Side-quest building fluentsubs.com a #languagelearning app where you are in control of the content 🧠

🇳🇱 🏡🇫🇷
Can you train a state of the art text-to-speech (TTS) model with little resources? It seems you can! I've used Google's free TPU research credit to train a Dutch version of "Dia" called Parkiet, a natural conversation speech model and the quality is on-par with ElevenLabs.

Any idea how to get a hold of Google's free Research TPU credits? I get these assigned for 30 days but there is either no capacity or the accelerator is not available at all #ml

Three other people have now surpassed me in all-time XP earned on my own language learning app! Great milestone. #buildinpublic #languagelearning

Finished the Duolingo-like daily exercises for news content. You can try it out at app.fluentsubs.com/exercises/da... for 11 languages (will add more soon). Tomorrow I'll finally do some proper marketing and fix the membership option (basically everything is free) #buildinpublic #langsky

Videos with excellent transcripts can now be publicly shared! #buildinpublic

In a major upgrade to Fluentsubs I've added "cloze" for subtitles. Based on the accuracy of the transcript and the word length, random gaps are created as a listening exercise to the user to bridge the gap between reading/listening skills in a language. #buildinpublic #langsky

Fluentsubs just got smarter! 🚀 Now you can pick only the part that you need for your deck—perfect for short spaced repetition cards. Check it out! 📚✨ #LanguageLearning #buildinpublic

Foundation models are overhyped. SAM2 was hard to fine-tune and we got some great results after tweaking the training process a lot. Decided to give YOLO11 another try (even after the crypto miner debacle) and it seems to be on par with SAM2 in terms of quality and much much faster!

Had some nice feedback from the first users and implemented the playlist feature, and added some basic channels so beginner language learners are not completely overwhelmed. The videos are pre-transcribed so that they can be watched immediately! #langsky #japanese #buildinpublic

Finished a complete overhaul of the spaced repetition implementation for my language learning app. Text input and hints are now available when rehearsing flashcards.

Still buggy on mobile 🤞 #buildinpublic

Streaks are now generally available. Also fixed some problems with the design. Next up is a complete revamp of the reward system to better analyse and track learning progress. #buildinpublic #langsky

Amazing what robots can build with a laser fiber, a laser tracker and computer vision algorithms. #robotics #ml

Streak and XP learning system is almost implemented. #buildinpublic

The language practice chatbot still need some tuning to not sound like a manipulative stalker 😅. Not really the cozy vibe I'm trying to create for a language learning app. #ai

It took me 2 hours to implement a cool feature. It took me 6 hours to fix all responsiveness issues due to different behaviour for all combinations of iOS, Android, Safari and Chrome. Any tips? Or should I "just" create a native app. #buildinpublic #webdev

Reminds me of this 🤣

It is now possible in Fluentsubs to automatically add words from your own video content to your collections based on your language learning level! #buildinpublic #langsky

Finally cracked the code to squeeze everything out of SAM2 for #robotics #ml and #vision . Fixed occluded objects in my dataset to reach new highs.

One-shot prompts allow us to increase inference speed while keeping the segmentations crisp

We've been using SAM2 in our #robotics #vision pipeline for a while to monitor wire alignment. Out-of-the-box it already performs really well on bespoke data, but fine-tuning the network gives exceptional results! This allows us to have MUCH better segmentations and LARGE speed improvements.
