I invested the day delving into quantization, writing a script, and successfully running it. Afterwards, I visited Jordan's house to upload a massive 100 gigabytes of files. I'm hopeful that people will find these files useful and that there will be at least a few downloads. My aim is to further test the script on more images and present the outcomes.

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.

The speaker is focused on their API project and mentioned the stable diffusion model. They have also worked on running and testing various local language models, including Whisper and Orca 7 billion. They are curious to wire the models as a pipeline step and compare the output with GPT. The speaker is unsure of the success of their API project and the effectiveness of the language models, but they express eagerness to explore and experiment further.

Today marked a significant advancement in the burrito project, where the image pipeline, established the previous day, became fully functional and integrated into a webpage, complete with an effective querying system. The visual aspect of the project, particularly the image embeddings, was both intriguing and aesthetically pleasing, although its effectiveness is still under review. The project is now at a stage where the creator is keen to move beyond personal experiments to sharing the results with others, with the immediate goal being to encourage a small group of individuals to test the developments. The focus for the week has shifted to actual user engagement through getting people to sign up and provide feedback, driven by the enthusiasm of witnessing the project's imagery features come to life.

"Reflections on Making Audio Burrito Posts"

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.

He's currently experiencing winter weather and has consumed a weed gummy before diving into work on the Tanaki app with multiplayer live video features. He plans to get a massage to unwind physically and mentally. Pascal hopes for a feature that enables connection with his audience to avoid feeling isolated and looks forward to interacting with others on the platform.

The concept of allowing users to fine-tune their experience is seen as an intriguing possibility.

"Venting Frustration: The Frustrating Fundraising Video Call"

The speaker conveys their frustration with a difficult fundraising experience, describing a particularly unsatisfactory video call with a fund representative. The caller was in a bad mood, hadn't reviewed the provided materials, and hesitated to engage with the product's features. This led to a tense exchange where the speaker challenged the representative's commitment to valuing founders versus purely focusing on financial metrics. Feeling disillusioned, the speaker is left with a distaste for these disengaged "NPCs" and remains focused on their vision of fostering creative and engaging spaces.
