Jsme zase na #BehejLesy s @maptiler.bsky.social

začínáme za chvíli, 220km v osmi lidech

Nálada v týmu je pesimistická, přes rok jsme moc netrenovali a největší tahouni týmu se neúčastní.

Pokud každý z nás nabere ztrátu oproti loňsku 1min/km, bude nám to trvat o 3 hodiny dýl.

A protože jsme se na oficiální mapu nemohli dívat, udělali jsme si vlastní

Eagle-eyed product developer @parkerortolani spotted something in Apple's WWDC 2025 presentation: Mastodon. During designer Billy Sorrentino's section on visual intelligence, there's a clear shot of @ivory. "It was clearly both a way to subtly show developers what they can do with their own apps, but also read as a sort of endorsement of Mastodon as a social platform," Ortolani writes on his blog. "Apple didn’t show Bluesky, Threads, or X. They chose to show a third-party Mastodon client."

There is a new list on Groups.io dedicated to the discussion of Braille embossers.
The following is taken from a message sent from Seeing Hands to the Braille Display Users list.

"Since they are considered off-topic for this list but we've had a few threads about them in the last month, I have started a group on groups.io for discussing and offering support with Braille embossers. I imagine it would be quite similar to this list, only with a focus on Braille on paper instead of displays. You can subscribe to this list at:
groups.io/g/braille-embossers
or by sending email to:
braille-embossers+subscribe@groups.io


braille-embossers groups.io Group

This list is intended for users of Braille embossers to discuss hardware, software, and practices for transcribing Braille, get support with devices that manufacturers no longer work with, and exchange information relevant to Braille production and r…

oof: trying to install @thunderbird from flathub on arm64 tries to pull in the GNOME 3.28 (!!) platform because it's not the "Built 9 days ago" you see on the web page – that's built from a script with hardcoded x86_64 stuff >_< and, uh, non-ESR is default now but it's still ESR-only on flathub!

Ubuntu Server Seed Changes for 25.10

I thought it would be great to have #PiHole, but accessible from anywhere. And then I came across #AdGuard Home and deployed on my public server. It's open source, all the data stays on the server, it just downloads the filter updates. It has a nice dashboard and from our network it's as fast as #Cloudflare or Google #DNS.

I think I'll give it a shot. 👍

Napsal jsem pro @ohlasy jednoduchého novinového LLM chatbota do Slacku, GPT 4.1 nad korpusem zhruba dvou tisíc našich článků (github.com/Ohlasy/boskobot). Říkal jsem si, že když bude vypadat užitečně, mohli bychom ho nabídnout veřejně našemu publiku. Zatím je s ním velká prča, ale na část běžných dotazů dobře pokrytých existujícími texty odpovídá velmi přesvědčivě špatně. Je možný, že dělám něco špatně já nebo že ta technologie dozraje, ale zatím je pro nás pro tenhle use case spíš nepoužitelná.

Ta technologie te nemuze pripravit o praci, protoze te zamestnava nekdo, kdo ji nepouziva a nerozumi. Ten pokrok je fakt rychlej a neni to ani tak o aplikacich, ale fakt podkladovych modelech a jejich cene. Je realna sance, ze se dostaneme do bodu, kde beznou koderskou praci udela kombinace pouceneho PM + AI nebo full-time clovek-vyvojar za srovnatelne naklady ve stejne kvalite.

A new analysis of C-2 reports on how the bill proposes to expand the scope of law enforcement to access individuals’ online “subscriber information.”

Such information could be sought without a warrant, and law enforcement could compel even foreign telecoms to supply it.

Today saw the introduction of something ntruly worthy of celebration: a modern, 64bit, truly responsive formant-neural sapi voice for Windows. Today also saw the introduction of a recording that is based around the fact that that demo of the voice does actually downsample after a minute of audio. However, it does not do the impending craziness that I put it through before activating the license.

Zach Bennoui reshared this.

@bermudianbrit @Scott @ToniBarth @FreakyFwoof Well, some crucial Eloquence license contracts are long dead, Given the amount of Code Factory products that have quietly dropped Eloquence. With that plus the pile inside of a pile inside of a pile of retrofit patches applied to the thing, it truly is only a matter of time until the thing dies for good. Dectalk's situation is too ambiguous to be an all-purpose solutions. Espeak's GPL-ness...

@bermudianbrit @Scott @ToniBarth @FreakyFwoof Yeah, the situation around embeddable voices is really not that great. Cerrence Vocalizer is probably the best thing that exists right now. That or Acapela, which is getting out of the AT / on-device business AFAIK. SVox Pico is technically fully OSS and permissively licensed, but that's only the "inference" code. The voice preparation stuff is either provided as proprietary exes or missing entirely, the documentation around voice training is not that great either.

@miki @bermudianbrit @Scott @ToniBarth @FreakyFwoof No, Acapela still has Humanware. plus some AAC software, for now. Although the only one that's guaranteed on-device at this point is HW, as AAC software can go cloud-native if it wants to. And I"m pretty sure they're doing just enough to kee ptheir embedded library alive, and that's about it.

@jcsteh @FreakyFwoof For long strings and some interruptions I can feel a difference between this and OneCore, with OneCore winning speed-wise. Not by a huge amount here, but it's a thing. Shorter strings like OSARA reports, moving around most dialogs etc, they feel super close on my machine. A lot faster than the neural stuff I've been using via... er... methods. For now that's the main thing. I can use one of these on stream and point people at a legit source if they like them/want to get them.

@FreakyFwoof @Scott The thing that blows my mind is that NVDA's recent SAPI5 responsiveness improvements come down to only two things: switching to WASAPI (assuming SAPI5 didn't already use WASAPI itself); and stripping silence from the start of utterances. I'm guessing it's mostly the silence stripping that gives the responsiveness boost here. Which raises the question: why the hell do so many synths append useless silence to the start of utterances? That just seems like deliberate self-sabotage.

@vick21 @FreakyFwoof @Scott Just tabbing around in the NVDA Voice settings dialog. It just felt sluggish to me in responsiveness compared to OneCore. Measuring scientifically would require all sorts of set-up I'm not quite willing to do right now. :) Obviously I'm not going to compare with eSpeak; that's an unfair comparison. Note that I have rate for both set fairly high.
