People should be more aware of what the license open source software is developed under allows.

Amazon can wrap an open source project in an AWS front end and create a paid for cloud service off the back of community effort. Or, key contributors can decide they want to take the existing code and change the license their contributions are released under going forward.

If the original license allows both these things to happen, then both are a risk and no one is being fooled.

> How many AEDs should a facility have?

> When responding to someone who has suffered Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), immediate action is critical for saving lives. The sooner that bystanders treat the SCA victim with a defibrillation shock from an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), the more likely that they will survive.

> According to [US OSHA], of the 350,000 people who die from SCA outside the hospital in the United States each year, 10,000 lives are lost in the workplace. By having defibrillators throughout offices and facilities, businesses are able to protect the lives of both their workforce and visitors.

How on earth does one App man in the middle another App’s traffic? This is a huge security vulnerability! If Facebook can install an App like this on iOS or Android, then other companies could do a similar thing.

Yes but specifically mentioning AGPL would have been extremely relevant. It's something that often feels like a thing only licence geeks widely understand.
Intentionally terrible website design...why?
I’ll explain why this is not necessarily true. If you are able to take home leftovers, there is less incentive not to end up with leftovers. Hence the amount of leftovers should _increase_ as a whole. Some of those leftovers will be left in the restaurant by customer choice (resulting in waste) and some will be taken home. Some of the food taken home will not be eaten which then also will become waste.

So the question as to which system results in less waste boils down to a question that must be answered experimentally.

Reducing waste on a societal level is complex. Cultural practices of restaurants boxing food to take away may result in less waste but it may also result in more waste.
This is HN, so I'm surprised that no one in the comments section has run this locally. :)

Following the instructions in their repo (and moving the checkpoints/ and resources/ folder into the "nested" openvoice subfolder), I managed to get the Gradio demo running. Simple enough.

It appears to be quicker than XTTS2 on my machine (RTX 3090), and utilizes approximately 1.5GB of VRAM. The Gradio demo is limited to 200 characters, perhaps for resource usage concerns, but it seems to run at around 8x realtime (8 seconds of speech for about 1 second of processing time.)

EDIT: patched the Gradio demo for longer text; it's way faster than that. One minute of speech only took ~4 seconds to render. Default voice sample, reading this very comment: https://voca.ro/18JIHDs4vI1v
I had to write out acronyms -- XTTS2 to "ex tee tee ess two", for example.

The voice clarity is better than XTTS2, too, but the speech can sound a bit stilted and, well, robotic/TTS-esque compared to it. The cloning consistency is definitely a step above XTTS2 in my experience -- XTTS2 would sometimes have random pitch shifts or plosives/babble in the middle of speech.

You're confusing two different things:

- “filter bubbles” that are automatically enforced by whatever opaque algorithm made to boost “engagement” (and ads revenue)

- and the ability for people to join independent forums that are moderated locally (and from which they can move if they dislike the moderation policy). People joining groups where they feel well is not “filter bubbles”, it's how the internet worked before some people tried to rule it all.
Any particular reason you think that or just are you just a naturally good guesser?
Every beltway bandit is like that to some degree. Some try to manage an internal fund and have "on the bench" staff do training or some internal projects, while others will give you a week or two to find something or you're let go. The real pychopath contractor encourages you to "poach" contracts from fellow employees. Basically think of yourself as an independent contractor and the company acting as a support staff and expect little to no loyalty from corporate.

I know government staff hates this too. When a project starts to wind down or enter the last 3-6 months, the contractors start disappearing: not showing up for meetings, progress slows, etc. because they are all out looking for their next contract so they don't have a gap.

I've been on HN since 2007 man.
I'm concerned that this comment and a sibling are interpreting what I said to mean "HN users know the truth and other people haven't caught up yet". That's not what I mean.

On a continuum with preferring the truth on one end, and preferring good vibes on the other: communities like HN and Less Wrong are very far on the preferring the truth end. Much more so than the general population, which prefers good vibes. I called this difference "radical", and I think that's apt.

You can see this in practice. Someone forcing an unpleasant truth on someone else is much more acceptable on HN, than in cocktail party conversation, or in the line at the grocery store, or even on reddit.

It's a statement about the kind of discussion that is welcomed/encouraged, not the beliefs of the median HN user.

Nah, a proper anecdote should end with 'and you could check a one checkbox at the gov site and instead of the scan you would receive the 'printed' PDF/A with the text layer intact'.

But yeah, there is always a way to optimize. Even if making a clean room implementation (ie not looking at the source of that DOOM captcha) you can easily narrow down a recognition to a couple of 2x2 blocks and just pattern match them against a known background (ie not a monster).

SQLFlow: DuckDB for Stream Processing – 45k messages/second
Hello Everyone, having lots of fun figuring out ways to use DuckDB in common data operations. Already seeing huge savings in traditional data engineering applications replacing data warehouse queries with duckdb over blob storage (parquet).

