Agreed, languagetransfer is fantastic. Much better than any "AI tutor".

All my smartphones lasted 4+ years, except ironically the FP3 that only lasted 2 years. I really wanted to like it, but assembly quality was terrible, battery was falling on the fl…

As Woody Allen said: ChatGPT is a meaningless autocomplete, but as far as meaningless autocompletes go, its pretty damn good.

Ask gemini to summarize. Its pretty great actually, it gives you bullet points, each with a link to its timestamp

Looks nice, but what is the value proposition? Why this versus many other distraction free editors?

Good idea, what a can of worms this seems. Can model providers be trusted to not be paid by advertisers? Can brands effectively influence how models react to them and their competi…

This is a great idea / concept! I think you need to inject some semantic knowledge in the relations, f ex. "low vitamin d levels Is Good For chronic metabolic disease" is not very …

> Learning is a lifelong task and becoming proficient in a language does not mean you will stay proficient in a language Agreed, but most people see it anyways as a journey from po…

This is actually a great question, since best-selling novels are, most of the time, not particularly good, and rely heavily on trends and established patterns; precisely what LLMs …

Because duolingo is designed for addiction (that's how they make money), not actual learning (learning would mean you'd stop using the thing, no good for stakeholders). There is no…

For those who tried both: Kagi or Perplexity? I'm considering them both, buy I'll only pay for one...

What an embarrassing shit show. But that has nothing to do with being a "beacon of freedom" nor any other libertarian mantra. It has to do with corruption and exploiting legal loop…

By that definition, the entropy of a game of chess decreases with time because as the game moves on there are less possible legal states. Did I get that right?

hey everyone, let's all abuse studio Ghibli, it's free!

wow, excellent job here!

I wished for the opposite: the most interesting content that failed to go viral...

And TSMC should accept any tax imposed without further consideration. Good luck to Nvidia, Apple, and the rest finding competitive alternatives.

For a HN post, you need to show an actual product that we can try, not just a demon or screenshot

Reading Borges is anything but easy. It requires a certain state of mind. I myself would pick Cortazar over Borges any day, buy I have appreciated some of his writings.

This is showing 0 respect for studio Ghibli. Just because Japanese copyright laws are permissive, doesn't mean you should abuse them.

Definitely we should not support the US free speech where one can say any harmful shit and lie deliberately, but can't show tits because tits are "obscene". You can keep those valu…

I don't see the point of this. Recognizing a language is not the same as learning it, and of course subtitles (on a language you don't understand!!) distract you from even recogniz…
