Long distance sound localization with the Raspberry Pi
My project, sbts-aru,
https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru
uses a GPS to synchronise the time with and then even when running completely disconnected from any network the clocks will be accurate to real time with less than 1 microsecond of error. Typically the system time hovers around 100 ns or less from the real time. And I’ve tested this by triggering interrupts on gpio’s on two devices with the same switch and printing the time.

How Home Assistant is being used to protect from missile and drone attacks
Nice to see people able to use tech to help reduce/manage their stress/trauma in such horrific situations.
Good point about telegram. As much local control as possible is desirable. Do the text to speech interfaces work offline with the chosen devices ? If so, I’ll likely have a play.
I have a project that might be able to help with your situation. A Raspberry Pi based sound localization system. It’s very accurate. Last weekend I localized an explosion (fireworks) to within 20m from the actual location with 4 recorders. two of which were 3km from each other.
Unlike most ARUs (autonomous recording units) which are based on microcontrollers and need post processing to determine an event start time, the Pi system could be used as the basis for a real time localization system as the system times is sub microsecond accurate.
With likely a small amount of new development and co-operation with your friends you could be alerted in real time when artillery or gunfire is getting close to you. Along with a map location of where it was fired from
My license forbids government use (attaching consequences to the small developer unfriendly cyber resilience act that is stealing from small developers and giving to rich ones) but personal civilian use is just fine.

(PS. I agree on with the sentiments of the above authors about war. It’s sad that our governments instead of putting everything into driving to peace are spending our future climate change defence money on destruction and they are gunning for it with an insane appetite)

RTK Experiments
Nice article and lovely piece of kit that one from sparkfun. Will likely be getting one next year to further my experiments with gunshot localization, on my Pi-based sound localization platform (https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru). Though at the distances I'm using the phone based GNSS seems to be working quite well.
With an RTk GNSS though I could do some experiments with localizing bat calls. I've tested the Pettersson Ultrasonic microphones with my localization platform and that works fine. I suspect that the bat localization I could achieve if my co-ordinates had RTK accuracy would be pretty damned good! But I have to try it to know.

Going in circles without a real-time clock
Unfortunately a Raspberry Pi is a bit ill suited for production environments. Id recommend an RTC module. Otherwise this might be helpful: https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru

Running a Raspberry Pi with a read-only root filesystem
If you install my sbts-aru project
https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru
It will shrink your partitions, add news and install one of these and set up a sub micro second system clock and an audio recorder suitable for sound localization with a single install command.

2024-03-01 listening in on the neighborhood
I recommend primo EM272 microphone capsules for use with https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru. They are high quality, very sensitive with high signal to noise ratio, lauded for nature recording use cases. They can be bought assembled for around 65 euros in the Netherlands. However these capsules are often found in much more expensive equipment.

Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
My sound localizing Raspberry Pi installs a resilient base system as part of its install.
https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru
https://hackaday.com/2023/12/30/localizing-fireworks-launche...
With one command it for all Pi’s for both Raspbian and bookworm it:
* Shrinks the file system (Gee, how does it do that with just one disk ? ;-) )

Colorado wolf reintroduction to move forward as ranchers' legal effort fails
I have a sound localization project that can help with that
https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru
You need to be able to hear the sound from three or more recorders. And normally localization is better within the polygon of microphones but there’s an area of better localizability extending outside of a vertex.

Acoustic Location and Sound Mirrors
Interesting history!
And while we are in the subject of sound localizing may I take the liberty of introducing my new raspberry pi sound localizing audio recorder.
https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru
It installs with one command on all Raspberry Pi versions and synchronizes the system time to less than 1 microsecond of error with a cheap GPS.
With three of these I’ve been able to sound localize the explosions from illegal fireworks to a specific car park from more than 3km away with lots of houses in between.
When I got to the car park I could smell the sulphur from the fireworks.
This will even run on a Raspberry Pi zero running of a battery with a 6 euro neo 7m gps and a 6 euro usb mic.

AI tool helps ecologists monitor rare birds through their songs
Very nice tool!
So grab a spare Raspberry Pi, a GPS, a cheap USB sound card and a mic and get recording with this Pi based Acoustic Recording Unit
https://github.com/hcfman/sbts-aru
And while you are at it, install 3x or more and localize where the birds are.

Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
Sure! The first thing I did was follow this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7i4amO_zaE
This is ThePrimeagen's 0 to LSP, Neovim RC from Scratch. In this video he performs a clean installation of Neovim and goes step by step adding the things he considers essential. This was very important for me to acquaint myself with how things work, how to install plugins, how to define custom key maps. I remember the first times I tried using Vim, I couldn't figure out how to get Nerdtree to work. This video made me realize I just lacked the knowledge of how Vim config works.
This video was such a good start because It provided me with the tools to continue my exploration of Vim autonomously. In a week I was already able to install new plugins and tweak them using Lua config files the way I specifically wanted. It's such a cool experience!
Keep in mind that both the author of this video and I use Neovim, which is a fork of Vim. As a text editor they both function essentially the same. The difference lies on the config files and in broader UI capabilities by Neovim. While Vim uses Vimscript, Neovim prefers Lua, although Neovim is fully backwards compatible, so you can choose to use Vimscript for your configuration if you want as well. This also means that Vim plugins just work with Neovim!
The docs are also a huge source of knowledge for me. In the beginning I resorted to :help key-codes a lot when defining key mappings.
To learn the Vim motions, which is the most challenging part of using Vim, I suggest you find a cheatsheet online and refer to it all the time. One very cool plugin that will help you get comfortable with Vim motions is ThePrimeagen's VimBeGod: https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/vim-be-good. It's a set of game-like exercises to practice the motions. This is also pretty cool and helped a lot: https://vimsnake.com/. It's a classic snake game where instead of using arrow keys, you use HJKL. And speaking of arrow keys, one thing I did very early on was disabling them (or, in reality, remapping them to noop) in normal mode so I was forced to move around the text using Vim Motions.
At first you will get frustrated because your brain will need some time to rewire in a way to absorb all the new abstractions Vim presents. It's a whole new logic of editing text. The most important thing is to stick to it and you will be surprised with how fast you end up picking things up. Of course, don't expect to be crazy fast in a few weeks. But right now, after a little over a month, I no longer feel that discomfort using Vim anymore. I suppose I'd still be faster on VS Code, but I really want to master Vim, so I'm sticking with it and I feel a constant improvement.

Ask HN: How do I code offline for a week?
If you're not familiar with Vim, I'd encourage you to download a few Vim cheatsheets, the VimBeGood extension[1] and practice navigating code in Vim.

Practicing VIM
For Neovim, then this Hardtime plugin will help you change the habit, and this vim-be-good from Primeagen helps learn vim motion. TJ DeVries is also a good source to learn.

Please help a noob.
I'm trying to NeoVim (and vi) in general having never used it. I decided to start with VimBeGood but I can't get it to launch a game. I've gotten the plugin installed but when I run :VimBeGood it just shows the screen saying "to play a game delete that line." I deleted words and noob but after that I'm lost. Nothing happens. What did I do wrong?
