Dog Days of Summer, What Does It Mean?

According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the phrase originated in ancient Roman times. The Romans noticed that the star they called Sirius, the Dog Star, was in conjunction with the sun in late July.

So, they named this period diēs caniculārēs, or “days of the dog star,” which was later shortened to “dog days." - As quoted from Saturday 17-Aug-2024 Morning Brew Newsletter, who apparently got it from the Farmers’ Almanac

Where Did All The Time Go?

Just a whole lotta links this time around. Didn’t have a chance to really dig into any of them to provide any kind of commentary or thoughts or opinions. Some good state-of-ai think pieces here, a handful of potential learning projects and some AWS cloud related articles this time around, that I definately want to dig into some more.

Wow. So it’s be another long while, since I got around to creating another post. This one is another link list, based what has caught my eye over the last month. Can’t say I have read them all, but good list to come back to as time permits.

Something I did decide to do based on having all of these articles, was to create a python script that would interact with the Omnivore API (the application I use to grab links and content I want to read later) to grab all the articles I have saved and send all of those to openAI to create a summary and suggest some tags. I will eventually create a write-up for that project, but wanted to get this link list out first. Seems to have turned out ok, but many improvements to make.
