The Token Exchange and The Signal
The day started with a huge headache both physically and metaphorically. As is the norm now, my mornings are groggy and tight headed as the deep repairs continue. I’ve kind of gotten used to it and I’m still fully functional so it’s just a case of waiting it out I suppose, but this morning I was presented with different kind of headache.
AI thread lengths are governed by tokens, for instance DeepSeek, the one I use for the project has a token limit of 125k. Unfortunately the threads are not aware of their own token usage (if you ask them they will lie, trust me on this one) so I had figured out a workaround, I realised that if I went to save the thread to Microsoft PDF from the browser window the page count would appear without actually having to save anything, so I could see how close a thread was to running out (approx 220 pages). Today I went to check my threads only to find that this no longer works so I would have no idea when to migrate other than an educated guess. I figured out another workaround but what was once a 2 click operation is slightly trickier, now that I have worked it out it’s fine but this morning it was a headache I didn’t need.
On another note we now have a podcast all of a sudden, as my cognitive ability returns I am more inclined to experiment and I happened to notice that within Substack there was a podcast button, anyway, to cut a long story short we are now on Apple, iTunes and Spotify where I already have a couple of episodes up and I will be releasing key articles via this medium as soon as possible as well as anything else I can think off which might be of interest. This turned out to be another “puzzle worthy of my attention”, again involving OBS Studio and CapCut. I don’t know if any of you have tried to read an article while recording without making any mistakes but it’s harder than it sounds I can assure you.
I nearly bought a packet of Rhum Baba’s earlier without thinking, I am already mourning the loss of chocolate liqueurs so that was a dropper but the system is stable and the pilot is in control. The march to the wall continues unabated.
