intro
- All sorts of information like books, notes, photos, and even voice recordings in a really organized way.
- Think of it like a super smart digital library.
- You know how when you go to a library, everything is neatly organized and you can find whatever book or resource you need.
- His project is aiming to do that, but for digital content.
- So let’s say you have a bunch of e-books, notes from different apps, or even photos scattered across your devices.
- His software could help put all of this in one place, making it easy to find and use.
- He wants to make sure it works well with other apps, too.
- For example, if you have an e-book collection in one app and notes in another, his software could bring them together seamlessly.
- It’s like having a personal assistant who knows where everything is and organizes it for you.
- One of the cool things he’s thinking about is making it super user-friendly.
- You could even use voice commands to interact with it, kind of like asking Siri or Alexa to do something.
- And he’s considering how to make all this information look nice and be easy to navigate, a bit like how you browse the web.
- Now he’s at a stage where he’s figuring out all the technical details.
- He’s looking at how to store all this information securely and efficiently, and considering different tools and technologies to build it.
- And here’s the big picture.
- He’s not just building this because it’s a cool project.
- He’s doing this to grow his skills, and he’s really passionate about it.
- He sees it as a stepping stone to bigger opportunities, like earning money and contributing more.
- It’s a way…
- You know how when you go to a library, everything is neatly organized and you can find whatever book or resource you need.
- Think of it like a super smart digital library.
clarification
- Sorry.
- My girlfriend does understand the project at a high level.
- I guess can we go not just lower level, but also like stepping ahead?
- Like, for example, LLM pre and post processing is a really big part of my ideas for it.
- I guess my notes were very specific.
- Yeah, I don’t know. Make big inferences.
- But I’m realizing, reading over the notes, that they’re pretty specific and you’d have to really, like, have more context to fully understand, so I guess just run with it.
- But yeah, my girlfriend is smart, so no need to dumb it down.
- I guess can we go not just lower level, but also like stepping ahead?
- My girlfriend does understand the project at a high level.
deeper-dive
- Yeah, it’s actually pretty simple.
- Great. Let’s dive into a more detailed and forward-looking explanation of the project, focusing on aspects like LLM, large language models, pre- and post-processing, which is a key component of your ideas.
- Your boyfriend’s project is quite intricate and forward-thinking.
- He’s essentially building a platform that not only organizes digital content, but also processes and enhances it using advanced technologies like large language models, LLMs.
- LLM integration and data processing.
- He’s planning to use LLMs to add layers of intelligence to the system.
- This means the software could understand and manipulate text in sophisticated ways.
- For example, when importing a book or document, LLMs could summarize it, extract key points, or even generate…
- This doesn’t have the full… I guess what I’m… This is actually a good way to reflect on the notes.
- because basically there’s not actually that much here there’s like really just a few bullet points for each of them and it’s kind of very specific it’s not really this is not my note where I’m like planning out the whole project and yeah look it’s actually like they’re really short when you look at them like not with the that layout and now that you have the small text size like look quick quick yeah well now it is about quick putting it together so we’re thinking more high level yeah
- So I guess we don’t even need to look at this, this is just…
- it could actually affect it.
- You kind of have to step through it and manually listen or read.
- You have to listen.
- Until I have my whole context system, which is also a good point, that the project
- The project exists… This project has a few purposes.
- One purpose is just for me to get organized personally.
- It also exists, like, once I’m organized personally, then I can start integrating LLMs into my life.
- I can start using them to process things and I can start building upon ideas with other ideas with other ideas.
- So, like, from this, I’ve had this idea for a long time, or some ideas for a long time, for a context system.
- What does that context system do?
- Is the context management the inevitable management system slash library that will emerge, integrate with it.
- So the context management, like, I don’t really know how it’s going to look, but I just have absolutely no doubt that it will emerge from working on these features, like the things I’m working on.
- Because once I have, like, you know, 500 or 50 notes or whatever about one project, now I have a lot of work ahead of me for, like, how I’m going to structure my stuff and, like, what tools I’m going to build.
- Because, like, this is a tool, but also I need to build tools that use that.
- All the tools that connect together.
- So what am I going to build that… Yeah, just how am I going to connect this together?
- That’s it. I don’t know. It’s just something that comes to mind.
- So what am I going to build that… Yeah, just how am I going to connect this together?
- Because once I have, like, you know, 500 or 50 notes or whatever about one project, now I have a lot of work ahead of me for, like, how I’m going to structure my stuff and, like, what tools I’m going to build.
- This project exists to create more projects, which may or may not be folded into itself and may emerge into other projects later.
- Or maybe they are actually bigger than this project.
- For example, you know LangChain, right?
- LangChain is a tool that came out to give the random developer an easy way to use language models.
- And I can definitely imagine a system that I develop, like, in service of this project that serves to give, like, the average developer or the average user of language models a huge upgrade in terms of how good their prompts are by providing valuable context, by thoughtfully extracting and connecting bits of information and then providing context.
- And as I say that, I realize it really is a hot topic these days.
- It’s actually what Jason works on, is retrieval-augmented generation.
- which kind of is what this is.
- There’s a startup called Chroma that this other guy, Justin, that I met at a meetup, he did it.
- He’s the guy that I told you, he did the staff, what’s it called?
- It was like an internship, basically, that he did at Chroma that I was considering applying for.
- They paid you $10,000.
- Remember, I was going to use it as leverage with Alex.
- My plan was like, oh, I could apply for this and easily get in.
- And I didn’t apply for it, and I took the role.
- My plan was like, oh, I could apply for this and easily get in.
- But yeah, that company is a company that, it’s not that they do this sort of thing, but they’re very connected to this sort of thing.
- The ideas that I’m having are very relevant to their work and vice versa.
- I definitely will end up using their database system to I don’t really know how I’m going to do it, but it’s very likely that I will use it for various things.
- Like, for example, once we have books… Oh, yeah. What is this project?
- I guess that’s a good… I’m going to write that down.
- What is this project?
- This project… Initially, most importantly, But maybe Though maybe not in the long term This project Like the best model that I have found for it is what I told you this project aims to be like Lightroom for voice memos for my voice memos, where Lightroom is an abstraction, a way to think about working with files.
- When I say Lightroom, you think, like something runs through your mind.
- But that’s only, like, I guarantee that you haven’t thought it through to the degree that you will.
- as the project becomes clearer, as the goals of the project and the goals and functionality of the project become clearer.
- Like… I’m running. It goes beyond voice memos. But that’s how it starts.
- So, like, think about Lightroom. I’ll just, like, step you through it. And I’m recording.
- Like… I’m running. It goes beyond voice memos. But that’s how it starts.
- as the project becomes clearer, as the goals of the project and the goals and functionality of the project become clearer.
