This is some of what the UI looks like - it is much like a standard Datasette install with a few extra UI elements and some style tweaks I made:

Being built out of a tool intended for quantitative data processing means that I can, as I mentioned, do some quantitative data processing. While I could in principle do things like count shell/browser history entries by date, this isn't very interesting, and the cooler datasets are logs from my watch (heart rate and step count), although I haven't gotten around to producing nice aggregates from these, and the manually written structured data entries from my journal. For the reasons described earlier I write up a lot of information in journal entries each day, including machine-readable standardized content. I haven't backfilled this for all entries as it requires a lot of work to read through them and write up the tags, but even with only fairly recent entries usable it's still provided significant insight.

While it's not part of the same system, [Meme Search Engine](https://mse.osmarks.net/) is undoubtedly useful to me for rapidly finding images (memetic images) I need or want - so much so that I have a separate internal instance run on my miscellaneous-images-and-screenshots folder. Nobody else seems to even be trying - while there are a lot of demos of CLIP image search engines on GitHub, and I think one with the OpenAI repository, I'm not aware of *production* implementations with the exception of [clip-retrieval](https://github.com/rom1504/clip-retrieval) and the LAION index deployment, and one iPhone app shipping a distilled CLIP. There's not anything like a user-friendly desktop app, which confuses me somewhat, since there's clearly demand amongst people I talked to. Regardless of the reason, this means that Meme Search Engine is quite possibly the world's most advanced meme search tool (since I bothered to design a nice-to-use query UI and online reindexing), although I feel compelled to mention someone's [somewhat horrifying iPhone OCR cluster](https://findthatmeme.com/blog/2023/01/08/image-stacks-and-iphone-racks-building-an-internet-scale-meme-search-engine-Qzrz7V6T.html). Meme Search Engine is not very well-integrated but I usually know which dataset I want to retrieve from anyway.
