Show HN: BBC “In Our Time”, categorised by Dewey Decimal, heavy lifting by GPT
Some unlinked features...If you put the Dewey division in the URL, the directory auto-opens. e.g. here are episodes about prehistoric life (my current jumping-off point)https://genmon.github.io/braggoscope/directory#560There's a visual map of episodes. After principal component analysis of the episode embedding vectors, these are the most significant two components as the x,yhttps://genmon.github.io/braggoscope/map.html(it's not super useful tbh -- e.g. the Manhattan Project and the Cambrian Explosion have the same x,y... presumably because they are both about explosions?)Many episodes have a reading list, and these are all linked to Google Books (so you can purchase/check out from a library), e.g. this episode pagehttps://genmon.github.io/braggoscope/2022/10/20/the-fishtetr...There are ~4,600 books, and I have ~88% coverage on getting a Google Books page from the original data. Any ideas about what to do with this big list of academic-recommended books v welcome!
