Transcript: So quickly just talking about some things of today. I went to the Ethiopian coffee ceremony with Ali and his sister. And it was nice. It was a really nice space. Jono for sure would enjoy that space. It was a place just to talk and enjoy some coffee and enjoy people and meet new people in this case. So that was really cool. Really cool. It's like literally a walk distance from my house as well. Excited to go there for dinner sometime. Would really love to go there with Ali and maybe Jono even. Maybe that's something we can do this week. Yeah, really just enjoyed that. Um, so yeah. And then I came home and continued to write the application for, um, voice input and getting commands in there. And it like works. You know, I'm able to write some code and I'm still figuring out the best ways to do this. So tomorrow definitely is going to be a day of more or less learning how to do this and actually writing, um, a project using this methodology. Um, I may experiment with some of the other tools that are kind of around the Docker thing that I was using. Um, but yeah, I'm curious to see kind of how this goes, um, and how viable it is and, um, what else I might be looking for in using it. I'm not totally sure yet. There's definitely some of the stuff around like selecting text and, uh, that, that might be useful to, to play around with. But yeah, I, I don't quite know what I want yet. Um, in terms of being able to edit code and move around pages. Of course, yeah, it would be nice to just like maybe do multiple actions in one shot or, and have the computer be able to infer multiple from a single transcription. Um, because really like my purpose would be to like navigate to google.com or something like that. But, you know, um, it would have to know how to do that in the context that I am. And it's like, yeah, I don't want to go down the full rabbit hole of computer use quite yet. Um, I think that's interesting and useful, but I really just needed to augment what I'm doing now and see how that goes. The full agentic thing is quite interesting. Um, just from my experience, it costs a lot of money and it's not quite good enough yet. Um, not to say that it won't be good enough. And in some ways, like the things that I'm building are a very intermediate solution that is not the actual solution. But maybe there's still something to be learned from doing that and things that can be used. So we'll, we'll see. It'll be interesting to, to see, but definitely making me feel like a new project tracking surface is extremely needed. Something more canvas based for me. Um, just like I would use paper to kind of note things down. Um, and being able to spatially arrange that, that is going to be absolutely critical. And voice input for that actually might be better in some ways than text. So I'm very, very curious to explore that. Um, and see how that goes. I don't know what the best way to do that will be, whether we'll be, you know, doing a whisper server, hitting Geppetto. You know, like there's so many potential options there. So yeah, we'll, we'll kind of see what makes the most sense.

Today was eventful with a pleasant dinner party I hosted for Caroline, Patrick, and Kyle, reuniting this group for the first time in two years. The evening was filled with meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and appreciation for the company. I also visited Nick to help with their business spreadsheets, exploring potential additional income. Tomorrow's plans include a bike ride to Mnemonic to spend time writing and reflecting on recent discussions, fueled by energy and an espresso.

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.
The speaker had a positive conversation with Matt, finding their immediate connection and his thoughtful questions to be very enjoyable. Matt allowed the speaker plenty of time to express themselves and showed interest in their work, which the speaker found encouraging. The speaker expressed excitement at the possibility of sharing their work with others and the potential for creating a pipeline library. They mentioned potential improvements to the pipeline system and expressed eagerness to have further discussions with Matt in the future.
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.

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.

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.

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.

The author contemplates the process of converting an audio note into a transcript, then summarizing it on their "burrito" page. They express a desire to adjust the summarization voice to better represent themselves on the page. Recognizing that this feature may not have widespread appeal, the author nonetheless sees value in providing users with controls to personalize their "burrito." The concept of allowing users to fine-tune their experience is seen as an intriguing possibility.
