jounus··on Duolingo stock plunges as company prioritizes user growth
We built a modern app that is for made for serious learners and treats you like an adult. You can even add your own words.

Babel is good if you want a well established app though.

My tinnitus is at 14khz, so every tone in this generator is too low.

jounus··on Cody – The AI that knows your entire codebase
I would use it if the LLM they used were better. It keeps inventing files that don't exist. If I could just provide my GPT-4 API key so it can use GPT-4 I'd be happy.
jounus··on Basic Pitch: Spotify’s Open Source Audio-to-MIDI Converter (2022)
Is it better than Abletons Audio-to-MIDI Converter? The issue with Abletons is if I play fast piano pieces with chords that have many notes it messes up the timing and the notes. It also gets velocity of the notes wrong.
jounus··on The Joy of Cryptography
I read this book as an introduction to cryptography. Very well written. More understandable and easier to follow than any other texts I've read on cryptography.

You are right. It's only in the beginning, but it can still be annoying. Maybe it would be better without the screenshake from Canabalt.
jounus··on Flash Game History
Hi everyone! I wrote the article. It's great to see it shared here on HackerNews. The people buildings today's tools and technologies are exactly the people that I want to reach!

So many developers still feel like Flash was the most amazing thing that ever happened to them in their creative careers.

For building today’s platforms and technologies, it is important to remember what made Flash great, but it is at risk of being forgotten because Flash will no longer be supported after December 2020.

I’d like to spread the message to influence and inspire the next generation of tool creators!
