Data Processing Process

1. $ python get_link_lists.py # daily
   1. Needs data archival / backup.
      1. Doing a brute-force full backup right now, might be sufficient for the time being.
         1. $ scp -i key.pem reddit-link-list.tar.bz2 admin@www.iterativechaos.com:./
      2. Can do just week/day going forward, but that will quickly get slow.
      3. Storing the files as .json.bz2 would be a big improvement
2. $ python parquet_link_list.py ../data/reddit/link_list/day/science/ ../data/reddit/parquet/link_list/day/science/
   1. Make this iterate and do a full refresh each time
   2. Reconsider full refresh when processing time goes over a minute
3. $ python dedupe_link_list_parquet.py
   1. Make this iterate and do a full refresh each time
   2. Reconsider full refresh when processing time goes over a minute
4. $ python get_discussions.py
   1. Make this check the existing download, harvest timestamp, num_comments
5. $ python discussion_to_gpt.py
   1. Make this iterate and do a full refresh each time
   2. Reconsider full refresh when processing time goes over a minute
6. hit ChatGPT with output
   1. Change this to API call to ChatGPT
   2. Make this check the existing generate, harvest versus generate timestamp
   3. Add data archival / backup