SQLFlow uses duckdb to process kafka streaming data.

The goal is to create an environment where stream logic can be expressed in pure SQL with a simple and performant deployment, leveraging kafka consumer groups for state management.

The new in-memory processor easily handles 45,000 messages / second for simple aggregation.

I'd really appreciate feedback on features that would make this more useful. It's basically just a POC at this point.

"because teachers must slow down and adjust their approach to keep everyone on track."

Do this and then you'll have your top performers start being absent as well -- out of boredom.

I'd suggest sending kids that are lagging behind, and those that have high absentee rates, into remedial classes. Education should get kids excited about learning. From my experience, nothing gets kids more excited than the feeling that they've accomplished something. Make them sit in a room to rehash the same old crap over and over and you lose the ones you want.

This is the first thing you should disable as soon as your public key is on the server.
The ripple effect from our unhinged covid response continues to be felt in countless places, from school absenteeism to downtown office space values to public transportation and on and on. We created new habits that are hard to break and naturally none of the hysterics who tried to unwind society gave any thought to anything besides trying to temporarily feel “safe.” There’s always a tradeoff…
In this specific case the shadows do not fit the style, they make things look blurry instead of distinct.
> attendance has become optional

I recognize this with my own kids and my students. Two things: 1) since the pandemic the bar for a sick day has been lowered drastically. 2) Educational material can be found online in most of the cases, at least in my university. Students think they can handle it themselves from home.

These are not necessarily bad developments. What would be interesting to see is if the drop out rate has increased.
Contributing to a foundation may be a trap too. If you assign your copyrights to a foundation, in many jurisdictions you no longer have control of the code you wrote. That means they could license the code in a way that you wouldn't do.

We are not redefining what it means; that the source is available does not make it Open Source. It's pretty clear, but Google is the SSPL open source and you'll find pages and pages of EFF/FOSS etc articles and explanations why it cannot be open source because section 13. It's AGPL (which is Open Source) with that section added.

From another comment: https://opensource.org/blog/the-sspl-is-not-an-open-source-l...
Do you really think this is a good faith offer? It is just extortion, at least the AGPLv3 applies to the AGPLv3 software you're using ONLY.
I think people will take issue with this comment due to hating anything that is not open source, but I think that it rings true.

> The author wrongfully believes all SSPL licensed code would be “open source” otherwise. This is incorrect. SSPL is good compared to the default, which is closed source.

The other alternative would be not really having enough funding to keep developing the software, especially if a larger org comes along and earns money from it and you get nothing. Surely we know that many open source projects are struggling: https://staltz.com/software-below-the-poverty-line.html

And if you don't think about protecting your code or ideas, things like this will inevitably happen: https://keivan.io/the-day-appget-died/

If someone wants to have AGPL or SSPL for their software, that's okay. If I find myself in circumstances where I can't use their project or code because of this (e.g. closed source project for someone else, where that would be an issue), that's just what I'll have to deal with.
Author of the article here!

The article itself does not "complain the product is bad" but some other comments in this thread would certainly suggest so. Instead, the article says that the use-case evolved, states reasons for why MongoDB was no longer suitable (while at some point it was) and why PostgreSQL was chosen instead, and discusses the migration process involved in the transition and the results.

Regarding lacking support with cloud providers and lacking experience with MongoDB is indeed NOT MongoDB's problem. However, it is a problem for users of the platform that are trying to self-host it with MongoDB as a database dependency and therefore justifies the PostgreSQL migration with PostgreSQL being a better candidate for this use-case.

To be clear, the article is not saying that MongoDB is bad and no fingers are being pointed. I would in fact say that there are an array of use-cases where MongoDB is an excellent choice (e.g. I resonate with the point on rapid prototyping).

Please don't skew the words.

> It's hard to explain why we don't do it in the UK

Due to various factors, we can't afford to make more food for that price. So we charge the same (or more) for less food on the plate compared to other countries.

> Also, like almost everything cultural in the UK, I expect it is rooted in class snobbery. If you need to take away, maybe this indicates that you're poor and need to make a meal last. These aren't conscious prejudices, they're relics of the past and subconscious.

This is just you having a hammer and everything looking like a nail. If you're shamefully poor, you're not eating out at all. Cheap takeaway food like fish and chips is definitely not shameful, and people of all socioeconomic classes eat it.
Transaction volume meaning.. the number of transactions processed by the network?

If you meant monetary volume, you should have used a different term than one which is well-recognized to refer to the number of transactions (both in and out of blockchain applications of that term)

edit: I see, you're suggesting the fees are cheaper because the token is cheaper, and somehow seem to think EVM networks will have a straightforward relationship between the number of transactions and the cost denominated in their gas token.

