Is IA something different from AI? Or maybe just the French version ("intelligence artificielle" I imagine...)
My feeling is that a lot of Meta's AI/ML work actually ties into the AR/VR long-term dream. How do you make the so-called metaverse alive? By having people design it themselves. They're not going to do that in Maya, that's for sure. But if they could create virtual spaces and virtual people with Holodeck-style natural language instructions...
- giancarlostoro 4y agoCould just be a small typo too
- vanilla_nut 4y agoMaybe they mean "information architecture." Facebook does produce Docusaurus, after all, one of the best documentation platforms out there today :)

- LtdJorge 4y agoLatin languages use IA
- rvnx 4y agoI apologize, my French accent broke into the wild. Yes, it's totally AI, and IA is the French version :)
- yencabulator 4y agoTo complete the joke, Information Architure (IA) = Architecture de l'Information (AI).
- joseda-hg 4y agoI've been known to mix both when switching context between Spanish and English Programmers in particular tend to overuse anglicisms, and often I end up mentally doing spanglish in my head, "Necesito este value" "Este command deberia hacer esto" "Este iterator va a hacer $something a este object"
- Firmwarrior 4y agoHaha, I noticed my coworkers do that when they're speaking Hindi or Chinese too. All the key words are in English, so you step in and say "Oh, you guys are talking about that iterator bug?" and they're shocked: "Wow, you speak Chinese?"
- nneonneo 4y agoChinese, unlike Japanese or Korean, lacks a consistent phonetic mechanism for "importing" foreign words. Phonetic approximations are, with few exceptions, limited to foreign names. As such, practically every bit of jargon is semantically translated (examples include 电脑 "electronic brain" for computer, 端口 "end opening" for port), but since most programming is done in English-based languages, it's not uncommon for Chinese programmers to be more familiar with the English jargon.
- arcticbull 4y agoI don't know how you'd better express 'port' than end-opening. After all it refers to the place where boats are loaded and unloaded. Honestly the semantic translation seems a far more apt term. I guess there's something like 港 but that's probably just more confusing.
- q7xvh97o2pDhNrh 4y ago> Honestly the semantic translation seems a far more apt term. That's interesting. For me, the port metaphor makes me think data port, which seems like a pretty apt parallel to the flow of goods at a shipping port. Different metaphors for different folks, I suppose.
