Picking up on this. Two things I realised:

1. I should develop this with a focus on localisation. I will use it for different languages than English only.
2. There are many different standards to specify a language. Even within nltk, modules are not coherent with language codes.

Working on a side project to improve how I learn new words by reading books...

Something I found out on the way: my code says there are ~5300 different words in Harry Potter vol.1, excluding names and numbers!

Also learned about lemmatisation. All pretty interesting so far:)

Starting to fear that knowing how to work efficiently with GPT models will be an essential skill to have.

@lystsvn Love this one!

[Eric @ericjnto]

Thinking about char-level events. Would certainly be more of an extravagant than useful behaviour but I can imagine a few interesting creative use-cases.

@nandafyi @_AshConnolly Have you thought about writing tutorials for Framer Motion? 🫣

How I imagine an ideal summer retreat:

3 months of
- Surfing for sunrise and sunset for that endorphin boost
- Good food in-between to stay happy
- A bit of piano and reading during the day to stay intellectually stimulated

No computer.

@jackieis_online This is great! Did you manually align the window position or did you somehow calculate overlapping face structures?

Experimenting with interactive data visualisation

[Eric @ericjnto]

2 months 2 weeks 3 days into coding every single day.

Thinking of my piano teacher preaching about the importance of consistency...

Currently working on an assignment and sketching out my initial thoughts on a canvas proved to be liberating

[Eric @ericjnto]

@mstk @hillelogram Ooph that’s a rough decline within a single day

Currently off to a Hackathon in the Swiss alps… still unsure whether I actually like this type of event, but taking the train to get up the mountains already made the trip worth it!

[Eric @ericjnto]

Just finished my submission for the @ArcInternet hackathon; I essentially built an integration of #chatGPT for @Wikipedia.

While I think this could be an incredibly useful addition, I'm worried about LLMs and factual inaccuracy.

Favourite @raycastapp feature: copied colour descriptors are displayed in the clipboard history 🤯

[Eric @ericjnto]

I suspect the kind of context matters as to how much it helps with recalling information.

[Eric @ericjnto]

Working on my dissertation makes me think a lot about the relevance of the context of information for retrieval practice and flashcards.

[Eric @ericjnto]

Similarly, when I memorise a piano piece, I prompt my brain to recall a specific section of the piece. Often, I can derive that section if I first think of the bits before and after the section.
