunity to highlight that Scikit-Learn (Open Source ML library) is developed in large part by INRIA (based in Paris) and people have been relying on their code for preprocessing, baselines, and the rest for a long time. And all of the documentation is in English.

On the other side, MicMac which is by far the best free photogrammetry package, is developed by France’s IGN and it’s loaded with French comments, function and variable names etc…
However the English wiki has come a LONG way since I first had to try to figure it out, and while it’s still much more of a box of tools and parts than a single click app, it’s likely gone from “set of blueprints and sack of unsorted bolts” to “kit car with rolling chassis”

The difference here is that MicMac was probably developed as an internal tool, with no intention to distribute it at first.

Good for them. I has different experiences.

Meh most software is largely in English. It’s not quite like commercial piloting but it’s pretty prevalent

Eh get the AI to translate the code to your language of preference.
Personally as an Italian, I think it would be good for Europeans to learn other languages aside from English… And the most widespread are French and Spanish.

I went through school, having classes for Spanish for 4 years and Italian for two. It was obligatory to choose a third language. The second I was done with school, I had already forgotten everything I learnt of those languages. If I am not gonna use those languages daily I will forget them. It was a monumental waste of the students time. Now I have a spouse that speaks another language, that was never an option to learn in school. We both speak english though. There is little way to predict what languages will be useful for a student. English as a second language is a good bet. 99% will never benefit from a third language. They should have taught computer science or something instead. That is my opinion.

Probably not, this is Quebec. I’m in a french lab and everything is written in English. You don’t really have choice as you are collaborating internationally. Even if the lab is based/funded in France, not all of the people inside will be french. They plan to have scientific advisors that are not french according to the link.

I was assuming they would not self sabotage like that but if they do then you can use a llm to fix that issue with tranlations
