This is incredibly cool. Licensing it as AGPL-v3 throws up an interesting question - given the thing this produces is your company as code, if you use this does your entire company count as a larger work that would need to be open sourced?

Really interesting, thank you! They do seem very rare in comparison to ANPR, although maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. Durham, Plymouth and Wokingham are talking about Red Speed and Acusensus but given basically all 300 odd c

Interesting. I just ran a similar search for « ANPR » which I think is the UK equivalent, in UK local government meetings and it’s mentioned about 80 times a month, which from a cursory glance looks like it’s more than are being shown here.

Publishing everything local councils do in the UK at https://opencouncil.network - trying to help people feel like they know who and what they’re voting for next May. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see people’s changing opini

We use openwhisper for transcription which accepts a list of "words to look out for" which we populate with a short list of the names of all the people and companies most likely to be mentioned in the text, and then we do a spell

The terrain isn’t difficult - straightforward hiking with no special gear required - but you can make it as easy or hard as you like by varying the number of days you do it over. Famously the UTMB is a race that does roughly the same route

I will never forget watching a kookaburra swoop down as my grandmother went to take a bite out of a bacon sandwich, and stealing a piece of bacon out of it without touching her or the bread. It then sat on a branch whacking the bacon agains

Worth noting that in the UK if you say « this is obviously predatory and isn’t going to hold up in small claims court » this requirement almost always disappears and they tell you that just this one time they’ll be nice and cancel from toda

Before chunking, run coreference resolution to get rid of all of your pronouns and replace them with explicit references. You need to be a bit of careful to ensure you chunk both processed and unprocessed versions in the same places but it’

The BBC has a laudable goal of trying to be "balanced" which unfortunately is often poorly implemented as giving equal credence to both sides of an argument, even when doing so paints a wildly innaccurate picture. If you look at t

I tried following this recipe - it was tasty but very heavy and greasy. Perhaps philosophy and cooking do not require the same talents.

This is true, but not the primary story here. Illegal immigration numbers are about 50k for the period, whilst legal immigration netted out (minus emigration) at about 500k for the period, and "natural growth" (i.e. births minus d

This is what Route2 is building. It's not a pure-play software solution or an external policing force; it depends on large amounts of work done by analysts and cooperation from the companies themselves. However, the motivation to drive

Looks like they could well have been CNC routed - if you turn them sideways they're a 2D design so it might be even easier than 3D printing them (and pretty!)

Perhaps, or perhaps it's the traditions and rituals that allow the community to last so long.

I just got a fabulous recipe from the uncanny valley of cooking. Almost viable, with just a few mistakes that would have made it both impossible to follow and, if followed as closely as possible, disgusting. A glorious effort :) Reminds me

I went to go and re-instate your edit. When I got there, exactly where it was, someone's now put in a citation to an article that explains the answer perfectly: https://medium.com/@rothgar/why-kubernetes-is-abbrevi

Talking about the normal behaviour of humanity is like talking about the normal outcome of addition. It depends entirely on the inputs.

This is an unpopular opinion on HN, and I'm not sure I agree with it, but I am delighted that you've made it here. It's something worth debating in this group.

I used the google maps VR app the other day and it is exactly this. It’s incredible.

I agree with everything you say, but I have a more positive interpretation of where the current shitshow is going. We’ve found a new Wild West of opportunity in the internet and the first people to understand how it works and build somethin

Whilst it’s true that fewer and fewer consumers use RSS, it’s still a very powerful way for aggregators to source stories and drive readers to the original publisher. Think about it more as an api for building a “shopfront” for your news st

I’m a huge proponent for paid news, but that’s a bit of a strawman argument. Reuters hasn’t made their rss paid, or removed all of their free news content. It is sad that we’re losing a uniquely powerful mechanism for consuming news because

I don't want to be rude, so please tell me if you do, but do you have a source for that? It sounds quite a lot like a "think of the children" argument and whilst I can see people having made that claim elsewhere, I don't

This appears to be deceptive marketing. The technology that's being discussed here is just taking a hash of the image at the point when it's created and using a third party service and standard cryptography to authenticate it. You

If you can't understand a contract you're signing, you aren't really signing it. It's a very protective industry - you go through a lot of very expensive and time-consuming training and selection to get to be a certified
