Comment: Evening rambles through the day and work
Transcript: Another thing for today was work stuff and, well, started off being in llama.cpp land again, just kind of helping out with some of the GitHub issues and making sure the code is working as expected, and it is, as far as I can tell, which is cool. So that's what I did after I went climbing, I pretty much immediately took a look at that and started working on that. I did a fair bit of reading today, more of Michael Pollan's book on building his house. I probably will read a bit more of that before I go to sleep today. And also, in terms of getting things done for the project, I implemented kind of the saving kind of function, and I still want to think through this one more clearly, but more or less, there's like a solid calf for things that you've already transformed. So basically, once you've labeled something as like, this is related to food, you never have to go back and do that inference again. And I think this will be probably pretty helpful moving forward. And we'll kind of see how important this is. And my guess is, I mean, I want to run this on things going in. But yeah, it's just a curious thing, basically. So yeah, that was what got done today. And tomorrow, I think kind of the big thing is, instead of doing it for each, probably doing it for all. Probably just a basic caching mechanism here, and being able to set that on the front end or whoever's querying it, how long to cache that for. And it probably won't be perfect to start, but that's okay. I might also try to make the cache kind of like a generic adapter. So we make a folder of caches and kind of do that kind of thing. There are also some questions around the code generation. I think the code generation needs to be dramatically improved. I wonder if breaking it down into further steps may help. But that's something I want to kind of visit soon. I don't know if it's going to happen yet. But I just want to clean up the kind of code that is being generated and go from there. And ultimately, I mean, all of these generations and everything, I think I'd like to be saving them in some way, shape, or form. So I really need to think about some logging system in a very real sense of what transformations are happening. When are they being regenerated? These kind of things to get a sense of what is training data? What needs to be trained? What needs to be fixed? Counting a bunch of metrics. Anyway, all of this is for later. I think for now, getting these basic things done will dramatically improve just the experience of being able to build these little components. And I think that's the main thing I want to do is just trying to close that gap a bit and make sure that that development experience isn't very painful. There are some quirks to it. But on the whole, I think that it's pretty important to try to nail this down. And then there's some other things to think about in terms of like, well, how do we do like additive transformations or transformations through time? And just trying to make sense of it in any kind of way that will work both in computer land as well as, I guess, more from the perspective of human as well and trying to collapse that gap. But on the whole, I think I'm just happy to get the caching thing done. It was like kind of a challenge just to get it done. To reason about like where to start. in terms of do the simple thing or do the more complex thing and solve that. And I just had to ultimately decide on doing the simple thing. A few competing things in my head going on at the same time. So, mostly regarding money. So that was distracting me quite a bit today. And just like, do I wanna start making things for Vision Pro? And thinking about those things in AR and being very, very interested in like, legitimately the friend's photo frame. I'm so curious to have that.

They contemplate talking to themselves and sorting through their thoughts, feeling enthusiastic about the subjects they want to share with the world, such as photolithography. Additionally, they reference finding better platforms for sharing information and react to a message from someone they contacted about acquiring a slackline. The text seems to be a conversation or stream of consciousness, with repetition of names and phrases. The speaker expresses uncertainty about what to say in response to a message, indicating a lack of understanding. The speaker seems to contemplate keeping in touch and checking in on the new year. However, there is an overall sense of confusion and difficulty in articulating thoughts. Dr. Lingonberry, an individual's friend, has been absent and has developed progressive memory loss. The cause of this is due to a diagnosis of a brain tumor. This diagnosis has led to both consequences of memory impairment and the presence of a brain tumor. These combined factors have significantly impacted Dr. Lingonberry's health and well-being.

I woke up at 6 and got straight to work on my Llama.cpp, made some changes, and submitted them for review, hoping for acceptance and a merge. After work, I'm heading to Tourmaline to surf despite the mild rainy weather. Upon returning, I plan to relax, possibly finish Kyle's sweatshirt, meditate, do some shopping, and clean up my code, which I currently consider subpar. I intend to tackle some easy tasks on my to-do list to smooth out any issues and improve my code's overall quality.

I'm making good progress on the AI grant application, with both the longer description and one-sentence summary feeling satisfactorily crafted. Despite some reservations, the video I've made is likely sufficient, and with most steps completed, I'm now moving onto the demo, aiming to showcase everything in a concise three-minute presentation. This will highlight one personal frame through which to view data, particularly emphasizing social connections and convenience in planning. My ultimate goal is to demonstrate the simplicity of asking a question to retrieve information and to focus on the two key APIs, store and query, to power the application. Focus around these two queries, as with them, essentially any application can be constructed.
The realization of the value in this application lies in its ability to perform searches quickly, efficiently, and accurately. There are multiple approaches to enhance its functionality, with a focus on both data storage and the improvement of search capabilities, which is currently the most critical yet challenging aspect. Concerns exist about the app's method of aggregating all processed data, which feels inherently flawed, though it's being temporarily accepted for the valuable data it provides. This tension between a recognized need for development against the reluctance to proceed with an imperfect solution underscores the complexity of the problem at hand.

The speaker did not complete their weekly review, which usually provides clarity and insights for the upcoming week. Despite this, they have many projects, personal life commitments, and community efforts to attend to, not to mention taxes. They plan to set week intentions using voice instead of writing, including the exploration of websites for the Diagram Website Explorers Club and developing a Canvas element-based editor for Daily Jam. The technical aspects of this project involve real-time data updates, efficient pixel manipulation, and secure user authentication through tokenization. A function is set to run every five seconds to update the canvas with the latest pixel data, ensuring all viewers see a consistent image while minimizing performance impacts. Other tasks include preparing tax paperwork, organizing Boulder events for systems and AI, and sketching ideas for a project called "co-net." The intention is to spend more time outdoors in the nice weather and to schedule the next "Site Craft Hang," while thinking about potential content for the "Explorers Club" website. Overall, it's a productive Monday morning with good weather contributing to a positive start to the week.

The speaker reflects on the idea of returning to school and studying cognitive science, an interdisciplinary field that blends various subjects like philosophy, neuroscience, and computer science, which they discovered through a coworker. They had initially studied science at the community college level, pursuing general education before dropping out and working in software, where they learned skills not directly relevant to web app development. Although not currently planning to go back to school, they find the concept of cognitive science fascinating due to its relevance to understanding the human brain and AI, with potential implications for the future. If circumstances allowed, such as affordable tuition and the ability to learn without financial pressure, the speaker would be excited to pursue cognitive science for its practical and forward-looking applications in technology and understanding human cognition. The speaker is explaining how certain things influence their approach to designing systems and living their life, especially in relation to interacting with artificial intelligence. These influences are significant enough to capture their attention, hence the phrase "that's why that calls my name." They imply a deep connection or interest in the impact of these factors on their work and personal life. This perspective helps to inform their design decisions and overall interaction with AI technology.

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.
