This is very cool, looking forward to it! I've been doing the same thing with Spanish Wikipedia articles for a while, using a few lines of Bash + Regex. I was using Apertium for it. https://apertium.org/ It's definitely worse than most ML-based solutions, but it works reliably and fast; you can run it entirely offline. With Spanish translations, the main problem I was facing is lack of vocabulary, so I created - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
I used to keep track of the state of machine translation some years back. I think the way you measure the success of an automated translation is edit distance, i.e. How many manual edits you need to make to a translated text before you reach some acceptable state. I suppose it's somewhat subjective, but it is possible to construct a benchmark and allow for multiple correct results. The best resources I knew back... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Apertium is one of them. We make open-source rule-based machine translation systems, and our core tools are in C++. A few of our proposed ideas involve modifying those C++ tools with new features or improvements to existing features. Source: about 3 years ago
For me, I do that too. The tablet is my primary and tied to my stratux for ADSB/weather/GPS for navigation and awareness. Having a list of frequencies and VOR settings on the old junk I use, a marked up map is really handy. I like doing a loop around MSP (KFCM > KLVN > KSGS > KSTP > KANE > KMIC > KFCM) so a lot of frequency jumps. You can see what the EFB is more or less going to look like - so a sharpie on... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Technically these are referred to as "charts" and not maps. :) Another fun (and free!) resource is SkyVector, which automatically stitches them together and has tons of useful features for flight planning. https://skyvector.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
If you’re in the US you can use skyvector to get most charts, which helps find sids and stars for commercial. For GA I love VOR navigation which are the blue compass roses you see everywhere. You have to dial the given frequency into your nav radio and set the course to intercept it at the desired heading. With two VORS (nav 1 and nav 2) you can triangulate your position without the GPS.

To practice GPS navigation from one place to another, I'll pick a takeoff and landing airport, then go to skyvector.com and input a flight plan. Then I'll choose the 'Routes' link on the right-middle of the flight plan input. Then I'll press the Nav Log button on the bottom right of the flight plan input. From that I'll put in the waypoints into the GPS. Source: 5 months ago
A suggestion for much further down the line: a timeline on the map which composites many maps from a similar time period so you can see them all stitched together (somewhat like how https://skyvector.com/ stitches together multiple sectional charts into a continuous map, though I know it can't be as seamless). - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
