AI tool for book translation

Can someone recommend the best AI translation tool for me given the following factors:

- cost is not an issue

- the tool should remember style guidelines and terminological decisions and apply them consistently

- the tool should translate larger sections requiring a prompt for every paragraph

- I need to translate books from source languages which I do not understand (e.g. Latvian), so I cannot check the accuracy

- it should translate idiomatically and localize as instructed

I am currently using ChatGPT Plus (paid subscription) and the workflow as well as the results are catastrophic. I have to upload the books page by page, into the chat (it doesn't handle documents as well as chat messages), which takes ages for 400-page books, and the software doesn't apply any of the instructions I provide, except in the first page or two translated after they have been submitted. It cannot even remember a basic orthographic rule (it omits diacritics in the target language). Repeated admonishments do not achieve anything. It also does not translate naturally at all - the output screams AI. Would switching to another tool, e.g. DeepL, help, or is this simply the limit of current technology?

MVP brand

Can someone help me identify the manufacturer of this Daihatsu Compagno:

The signature seems to read MVP. I also have a Nissan Skyline with the same marking:

When I look for these models online, I get hits for Ebbro models, but Ebbro models say Ebbro on the base:

▲ 5 r/POTS

Bad flareup after eating instant noodles

I have had POTS for almost two years and a half, and during the last year, I've mostly kept it under control, but tonight I'm going through a very bad episode, which reminds me of what I endured in the first weeks after developing the illness as a post-viral complication. The trigger was instant noodles which I had for dinner. Almost as soon as I finished my meal, I could barely breathe, my heart started to pound in my head, my vision became blurry, and I developed a migraine. My brain feels like it's swelling and trying to burst out of my skull. I can't find a comfortable position, and whatever side I lie on, within seconds I get a sensation of my brain sagging and pressing on my spine. I almost started to worry that I had been poisoned with some neurotoxin. Two hours later, I think I feel a bit better, but still horrible.

As is well known, large, carbohydrate-intense meals exacerbate POTS symptoms, but I have pasta for dinner every day, and today's portion was only slightly larger, so I think that I'm reacting to one of the ingredients.

I also don't know I should consider this a POTS flare-up, or just a migraine. I don't know if the distinction is relevant for me, since I developed migraines along with the POTS and I think that they're related.

I also think that I might have overexerted myself - I am under severe stress at work and I've also been travelling almost every weekend, which is very exhausting, especially the packing, car rides, unpacking and adjusting to hotels.

Small oval black bug found on kitchen towel (Skopje)

Can someone help me identify this small black bug I found on a kitchen towel next to the sink. It was about the same size as the varied carpet beetles I have encountered many times, possibly a bit smaller. It was black as shown on the picture (it's not because of the lighting) and crawling along the towel. I have never seen one like this before.

The location is Skopje, North Macedonia.