I don't see how this follows. The fees are entirely a function of network constants and usage, which have more to do with what people are willing to pay to get their transaction into a block.

Ethereum has a limited amount of block-space, and a fixed number of blocks per year. The gas price isn't entirely a bidding system, because there's basically a floating multiplier which adjusts automatically based on the "fullness" of the most recent however many blocks, but the principle is that you need some form of congestion control

In blockchains which have larger blocks, or more numerous blocks, or a number of blocks/block-size which adjust based on usage, it is not as costly to get a transaction included.

So I don't know about Cardano or Algorand, but many networks can handle as many transactions as ethereum while having much cheaper transaction fees, which seemed to be the point you were arguing against
> Students think they can handle it themselves from home.

Some have show to do well from home, especially when schools opened up a little bit at the end of the pandemic: all was online, some students thrived!

Oh, OK. I think that the "because animals are conscious" part is only retro-fitted to the "don't make animals suffer (because I don't like it)" argument. I think it's a somewhat disingenuous post-hoc justification, but people convince themselves of it. So in a sense, yes, they think animals are conscious: most people will readily take this argument out, parade it around, and sometimes they do science that's supposed to relate to it, or refer to that science and think and worry about the argument ... but I still think it arises from mere justification of a feeling and is essentially hollow and therefore (breathe) although people say they see animals as conscious, they aren't really meaningfully looking because they already decided in advance, and it's not really sincere thought that they put into it. But this is just, like, my opinion.
Actually, that's the whole point of RDBs: that you can alter your data model (in most cases) just by a simple DDL+DML query. And it is with NoSQL that you have to manually download all the affected data from the DB, run the transformation with consistency checks, and upload it back. Or, alternatively, you have to write your business logic so that it can work with/transform on-demand all the different versions of data objects, which to my taste is even more of a nightmarish scenario.
I remember getting to school for the 7:45 AM class as some of the worst times of my childhood. Imagine a deep Polish winter, it’s -15 Celsius, you get up at 6:30 in complete darkness, you walk to a bus station to get on an overcrowded bus where you can barely even stand as all the other kids are going too. then starting the day with an hour of math with a sociopathic, incompetent teacher… it took me years to appreciate school and learning again

I enjoyed your story of growing up in a mountain village in Romania.

About tuica, the article calls it "plum brandy", and says people usually sip it. That sounds delicious! It reminds me of a popular home-made plum brandy in Czechia called Slivovice. I got it as a gift once, it was strong stuff. I loved the taste and smell of plums, and felt healthy and strong after a shot or two.

Aha I see it's actually popular in many countries.

> Slivovitz is produced in Central, Eastern and Southern Europe, both commercially and privately. Primary producers include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine. In the Balkans, slivovitz is considered a kind of rakia. In Hungary it is considered a kind of pálinka, but in Romania and Moldova it is considered pălincă, similar to țuică.

So you would want to take the risk testing this out with your company? I don't, so ... Closed source, I know the direct legal risks at least. This might not be tested, but no company will want to test it. AGPL is also avoided like the plague by the way by big corps.

post-covid people are more hesitant to send their kids to school slightly sick or when there are sick siblings / parents in the household.

They are probably bad developments, as much as we want to pretend kids are strong minded independent learners, the reality is they are kids and need guidance and a teacher to instill discipline.

This is something we've known for millennia that we want to pretend isn't true because it's more convenient to ignore, also because of our obsession with venerating youth culturally.

Is it possible that expectations around attendance have never been reasonable or even safe?

In an ideal world, people shouldn't go to work or school when they are sick. Not only does it slow their recovery, but in the case of communicable diseases, it spreads the illness.

Yet a lot of schools have released post-pandemic guidance about how students should still come to school with minor illnesses. And most workplaces have dialed back extra sick time that was available during the first couple of years of COVID.

He died in prison. I don't know how much more subject to laws you can possibly get.
The article highlights that many parents whose children are absent are treating the posted assignments/homework as the primary teaching tool, so cutting that back hurts absent kids (I also understand that homework’s has been massively scaled back already in most places). Shorter days unfortunately interferes with school’s role as state-provided daycare for working parents.

Later days is a solid idea, and I believe research shows it improves student performance at the highschool level, although if I understand correctly this is largely a scheduling/budget issue with how busses are staggered today.

There is no requirement to make money to have a successful open source project.

That being said. Monetizing open source is fine so long as people are up front about from the beginning. People are upset because switching the license is effectively changing the rules in the middle of the game.

It is like going out to a restaurant and in the middle of your meal they change policy from having free refills to charging per cup. Either policy is fine, but changing policies is a scumbag move. A lot of people would have never sat down to eat there if the extra drinks weren't going to be free. Especially if free drinks was the sole reason a lot of them were going there.
