Native Chinese speaker here. While Quazel has shown ability in understanding the context, its Chinese is not as authentic as that of a real teacher. Grammatically correct, but sounds weird. (for example, the phrase "I bet" is rarely used in Chinese)

Maybe the weirdness is an innate characteristic of machine translation, so I'm not being too harsh here. But IMO it cannot take the place of a human teacher (at least now).
Maybe I should have said for cheap

I tried out Hungarian — I speak it well but have an accent — and it got some parts wrong in the transcription that a human speaker would definitely understand. A second try was better but not quite 100% and I do worry about edge cases with languages that might have less training data or less precise classification. Also for Hungarian the response was a bit weird, though on topic.

I was using Google (via some speech to text notebook web app) to practice Thai pronunciation and had the opposite problem, where the machine understood when I’m pretty sure my pronunciation was bad enough an average Thai would not understand me.

That said, I would absolutely pay for something like this if it covered the language I’m trying to learn, even if imperfectly. And at least for beginners, forcing you to speak plainly is not necessarily a bad thing.

Any plans for pricing? Subscription or by use or…?

Accusations of hypocrisy is not an argument. Instead of accusing me (and all other detractors) of not criticizing others enough, please elaborate why this isn’t what I described.

Cloudflare (and others) keep releasing products which makes their central role more central and less vulnerable to competition. They ought not to do that, and I would argue for laws which prevent them from doing that if necessary.

Regarding the problem, this kind of problem should not be solved by one central actor. Instead, these problems should be solved by new network and protocol designs.

> "With a traditional WebRTC implementation, both the patient and therapist’s devices would talk directly with each other, leading to exposure of potentially sensitive data such as the IP address... When using Calls, you are still using WebRTC, but the individual participants are connecting to the Cloudflare network. If four people are on a video call powered by Cloudflare Calls, each of the four participants' devices will be talking only with the Cloudflare network. To your end users, the experience will feel just like a peer-to-peer call, only with added security and privacy upside.

Can someone clarify this? WebRTC is encrypted generally even if you leak metadata like IP address. Is Cloudflare stating they will be the middleman and therefore have access to the decrypted video stream?

It doesn't, of course, stop obesity directly. It somehow removes these individuals uncontrollable self-destructive compulsion to overeat. From the article:

Those are great counterpoints. Instead of relying on developers to keep their own apps up to date (you will always have a significant number of outliers), you enforce security better at the system level. Having more tightly scoped permissions and better sandboxing of runtimes solves this way better than depending on individual app developers to secure their own apps.

The main source of Russian gas in Europe was (and presently is) the Soviet pipeline system running through Ukraine.

I agree, this rhetoric is getting old.

So we're supposed to go use one of thousands of other tiny cloud platform providers?

Okay let's entertain that idea. The first bare minimum items on your vendor approval checklist are things like "can I trust this business to exist in 10 years" , "do they have enough resources to support me when shit hits the fan", and "are they mature enough to deliver on the shiny bullet points on their homepage and in their sales pitch".

Isn't this process going to naturally select a small handful of providers? What am I missing here?

As far as I understood it: the premise of added security is based on the fact that the other WebRTC peers only see Cloudflare's IP instead of your own. Also nobody knows who you are exactly talking to except Cloudflare. I would still expect that the media channels itself still remain encrypted when even when multiplexed by Cloudflare's network.

edit, yes it's encrypted:

Sort of agree, except Cloudflare's new products all seem to scale nicely off their core competencies, so they can offer them more cheaply and (hopefully) more reliably. Maps and mail were more like "ways of getting to know you really really well".

The thing is, when it comes to content this is basically the whole game. I once, after a disagreement with a friend of mine who is a designer about the difficulty of designing a non-doubly symmetric gear icon, burned around eight hours on designing some icons and put them up on The Noun Project. I'm not a designer, a structural engineer trained software dev with a decent eye, but no real training or work experience in design.

Over years the money kept coming in. I think I calculated it out to about $20 an hour after four or five years. I literally could have looked at this as a sort of bond, did the net present value accounting on it, and realized better gains than with software over the next 70 years of copyright.

This is with no automation or market research or experience or training.

Looking at your recent comment history, it’s difficult to take these claims seriously, given their repetition and wrongness. But in the effort of maintaining HN’s ethos I’ll assume good faith.

