Thanks! Earlier in the project I tried to find a way to generate English but with Chinese grammar - something like “you need to grab your shoelaces and tie them well” - as a way to help memorize grammatical structures. But I didn’t get very

I use GPT-4 for this kind of exposition too. If you haven’t come across Pleco [1] yet, I can highly recommend it. It’s a high quality Chinese-English dictionary with a lot of helpful features for reading Chinese One feature I use a lot is t

Happy to share, thanks! I also use GPT-4 for explaining the meaning of sentences in more detail (as in JimDabell’s comment). Often my questions are like “how would a native speaker say this colloquially” - I’ve found it really valuable to b

That’s awesome! I hope you have fun too :)

Just for fun, I’m trying to force it to misinterpret what I’m saying by changing “dei tie” to “di tie” (as in subway). It really doesn’t want to interpret it differently! I think “shoelaces” must be such a strong signal of context for the L

After working on this project, I’ve started using MS translate as my go-to app if I want to translate an existing sentence. Previously I tended to use Google Translate by default. But I’ve genuinely been surprised by the differences between

I have seen some variation in the interpretation - although it does seem to be pretty consistent. When I enter “服了u” into unscrambler I get the interpretation “I give up” every time I try it

I’ll check out those models - thank you! According to my wife (a Chinese native speaker), GPT-3.5 is bad at outputting Chinese but GPT-4 does a good job

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve found it very helpful for staying in the zone and getting better at “thinking” in Chinese If you start learning Chinese again in the future, I hope you find it useful too!

As lavrton said in a sibling comment - simpler integration. I can't speak to Dropbox integration, but every time I've looked at integrating with Google Drive I have felt my development effort growing, not shrinking. Puter also see

I agree, this opens up really interesting possibilities. Here's my understanding of how it works, based on the puter.js docs [1]: If I'm developing a frontend app that could benefit from cloud storage, I can load in puter.js as my

Your app is awesome, it's just so satisfying to use. Really fantastic job! My two cents on block insertion: Personally, I would love if Cmd+Enter inserts a new block at the very top For inserting a new block in sequence, I feel like Cm

I love the idea of interoperability between homegrown task managers. Another shameless plug: https://frogtab.com , which I’ve been building, following similar ideas of minimalism. I’m definitely going to check out your app when I

Does anyone use Kagi for Kids? The Starter level at $5/mo is enough for me so far, so $20/mo for Family is quite a jump. Would love to know whether Kagi for Kids is worth paying for

Honestly, I'd happily give my unused project domains to a fellow hacker who can make better use of them. (If interested, see my profile)

Several years ago I hacked together a little tool for exploring integer sequences that can be generated via matrix-vector products: http://dpw.me/clear-the-deck/ Sadly it's not as functional as it once was (sequen

I think you mentioned in the podcast that managing integrations is one of the toughest parts of your whole operation. (Apologies if I am misrepresentating what you said.) I can 100% believe that embracing failure is the only realistic way t

Just what I was thinking! I find things like this fascinating. Ever since discovering quines, I've thought that it would be neat to use some kind of quine as humanity's radio "calling card" in space. As a puzzle/jok
