I'm just sort of surprised by everyone getting so excited about this, as it seems sort of obvious to me. Everything is numbers, to an operating system, and a matrix of numbers can always be broken down into sets or strings, transmitted in parts, and then pasted back together. The computer isn't actually saving pictures or sounds, it's saving text instructions for recreating pictures or sounds.
This is just signal processing.
I don't pretend I discovered gunpowder. So far, all videos are entire files and that's it. I wanted to showcase and start defining a NIP for HLS because of the insane amount of advantages it unlocks
Just struck me as someone "inventing" something we have been doing since the telegraph, and collecting hysterical praise from people who don't understand the topic.
That said, I like the idea of a chaotic logistics system for media, analog to the one we built for text. Of course, it opens the door to remixing the media or referring to the media piecemeal, but that might not work, for third parties, if its stored in an encrypted state.
We were also talking about doing this with code on Blossom servers, a while back. Any large data, really.
