They are two separate skills, most obviously in languages such as Chinese or Japanese. If he can only read the sounds that is half the work, and is amazing on its own. I’ve started reading at 5 when my father was at home during a short peri

That’s sad to hear about, I understand why they did it, but I’m sure everyone that cared will be hesitant to ever spend anything on their trademark.

I can see colors on the periphery of my vision when black contrast with white too, and it is just... chromatic aberration from my glasses. Does not happen in a detectable level with my contacts.

If the phrases are found by yourself in context from your own exposure to the language, it is even better. I got introduced to this idea a few years ago from AJATT [1] and my personal experience is that it works very well. [1] https:/

I wonder how it compares with the current SuperMemo. I experimented with SuperMemo around 18 months ago, and it made me fall in love with SRS again. The main reason being the algorithm is less punishing when I skip a day. Maybe it has bette

I used it to get my Amateur Radio license, since a superset of the questions that can be in the test are public. I downloaded an existing deck and modified it so that only the correct answer is shown instead of multiple choices. I still can

When I was a kid, most of the foreign culture I was exposed from came from the US, and then Japan followed with a small amount. No wonder my second language was English and third language Japanese. Never heard a single word of Mandarin in a

Anki can import .csv files and if one of the column content is matching an existing item, it will update the contents of the card while keeping the repetition history. Think of it like including a column with unique keys. I know this is not

They will not even bother sending you an email explaining why, and you will not be able to ask it, because the system will just say your password is incorrect when you try to login or reset it. If you are on free tier, they have nothing to

The problem is once people pay for a service or invest time on learning a free platform, they will irrationally defend their decision to the point it’s almost impossible to get good recommendations on language learning tools online. Few pe

I did it with my X220 last year, it was almost painless because there are several tutorials that I could reference. There were two downsides, Windows 11 cannot sleep, or rather it sleeps but cannot wake up anymore, and you cannot adjust per

Sometimes I ask myself if Torvald's greater contribution to society wouldn't be Git, instead of Linux.

True. There’s a small bonus that trying to explain the issue to the llm may sometimes be essentially rubber ducking, and that can lead to insights. I feel most of the time the llm can give erroneous output that still might trigger some thin

Are you burning it as slow as possible? That can help a bit, but I’m almost sure you know about it.

Same experience on a PaperWhite 2, been using it for a long time. It is a good reason to look into rooting, PDF reflow and the function to remove margins make it possible (at least tolerable) to read PDFs when an .epub / .mobi is not a

The author mentioned Gemini sometimes refusing to do something. I’ve recently been using Gemini (mostly 2.0 flash) a lot and I’ve noticed it sometimes will challenge me to try doing something by myself. Maybe it’s something in my system pro

There are a few disadvantages, in sunshine/moonlight such as you still have monitor output, so you are stuck to the resolutions supported by your monitor and someone can see what you are doing. Of course there are workarounds like dumm

I definitely agree. I think this is something that is not so obvious at first glance, specially for software that is seen as less capable. The fact something is a well known free software program ensures a few extra features: it’s more like

Nice suggestions, I’ll be definitely trying numbat and hyperfine (I already use fd daily). I could see bat being useful only as the last program on a long pipe chain, but I really like xxd so I will pass on hexyl.

I did not know any other similar software, I learned Gimp first, so I have no previous bias. I use GIMP for simple things like fixing bad lighting in a picture, cropping or removing backgrounds. I think the most complicated thing I did was

So what you mean is that if the current train of thought is going in a direction we find to be not optimal, we could just interrupt it and hint it into the right direction? That sounds very useful, albeit a bit different than how current &q
