I've got onto the fairisle section of my #knitting so found a podcast to see how that goes ( but I will finish watching Bleak House) and I randomly picked 1984 as it follows on well from 1Q84 and I don't remember reading it ( in about 1984) ( and daughter has just read it) and ๐Ÿ˜จ I think that's the right emoji. #NotReading

( Forever I've been TV & knitting. But I'm not sure which of the two is the most important?)

Some people and sadly they are my bosses

I wrote in a report about an error today - the speaker, <insert name of said speaker>, had problems etc etc bla bla

Boss comes back, can you tell me which speaker has problems?

Sigh ...

I got some great books from the library (James Joyce's letters! A biography of William Byrd! Essays commemorating Dutch art connoisseur de Wetering!) which I would enjoy spending the next days just reading... but past-me agreed to a hike in the muddy Waddenzee when present-me was distracted. Sigh. #reading #notreading
I might even finish my book tonight...
I have had so many 'no pages were turned ' nights lately due to falling asleep reading, it's lucky it's from the community swap box not the library!

OOOOOOOOHHHHHH MY F**************CKKK! I hate using #iTunes on my PC. I don't know why my friends don't seem to have trouble, because I always, ALWAYS do! It's rediculous that in all these years it hasn't really changed. #screenreaders #apple #accessibility #music #lagging #freezing #glitching #notreading #stressful

Can't decide what baffles me more: the publisher who thought this was a good idea, or the hypothetical reader who legit does not understand how completely they would be missing the point by reading this instead of the original book.

Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? Do they even know who Douglas Adams is?? What market exactly do they think they are targeting?

Do we really need machine learning to predict the availability of books in a library? ๐Ÿค”

Machine learning based library management system

Many people use the Library Management System daily, yet many cannot access books in real-time. For a user, having a system that can forecast the availability of issued books would be pretty helpful. Data from the library is utilized in this study to indicate when a reader will be available. Keres and SKlearn compare random forest, support vector, and neural network results. The study's findings suggest that the availability of published books may be tracked and managed. Using the model learned, it is possible to anticipate when a reader will be available. Because of this, it is less accurate to analyze data from incomplete libraries. This research uses automated techniques for predicting library system books and using real-world library data and improved prediction models. Utilize A latent component model to rebuild the missing data to overcome the incomplete data problem. This paper proposes a novel model for predicting the availability of books in libraries using several machine learning methods and comparing their performance to select the best way.
