Olympics Series - Mens 100M - According to Gemini

 Here I am going to try and work on a project to use GenAI to create some content for the upcoming Olympics. I am hoping to integrate some data project as well, exactly what that will be remains to be seen. 

So the Mens 100M. My preview will cover a bit on a legend of the event, who cannot be repeated in another event and then a preview of the event for the upcoming games.

Usain Bolt: The Lightning Bolt Leaves a Legacy

Usain Bolt, the retired Jamaican sprinter, isn't just a legend in track and field, he's widely considered the greatest sprinter of all time. Here's a glimpse into his phenomenal career:

Early Life and Transition to Track:

  • Born in Sherwood Content, Jamaica on August 21, 1986.
  • Initially excelled in cricket and football, but his exceptional speed was undeniable.
  • Encouraged by his school coach to pursue athletics, he began training seriously in his teens.

Dominating Rise to Stardom:

  • Established himself as a prodigy by winning the 2002 World Junior Championships.
  • By 2007, he became the fastest man alive, setting his first 100m world record.
  • The 2008 Beijing Olympics marked his global explosion. He shattered world records in the 100m, 200m, and as part of the 4x100m relay team – all in record times.

Solidifying the Legend:

  • Bolt achieved the unprecedented feat of "triple-doubles" at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012, 2016), winning gold in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay at each.
  • His flamboyant personality and signature lightning bolt pose made him a global icon.
  • Throughout his career, he collected numerous accolades, including eight Olympic gold medals, eleven World Championship gold medals, and multiple Laureus World Sportsman of the Year awards.
And according to Ideogram.ai this is an image create in the likeness of Usain Bolt:

His impact goes beyond the times he clocked. Usain Bolt redefined sprinting, captivating audiences with his speed and showmanship. He remains a true legend in the world of athletics.

Gemini Race Preview

"The 2024 Olympics are coming up in Paris, and the men's 100m is shaping up to be an exciting race! Here are some of the top contenders:

  • Fred Kerley (USA): The reigning World Champion (as of August 2023) and a sub-10 second runner.
  • Marcell Jacobs (Italy): The surprise winner of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, though injuries have hampered him recently.
  • Noah Lyles (USA): A talented young sprinter known for his showmanship, and the reigning World Champion in the 200m.
  • Ferdinand Omanyala (Kenya): A rising star who pushed Lyles in the 2023 World Championships.
  • Christian Coleman (USA): A former World Champion with a personal best that puts him in contention, but has faced doping suspensions.
  • Zharnel Hughes (Great Britain): A favourite of Usain Bolt, known for his strong starts.

These are just a few of the athletes to watch. It's always possible for someone unexpected to challenge for the gold medal too! Keep an eye out for the qualifying races and other major competitions leading up to Paris 2024.

For a fun guess, based purely on randomness and with no insider knowledge, I'll say the winner will be... Ferdinand Omanyala (Kenya).

Remember, this is just a random pick! The beauty of the 100m is that any of these top contenders could pull off a win on the day."

MySQL - Free

 So I was looking at trying to get a cloud based database that was always on. I wanted to build some visuals over whatever data I ended up building and have the DB accessible from a cloud server seemed like the easy way. I wanted to keep it free because I hate spending when I don't need to, so that others could use it for free and because I was sure there must be options out there. In the end my life was made much easier by spending £10 but you can go with the same free option on this site. https://www.freemysqlhosting.net/ Although not super fast or super sized it gives you a free and easily accessible database. So far I have easily connected using phpAdmin, BeeKeeper Studio, Python, Google Data Studio and Keboola. I have had no issues at all unlike several other solutions I have tried including Heroku.  To setup the DB you just set your location and hit start, you will then be e-mailed the connection details and then use your favourite MySQL IDE and you are in.  Above is a snapsh

Free AWS Training

Whilst a lot of the information I am post on here is about how to actually build a free cloud data platform for yourself there is also some good training out there. Whilst you will need to pay to get access a lot of places want to entice you in with certain bits for free. In the data engineering space a popular option for training is places with hands on labs. With the rise of these cloud platforms training providers are able to spin up mini instances with lots of restrictions and allow you to do hands on training without fear of using something outside of the free tier.  As I said most of this training is not free, I did a trial month at Whizlabs and got myself a certification on Snowflake and AWS with hands on experience using their sandbox areas. Honestly despite finishing that course I don't feel like I learnt a huge amount, the labs were too regimented and the trainers were not overly engaging. If money were no object I would give A Cloud Guru a go but I am looking for free ma
