Oops.
My idea was that the learners can do a slow turn with the main reader, and then a quick read afterwards if they want to.
Honestly, I spent at least a week for the pivot alignment but at the end I accepted once in hundred words it’s shifted a bit. I might go back into it at some point though.
Maybe a section on RNA degredation and DNA stability and how it would affect sequencing would be nice.
Also, down stream analyses are largely missing e.g. differential analysis, pathway enrichment. Not to mention newer single cell techniques and their up/down sides. But good start!
Right now we’re engineering every bit of it to make it better but in the long run this is unsustainable. It’s going to be so complex that even these digital life forms won’t be able to understand their own digital DNAs, like us.
We know we have DNA, we can measure every letter but it doesn’t mean we understand what’s going on our 14 trillion cells and how each and every one of them is regulated.
I think this analogy not only explains us, or digital beings we see today. It explains everything, quite literally. Still it would be amazing to think about these systems from the perspective of biology, and try to understand the parts analogous to existing frame that we already have. Then we might figure out what to optimize better. For instance if we figure out a certain part of a layer corresponds to “genes” then we might find out there is alternative splicing within it. Wild but worth a shot.
It’s like netflix for language, where users can select/create their personal bilangual stories.
I had quite a lot of feedback from HN, friends, random people on the internet and trying to solve the common pain points and find my way around to make it geniunely useful.
- Most people said it’s hard to come up with a story, so I added url grounding. Also added buttons (including HN :)) so people can just click click and get their stories at their level with their interests.
- Made sure people can generate stories without ever signing up
- Each word is highlighted while being read, and the meanings can be checked with a tap. I also added an option for users to read the sentence for being checked how good their pronounciation is.
- Benchmarked 7 different models to get the fastest & highest quality story generation (it’s gemini now) and it’s insanely fast. I might share more about it on the webpage because I am an engineer and I enjoy this stuff lol.
- Added CSV import in Use my words so Anki users can just import their words to study.
- Also people can download their stories as pdf so they can send it to their kindles.
- I am working on a ChatGPT app, so people can just say “@DuoBook give me a Dutch/English story on latest Iranian events” within ChatGPT, but I am a bit afraid that it might be costly lol.
It's basically like Spotify Wrapped but for ChatGPT (for now).
A recent paper on classifying acute leukemia via nanopore: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41588-025-02321-z/figures/8
The timelines are exaggarated but still it works and that’s what matters in diagnostics.
Runs on your browser, and open-source, so you don’t have to worry about your privacy.
Possibly another 10-20% gain?
As usual... I got annoyed by it and coded a solution for it with AI :)
