Well radio is awesome and I think it's making comeback. What do you think?

I absolutely loved it. I have some suggestions that you could add in the next release First of all, if there are 10 items that are near to me, maybe you could judge them and rank them and then show it to them. So, well, something could be five miles away which is much better than something that is four miles away. Right now it is very, you know, it's ranked based on the amount of time it would take to reach it. That is the kilometers or the miles. We would love to have that circle, you know, the half hour walk from you but still have some secondary ranking but something is really great but only two miles extra. Well, show it to them, show it to me. Another thing is if you could get some reviews or something from Google API or something. I don't know if that's technically feasible for that amount of data. It most probably isn't but if it is or if there's some other way or even you could ask people to review on your website itself, maybe that would be also great to know that okay there is this thing that's being called out here but no, well it doesn't have very good reviews. Because as an example that I'm doing of this Google Maps reviews or something like that would be definitely preferred but of course I can understand from a tech bandwidth angle and resource angle. If it is not available, it's not available. I think it's really going to be great on holidays and stuff. You know, because I'm standing here and standing there and I'm going there and I don't know at night what should I go next and maybe this pops up and you know tells me okay this is half a mile away. Let's go there. So I think it's a great invention. Thank you so much for building it.

I've always regarded WhatsApp as a very private thing and if on the other side of things, if somebody's using repos like these and uploading my messages, you know, which as far as we know are being read by Claude and all these AI companies, the more data you put in, the more data they get inside and for their training and they could use it for, I don't know, God knows what. But I never consented to this. So the more trouble here is not that you're using it or people are using it. The trouble is that there are a lot of people in the world who have not consented to this. There are people on the other side of WhatsApp who have not consented to this. Why would you build something like that? I mean, it's just unfair for a lot of people.

I don't think the model is needed anymore. I think given the new kind of things that are happening in the AI world, I've been using Gemini 3.8 Flash for a long time, I've been using Claude, Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 and literally find no reason at all to use SuperPars or SuperLight for that matter.

Wow!! I checked for English learners, Artificial Intelligence and GenAI as well and even they suck :D

Guess where these people went? Reddit?

Loved this blog, the simplicity with which they explained. I have been meaning to get back to reading but have not been able to. Having read this, I feel motivated enough to get back into the game and start reading a book from tomorrow. Thanks, Elia!
