Re:Vanna.ai: Chat with your SQL database on Monday January 15, 2024 @10:00AM (#39001698)
I'm rather confused with the use of chat with database. If we don't know what is in the database, how do we know which questions to ask?
Re:Write story one line at a time on Thursday August 10, 2023 @05:00PM (#37081720)
How can we write a story together? Simple, I write a sentence and you write the next. It's fun but do you think 10 Leo will paint a Mona Lisa with 10 times less or 10 times better?

the code is very elegant, simple. Thank you for sharing the source code.

wow, that's more than reasonable. thank you, looking forward to your upcoming updates.

I agree but 11labs can be too expensive something transient like a conversation. Maybe give users a choice, those who pay for it will get it. But personally it's not really a deal breaker because 11lab doesn't have Japanese and Mandarin which I'm learning, haha!
Re: on Thursday August 03, 2023 @04:32AM (#36982991)
the app is great. Thank you for making this. The app encourages me to talk more about the topic, which I know sometimes human teachers don't do. I like the stop and start button so I can pause and think before I speak. I was speaking Mandarin and Japanese. It responds well when the my transcript is gibberish (my pronunciation is not perfect).I know some people will point out that it lacks phonetic feedback. But the point of apps like this is not giving feedback because to help learners build up confidence. Of course, some feedback in any form would be great. But this app is multilingual, so it's hard to you will have to prioritise some languages first. Overall, simple but effective. I know I'm being greedy, and I know it doesn't make sense when comparing with other traditional apps like Busuu or Pimsleur. But if you allow decent number of conversations with affordable price (netflix or spotify subscription price :)). I would consider buying it.
why are you being so hard on a solo entrepreneur? I'm sure making a sleek service like that takes plenty of all nighters. He is even offering a free service costing him server and costs to make API calls to an AI service. If you're concerned about privacy, be more supportive, help him sort this out or at least give him some time to sort it out. Don't assume he's being dodgy. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Fantastic, now we have duopoly
totally agree, what makes me hesitant to contribute is whether the site is going to defunct next year.
nope, unfortunately it isn't. Learners needs tons of comprehensible input before they actually produce anything.
this is paradoxical. A native speaker struggles to understand non-native one. Why do we expect AI to understand non-native speech?

can I put the card back to the deck?
Re:Why didn't DeepMind build GPT3? on Tuesday February 28, 2023 @07:29AM (#34968527)
May be you should ask GPT whether word or protein is more important :)
Re:Why didn't DeepMind build GPT3? on Tuesday February 28, 2023 @07:28AM (#34968521)
A less well-known problem is by no means a trivial one. Only time can tell whether prediction of protein folding or prediction of next words for prompt is more important. But they are like apple and pear.
thanks, are you considering a web plug-in?
Re:Show HN: Turning books into chatbots with GPT-3 on Wednesday January 25, 2023 @03:36AM (#34515869)
I asked the same question and it gives the same answer for every book. What's the point?
I'd agree but it depends on what AI engine that he uses to generate the conversation
in an app like this, you should be transparent about whether you store users' data
who said it's going to replace human conversation? You can go to Italki and speaking to a person in any language with as little as 10$. It's a dream to all language learners to have safe practice environment. Your other arguments are the as same as those made with textbook which is rigid and "biased" by the authors.
I think he has Japanese
I have to disagree. The only two benefits of making output early is 1) to have more comprehensible input from interculators, and 2) to have constructive feedback. If you have neither of these, benefit of producing output is questionable.
Re:Show HN: Power your study habits with AI question generation on Sunday September 11, 2022 @06:11PM (#32803767)
very interesting. How is it better than other similar question-generating service?
Good to know someone is working on this :))
what inspired you to make this?
Re:Goodbye Medium, hello Ghost on Tuesday July 05, 2022 @04:24AM (#31985743)
host your videos on your website and ask yourself who's going to watch it. People forget what community values these platform bring.
this is great. Thanks for sharing. Just one question: what library did you use for processing videos?
Re:Show HN: Interval, CLIs in browser with no front end code on Wednesday June 08, 2022 @09:47AM (#31667282)
I came across the concept a couple of times but I find it hard to get excited. I still use C# to create tools. I have total control and not sure it's any less convenient than less-code platform like interval or even airplaine.

tbh, it's easier to find stuff on Google than in my local storage.
