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…

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 Re…

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 cu…

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 inc…

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…

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. F…

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 …

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 …

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 p…

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 pai…

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…

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…

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.

Depends how many thousands ;) light travels about 3000km in 10ms https://www.google.com/search?q=speed+of+light+*+10ms

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 close…

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/…

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 th…

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 i…

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 los…

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 h…
