Show HN: Chat app to learn with native speakers powered by AI
Hahaha. The man had a lot of wisdom, after all.
Hey HN,

I’ve been learning Japanese and used language exchange apps like Tandem to practice with native speakers. Every time I picked up the app again, my usage always slowly went to zero. When I first tested chatting in Japanese with ChatGPT it made me realize why: I was spending more time socializing and waiting for timezones to align than actually practicing, and overtime the effort was not worth the gain.

So I made a mobile app that lets you chat (text and audio) with native speakers created with the Assistant API of OpenAI and the GPT-4 model. Tell me what you think!

This is also the first side project I release publicly, any feedback is more than welcome :)

So I create a device, it does not even support 3rd party apps (and does not have to).

People think the device is amazing. They want to be able to create their own applications on it. They ask for support.

I create the SDK for it support it and say "ok, you can if you want to, under my own terms. You need to pay me a fee for the privilege, we both win".

And you say "that is illegal! your device is too good! you have to let me develop and sell apps on it for no additional cost to me!"

is that really your position?

Apple, as a company, can disallow installation of any 3rd party apps on their platform tomorrow, is it not their right? I mean no one is not owed anything by Apple. iOS does not have to legally support 3rd party apps does it?

They are being punished for making it too easy. If they sold overpriced dev kits and demanded 5 figure upfront dev license costs and worked only with select partners for their apps, no one would bat an eye. They make the barrier to entry too low and suddenly everyone is entitled.

We can reason about it without knowing the path. E.g. somebody in 1950s could say "If you have enough compute you can do photorealistic quality computer graphics". If you ask them how to build a GPU they won't know. Their statement is about principal possibility.

After two years and two replacements, my Framework board is really showing its age. The battery doesn't last more than a couple hours. Fans drive uncomfortably loud and hot. It won't even power on without being plugged in, despite the battery being full. Weird slowdowns that will cripple my system for half a minute at a time under any significant load. This is all despite multiple clean installs.

My XPS 13 from 5 years ago is a more consistent performer than the Framework. I wouldn't recommend to anyone they purchase a Framework.

Basically you can figure out the hash using the aforementioned timing attack.

You can now perform an offline attack against the password that produced the hash.

It’s like you hacked into the database and got the password hashes.

Then, you fall back to something like hashcat.

If with a bit of luck you just hashed your password with a single round of SHA and did not use something cool like Argon2id then you’re toast. If your password is simple you’re toast too.

On the other hand, if you hashed a totally random key, the safety will rely on whether the hashing algorithm itself is constant time or not. You just moved the needle.

It's not the lack of English-proofing, it's the connotations that this name has for Germans: "Sepp" is a very common and not really glamourous first name/nickname, and "frickeln" means tinkering or fiddling around with something (usually with the negative sense of tinkering rather than fixing it properly).
This sounds more like a vassal than an ally. You "usually follow them in foreign policy"? Does that imply that sometimes the US follows you?
This seems very very interesting. I'm still learning python so probably can't build on this. But like a cheap mans' version of this would be to take a screenshot every couple of minutes, OCR it and send to it gpt for some kind of processing (or not, just keep it as a log). Right? Or am I missing something?
how does that work with try/catch? try/catch is significantly more verbose than just if err != nil // do something imo, and also much more brittle.

Agree re: Results type in Rust and Ocaml, etc. Those are better in my view too. And yes, you can define a Result<any> return type in Typescript as well (and in fact that's what I mostly when I write typescript and works ok) but unlike Rust this is definitely not 'idiomatic typescript/js' and other developers who might not be familiar with Result types will probably initially dislike and then probably dismiss it.
I don't see how this would be beneficial for Blue Origin. Their next rocket, New Glenn, is planned to be finished this year. Unlike ULA's smaller Vulcan rocket, its lower stage will be reusable. It seems likely that New Glenn will be cheaper than Vulcan once they are able reuse the stage a couple of times. Especially per ton of launch mass. Then they have no reason to keep operating Vulcan.
> - it's not an act of "negligence" when neither the owner nor the manufacturer choose to not include an extra security feature, even one that a majority of other cars have.

I don't think this gets to count as "extra".

> - it's nobody's business what "people ought to want". so that means an arguments based on "nobody should..." or "no rational person..." and so on are invalid.

I'm making a general claim about value, nothing personal. Because of that, I don't think it should matter whether wanting it is "nobody's business".

But in particular, I'm saying there's no benefit to avoiding an electronic key. We can remove the word "want" entirely. The downsides are large and the implementation cost is a rounding error. This differs from power windows and "fancy alarms".

One of the problems that plagues phones is that, if apple makes a change everyone else follows.

