Pipulate Practice Folder Created
I'm pushing myself to take the next steps in the Pipulate project, focusing on collaboration and best practices. I'm exploring ideas to use AI to edit my YouTube videos, setting up the Pipulate repo and practice folder, and activating scheduling under a systemd service. I'm using nbdev version 2 and OhAwf with the addition of the run_console feature. All the necessary software can be found on the Pipulate Software page. Come explore the possibilities with me!
Exploring AI Editing & Best Practices for the Pipulate Project
By Michael Levin
Friday, December 30, 2022
Think through next steps.
Push yourself relentlessly forward on the Pipulate front. What makes the Pipulate site better is also what makes you better at work. You COULD tackle this project with the WebDev approach, but then you’d be focusing on all the wrong things.
It’s amazing how much more of the broadly applicable,field-spanning, decades spanning tools, tips and tricks you can cram in you’re head if you’re not using up all that room in the next JavaScript web framework du jour.
Can someone become successful on YouTube without pandering to the slick? Can you just be yourself and life-cast (not necessarily live-cast) and let the AI editors sort it out over time?
There’s a business idea for you. AI will edit all your YouTube videos together and post onto a different channel with the optimized for busy-viewer experience. AI TLDW versions! Perfect for TicTok-like short form videos for starters, but then could provide much improved long-form versions too, cutting out the fat.
I’m probably pushing myself towards that sort of thing as ext generation SEO. In the meanwhile, I’ve got to get everything best-practice-like about what I do today (or should be doing) on Pipulate. Every challenge o face day-to-day is an opportunity to improve the Pipulate site.
And this “hidden” blog is where I do it. With Google disincentivizing content aggregators as they seem to be now, the value of wholly unique content is skyrocketing. Being genuinely unique is becoming easier to recognize and more possible to reward.
I am aligning myself for those rewards.
Focus on collaboration. It’s all about collaboration at this point.
So you’d think with Jupyter Notebooks and collaboration, you’d think Google Colab, right? Or Microsoft Azure Notebooks or Binder. There’s like a dozen other approaches.
Let’s get the Pipulate repo under the DrinkMe install in order.
Also make a practice directory where I actually do practice in public. Keep authentication and client names out of it, but just load it from config files which are kept safe through .gitignore files.
1, 2, 3… 1?
Every single time you stop and struggle for something you need to know, jump on it!
Wow, okay I just updated Pipulate to have a pipulate and practice folder. Nothing in there yet, but that’s the beachhead, really.
Things should be bore nbdev-enabled right out of the starting gate. That’s been a missing element for the past few months.
Okay, so let’s nbdev pipulate! I did it before and I can do it again. So it’s no longer nbdev init. So I cd into pipulate and:
[py311] ubuntu@LunderVand:~/repos/pipulate (main) $ nbdev_new
/home/ubuntu/py311/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ghapi/core.py:101: UserWarning: Neither GITHUB_TOKEN nor GITHUB_JWT_TOKEN found: running as unauthenticated

settings.ini created.
/bin/sh: 1: quarto: not found

Okay, I also updated ohawf to support a cli=True argument just in case it still has to operate in flow.run_console() instead of flow.run_local_server() mode, which is now the preferred method, but not always available.
Okay… think. Next step? Some practice files inside the practice folder. The pipulate folder should actually be the scheduling folder! YES! Activate scheduling under a systemd service. I can do much of this tonight. It’s becoming easy and casual.
Big day.
The Pipulate practice folder exists, and I’m beginning to populate it with everything found on the https://pipulate/software/ page.
I’m using nbdev again (version 2). It’s back in use on ohawf.
OhAwf now supports run_console
