"Challenges and Triumphs: A Day of Transcriptions, Surfing, and Project Work"

Feb 28, 2024 - 5:15pmSummary: The day started with frustration over poor transcriptions, which were caused by a high-frequency pitch, but fixing the issue improved the transcriptions. The person also shifted the work to their local machine and had a simple lunch of two chicken bakes. They planned to go surfing, but the surf conditions were bad, so they went shopping instead. They bought a board game, The Crew, as a treat and then planned to cook dinner, clean the house, and work on adding edit functionality for a project. They anticipated the task to be relatively simple once they decide on the structure for keys and values.

Transcript: Interesting day. Immediately woke up and just got down to work and got frustrated with transcriptions because they were so bad. So I went and fixed some transcription stuff. Apparently there's just a high-frequency pitch getting introduced for who knows what reason. I took it out. And it's helping with the transcriptions quite a bit, so that's good. And I also shifted it over to my local machine, which has kind of been a thing for a while, so it's nice that it's shifted over now. I had nothing for breakfast. I had two chicken bakes for lunch. And then... I... went to go surfing, and the surf was so bad that I did not go surfing. And then I went shopping at Specialty Produce, and then... I... am now going to pick up a board game. The Crew. And... I got both. So, Camelia wrote. So... little treat to the self, and then I'm going to go home, and... I'm going to cook some dinner. Probably clean my house a bit tonight. And also hopefully write the edit functionality for the burrito. Or... friend work, as it were. I'd like to do that and see how it goes. I think it should be relatively simple. I just need to decide on how I want to... basically think about keys and values. That's really all I need to decide on. Once that's decided, it should be relatively straightforward.

"A Productive Day: A Blend of Work, Socializing, and Personal Exploration"

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.
