Hi I'm the creator! Not open source yet but that's the plan. Already have data dump implemented for admins, might open that up too. Happy to have contributions to add more cities. Right now the sticking point is getting API keys... Because a lot of cities like New York and Chicago have systems but they also restrict access.... Honestly not sure how to get more API keys more quickly but probably local people on the ground would help.
> BLU keeps their data secret and no reports go to officials.
This is wrong. Their database is live online and they submit reports and complaints for top offenders (along with other advocacy work)
Edit: I found this on BB's blog:
"You may have heard of another app that does something similar. We're different: the anonymized data you contribute will always be free and open to the community."
BLU's database is trivially accessible and full of years worth of reports. But even if it weren't, the creators of BB aren't going to get very far by casting shade on other advocacy projects trying to do good in this domain. It's a very bad look.
The BLU founder met in person with the local Cambridge bicycle people last June (I was there) and they made it extremely clear to us that (for legal reasons) they will never share their data with us. I'm talking about not just a heatmap in a browser, with this data https://loudbicycle.com/bb/download you can make visualizations like this:
Also - BLU does great work manually reporting top offenders and doing many other things too. The 311 reporting that BB does is not the same, it is automated and goes through official city channels that is _supposed_ to be result in immediate enforcement. Again not meaning to cast shade, just literally recounting what was told to me directly face to face.
Would be nice if the map supported date filtering to see trends, but also to avoid lots of (in the future) old data. Like easily select only a specific year, last week etc.
So far a single Boston 311 report has been closed with a ticket... Out of something like 300 reports... So yes?? Also a cop in Brookline has confirmed receiving them and acting on it though we don't have any evidence to corroborate that with.
A huge million bubble roll of bubble wrap. Pop bubbles synced in real-time with a go server and redis. Just launched yesterday and already more than a hundred thousand popped - will the popcalypse happen before the new year?
So this actually is two sites in one:
* Neptune's Chart a fairly boring natal chart interpreting site, put in your birthday and get an astrology reading (free and paid versions, no signup)
* Neptune's Heart it's ridiculous counterpart site where you put in a birthday and a "cosmic whisper" you want to secretly appear in your targets astrology reading on the chart site.
No guardrails on it for now (outside of regular LLM guardrails) good luck have fun!!!
Hand crafted a series of prompts for GTP-3 for sweet, saucy messages and romantic rejection messages. For psycho messages I used one-shot training to add bits of saucy-spice to each of the sweet messages.
> Hey there! I was just thinking about you and wanted to let you know that I love you more than anything in the world. You mean everything to me and I can't imagine my life without you. I hope you have a great day and I can't wait to see you tonight. Love always, your Darling
Example of a rejection message:
> Hey, thanks for letting me know that you're interested in me romantically. I appreciate it, but I'm just not interested in pursuing anything with you in that way. I hope you understand.
The purpose of the project is to be a bit thought provoking and hopefully humorous - since it is now pretty easy to generate quite emotional content - and we can ponder the consequences if someone were to use this technology in making real connections.
One interesting thing - sweet messages to women are way more often over the top using exaggerated near-poetry language compared to sweet messages to men.
