The cost of computing power is expected to decrease, leading to increased availability. This makes the ability to utilize this computing power for extensive processing or post-processing very important, especially with evolving hardware architectures. If supported, doing massively parallel inference and leveraging large language models for parallel post-processing will likely be both feasible and significant. The trend towards more accessible compute resources will thus play a pivotal role in the advancement of post-processing capabilities and the application of large language models.

I had a fun surf session at Swami's with decent, but not exceptional, waves and started off catching a solid one. I ran into Gregory, which made the time more enjoyable, as I usually catch a fair number of waves there. There was an incident with an overly aggressive surfer, which was disappointing; he was upset about someone dropping in on him even though it's a common occurrence at Swami's and the other surfer had signaled his intent. Overall, it was a good day, I got to see dolphins while leaving the water, and I spent my time chilling and singing acoustic melodies both in my head and out loud.
