How to Use

This dataset is designed to be used with the Hugging Face Datasets library. Here's how to get started:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset(
    "serpxe/infinite_blue_skies",
    streaming=True,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    split="train",
    batch_size=5,
)

# Iterate one-by-one
for i in range(10):
    print(next(iter(dataset)))
    # Returns 10 posts

# Batched iteration
iterable_dataset = iter(dataset)
for i in range(10):
    print(next(iterable_dataset))
    # Returns 10 posts, but in batches of 5
