On: Show HN: Open-source, native audio turn detection model

[ry167]

Detecting when one user of a conversation has finished talking.

It’s a big deal for detecting human speech when interacting with LLM systems

Like a lot of biology, it’s complicated and often you need multiple forms of evidence to support a species classification if the viable offspring (biological species concept) doesn’t suit.

So there are lots of different models for different types of organisms. And some reproduce asexually so reproductive compatibility would never be enough.

Two simple options are evolutionary lineage (effectively genetic distance) or physical characteristics (morphology): https://bio.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_...

That article is about Shannon, a town of 1500 people on a state highway. There is a detour in place causing it to be entirely skipped by most drivers.

It bears no resemblance car usage in cities at all.

Yes. That's why it depends on the location. Cities with mostly high-rise apartment buildings will be different to single family home suburbs. You can't just take some research and assume it applies to any specific other case.

On: Ask HN: Anyone can help me create a RSS feed for indiehackers.com?

[ry167]

If you are looking for interviews, you can use Inspect Elements Network tab to see the requests that your browser makes.

There is a POST request to Algolia (search provider, same as HN) that you could take and re-create in your own system to generate the RSS feed.

The POST data you are looking for is something like:

``` {"requests":[{"indexName":"interviews_publishedAt_desc","params":"query=&page=0&hitsPerPage=20"}]} ```

With all of that said - your best bet is to ask @csallen on Twitter or post on IH itself.

That's a good first start. Thank you!

On: Adobe to Acquire Magento

[ry167]

This is likely the reason they are shutting down an existing Website platform of theirs, Business Catalyst. [1]

While it was a dated system (purchased in 2009) it came as quite a surprise that it was reaching the end of its life.

I think it will be very interesting where Adobe takes this

And magento isn't dated? It'd probably make more sense if they bought someone like shopify

On: Ask HN: What are the OSS alternatives to iOS/Android?

[ry167]

Android is open source: https://source.android.com/

[Synaesthesia → ry167]

Portions of it, lots of it is not.

[pawadu → Synaesthesia]

If you think that, how do you define Android?

[Synaesthesia → pawadu]

There's AOSP admire android. AOSP is open source which is some components of the Android system - however a lot of Android is not just AOSP. A lot of it is Google web services and other proprietary stuff.

[floatboth → Synaesthesia]

You don't have to use "Google Android" to use Android. LineageOS + F-Droid + microG is a very good setup, I use it on my phone.

The real problem is the hardware driver blobs.

[pawadu → Synaesthesia]

But many of these services are also available on iOS.

Would you still consider them part of Android?
