I finished making breakfast tacos and have a day planned with reading, meditation, and possibly writing. My focus for the day is improving the main burrito website to make it interactive and pondering the challenge of making it easily deployable for others without the pain of maintaining a separate instance. I'm contemplating whether to maintain the existing system or create a new one, maybe using Docker to bundle the components. The decision is complicated due to the unique architecture of building decentralized applications and requires further thought.

Today has been a challenging day, with the speaker feeling overwhelmed by logistical tasks like taxes and job inquiries. They had a productive conversation with Danny but were left feeling aware of the amount of work ahead. They are also pondering ways to make money and considering the potential of experimenting with data and language models. The speaker is interested in the concept of "brain twin" and is curious about using it in a group setting with others, possibly collaborating with someone named John.

The user is curious about summarizing their thoughts in the last 24 hours to have a solid understanding of their previous musings when they return to the computer. They also want to create a social mechanism to share their thoughts and interests with others in a way that is algorithmically related to their own interests, without coming across as trying to show off. They express a preference for audio recordings over writing and anticipate the process of reviewing their nightly thoughts as potentially painful. Overall, they aim to implement a solution to streamline this task.

The speaker is considering the research question of how to achieve distributed compute, particularly the need for parallelism in executing pipelines and AI agents. They question the potential for building a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) that allows for agents to dynamically contribute to it and execute in parallel, emphasizing the need for pipeline development to accommodate this level of complexity. The discussion also touches on the scalability and parallel execution potential of the mixture of experts model, such as GPT-4, and the potential for hierarchical or vector space implementation. The speaker is keen on exploring the level of parallelism achievable through mixture of experts but acknowledges the limited understanding of its full capabilities at this point. They also express curiosity about fine-tuning experts for personal data. The speaker is discussing the data they are generating and the value of the training data for their system, particularly emphasizing the importance of transforming the data to suit their context and actions. They mention meditating and recording their thoughts, which they intend to transform into a bullet point list using an AI model after running it through a pipeline. The individual also discusses making their data publicly accessible and considering using GPT (possibly GPT-3) to post summaries of their thoughts on Twitter. They also ponder the potential of using machine learning models to create a personal Google-like system for individual data. The text discusses using data chunking as a method for generating backlinks and implementing PageRank in an agent system. It mentions steep space models and the continuous updating of internal state during training. It also compares the level of context in transformer models and discusses the idea of transformer as a compression of knowledge in a language. The speaker expresses interest in understanding the concept of decay in relation to memory and its impact on the storage and retrieval of information. They draw parallels between the processing of information in their mind and the functioning of a transformer model, with the long-term memory being likened to a transformer and short-term memory to online processing. They speculate on the potential of augmenting the transformer model with synthetic training data to improve long-term context retention and recall. Additionally, they mention a desire to leverage a state space model to compile a list of movies recommended by friends and contemplate the symbiotic relationship between technology and human sensory inputs in the future. In this passage, the speaker reflects on the relationship between humans and computers, suggesting that a form of symbiosis already exists between the two. They acknowledge the reliance on technology and the interconnectedness of biological and computational intelligence, viewing them as mutually beneficial and likening the relationship to symbiosis in nature. They express a preference for living at the juxtaposition of humans and computers, while acknowledging the potential challenges and the need to address potential risks. Additionally, they mention that their thoughts on this topic have been influenced by their experiences with psychedelics. The speaker discusses the potential increase in computing power over the next five years, mentioning the impact of Moore's Law and advancements in lithography and semiconductors. They refer to the semiconductor roadmap up to 2034, highlighting the shift towards smaller measurements, such as angstroms, for increased transistor density. They emphasize that the nanometer measurements are based on nomenclature rather than actual transistor size, and the challenges in increasing density due to size limitations and cost constraints. The conversation touches on different companies' approaches to transistor density and the role of ASML in pushing lithography boundaries, before concluding with a reference to the high cost and potential decline in revenue for semiconductor production. The speaker discusses the importance of semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. and China's significant focus in this area. They mention watching videos and reading sub stacks related to semiconductor technology, specifically referencing industry analysts and experts in the field. The speaker expresses enthusiasm for staying updated on developments and offers to share information with the listener. The conversation concludes with a friendly farewell and the possibility of future discussions.

I am feeling energetic and plan to channel this into meditation before starting work to effectively implement my ideas. It's crucial for me to detach the mental process from the technical aspect of building a website, as the conflation of both is overwhelming. Although perfection is unattainable at this stage, and low-level functionality may remain complex, this approach will facilitate the identification of components that need abstraction. Moreover, it will help distinguish between the user interface and the core system functions.
