Anyone who's learned a language to an advanced level knows that after a while you have to use the language itself to learn the language. You can't keep relying on translations because there are so many language-specific and culture-specific nuances that translations can't quite capture.

It's all very satisfying: the animations, the chopping, the graphics, and the sounds. I spent more time than I should have chopping splitting firewood.

I'm glad someone finally mentioned this. These are cute little interactive demos, not games. It has made me appreciate real game design much more.

Awesome landing page
I tried the japanese version. I like that you are using real Japanese language YouTube videos. You can see the kanji on the videos though so it kind of defeated the point. Hide the video? Great idea though and very fun too.
I've been writing for years and never used en or em dashes before LLMs.

Re:A combo of ChatGPT and spot EC2 instances screwed me over on Thursday January 02, 2025 @12:55PM (#42576762)
The problem is that these LLM responses, even if they're browsing the web to get data, are accumulated from random blog posts instead of the official AWS docs. If they're not browsing the web then it's giving you outdated data it was pre-trained on.
