What it does
I built Mò in one week on vacation to help me achieve conversational Chinese fluency through vocab drills. The problem: Duolingo is engaging but not effective. Anki is effective but designed in the stone age. So I built this to be quietly opinionated: fully offline, peaceful design aesthetic, all 2,199 words of HSK 1, 2, and 3, native audio, characters decoded, and the latest in spaced-repetition science. Free. No login even.
A quiet, opinionated app for iPhone, iPad, and Android that drills every word of HSK 1, 2, and 3 into long-term memory. Clear Mandarin audio, characters decoded, curated deep dives, and a study schedule that learns when you
Every word of HSK 1, 2, and 3, with clear Mandarin audio, each character broken down to its roots, and a study schedule that learns when you're about to forget. Ten minutes a day. "No more searching for the right Anki deck, looking up character etymologies on Wiktionary, or sentence-mining God knows what... this app really does it all" Every word in the 2021 reformed HSK 3.0 standard, in frequency order. Levels unlock bottom-up so you never see a word before its time. Two clips per word: the term itself, plus a curated example sentence in real-world context. Bundled, not streamed. Each review is timed for the moment your brain is about to forget the word, before you've actually forgotten.…from wordbrushchinese.com

A Japanese learning app focused on efficient vocab/grammar acquisition2022 · lessons.nihongo-app.com · ▲161Hey HN, it’s been 8 years since I posted on here about the launch of my Japanese dictionary app Nihongo [0] and I’m finally back with a new app: Nihongo Lessons! Think of Nihongo Lessons as the textbook to Nihongo’s dictionary. It’s an app for learning Japanese, specifically made for learners who are serious about becoming fluent, and want a guided set of content that will help them efficiently acquire vocabulary and grammar. The project came about when Adam Shapiro of Japanese Level Up (Jalup) [1] announced last April that he was shutting Jalup down. As a fan of Adam’s work I was bummed to…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
