"Adapting to Slow Upload Speeds: Navigating Old-School Workarounds"

Feb 2, 2024 - 8:10amSummary: I recently discovered that because my upload speed is only two megabytes per second, I had to go over to Jordan's house with two flash drives to upload our quantized model. I find it amusing that I had to resort to such an old-school method. It's not clear how frequently this will happen, but if it becomes a common occurrence, I'll need to find a better solution than using Jordan's internet.

Transcript: I don't know if I mentioned it yesterday, but one of the really funny things about quantizing that model is my upload speed is two meg per second. So I literally went to Jordan's house with two flash drives in my laptop and uploaded the models from his house. That's just so funny to me. Like, bro. I mean, I don't know how often I'm gonna do this, but if it becomes anything even remotely often, I'm gonna have to figure out a better solution than driving over to Jordan's house and using his internet. So, yeah.

I had a profound two-hour call with Jordan at 9 a.m., discussing a range of topics including the exciting potential of language models, which he called "word calculators." Jordan and I agreed on the importance of solidifying a good intention to create a compelling demo that deeply explores the vision of our project. We also touched on self-expression and the value of using the platform as a "playground" to honestly express oneself without worrying about the audience. Lastly, we delved into the dynamic nature of intentions and how they evolve over time, along with the idea that AI could support individuals by acting as an executive function override during moments of weakness.

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.
