That would be me


"Kamer 306 is a 2006 documentary about the birth of electronic music inside the Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium (NatLab) in Eindhoven. Set in the legendary Room 306 of the lab’s Acoustics Department, the film traces how Philips technicians, engineers, and composers opened up a completely new sonic world in the late 1950s."


Besides pure vector search there is hybrid (BM25 + vector) but now there is also agentic search (where the agent can set additional filters, do multiple roundtrips, etc on top of hybrid vector search.


Meet Elysia - a decision tree based agentic system that dynamically displays data, learns from user feedback, and chunks documents on-demand.

Most AI chatbots are stuck in a text-in, text-out world. But what if your AI could dynamically decide not just what to say, but ? Elysia is designed to completely rethink how we interact with data through AI.

Currently still a demo video but they are looking for testers


It depends on additional filters and whether you want to use vector search only. The upside of using Faiss would be storing the ID as file metadata and embedding it in the Faiss index. However, if you need any other filters or data, you would need to store it somewhere else.


How nice to see Stockhausen on the front page. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but if you take the time to dive in, you will appreciate it


Agree. And I would recommend “Stimmung” as maybe the place to start

Give yourself some time to listen to it without interruption though.

It was certainly the thing which made it click for me. The other way in that some friends had was the string quartet in helicopters from “licht” that the Kronos quartet recoded.

A teacher of mine used to be in Stockhausen’s band in the 70s so is on some of those classic recordings such as “sternklang” etc. He’s one of the people in this photo although I can’t remember exactly which one. I think he might be the tall dude at the back on the right. I studied 20th century music with him about 40 years after this photo so he looked quite different when I knew him. https://www.karlheinzstockhausen.org/img/Stockhausen_Errata_...


>It was certainly the thing which made it click for me.

Stockhausen's Oktophonie did the trick for me.


Ha, very cool

> We could make programs _so much_ better than they currently are, it’s not even funny.

IMHO, that's what the author is arguing. Now that we have the tech to do it, this is how companies will win new users. Making the technology "better" means subjective design decisions that can be defined as tasteful when done well.
