    Was wondering the same, looks quite suspicious

    I've used https://github.com/kaegi/alass and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's not an easy problem to address automatically... Video players wouldn't want that in thei…

    For me it used to jump to the next chapter instead of the next page when reading Japanese novels but they fixed that bug in 5.0.

    Great, I already feel inferior. I only put an ASCII cat on my profile.

    I never expected the day would come when an AI to generate furries would be the top entry on HN.

    I always suspected governments desperately seek 2% inflation because they are long term borrowers.

    I've made my own mpv extension for Japanese subtitle analysis too. It can also create Anki cards automatically (with screenshot and audio). Having a scriptable media player is real…

    Well, if you really need the autoscale feature to handle sudden and ludicrous spikes of traffic, you will most likely also use a database that autoscales too. i.e. DynamoDB. For mo…

    You can look up words on the Kindle. And if you highlight them there are ways to access the highlighted sentences in a machine-friendly way (to i.e. export them to Anki).

    Indeed, you get high quality in context cards, something that is still missing from most Anki decks. The code is here https://github.com/pigoz/mpv-nihongo , keep in mind that a lot…

    I did something similar for myself using mpv's scripting interface (for Japanese immersion). I can press a button and have the current subtitle analyzed for words with mecab, or pr…

    I always found this system very interesting, since the citizen can decide how some of their tax money is spent (besides voting). On the other hand I have always lived in Northern I…

    The title kinda reminded of Evangelion where all the choices are made by 3 independent AI super computers with a majority vote.

    I have not open-sourced my code since it's a gross hack I did in one afternoon. It looks exactly like the screenshot of that project. Very interesting that I thought of the same so…

    I made something similar for Japanese learning, but instead of merging subtitles, I analyze the Japanese subs with mecab, look up the words I likely don't know based on their JLPT …

    Currently this is vaporware, but there are a lot of interesting ideas. Can't wait to get my hands on it. The syntax for Lenses is particularly cool imho. Since it's bootstrapped on…

    This look really nice! I contributed a lot of macOS related code to mpv, but even if the project has a huge user base of power users, developers, videophiles, it's quite hard to us…

    Of course I don't believe these countries demise is caused by longer working hours. I know Italy a bit more than Greece and the main problem there is decades of widespread corrupti…

    Several people argue that working long hours will have a negative impact on productivity. For example if you look at EU countries, the ones with the economy in worse conditions are…

    I am learning Japanese as well. Thanks for that NHK link that's a great resource, I love the furigana!
