Feeling exhausted but content, the speaker reflects on their constant work and aspirations to improve processes, like making John's burrito preparation faster. They acknowledge that their current project may have flaws, but see potential for it to be a dynamic back-end platform with multiple uses. The speaker expresses a desire to create something novel and valuable, while also fostering a space for both public and private sharing. Amidst these professional goals, they cherish personal connections, such as a satisfying morning of surfing with friends.

This morning, the thought of human-computer symbiosis captivated the speaker, influenced by interesting dreams about the topic, the details of which are not fully remembered. The idea of merging with computational intelligence is something the speaker plans to explore further today. On a practical note, the speaker intends to publish the basic burrito website by noon, setting it as the goal for the day alongside other writing tasks. Additional plans include writing a background story as a secondary piece, with the primary focus being the website's introductory content.

I had a really nice day focused on improving and optimizing our API, dealing with various issues along the way. I managed to create and deploy Docker images, enhancing the overall performance and deployability of our system, which I'm quite excited and satisfied with. Despite it taking more time than anticipated and pushing back other projects, I'm optimistic about continuing this work. Additionally, I spent quality time with friends, preparing and enjoying meals together, which was a warming end to the day. Although feeling slightly under the weather, I'm hopeful for tomorrow and plan an early start for a highlining adventure, pending how I feel in the morning.

Yesterday was a pretty good and productive day for me. In the morning, I was at work, really diving deep into what's possible with the backend, especially focusing on modal and non-real-time transcriptions—successfully managing to make them work. I'm considering extending that setup to my local machine to ensure it optimally selects the best backend for serving content. I also thought about exploring Olama for similar functionalities but realized I might need to handle streaming code specifically. There's a part of me thinking about delving into `whisper.cpp` because I believe streaming support is achievable without excessive effort, though it might require some C++ handling. Enhancing Python and node bindings, especially making GGML usable like a tensor library in Python, is another aspect I’m looking into. Aside from work, I managed to meditate for 15 minutes, skipped breakfast but enjoyed beans and rice for lunch, and had Kyle, Claire, Kyle's dad, and Miri over for lunch and later for games, playing the crew, which was quite enjoyable. Claire brought dessert, and I made some pasta and chicken for dinner. My fascination with O1 or Open Interpreter continues, and I'm eager to explore more about it. For today, I'm considering going surfing if the situation allows, based on what I manage to accomplish in the morning and my energy levels through the day. I'm planning to start my day with meditation—trying it before my coffee—to see how that feels and take the day from there.

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.
