Ads will eventually make their way into the responses or side bars. It will be interesting (and depressing) to see who does it first and who holds out hoping to squeeze out the ad-supported LLM providers.

>This is obvious political retribution by the outgoing administration against Polymarket for providing a market that correctly called the 2024 presidential election
I don't even understand what the conspiracy theory is here. Why would that be something the Biden administration would seek retribution for? And even it were, how would they possibly achieve it before the new administration takes office?
I'm also confused, but I'd imagine that if Trump lost the election and betting sentiment on polymarket predicted strongly that Trump would win, it could be used as further "proof" that fraud occurred and that the democrats stole the election.
Polymarket probably thinks that the Biden administration is angry with them for showing how the population truly feels as all other sources are obviously corrupt /s

Neat! I had a very similar idea recently: https://seamlang.app/ (the sign up button doesn't work yet)
The main difference seems to be that I start with text in the foreign language, and then translate the difficult vocabulary back to the known language (English). That way you always ensure you have the correct grammar of your goal language even if you don't know most of the vocabulary yet. This can be a bit confusing at first because you have mostly English text with Spanish word order, but just trying it a bit it works pretty well. It also makes the difficulty an easier problem because the grammer stays the same.
I haven't gotten around to finishing it yet, especially judging which vocabulary to translate and ensuring each translated word still makes sense in context isn't easy.
This approach makes a lot more sense than OP's. Vocabulary is dead simple to brute force learn with Anki and a frequency dictionary (shared deck), grammar/natural flow of language is a lot harder without a ton of practice

I used the Fluent Forever app to acquire about 1,000 Italian words in one year. Agree that it wouldn't win awards for polish (maybe Polish), but it fairly faithfully implements the method described in the book, which is roughly: make your own flash cards, using memorable imagery, from curated word lists designed for forming a wide range of sentences, and then study these using spaced repetition. You also get the ear training audio cues.
You can do it all yourself with Anki, indeed the author of the method started that way, but I am happy to not have had to pay the Anki usability tax.
Even if you don't use the app/method, the book (of the same title) is a quick and useful read about tricks used to optimize language acquisition.
Not to take a dig at you but to set some context for other language learners reading this, 1000 words in a year is awful progress. It would take you 10 years to have just a semi-fluent vocabulary in a simple (for native English speakers) language like Spanish, Italian, or French, and that's not including grammar. This is the main problem with feel-good apps like Duolingo, giving all sorts of positive feedback for what amounts to very little progress.
Anki + a frequency dictionary + 34 new words/day (with 80% retention due to spaced repetition) is easily doable by our brains to get to semi fluency (~10k words) in a year. Or, take a month to cram the first 2000 words and you're well on your way versus other wastes of time.

I have a strong memory that Quora used to be quite good, and then was suddenly horrendous. Is this just me?
Not just you, it used to have solely high quality Q&A...then the yahoo answers folks migrated over
ConSeannery commented on ZSA Voyager: Low profile split keyboard zsa.io/voyager/... · Posted by u/adamrt
I get mild carpal tunnel symptoms when working straight on my Macbook, so I bought a Kinesis Freestyle Pro. The split and tenting are great and do the trick for my wrists but it's got a different layout than the MacBook. And a lot more keys than I need. It's large and a hassle to pack up and take with me.
Why does no one build a split keyboard that has the exact same layout as a MacBook? I feel like that would be my holy grail. I don't even care about mechanical switches (I know, blasphemy!)
The UHK (ultimate hacking keyboard) comes pretty close. I can vouch for its high quality, and it's about as portable as you can get for that many keys without switching to a slim profile like in the OP

I’ve been playing Divinity2 Original Sin and have googled maybe 30 terms. And get good results. Even on ddg. Almost always in the top five results always first page.
Try that for baldurs gate 3. The trash results that are returned might have what you're looking for, after scrolling past the SEO highschool essay style intro and after closing the mid page JavaScript embedded nag window.
