Too big for AI, Drop test
I have been using AI to produce summary “podcasts” of my live streams for a month or two. This last live stream was so long online transcription engines would not digest the file unless I was willing to pay a fee. I am resourceful however and eventually found a way to get the stream converted into text. I fed that text into Google’s NotebookLM and got a 20 minute recap of 330 minutes of content. The output was a bit glitchy as it repeated itself a couple times but overall AI did a decent job of interpreting what was a HUGE amount of conversation.
Last night I did another stress test on my newly tubeless Master V4 that was suggested by a channel viewer. I put the wheel up onto the tailgate of my Tacoma and then let is fall down as I guided it to the driveway 3 feet or more below, putting significant stress on the tire. The wheel/tire survived the test. Tonight I hope to be able to get the tire properly seated so I no longer feel a thump while riding.
I got a couple of my 3D printed stands assembled as well last night so I have some inventory available on my store once again. As I was assembling them an idea entered my head regarding the layout of my office. I am thinking about putting my desk in the corner opposite the door and then have workbench’s flanking it on either side. Doing this would not only look more symmetrical but also give me an opportunity to add another monitor to my set up, for a total of, gasp, three.
As I was watching Tulsa King later on I had an extreme wave of sleepiness hit me. I almost felt like I was drugged. I woke up about an hour later. Because of the timing of the nap it made it difficult for me to fall back asleep when I actually wanted to. Quality sleep is something that I no longer rely on and am instead surprised by.
I have been doing some recollecting lately of where I was in life last year at this time. It was a place of make believe where I was investing so much of myself into a situation that in reality was not worth lifting a finger for. It’s concerning to me that I allowed myself to fall into such a place. I hope to never find myself in such a state again.
