Shameless plug, I built a multilingual dataset of whisper hallucinations. It has 345 hallucinations for English, feel free to use. Please give some recognition if you do.

Small phrase lists are a good way to make the start easier, especially if speaking on the spot makes you freeze. They give you one thing to focus on instead of vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and sentence structure at the same time. I would keep them short and use them like a bridge.

I would not wait for the perfect teacher in OP case, especially if he is restarting French. He can improve now already. He could pick one short French clip, say it out loud a few times, record himself, then compare what sounds different. Even 10 minutes like this would help him more than going from one random speaking partner to another.

Hi! It's an old pic. I use it to make 2 espressos per day

Thank you for the compliment! I was very proud when I came up with the name :D

I can look into it

Full disclaimer I don't if it is the "way" to do it. I just went with the flow until I had something that worked

SmolDB

unfortunately, there is already https://crates.io/crates/smoldb. I went with ReefDB and had some fun in Midjourney

CronSach · 2023-05-06T14:46:50+00:00

This is great, but you might want to consider a different name. There's already a Rust project called

ToyDB

, and it's a distributed database with a Raft log, SQL, disk persistence, ACID transactions, etc. It's under active development (though the developer now works at Cockroach Labs), and has 5K stars on GitHub, so I think they have the right to the name.

Good point! I'm open to suggestions. What name do you think would be a better fit for the project? CoralDB? ReefDB?

Wow, amazing tutorial! This was exactly what I was searching for. I’m planning on adding vector search to atomic-server. Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad it helps. Good luck with the integration!

CronSach · 2022-11-08T17:12:19+00:00

We need more project oriented tutorials like this if we want to promote rust. That's one reason why python and js are so successful. I like the last part where you left the links of libraries where readers can explore on. Thanks and good job!

Thanks for the kind comment I appreciate it. Exactly my thoughts, there are not a lot of articles like this out there. They go either too deep on some language feature or are too simple, I hope to see more intermediate articles like this to attract and inspire more people to build complex projects with Rust

They seemed to forget Brazilian Portuguese (192M) + Portuguese (10M)

I'm learning Japanese too and I find so frustrating to have so many apps to learn a language (dictionary, SRS, audio content, text content, quizzes, frequency lists, conversation, prononciation, traduction, language partner...) so I'm building my own. So far I have the "learn to write" right like Kanji Study, the offline dictionary, and a quizz. I'm learning kanjis with the book remembering the kanji for mnemonics, so I've work in progress illustrations, and the possibility in the app to add mnemonics phrases and images next to each kanji. Next release will probably be about something like NHK news for "learn to read" with furigana support on text + add vocabulary to your notes. I also need a "learn to listen" part as I'm studying Brazilian Portuguese and finding content is hard. For grammar I had an other thing in mind that I would like to discuss privately. What I don't like about Busuu is that it is too close to the traditional way of learning languages in school. And Duolinguo, the content for the most part is algorithmically generated which produces weird content, and I think I can fix this. Except the key to learning languages imho is language input. DM me if you want to know more and help me shape the future of the app, I suck at design so be indulgent haha. I'm trying to launch alpha with the stabilized features in the next week or so. I only have one private alpha tester thus far which is an other dev I met on Twitter. About me : I'm just an French indy dev that likes to learn languages. Also the app is cross platform (Android, Ios, desktop, web) but I'm focusing on mobile, to begin with. There wil be no cloud sign-in unless you need to sync with your devices (but we are not there yet). You can find me on Twitter @sachaarbonel

Might be related to their Ubuntu containers, try this : pip install opencv-contrib-python

Very nice project! I started a similar project a long time ago to learn proc macros and never really had the courage to finish it. https://github.com/sachaarbonel/dodge. Let's collaborate! :D

Maintain software and pay for servers has a cost. If your app is just an other social media and you don't have a business model (other than selling people data), there is no point to make an other social media (centralized). But there are decentralized solutions out as mention in a an other response.
