The Mercurial Grok AI Assistant Understands & Speaks Indian Languages

Image
Grok , the AI model developed by Elon Musk's xAI, can understand when you type Indian languages like Hindi, Telugu, Odia or other Indian regional languages using English letters (like when you type 'namaste' instead of 'नमस्ते'), and it can respond by mixing English with those languages. Grok doesn't necessarily need the native script of these languages. It has natural language processing abilities that extend to multiple languages. This is great innovation because many people in India, especially in online communication, use transliteration. Grok can generate responses that combine English words and phrases with words and phrases from the regional language you used in your input. For example, if you ask a question using a mix of English and Telugu transliteration, Grok might respond with a sentence that includes both English and Telugu words. Check these Hindi, Telugu, Odiya samples - Grok, ab Hindi mein Grōk, ippuḍu telugulō Grok, Oḍiā re This way Grok is more...

HOW TO extract subtitles from a YouTube video

[Update - 2022]  YouTube now automatically generates a transcript & timestamp that can be toggled Subtitles within videos help non-native speakers clearly understand & follow what's going on while the video is playing. If you wish to take notes from a YouTube video, you will find this tip for extracting the subtitles from a YouTube video (that has subtitles) to be a time-saver. I have adapted this tip from an answer to a related question on the Quora website - Open the video page in Chrome browser (or any other browser that provides HTTP debugging/Developer Tools) and pause the video Right click anywhere on the page, and click on Inspect Element OR hit the F12 function key. Click on Network tab Under the Network tab look for an item called timedtext.  Right click on it and open that file in a new tab. An xml file containing subtitles with their timestamps(the stuff inside of <>) opens up. To get rid of the timestamps and just have the plain transcript...

Skribbl.io Tips

Image
Skribbl.io is a multi-player competitive doodling & word guessing game with elements of Dumb Charades & Pictionary .  Each game consists of about 3 rounds. In every round someone has to draw their chosen word and others have to guess it to gain points.  When its your turn to draw, you have to choose a word (which can be a noun, verb or adjective) from three options and visualize that word in 80 seconds. Alternatively when somebody else is drawing you have to type your guess into the chat to gain points. The earlier you guess a word the more points you get. The person with the most points at the end of game will then be crowned as the winner . As a long time doodler, I like how the game is designed.  As the game requires you to visualize a word and draw on the spot, it is a great fun test of creativity. It has helped me to imagine better and also appreciate how other competitors think and draw. As a web developer, I admire how the minimalistic game is designed an...
