  • YAML, SQL, or something else? Looking for recommendations for making a database of stories.

    Jump

  • I'm not entirely sure yet, but probably yes to both. The story text will likely stay unchanged, but I'll likely experiment with various ways to analyze the stories.

    The main idea I want to try is assigning stories "likely tags" based on the frequency of keywords. So castle and sword could indicate fantasy while robot and ship could indicate sci-fi. There are a lot of stories missing tags, so something like this would be helpful.

  • What's your reasoning for that?

    At this point, I think I'll only use yaml as the scraper output and then create a database tool to convert that into whatever data format I end up using.

  • A few keywords in there I'll have to look up, but I get the majority of it.

    Yeah, I'm not too sure yet how complex the tags will be in the end. They are basically genres at the start, but I may make them more complex as I go.

    After reading some of the other comments, I doubt I'll use yaml as the main storage method. I do like the idea of using yaml for the scraper output though. Would give me a nice way to organize the data elements for each story in a way that can be easily read when needed.

  • Is this something that can be run locally without a server? I'm aiming for something as simple as opening the notes app on your phone and selecting a story.

  • That's a good idea! Would yaml be alright for this too? I like the readability and Python styled syntax compared to json.

  • Did not know that. I'll keep that in mind.

  • Don't know the limits of Yaml, especially for large chunks of data, but I do like its easy readability and similarity to Python. I'll probably try out a bit of yaml as well as some of the other recommendations other have given me.

  • I do like the sound of that.

    I'm not too worried about performance, since, once everything is running, most of the operations will only be ran every few weeks or so. Don't want it slowing to a crawl for sure though.

    The text search looks promising. I've had the idea of automating "likely tags" that look for keywords (sword = fantasy while spaceship = sci-fi). It's not perfect, but it could be useful to roughly categorize all the stories that are missing tags.

    • 10,000 Jalapeno

    Urine's power as a fertiliser is due to the nitrogen and phosphorus that it contains.

  • The way I see it, all these general LLMs and AIs are just the learning tools for the actual future use for ML.

    Companies are throwing money and research at them for easy gains, but once the bubble pops, most of them will be irrelevant and will die off. Once there's no reason to "move fast and break things", the actual slow and methodical research will start happening to find where ML belongs in this world.

    In the future, specialized companies will utilize all the research being done today to craft more focused tools that do things that machine learning is actually useful for.

    ML tech isn't going away. It just needs to mature to the point where these useless bots aren't worth the effort.

  • Man suffers chemical burn that lasted months after squeezing limes

    Jump

  • A 40-year-old man showed up to an allergy clinic in Texas with a severe, burning rash on both his hands that had developed two days earlier. A couple of days later, it blistered. And a few weeks after that, the skin darkened and scaled. After several months, the skin on his hands finally returned to normal.

    The culprit: lime juice and sunlight.

    It turns out that just before developing the nasty skin eruption, the man had manually squeezed a dozen limes, then headed to an outdoor soccer game without applying sunscreen. His doctors diagnosed the man's rash as a classic case of phytophotodermatitis.

    Never would have thought that "avoiding the sun while covered in large amounts of lime juice" was a thing I would have to do...
