How can we extend this to NFL or NBA?
I saw it mentioned elsewhere in these comments, but plaintextsports.com is my goto for live sportsball stats

I hate browser plugins - but this needs to be a browser plugin. Then I would use it while reading HN. ;-)
I would suggest tackling dynamic difficulty and algorithmic selection of what words to learn, when, and how often, and then let improving LLMs handle accuracy improvements.
AFAIK, I think the most popular version of this idea is https://readlang.com

Oh great timing! I was just starting to play with building a toy project (https://github.com/bpevs/multireader) for practicing Spanish while reading books with my e-reader, but frankly, I'm just building it because I haven't found an app that works for me, and I'd rather spend time actually actually learning language...
Just playing with your app for a bit, and it's pretty cool! had a few questions though:
1. Wondering about the decision of using English books and translating pieces into other languages vs starting with (for example) a Spanish book, and translating the other way? Also, would something like this be a future thought of plan? Because currently I'm trying to read more popular books in my target language, rather than English books (right now, my toy app is just highlight arbitrary text -> send to azure translate). I tried to upload my book into your app in Spanish, but I guess it only works rn if the source is in English? Basically, a mode for even more immersion would be killer (Ala either full-target-languge mode or upload target language books).
2. The practice mode is pretty cool! I like this format of "complete the sentence". It looks like it's not based on book content at all, right? Would be cool to practice based on what I'm reading.
3. I'm reading on an e-reader, so I'd reeeeally like a no-animation/no-scroll mode. On an e-reader, the paginated page refreshing can help to reduce ghosting. Even better if there could be an e-reader mode that can flash the screen to further reduce ghosting issues on those devices.
This reminds me of the article comparing the computing power of the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer vs USB-C Chargers

Another interesting thing in this space is Traindown[1]. It's simply Markdown for your exercises. As an example for those who need convincing to go to a link, this could be a simple workout:
@ Mar 03 2024 08:00
# Unit: kg
# Bodyweight: 70
Squat:
40 12r
65 8r 2s
40 12r
Assisted Pull Up:
bw-20 12r
bw-5 6r
bw 2r
Highly recommended!
There it is! I've been looking for something like this!
I've been using my own homebrewed toml spec, but since I am more experienced with code than training, I was concerned if it would still work well as I become more experienced. Not sure if I'll use this, but good to see another interpretation of this kind of data!

If you're embedding videos, why not use a service like Vimeo that is made specifically for this purpose?
For me, $12/month
The crappification of YouTube has already begon with Shorts and the inability to disable this completely useless content.
fwiw I turned off history and all the recommendations settings, and now they hide the shorts and frontpage recs

Hah! That's awesome. I wasn't aware of it.
But yeah, it's not a new idea really. Even my original article was written, over a decade ago: https://blog.djordjeungar.com/post/2011-09-13-obscure-javasc...
And then there was that time some people used jsfuck to do xss on Ebay:

It changes your relationship to objects for sure. I see something cool in a store and my first thought is "ooof but that looks heavy".
