On festival sites and other crowded events, cellular sometimes gets quite saturated and slow. This might be a good alternative. Also, I could see it as a useful tool in emergency situations. But a lot of people would need to use it to be ac

I checked and apparently, Apple supports broadcast channels for push. The app only stores the channel information and Apple stores the mapping of devices to channels. So while Apple still has the data, the dev does not.

Thanks for the elaborate response! I recently looked at doing something similar and ended up with the option of using vector embeddings. Is that something you've considered?

It put this post at the top of my feed, which is cool, because it's incredibly relevant to my interests. I used to work on something similar, but way before LLMs were a thing. Would you be willing to share some more of the architecture

The best way to understand a car is to build a car. Hardly anyone is going to do that, but we still all use them quite well in our daily lives. In large part because the companies who build them spend time and effort to improve them and tak

Cool, this feels like OpenSCAD, but for music. I'm very visually oriented, so I don't think this would work for me (neither does OpenSCAD), but I really like the concept.

Can you elaborate? Your comment is vague enough to both pique my interest and also to require a ton of assumptions to mean anything.

What they had in the Jeopardy era was far from an LLM or GenAI. From what I've been able to deduce, they had a massive Lucene index of data that they expected to be relevant for Jeopary. They then created a ton of UIMA based NLP pipeli
