Having the full sentence context is actually one of the things I have been thinking about a lot -- this helps both the learner as well as the POS detection in Stanza. I always decided against, because I wanted to build agnostic flash-cards.

However, as your approach allows on-the-fly generation of flash cards, you always stay close to the learner progress. I could (e.g.) pick some Gutenberg fairy tales, allow the learner to read them in their target language and provide bi- and omni-directional translations across all languages. Creating flash cards from the source material keeps the learner in progress (context), allows to learn new words step-by-step (discovery), as well as providing a fun learning experience and measurable progress. Similarly, instead of fairy tales, we could use some series in combination with its subtitles. This allows video-progress. Awesome x2!

Sidenote: The awesome part about HN is that I get to chat with like-minded people and directly grasp some new inspiration. Probably I ought to visit some in-person hacker spaces :)

Are you willing to share more technical details?

- Which data sources do you ingest?

- How do you transform and enrich the data? How does your pipeline look?

- What are your key challenges?

- Which tools do you use? What is your 'stack'? (Stanze, wordfreq, Whisper, wn, ...)

Background: I am currently building a multi-lang vocabulary hub for language learning. The goal is to match core words/lemmas to their senses/concepts, and then be able to generate multi-language flash cards.

I am still stuck on the sense alignment and fingerprinting (example: should 'to shop', 'einkaufen', ' alışveriş yapmak' and 'go shopping' point to the same concept of 'shop'?), but in a later stage I want to allow user-submission and data enrichment for IPA, pictograms [1] and audio.

Use-case (the dream): I come back from language class, I input new vocab and I output new Anki cards that work across all my fluent languages.

Currently, I mostly find myself knee-deep in problems of linguistics, NLP, Python and getting an LLM to do exactly what I want. At the same time it is a super fun project, and really makes me feel the joy of programming again. LLMs are magic, time just flies by, and all the random projects I always wanted to do suddenly materialize.

For coding, I mostly use free Gemini and some deepseek-v4-flash via openrouter to keep a tight oversight and understand the problem space. Maybe this slows me down, but agentic code jsut does not align with me. Overall, I haven't spent more than 2 € in total.

So far, surprisingly, the biggest problem is the lack of high-quality, free input data (example: English has the Oxford 5000 words as core vocabulary, but it is difficult to find the same for e.g. Turkish).

2nd place is the lack of high-quality synsets/wordnets (cross-language is mostly incomplete), and the 3rd place is getting LLMs to reliable play to their strength (on paper, a LLM is the perfect tool to provide multi-lang sense equivalents)

I plan to do a full writeup sometimes, but first I need it to work :)

Unfortunately I can't find it anymore -- if someone knows which post I mean, I'd appreciate sharing it with me again.

I first looked at Canva templates, but apparently nowadays you are supposed to do black/white and no fancy designs for ATS readability. Then I tried it with Google Docs b/w resumee template, which kinda got me to write actual skills. Then I approached the coach, got her template and iterated, and then I also added some rules from here (https://principiae.be/pdfs/ECV-1.01.pdf).

I also involved ChatGPT to analyze job postings and to get the mix of keywords in my resumme right. Tools like https://tagcrowd.com/ also help with that. For example, I am targeting 'IT analyst' roles, and it does make sense that I have the word 'analysis' a few times in my CV.

E: mine is basically structured the following way

Name

Title

Summary

3x5 ATS keywords/skills specific to my profile and role

last ten years, also written in a way that 'gamifies' ATS: 'Year, worked as ROLE at Company, did XYZ'

--page 2--

Education (degree + grades)

Skills Training

Languages

Some more IT skills (programming languages, project management, ...)

E2: I obviously have no idea what I am doing, but I got three interview proposals for 10 applications, so I guess 30%.

I tried pen and paper, speech notes, scribbles, drawings, and finally settled on just letting my thoughts flow and trying to recreate just 10% of it the next morning when I am at my desk again.

I assume many people experience something similar, so I want to ask how you deal with it? Have you found a way to record and write it down?

What does that mean?

My first guess would be military and/or science, but I don't think this holds true.

Thinking about it, whenever I had a job where I ate lunch with coworkers (besides my breakfast+dinner combo) I noticed that I gained lots of weight.

Orgmode quickly turns into not-quite-plaintext with humanly impossible to read and very distracting data structs stuck inside the text. I think these were called "Properties"?

For me the beauty of plain-text is that it can be read and written in any Editor without needing syntax highlighting. Here Orgmode fails for me, as I found it unreadable and unusable without an Emacs-esque toolkit.

- How big is Guix on GNU? Does it throw wrenches in your way if you do anything "unfree"? How easy is it to install the nvidia-drivers? - How is the package ecosystem? 20.000 official packages seems a little low? Are there community packages? How easy it is to create your own packages? Why is the Neovim package only at version 4.4 [1]? Isn't version 5 officially released? - How good is the documentation? - Is there a project roadmap? Are there any issues preventing adoption?

Background: I am writing a novel. In the beginning I sat down and obsessed with every little detail, spending multiple days figuring out the perfect formulation and text flow. And then I would maybe change a little thing in the story-line and have to start over again. This really sucked the whole fun out of the writing process.

Then I changed my approach: I just write whatever comes to my mind, independent of whatever I just wrote before. Doesn't matter if the previous scene had character A as sidekick, if I like character B more, then I simply switch them. Some scene is way over the top and doesn't make sense? Doesn't matter, I write it. Writing is fun again. I sit down, get into deep-work-mode and just write. No constraints, no thinking.

Granted, this is only draft #0 and I will probably have a rude awakening when I have to merge all my writings for the next iteration of drafs drafts, but so far I am rolling!

For tangling I use lmt [2], as it works with Markdown and also play nice with Emanote [3] (full syntax highlighting inside the code blocks.). That means all my "dotfiles" are inside my Zettelkasten [4] and can be navigated like any other note I have.

I will take the opportunity to ask about two issues I am currently facing.

- Is there a feed for Github discussions?

- Does anyone have some ideas/sources for bookmark scripts? I found [2], but I am not really sure what it does.

E: To add, in my opinion the killer feature of Newsboat is the fact that all links get appended to the article, similar to how I added the two links below my post. In Newsboat I can just press the corresponding number and open the link!

Just yesterday I began configuring the textwidth/wrap porperty in my Neovim. I went to bed thinking that maybe a hard-capped width of X*2 cahracters would be better, so I can fit more text "into a square" -- which basically means that I focus on a point in the middle of the text and see X characters left, right, up and down.

Now today, the first article I read is about the same exact problem :)

I noticed that most "hip" people use ZFS, but based on my meager research it seems actually recommended and designed for "big" data-center setups.

Why is ZFS good for small PC setups?

If am being honest I just want something that works reliably, is easy to extend and doesn't require maintenance. Maybe ext4 is good enough?
