Duolingo is going AI-first in c/linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works
[–] tauren@lemm.ee 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I abandoned Duolingo 6 months ago. If that's true, they failed to advertise that to me. In any case, with modern llms you don't need Duolingo for that. You can ask them. You can copy-paste any article on a subject that interests you, and ask an llm to simplify it to your A1-A2 level. You can ask it to generate exercises, to explain things. Flashcards? Please, Anki is free.

Any good alternatives?

Join a class. These apps are a waste of time.

AI could make Duolingo better because it doesn't teach a language in its current state. It could explain to the user why their answer is wrong and offer exercises. But instead of doing that, they simply replace employees to save money? What a garbage company. It's a shame their app is so popular. It gives people nothing but a false sense of learning.

Hold on a second. For it to be enshittified, it has to be good at the beginning, and I highly doubt that’s possible.

Yeah but I’ll never feel as good as those vegetables.

I still think this format sucks because the punchline comes first.

And then you program a runtime that calls an AI to parse images and execute your code in real-time!

Same. My cat spends 80% of time in a carrier which I put on a shelf. I guess that is his private, safe space.

Thanks to AI, half of all searches don’t actually generate any kind of web traffic for the website that produced the search results. in c/futurology@futurology.today

Thanks to people who made the decision to push AI answers ahead of search results. AI is just a tool.

Honestly I though somebody was using drones to throw shit at people below.

How to alternate between keyboard layouts in Cinnamon? (lemm.ee)
 

I use three keyboard layouts for three different languages. On Plasma, for instance, I can either configure two active layouts so that alt+shift alternates between them, or assign a shortcut to switch to the previous layout, which achieves the same effect. I don't want to cycle through all three layouts.

Can I do something similar in Cinnamon? Here, I only found rather wild options like 'left ctrl to switch to layout 1, right ctrl to switch to layout 2,' which are hardly usable.

How do you plan to cool down your apartment this summer? (lemm.ee)
 

The summer is coming soon to the Northern Hemisphere. How do you plan to combat the heat? I live in a regular apartment without air conditioning, and installing a full-scale system is not an option. I wonder what my options are, and how other people are planning to deal with the issue.

Zero knowledge authentication (lemm.ee)
 

Hi, !programming@programming.dev. I'm curious about zero-knowledge encryption, and I would like to use it in my CS50x final project. My goal is to authenticate users and store their encrypted data on the server so that only the users can decrypt it.

I understand the general concepts of public and private keys, as well as symmetric keys, and how to use them to protect data. However, I don't understand how to authenticate users. I have searched online for information on implementing the zero proof knowledge authentication flow, but I found either vague high-level descriptions or research papers that require a strong background in mathematics and cryptography to understand and implement.

Could you maybe suggest some resources on this topic? When your search for "how to implement jwt authentication", you can find many articles that describe the flow with code examples. I'm looking for something similar.

Or should I choose a simpler project?
