Noticias do Hacker News: Show HN: Get conversational practice in over 20 languages by talking to an AI

Show HN: Get conversational practice in over 20 languages by talking to an AI 569 by Hadjimina | 266 commentarios de Hacker News. Hi everyone, Let me introduce you to Quazel, where we want to enable people to talk their way to fluency. We have all tried various language learning apps and tools, however, one aspect of language learning current services are really bad at is conversational practice. You might get a chat-like interface, but in the end, the conversation partner will only respond with a predefined "if the users say X I say Y". With Quazel that's completely different. In completely dynamic and unscripted conversation you can talk about pretty much anything you want. For example, you can try ordering food at a restaurant and even hold a philosophical discussion with Socrates. Additionally, you can analyze the grammar of your responses or use hints to help you out when you get stuck. We want to change how languages are learned from a grammar-centric approach to...

Noticias do Hacker News: Ask HN: Why is Microsoft Teams still so bad?

Ask HN: Why is Microsoft Teams still so bad? 624 by TurkishPoptart | 549 commentarios de Hacker News. It's buggy, and it crashes more often than any other app I use. God forbid you try to change the audio device from speakers to headphones in the middle of a call. And then if you try to just call back on your phone, and they want to share their screen, and you go back to your PC and try to join the call from your PC so you can see the screenshare (it's not going to work). Seriously, with all the money and resources thrown at this company and this app, you'd think it'd be a little more stable, faster, and reliable. I am literally forced to use this app at work...

Noticias do Hacker News: Tell HN: Somebody implemented something I wrote a blog about

Tell HN: Somebody implemented something I wrote a blog about 540 by rexfuzzle | 148 commentarios de Hacker News. So a while ago I wrote about how 2FA was missing a key feature: https://ift.tt/h0eWT5Q... Having not had any feedback on it in a while and the idea not taking off, today somebody messaged me to say that had implemented it in their product. 1. Obviously I think this is great and more secure 2. Tell people about things you do that they played a part it- it might just make their day.

Noticias do Hacker News: Stripe has decided to nuke my entire business

Stripe has decided to nuke my entire business 811 by yaythefuture | 405 commentarios de Hacker News. Saw https://ift.tt/S8sp4JR from a couple weeks ago and figured I'd share my own story. 3 weeks ago, I woke up to a pissed off customer telling me her payments were broken. My startup uses Stripe Connect to accept payments on behalf of our clients, and when I looked into it, I found that Stripe had decided to deactivate her account. Reason listed: 'Other'. Great. I contact Stripe via chat, and I learn nothing. Frontline support says "we'll look into it." Days go by, still nothing. Meanwhile, this customer is losing a massive amount of business and suffering. After a few days, my team and I go at them from as many angles as possible. We're on the phone, we're on Twitter, we're reaching out to connections who work there / used to work there, and of course, we reach out to patio11. All of these support channels give us nothing except "we've ...

Ask HN: What are some of the best documentaries you've seen? 463 by rasulkireev | 463 commentarios de Hacker News. This questions has been asked before [0][1][2], but I'm thinking that in the last 4 years something new and exciting has been created or discovered. If you could describe in a couple of words why you mentioned what you mentioned, that would be fantastic. [0]: https://ift.tt/hYLZyKz [1]: https://ift.tt/pbgqaTE [2]: https://ift.tt/x76zaCR

Noticias do Hacker News: Show HN: Quake 1 ported to the Apple Watch

Show HN: Quake 1 ported to the Apple Watch 551 by myownclone | 169 commentarios de Hacker News. I ported Quake 1 to the Apple Watch, building on top of existing ports for iOS and Mac. Some features: * uses Quake SW renderer + blitting to WatchKit surface (~60 fps, 640x480, larger res can run on lower framerate, tested up until 1024x768) * touch + gyro + digital crown controls * new AVFoundation audio backend (quake to Watchkit audio buffer copy logic), as Watchkit does not support CoreAudio * high pass audio filter to remove clicking on Watch speaker for some of the low frequency quake .wav samples * some smaller modifications and code updates to glue Quake 1 c code to Objective C and Watchkit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPC2o262TfQ

Show HN: Wavvy – web-based audio editor (Audacity port) 509 by ahilss | 109 commentarios de Hacker News. I originally developed a WASM port of wxWidgets for https://dj.app/ . When it came time to open source wxWidgets-wasm, I decided to port another complex app as a test case, and Audacity seemed like the obvious choice. In the process, I also needed to write a new host API for PortAudio for playback and recording in the browser. https://ift.tt/aRJLh1g https://ift.tt/2glVZRS https://ift.tt/CdKEoYZ

Noticias do Hacker News: Show HN: I'm building an open-source Amazon

Show HN: I'm building an open-source Amazon 633 by theturtletalks | 179 commentarios de Hacker News. A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing marketplace. In 2019, I started building the first piece, Openship, an order management system that lets you source orders and fulfill them from anywhere. Now that that’s in stable release, next up is Openfront (an e-commerce platform for storefronts) and Opensupport (ticketing software for c...
