"Meal Planning Mastery"

Meals to make this week

Productive Day and Tomorrow's Plans

Today was genuinely good. I enjoyed a brief outing, had a catching-up call with Katie, and worked on getting an app ready for Darren, which I'm hopeful he'll find useful. It's sparked a desire in me to develop a more robust infrastructure, something I see as entirely feasible. Planning for tomorrow, I want to integrate a design from Jordan into my work and, if possible, continue enhancing the app for Darren, focusing on stronger infrastructure and deploying it to a stable, cost-effective, or free hosting service, potentially something like serverless Postgres. Dinner was light, just almonds and some couscous, not quite a meal. After a productive day, I'm feeling pretty exhausted and foresee just watching a YouTube video before bed. I'm looking forward to driving up for coffee tomorrow morning, though I need to check my car's charge for the trip to Encinitas and also plan to do some grocery shopping. I aim to start the day early, enjoy an espresso, buy some beans, perhaps a pastry, and then see where the day takes me. I'm debating between taking my laptop and opting to journal instead, leaning towards the latter to give myself a chance to reflect and process my thoughts. So, that's the roundup of today and the look-ahead for tomorrow.

"Hatchet.run: Revolutionizing Development with LLM Calls and Concurrency Handling"

This looks incredible for building with holy shit. Handling LLM calls and concurrency

I recently came across something that looks absolutely fantastic for development, especially when dealing with LLM calls and handling concurrency: hatchet.run. It has seriously caught my attention.

"Challenges and Gratitude: My 15-Minute Meditation Journey"

15 min meditation

I attempted a 15-minute meditation, initially struggling with maintaining focus as I repeatedly counted to 10. My frustration became apparent with a curse, but I persisted, shifting to a series of "Okay" affirmations. Despite the initial disruption, I thanked myself or the experience at the end, signifying a return to calmness or gratitude for the effort.

"Balancing Friendship and Productivity: A Day in the Life of Simple Joys"

This morning started off late due to a restless night dreaming about the Vision Pro, but it turned out wonderfully. I played disc golf with my friend Ryan and managed to get some writing done, which felt awesome. Later, Keith joined us for more disc golf, and we also spent some time slacklining. I biked to and from the disc golf course, adding a pleasant touch to the day. For lunch, I tried a new place called Chris Ono Grinds and had their volcano chicken, which unfortunately didn't meet my expectations due to its excessive sweetness. Despite that, the day was filled with simple joys like spending quality time with friends without any drama or expectations, just enjoying each other's company. As for the rest of my plans, I'm contemplating a trip to Culp Valley but also recognize the need to focus on completing tasks and making food for myself. Though I want to balance leisure and productivity, I'm aiming for a more significant focus to achieve meaningful progress. In essence, today reinforced the importance of connecting with friends and finding balance in life's activities.

"A Night of Dinner, Climbing, and Collaborative Innovation"

Last night, I enjoyed a dinner from Chick-fil-A before going climbing, which left me feeling content. Later, I joined a call with Pascal and John to work on Puppet Master, aiming to improve playability with Tanaki. We also delved into accelerating through hyperspace again and discussed extracting Vision from the Vision Pro to incorporate it into a language or vision model for scene understanding. Amen. Thank you.

"The Power of Sensory Input: A Revelation from Jan Le Koon"

I was really struck by Jan Le Koon's discussion on Lex Friedman's podcast about the importance of sensory input compared to language. He pointed out that language represents just a tiny fraction of the data we process, whereas our sensory intake is massively more extensive. He illustrated this by saying that all of human text would take 170,000 years to read, but that's still two orders of magnitude less than the information a four-year-old has absorbed in their life. This insight made me enthusiastic about further exploring sensory data processing.

A Productive Day

Today was quite eventful for me. It started off with a peaceful morning where I enjoyed coffee and eggs; I love waking up naturally. My work focused on making various installations easier to manage in a private version of Burrito, aiming for smoother access and queries - a slow but steady process. Apart from work, I engaged in several conversations and calls throughout the day. My first discussion was with Nick, pondering over the potential of starting a company related to a hotel concept we thought of. It's an idea I need to dwell on more tonight. Lunch was home-cooked ramen, a comforting choice. Catching up with John over a call was refreshing; we discussed meeting in person soon. Then there was the OKPC call, where financial updates were a key topic. My day ended on a high note with an excellent climbing session with Patrick. It's been a productive and fulfilling day.

"Introducing Flyde: Revolutionizing Visual Programming for Modern Web Applications"

I really like this generally, some of the hacker news comments have some paradigms that may help for burrito

I'm really thrilled to share a project I've been passionately working on called Flyde, which is an open-source visual programming language. It's been a journey of exploration, drawing inspiration from various tools like Zapier, Pipedream, NodeRED, NoFlo.js, and even the foundational concepts of Flow-Based Programming articulated by J. Paul Morisson. Despite the greatness of these tools, I found each falling short in one way or another according to my vision – either in flexibility, abstraction level, or integration capabilities with current ecosystems. Flyde is designed to bridge this gap. It complements traditional textual coding rather than replacing it, integrating seamlessly with TypeScript/JavaScript. It’s built for the modern web application layer, aiming to make programming more accessible and intuitive, especially for tasks involving concurrency and asynchronicity which can be visually managed with ease. The key here isn't just visual programming but creating a robust, flexible foundation that fosters easy integration into and out of existing code bases. I'm excited for its potential adoption, especially as I plan to introduce Flyde-based visual API builder Trigg as a specific use-case, emphasizing its utility in production systems. The goal is to evolve towards a model where various languages like Python could be supported, and where components could interoperate regardless of the language they're implemented in. Your thoughts and feedback on Flyde’s direction, especially regarding its practical use and integration capabilities, would be invaluable.

"An Evening of Reflection and Planning"

The individual had a pleasant evening watching Atlanta and using Vision Pro, followed by an extensive writing session. They reflected on the need to dedicate more time to writing and mentioned having leftovers for dinner. They noted their plans for meals the following day and the need to go grocery shopping, along with the decision on whether they will be going out of town for the weekend.
