Based on my experience, I wrote a post about the challenges of automatic tagging and my approach to overcoming them. I think it might be interesting for people who are into automatic knowledge organization, like me.
I would be happy to hear your thoughts on the topic!
If we allow uneducated hypocrites to decide what is allowed and what isn't, there will be nothing left that is allowed.
For heaven's sake, even in the politically correct mainstream pop game Baldur's Gate 3 there is a whole "god of masochism" mentioned, and the player can go through a mmm… ritual with one of his followers. Not to mention The Bear.
The essence of many games, especially RPGs, is not only in entertainment but also in raising complex and sensitive questions; in safely exploring our culture, ethics, and morality. The same applies to literature, cinema, and all other forms of art.
If we let hypocrites and hypocritical corporations dictate what is allowed and what isn't, the world will quickly descend into dystopia — one of the kinds about which our favorite RPGs are. Only in RPGs we play as all-powerful protagonists who save the world, whereas in real life, we'll be crushed one by one, just like people are in many less fortunate countries today.
*We must unite and resist.*
This is precisely what I plan to do next (this month if everything goes smoothly).
For a long time, I'd been looking for a news reader that could filter out noise and surface only stories that really interest me. I couldn’t find one, so I built it myself. That's the way, right? :-D
In my case (over 1000 news/day), it filters out over 80% of news (those that are irrelevant for me), saving me a corresponding amount of time.
Here’s how it works:
- For each news entry, the reader automatically assigns multiple tags.
- You can create scoring rules like `books + sci-fi -> +5 score`, `politics + new-york -> -10 score`.
- News entries are sorted by score, putting the most relevant content on top.
The reader is open-source, self-hosted, and can work without proprietary LLM APIs. You can replace the APIs entry points with your self-hosted OpenAI-compatible API, or fully disable them, or implement custom non-LLM tag processors.
I'd love your feedback, questions, or suggestions!