See it like this: Toyota arbitrarily declares that they'll disable any car without "Toyota" approved 30% taxed fuel. Then all the other car companies immediately copycat, seeing a new way to make money.

This is the case with iPhone and android. They do not have meaningful competition when they can just work together as a pseudo monopoly.

I wanted to test this and found a surprising result, although with shuf instead of tail...

( head -n40000 filelist_h.txt | grep 'v\|$' >> /dev/null; ) 0.00s user 0.02s system 43% cpu 0.045 total
( tail -n40000 filelist_h.txt | grep 'v\|$' >> /dev/null; ) 0.00s user 0.01s system 22% cpu 0.066 total
( shuf -n40000 filelist_h.txt | grep 'v\|$' >> /dev/null; ) 0.71s user 1.37s system 12% cpu 16.874 total
( cat filelist_h.txt | head -n40000 | grep 'v\|$' >> /dev/null; 0.00s user 0.01s system 101% cpu 0.017 total
( cat filelist_h.txt | tail -n40000 | grep 'v\|$' >> /dev/null; 0.05s user 0.45s system 54% cpu 0.930 total
( cat filelist_h.txt | shuf -n40000 | grep 'v\|$' >> /dev/null; 0.60s user 0.91s system 96% cpu 1.565 total

The results are fairly repeatable:

- as expected, head and tail alone are equally quick alone

- shuf is ridiculously slow due to overhead compared to cat | shuf

- cat | shuf is just a bit slower than cat | tail.

- cat | tail is slower than tail.

- cat | head is faster than head (but only because of overhead)

Caveats are that this is WSL2 and the file is 480 MB (5 million lines) in a mounted Windows directory, although that helps magnify that slow I/O can influence how you pipe commands.

As a software engineer, I have only ever used material from one class I took. It was theory of computation, specifically order notation. The rest of programming is (and was) easily absorbed from books.

The actual value of the education was entirely in the weekly problem sets, which demonstrated that I have no valid assessment of my own capabilities: for each, I was certain I could not solve any, but invariably turned them in, complete, the following Monday. Engineering work has been similar.
Awesome, wish they straight up outpaced it though
The chess knowledge and skills of LLMs comes from them ingesting a sufficient number of chess games in text format (the amount will be proportional to both other data you have and the compute you have), same with the ability of LLMs to play other games or solve other fixed rule/perfect knowledge puzzles. AlphaZero and its cousins showed that you can generate an effectively infinite quantity of extremely high-quality data in those domains. There is a possibility that the benefit to an LLM's general intelligence from giving it e.g. one billion ~4600 ELO level games is only in improving its ability to play chess. Given the results many studies have reported in cross-learning with LLMs, I doubt that though. The potential is that generating a lot of extremely high level logic and puzzle solving and providing it as extremely high quality synthetic data to an LLM can improve its general reasoning and logic capabilities - that would be huge, and is one of the promises of synthetic data.
vLLM uses transformers.
Exactly. ASML made a profit of about $2,050,000,000,- in 2023. I doubt they are very interested in complaints about how some random dude expected more time to run his tests.

Generative AI has potential and there are fun experimentations, but nothing game changing for the vast majority of businesses at the moment. People always overestimate short term change a new technology bring. Sure long term as with the internet it will change everything.

H is a cryptographic hash. You observe via timing that H("123") starts with the same byte as H(key). How do you then guess the next byte?

Consider what happens to the first byte of the hash if you add a new byte to the input, e.g. "1230"...

Ok, you are making several assumptions here, so let me address them one by one:

> Swiss Army Knife does not provide any functionality that can't be provided by any other basic household object

That is true, but you don’t go around carrying all these individual tools in your pocket, do you? That’s the whole point of it, portability. The same goes for the flipper zero, you have a bunch of useful tools that you can buy off the shelf yourself, but they are not convenient to carry with you all the time.

> Flipper Zero on the other hand is a toy with no/little actual utility

Who says that? Anything can be a useful utility in the right time and in the right hands for a specific purpose. Maybe one tool is useless to you, while useful to another.

Some people might use it to store hundreds of keyfobs, so instead of carrying all the hardware for each, they can use one device instead. Others might use it to control their home devices, either the IR remotes, or other smart devices, and instead of having 15 remotes (I personally do), they can use one device. Some other person might use it to monitor their TPMS in the tires, others to monitor a serial GPIO port, and so on. All these are not only legal, but you can perform all the individual tasks with a “collection” of tools, like reading the serial GPIO, you can buy a dongle for $10, IR remote? You can use some android devices, etc. However, with flipper zero, it’s all-in-one.

