Engagement
I was so excited that I ran my second half-marathon the next day and got less than two hours!
New OpenAI Apis
Right before Sam Altman was fired (and then re-hired), OpenAI's Dev Day introduced many great improvements.
- 120k context for GPT4
- TTS API (with 10x better pricing than Eleven Labs)
- DallE3 API
Needless to say, I spent $160 this month on OpenAI APIs (average was $60).
Podcast updates
Listen to the new episodes (after Nov 11th). Notice the better TTS (before I was using Google Translate) and the better content. The better content is because I can do the whole podcast in one chunk rather than in groups, due to the much larger context size, because the entire paper fits in the context window.
Paper2Video updates
I gave Paper2Video another try, now with Dalle3 and 120k context, and got some great results.
And these were generated without a paper, only a small text prompt.
Thru Hiking Harriman
Vegas climbing
I did my first multi-pitch! I couldn't climb red-rocks because it rained the day before.
Baking
ICE Chocolate
I went to a chocolate bonbon class at ICE in NYC. It was really good, we were taught by a michelin star pastry chef.
