Even if the translation is perfect and "real-time", it comes with a significant latency that will make any conversation less natural. Good for some situations while traveling, not something you would want to rely on for everyday l

The API would provide pseudoranges and also the carrier phase on some phones, so it should be possible to calculate a solution with corrections.

It depends. Sometimes I really learn all the words before watching, sometimes I just watch something without any preparation. Adding too many words to Pleco SRS over a short time doesn't work well, you will get overwhelmed with reviews

Thanks! I've actually watched that one a while ago but it's not available on Netflix in my region so couldn't get the subtitles to add it to the list. The version on youtube only has hardsubs, unfortunately.

What's the name of the Taiwanese workplace drama? For people learning Mandarin I provide some information including word lists for a lot of shows on Netflix here: http://www.jiong3.com/gradedwatching/

I'm also guilty of this. Related to this thread, some years ago I made a puzzle game with Chinese characters where you get a bunch of components and try to combine them to as many characters as possible: http://www.jiong3.co

Not a structured method like Heisig but a dictionary for Pleco which uses actual etymology to explain characters: https://www.outlier-linguistics.com/collections/chinese

I've also learned the first 1500 characters using this book, not in one month though. The method works but has some problems. Maybe the biggest problem is that it completely ignores pronunciation. It does not help you remember the pron

The note for your employer does not contain any information about the reason for the sick leave in Germany, the one for your health insurance does.

The big advantage of flashcards in Pleco is the integration with the whole app. If you use the Pleco Reader, you can add new cards directly from the Reader. You can also create cards from dictionary entries and during studying check other d

This is neat! Also useful for this kind of analysis: https://www.chinesetextanalyser.com/ I'm doing something similar but instead of reading native books I'm still sticking to readers with increasing difficulty so

I learned a lot about aviation as a kid/teenager playing the Microsoft Flight Simulator. All the important instruments, flight control, radio navigation, flight patterns etc. Good times on Meigs Field.

I was only referring to the time. "halb drei" is two thirty, which usually means 14:30 unless you specifically say "in the morning". The action in [2] would probably be added if you add a full stop.

For DeepL: -> À trois heures et demie -> 14 h 30 du soir, -> À 14 h 30, -> On va au cinéma à 14h30. Correct for everything but the first, not sure why it added "du soir". For the a complete sentence "Um halb drei

How useful are visualizations like this for improving the performance of the model?

by wibr 9y ago
Unfortunately they don't provide any details about the model or the training. Would be nice to have an example as a baseline for real-time performance on iOS devices.

I tried it with a German poem (Erlkönig) and it seems like Shakespeare is in the training data... at least it's not regular English: "And if thou wilt not, I shall need violence."

You could also do that with inkscape on the commandline, not sure if it's faster, though...

I agree that it works well in the Espace, however my impression is that while in the Model 3 the display is in the center like in the Espace it's also closer to the driver, making the viewing angle larger...

This comes up basically everytime the Tesla Autopilot is discussed on HN since they rely mostly on cameras, except that they also have a front radar. In the end, we want self-driving cars to be better than human drivers, so they should also

I don't really believe that the hardware is enough for what they are trying to achieve. There is almost no redundancy e.g. on sensor level except for the front radar supporting the front cameras and ultrasound for close distances, howe