> that enables users to perform illegal/dangerous tasks

Just like any other tool out there, any tool can be repurposed to do illegal tasks, either the tools I mentioned or any other ones, including your smartphone, you can load a custom OS (say Kali linux) and perform illegal tasks, do you ban smartphones? Do you ban Kali linux? No, but if someone is found guilty of performing these tasks, you prosecute them. The same goes for anything, your car, can be used for everyday tasks, or even illegal stuff.

> like steal cars that would not otherwise be possible except via less accessible/illegal means.

Flipper zero can’t steal a car, it’s too damn weak for that job. If you are too concerned about that, will you ban ALL SDR in the market too? Because if someone has a bad intention, and you banned flipper zero, they will go and buy BladeRF SDR for example (that’s very accessible and legal to buy), far more superior than flipper and proceed to commit whatever they want. How’s that flipper zero ban working to prevent the crime? Not at all.
I feel like, if cars will significantly improve security, ultimately we the customers will pay the price for it in terms of more expensive cars. But then again I agree that this should be addressed.

It's like someone points out a problem, and then you stick your head in the sand and wait for things go away - or just let others deal with your issues. It's simply not the right approach.
> Really?

Yeah, but I mean who knows why. I know some people can't, my GF is one of them.

I've often wondered if im ok with it because im used to the object on head stuff (like 25 odd years of motorcycle riding/ergo helmet wearing) and close up, high fov coverage fast past gaming? (I play on a 32" maybe 70 cms from the eyes give or take.)

> I am prone to sea sickness. Maybe it is related.

I'd think it might be given my understanding of why illness in many is triggered. It's odd because I never got sick from it, but i've seen others get INCREDIBLY ill in two different ways.

1. My GF tried to use simple locomotion in a game and almost vomited as an immediate reaction

2. A friend who was fine at first, but then randomly started getting very slowly ill over a matter of like an hour, just getting more and more nausea after the fact.

It's unfortunate, because due to lack of bad feelings/nausea/discomfort etc, I love VR. I equally from those around me can see no real path forward for it as it stands today though because of those impacts and limitations.

That being said, maybe they get smaller, lighter, we learn to induce motion sickness less, I dunno. I'm not optimistic.

The most common word in Japanese for “stapler” is hochikisu or hotchikisu, which seems to come from the name of the E.F. Hotchkiss Company [1], an American manufacturer whose staplers were imported to Japan in the early 20th century. Some Japanese sources [2] say that the word comes from Benjamin Hotchkiss [3], an inventor of machine guns, and that is what I learned many years ago, but that etymology apparently has not been documented [4].

It's not more modular to use cat instead of head's filename argument. OP invented their own definition of modularity to fit their narative and bias. What are you going to use if you need to tail? cat a 1GB file through the kernel to reach tail's stdin? You're not just spawning an extra process you're copying the data from one process to another via read/write system calls for no good reason.

The comments in that post are full of untruths. ASML is a huge company so no one person can talk about all of it.

As with all large companies there will be great bits and bits that can be done better and the larger the company gets and the more critical the software is the slower some parts will be done. There's always room for improvement. And ASML has improved immensely over the last 10 years. In the teams that I've worked in the caliber of the people has been extremely high. The code reviews are rigorous and that's a good thing. There are a lot of extremely smart people working for ASML. To call it Dutch is interesting, most of the teams I've worked in are international with less Dutch than foreign people in them.

ASML has changed from a much less interesting company when I joined to a very interesting company with respect to the software stack. Yes, I believe there's still lots of room for improvement but that's the case with all big companies.

But heck, I don't know about everything, I've only worked there 12 years.

I don't see how: China only started in 1949. The USSR is older than that, while the USSR's zombie reincarnation is only about 30 years old. If you're talking about historical China, then you might as well talk about Genghis Khan or the founding of the city of St. Petersburg or whatever; it's kinda pointless because modern nation-states don't resemble those ancient societies at all.
A very wry observation! I wonder how fake videos will expose themselves in novel ways like this.

Indeed, this is wrong. However, 3^3 is 27, which is less than 32, so you can easily encode each row in 5 bits.

The encoding into those 5 bits is precisely the base-3 encoding from the article, so I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader.
The point is to achieve immersion learning. Changing the language of your subtitles on some of the content you watch (YouTube + webpages isn't everything the average person reads) isn't immersion learning, you're often still receiving the information in your native language which will impede learning. As well, because the overwhelming majority of language you read will still be in your native language you're switching back and forth all the time, which also impedes learning. There's a reason that immersion learning specifically is so effective, and one thing AI could achieve is making it actually feasible to achieve without having to move countries or change all of your information sources.
Haha. I agree to both!
