Llamas, Pythons, Coffee, and Sway

Part I - Morning

• Morning Status:
  • I feel pretty great today, but going to be Virtual anyway. Got some errands to run
  • I've got llama-cpp-python up and running, so I'm going to work on a back-end for it
  • I'll likely solicit pairing once I get it a bit further, especially for some visuals

Part II - Evening

• General Status:
  • TIL: Drop this in your python code to get a pretty close binding.pry equivalent from IPython import embed # For debugging; put `embed()` anywhere
  • Coffee Chat with Paolo!
  • Volitional Muscles Workshop helped me re-affirm that I like the plan that I pre-gamed
    • Core: Alloy+LLM+Rails (using Human Essentials app as a dataset)
      • Explore possibilities, mash together things, dev-tooling, do some Good
    • Cake: Pair, Follow Whims, Dance With Serendipity
      • Create artifacts, play, learn, share
  • Side Note: I'm typing this in vim with copilot and it is upsetting when it suggests stiff language and then it is upsetting when it suggests exactly what I was about to write because then I'm like ... is this as bad as what you just suggested dear robot?
  • Attended applied machine learning group, but really just watched
  • .... then got a Work Call that I hopped on to help with for the end of the day
• Alloy+LLM+Rails Project:
  • Slight progress on understanding the llama-cpp-python setup
  • Did some brushing up on python iterators and debugging tools

Part III - WEEKEND BONUS

• Weekend Updates:
  • Nerd Sniped on displaying the current desktop grid pop-up to the right monitor. Got it working :)
    • For reference, screen=$(swaymsg -t get_outputs | jq 'map(.focused) | index(true)') which I then pass on to aosd_cat
  • I dreamed about generating tokens from an LLM, but I think they were physical tokens and also maybe gangsters
  • I don't really need it now, but I keep wondering a cost-effective but natural-for-me way to rent GPU time to make my model run faster. I can spin up a whole linode GPU vm, but will need to make sure to delete it in-between uses. I don't really want to do hosted notebook blah blah. Not sure what I want. I guess I wish I could run a command and have a GPU on my existing linode and then run another to remove it, but that's maybe not how it works
  • We went on a some shopping and walking around and out to Thai and got groceries. Making good progress on getting the sense-of-place around here
