I assume that whoever wrote it just has absolutely no mental model of security, has never been on the attacking side or realised that clients can't be trusted, and only implemented the OTP authentication because they were "going t

My benchmark is at https://nuenki.app/blog . I'm currently working on a better one. Toucan did take off; it's fairly well known, and if their website is anything to go by they have hundreds of thousands of people

I'm the "Nuenki guy"!?!? Thanks! And yeah, I used the same data source, just heavily processed. It's a great project! I like your approach. I wish English used neologisms more; I use them occasionally, and it's just

Not when they're in normal conversational mode, but it likes to use them when it's trying to be persuasive/stylised/make a point. But it's more the "It's not x; it's y" and "that thing sayin

That'd be interesting. I'm thinking of writing a guide on how to identify LLM prose, since I seem to be a bit above average at it.

```In a modern conflict zone, jamming L-band means blinding drones, degrading targeting, and cutting off ISR. It’s not accidental. It’s deliberate. The international treaties that say “don’t transmit here”? Those don’t matter much when you’

This is neat. I notice that you do similar reverse lemmatisation as my Wiktionary API wrapper: https://dictionary.nuenki.app/get_definition?language=Finnis... Feel free to use it if you like, it's practically free, and

Is it just me or is cybersecurity... Calming down? I feel like a few years ago there was constant news of ransomware, intrusions, vulnerabilities, etc, but more recently the defensive side seems to have the upper hand.

Thanks for letting me know. The front page items are translated with DeepL, which is used for text that's currently visible. My benchmark claims that it's actually pretty good at French (I haven't got data for Danish) - one o

You can get definitions when you hover, but it depends on the language - it uses Wiktionary. For some languages it's available but disabled by default. You can change it in the extension popup under "Hover Behaviour".

Thanks! I'm glad people like it; I'm hopeless at marketing it to Language Learners:tm:, but programmers seem to love it and it's nice to get some positive feedback. DeepL is actually pretty limited in what it supports. Unless

Language transfer is rather good. I'm not quite sure what it does differently, but there's a reason people recommend it.

I built https://nuenki.app , which follows a fully immersive approach by immersing you while you browse the web. It translates entire sentences at your knowledge level into the target language, and you hover for definitions/

I built a tool[0] that gives you constant input at your level as you browse the web, so you don't need to take time out of your day. You can just learn a little as you browse, and let it compound over time. It works by estimating the d

Right, I think I'm extrapolating from pop culture and a distorted lens on the internet.

As a Brit, the concept of "My lawyer" is slightly unfamiliar. The average Brit doesn't "have a lawyer"; they would only find a lawyer if they had a specific need, eg being accused of a crime or wanting to write a co

Of sure you find it hard to tell the two away! You lack the gear for tide pull test, and they feel the same here and local. I hate this.

This is actually pretty cool. I don't have an immediate use for it, but I'm making a mental note, because I'm sure something will come up soon.

That's not why I oppose banning advertising. I've made a product. The people who use it, like it. But I have no online following or presence, and I'm really not the kind of charismatic person who could build one. All the &quo
