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.

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.

The NPM hack seems contained.

The phished dev said more people were affected.

Now all the dependent packages update, so if any other phished dev had harder to audit packages like stuff that contains binary blobs, they will now be integrated into everything.

If your tools have 2 billion downloads per week, you should get enough money for maintenance that you can hire two QA people who have to attest every release so if you get compromised it does not burn the web.
