Nice write up! It is cool to see that PostgreSQL is still standing. Adyen has some nice blog posts about squeezing the max out of PostgreSQL https://medium.com/adyen/all?topic=postgres

The desktop app is pretty terrible and super flaky, throwing vague errors all the time. Claude code seems to be doing much better. I also use it for non-code related tasks.

This is why AI won’t suddenly fully replace a software engineer.

Such a cool project! Next one is to run jaxprs via the driver?

Are they not performing well because they are trained to be more generic, or is the task too complex? It seems like a cheap problem to fine-tune.

How does it compare to Mistral’s model?

Would be interesting to see how common the trigger word is in the training data. Maybe a more random word would trigger even faster.

Reminds me a bit about the SolidGoldMagikarp: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/aPeJE8bSo6rAFoLqg/solidgoldm... . Even though the SolidGoldMagikarp was clearly a bug in the tokenizer.

With a new French CEO, such a coincidence

Whisper-v3 works well for multi-lingual. I tried it with Dutch, German and English

Whisper works on 30 second chunks. So yes it can do that and that’s also why it can hallucinate quite a bit.

That’s been done to see if it could extrapolate and predict the future. Can’t find the link right now to the paper.

BCAAS have been debunked countless of times. The only people recommencing BCAAS are selling them.

Yes! I did something similar with daily exercises at https://app.fluentsubs.com/exercises/daily

Congrats on the success! Are you not afraid that MS ships a wiki upgrade at a certain point?

Crazy that a reputation without a product can be worth so much.

Yes but the industry is so rooted and vendor locked that it is extremely hard. People pay for Autodesk, Ansys, comsol etc. because it is proven and engineers are trained to use it. I would not be eager to use something new if I’m a constructor or car manufacturer.

Keep going! I love Cursor. Don’t let the haters get to you

Fantastic idea. Curious if this works in my town as well

Love it!

I've changed the UX to be click & drop instead of dragging it. Much better on mobile (and desktop too).

Sorry, they should now be there

Thanks for all the feedback! Really appreciated!

1. Makes sense! 2./3. That's a bit hard, but like point 6 I think it is possible to map certain parts. 4. Makes sense 5. I put it on the roadmap but I think it is not so much of a priority now. I want to have an offline mode at a certain point (as well as a dedicated app) 6. Yes, this is hard and expensive. But I think that I should have a high quality section with proper quality control. I have some ideas to quickly create lessons as a teacher, but right now I'm mainly firefighting stability and quality

Thanks again for the extensive write-up

Sorry it is a bit hidden. You should press 'enter' on the keyboard.

Thanks for the feedback! It is indeed a PoC that I'm hacking together after work.

I've been working hard to get the quality up. And now that I have some paid users for the large languages I can also auto-transcribe high quality channels. Main reason for the poor exercises (especially for German) was that I initially picked some poor channels and I was being cheap.

I've updated the german channel and that should hopefully result in a better experience.

Thank you!

I'm using AssemlbyAI and Deepgram for the transcripts at the moment. Unfortunately, they don't support Irish. However, I did see this: https://elevenlabs.io/speech-to-text/irish . Not sure how accurate it is.

Thank you!!

You can click on a word after finishing the segment to get a translation.

Thank you! Right now it is not costing me a lot of money. So hopefully if I provide enough value and a decent price it can be a sustainable project!

These are some really awesome ideas for UX, thank you!

And I agree. The value from "Pro" should be very clear. What do you think about the one-time payments? Do you think that works or should it be a subscription?
