It doesn’t have to be that way; learning a language is a long process. I took about 3 years to reach real practical fluency, and I still have to say “what?” more often than I’d like and I still need to learn a ton of more advanced vocabular

I disagree. In Spanish, learning the subjunctive is essential and that’s part of B2, and I think Duolingo did a good job of teaching it. If you can’t understand “Que te vaya bien” even completing a purchase at a store would be a bit difficu

So I agree they go over the top with it, _but_ I reached fluency in Spanish in about 2.5 years and Duolingo was an indispensable part of it. > if the users aren't actually becoming proficient by using the app Learning a language to

I also jumped out of the funnel and had this “I got tricked” feeling after selecting the story parameters. I’m someone who would use this, too. But I’m not giving you my personal information unless I can see what it does.

I don’t want to be negative, but writing a mathematical proof and planting a tree are about the worst metaphors I could possibly think of. Building a house is probably a better example for something that could be infinitely maintained and

Thanks for the explanation, it makes a lot of sense. One thing I keep wondering though is why we can’t teach them logic at some sort of base layer. Not to anthropomorphize, but couldn’t the actual next-token prediction itself embed some sor

How would you say they’re solutions in search of a problem? I engage LLMs more than 50 times a week to solve problems at work, in my personal projects, and in my personal life. I respect your opinion but thoroughly disagree. Just for my own

Passkeys do definitely make the mobile web experience better, but unfortunately they’re still not widely supported. I’m not saying mobile web apps can’t be good, but a native app allows for a lot of UX optimization.