-Easily repairable may be a stretch, it is my understanding there are no shutoff valves along the length of the pipeline, so if they're all breached (4 pipes, each ~1200km long, slightly over 1m in diameter) then that's about 5B liters of water which needs to be pumped out after whatever damage done where they were punctured has been repaired.

(Presumably the water inrush is slowed by the escaping gas sufficiently so that the pipeline doesn't sustain further damage, but I'm just guessing. Being an electrical engineer this is way outside what I dabble with on a day-to-day basis)
Someone who is quite well-known, but maybe doesn't get all the credit they really deserve, is Sophie Wilson. Not only did she design the ARM instruction set, but before that she spent fifteen years working on BBC BASIC, the language that so many of us in the UK first learnt to program in. Not sure I would have had a career in the tech sector without her.
> I'm pretty sure if you do work, as contractually agreed, the contract requires you be paid for that work.

Yes it does (and I even said so in the comment you replied to), but compensation plans, raises, offer letters, etc... are not payment for work done, and are not contracts for work for the reason stated. These Amazon folks aren't getting a penny, and it absolutely stuns me that people want to argue otherwise.

I didn't know that you can compile individual modules with mypyc. That's very interesting since it allows a gradual adoption of the compiler, which really helps with big codebases.

Do you know if there are any requirements for which modules can be compiled? E.g. can they be imported in other modules or do they have to be a leaf in the import tree/graph ?
> forced updates amount to a tax that must be paid.

It's not a tax that must be paid. The developer can simply discontinue the older app, and not have to pay anything. So your analogy doesn't apply.

Switching an app from free to paid is a lot more work than recompiling and updating the app. There's a ton of coding and infrastructure you have to do. So it's not really saving you anything. The work of switching is a large upfront cost, which might not pay off, because apps don't magically sell themselves, you have to market them (which costs money!). This is especially a problem if you already have an app with low download numbers and low consumer awareness.
That works, I was more responding to using this random site instead of just CRA locally. Just seems odd.

Approximately 1/3 of the most popular websites use Cloudflare[1]. That's not really an argument against the fact that Cloudflare might want to be 'the central server of the internet', but it's a suggestion that they have some way to go yet. I'd bet that Google Tag Manager and some AWS services are integrated into more than 1/3.

It was never even intended to be used in a scenario where you have multiple application windows. When that UI was first introduced, you could have multiple windows per application, but only one application could run at a time. The behavior of having the menu bar scoped to the screen and the application not quitting when all windows were closed makes a lot of sense in that context.

Scanning through this I couldn't find much on the ratio of askers to askees (what the paper seems to call Receivers and Senders, respectively).

That seems like a major factor - there's the classic example of the IT person who's constantly being asked to help with relatively basic tasks. If that's their defined job, that's not a problem - but if they have other responsibilities that are not being met due to constant requests for assistance, it becomes a problem.

A similar example is found in areas with a high concentration of homeless people - i.e. if there is just one homeless person in a neighborhood, people might go out of their way to be helpful, or if they were asking for money people might be willing to give them a few dollars - but if there are 100 homeless people in a neighborhood, then treating them all equally would mean shelling out several hundred dollars, a more significant burden.

Once a problem becomes organizational-scale or societal-scale, then this focus on individual relationships no longer makes much sense. In the former case, hiring a person (or team) whose sole job is to provide technical assitance is the solution; in the latter, some kind of social safety net aimed at keeping people off the street is needed.
I personally agree with all of this, but the article touches on the reason why some companies basically force talks to sales. If a product is targeting small and mid sized companies, then technical people who want what you listed are going to have a large effect on the outcome. When you’re targeting large enterprises though, getting in conversations with people to try and work on getting the whole enterprise to adopt your product becomes more important. I think those targeting enterprise customers are accepting losing mid sized sales to increase their odds at capturing massive enterprise contracts.

As always, know your target and have a strategy to match.
That exists too but most backers are going to want either some sort of privileged access to content or a parasocial relationship with the creator.
My son built a small project where he tried to control the speed of a computer case fan with a (variable) resistor, shunting a % of the power to ground. Didn't work very well. The fan either ran full speed or not at all.

So he used a 555 chip to turn the setup into pulse-width modulation, with the variable resistor (pot) adjusting the pulse width.

Worked like a charm.
yea i think there's some unnecessary english intermediary layer here. starting a sentence with 所以 for "So" was a telltale sign to me as well. i suspect it goes chinese prompt -> english prompt -> english response -> chinese response rather than the more direct chinese prompt -> chinese response which would eliminate those translated englishisms.
