The nice thing about Will Muldoon is that he only requests CBJ records he can attest the existence of.
If anything, I'm a little disappointed they think I would throw darts randomly.

The nice thing with records requests in Juneau is that they come with attestation that the request is completed. Even when they ain't.

Morgan gets home in about a week, or ~3hrs before the 2003 transcripts are done.
(I think this will run cost ~$12 in electricity...168hr * 250W @ $0.27KwH)

Transcription engine is humming. ~2000 #akleg meetings so far, right into the summarizer which runs 24/7 at 97% utilization.
Building the vector processor right now. Goal is to have a holistic semantic vectorized model of an entire two year Alaska State Legislature before Thanksgiving.

Just found out Fairbanks does not have cheap hydroelectric power shipped in from Juneau.
Training an Ai to ask it to look at whether the Legislature discussed buttcheeks fifty years ago may have cost me $3.24.

I used the query 'summarize buttcheeks' to see if my summarizer of the summarizer would hallucinate.
It did not hallucinate (The transcriber still has some present as artifacts), but the semantic search returned a summary on Dump Truck Operators.

Got my batch summarizer and semantic indexer fully rigged up.
I now have a complete pipeline that will download/transcribe/summarize/index all legislative proceedings and place them in a database that a custom setup LLM can access and handle natural language queries. #akleg

Here's a summary of the #akleg Senate Floor session from my birthday in 1975 generated from an ai I trained on transcripts I generated from archival recordings.

Ran the 5070 Ti at full clip for 15.5 hours with no performance or temp issues. Looking at 4-7% Word Error Rate overall for the entire 1975 floor sessions, but will need to confirm.
It can handle the transcription engine and full graph matrix multiplication without paging. That's insane to me.

Shouts to Nvidia and #akleg mashups.
I'm currently transcribing every floor session from 1975 to present on an Nvidia card using CUDA and Whisper.

Instead of just giving the Ai read/write on a DB of legislative data with canned functions...
I chunked and indexed the files themselves before ingesting, extract and flattening before normalizing into a duckdb.
I'm thinking this way I'll have semantic/meta/relational layers baked in 🤷♂️

Of legislature members? Yeah, I do that with stuff like W-NOMINATE/PCA/K Means Clustering etc...
Of districts? Go to www.elections.alaska.gov/research/sta...
configure like the screenshot below. Be mindful of Voter Roll maintenance where we eliminate inactive voters every March.
