Ask HN: When do you just give up and ship it?
Products are never really finished, they're always evolving and growing and changing, for better or worse. At what point do you draw the line, call it quits on further breaking changes, and ship it? Asking for a friend.

Show HN: Near-perfect English AI translation of a classic of Japanese literature
Recently I launched BookTranslate.ai but at launch there wasn't really anything to see on the site. I should have thought about creating public demos before I launched, but now I added a few, including this one.
I ran a blind analysis on the translation with Gemini: https://aistudio.google.com/app/prompts/1ZqeijNulqinp7D7wK1J...
This is huge, in my opinion. I don't mean it to brag or sell, I mean it as a matter of fact that no other software can produce this level of quality right now and people thought machine translation will never be capable of this. I'm constantly amazed by how good the output of this system is and I have barely been able to sleep because of the excitement for days haha
There is another full book demo on the site too, a non-fiction french to english translation of a 19th century political philosophy book which is similarly amazing in terms of quality. It rivals any human translation, and frankly, I've been in the publishing business for a decade and I can say it blows away half of them because there is so many bad translation out there in the bookstores.
I genuinely think this is a gamechanger.
A translation like this takes about an hour or two btw.

Ask HN: Is there a Wikipedia or LLM wrapper for kids (with parental controls)?
I would like to give my 11yo access to wikipedia and an LLM for the purpose of self directed learning. Is there a wrapper for these with parental controls? Ideally this would be a webapp or iOS app.
