From the perspective of wanting to maintain the integrity of the American federal government, it seems like all this DOGE stuff (and the whole Trumpist movement in general) serves …

It seems to be an article about all those "harmless" lies we tell students. The vast majority of people think mathematics is about numbers, when it is actually about relations, and…

OP here, I'm adding a feature that will allow users to save specific words to lists, and export the lists in formats that can be imported to flashcard apps.

For anonymous users, I'm using OpenNMT, via Argos. Logged in users get DeepL translations, which correctly translates 气功师.

Thank you, and thanks for checking it out! I use Pleco almost every day :)

I did! Jieba is the first step in my segmentation pipeline. As far as I can tell, Jieba's default config tends to work better for simplified, but in my case the custom dictionary I…

It supports traditional and simplified, as well as pinyin and bopomofo :) It's already possible to switch instantly between pinyin and bopomofo, and I'm working on letting users sw…

Thanks for the kind words, and the bug report! The (awful and incorrect) translation you've pointed out comes from the segmenter being too greedy, not finding the (non-existent) wo…

'"Tradition" is a set of solutions for which we have forgotten the problems. Throw away the solution and you get the problem back.' This is, by far, my most conservative opinion. C…

Got it, thanks!

Could you post the text you used? This kind of thing goes straight into my unit tests. I'm also working on showing all the pronunciations/definitions for a given hanzi, it should b…

Thanks for the kind words! I'm using Jieba[0] because it hits a nice balance of fast and accurate. But I'm initializing it with a custom dictionary (~800k entries), and have added …

I've built mandoBot, a web app that segments and translates Mandarin Chinese text. This is a Django API (using Django-Ninja and PostgreSQL) and a NextJS front-end (with Typescript …

Seems like a straightforward case of malpractice. The guy had every ability to double check the hallucinated references, but didn't do so; he used AI to replace his own expertise, …

I can't get mad at this, it's so spot-on. "Predictions for 2025 Personal Projects Will start working on a novel semantic search engine for Chinese literature, combining their inter…

Yes.

Imho opinion, and I'm no expert, but this has been working well for me: Segment the texts into chunks that make sense (i.e. into the lengths of text you'll want to find, whether th…

This write-up makes the erroneous assumption that he's choosing randomly. He himself says, in this same write-up, that he's choosing adversarially. Nice write-up anyway, and yes, B…

It's not a "Chinese mythical book", it's one of the classical novels of Chinese civilization. Think of it as a cross between Lord of the Rings and The Iliad, but containing extensi…

Orbital archeology would be an amazing subject for science fiction. Indiana Jones meets Gravity

Thanks for your perspective. I've known and lived with several people who have ADHD, and you've expressed exactly the perspective I expected to hear from them. "Games as treatment"…

AFAIK several cloud services rely on requirements.txt for deployment.
