knowledge: add document for Boston public transportation history

[nathan-weinberg]

If your PR is related to a contribution to the taxonomy, please, fill
out the following questionnaire. If not, replace this whole text and the
following questionnaire with whatever information is applicable to your PR.

Describe the contribution to the taxonomy

• Knowledge for the model about the history of public transportation in Boston

I do not have the hardware to do this locally, so I will be doing the following steps with instructlab-bot and updating these prompts accordingly

Input given at the prompt

What agency preceded the MBTA?

Response from the original model

The Metropolitan Boston Railroad Company (MBTA) was preceded by several railroad lines and companies that operated in the Boston area. The first railroad in the region, the Boston and Providence Railroad, began operating in 1835. Over time, several other railroads were established, including the Lowell and Boston Railroad, the Cambridge and Lowell Railroad, and the Worcester Railroad. These early railroads laid the groundwork for the development of a comprehensive rail network in the Boston area, eventually leading to the formation of the MBTA in 1964. The MBTA, or "T," as it is commonly referred to, is the largest public transit system in New England, serving more than 900,000 daily riders.

@luke-inglis for the record I'm trying this out locally still, that's why I opened it as a draft

[nathan-weinberg]

Taking this out of draft so it can be properly triaged/I can continue with the bot commands, let me know if I need to readd the triage-needed label

The linting issue is due to a schema PR we are waiting on.

Hi! 👋
It’s been a while since you’ve seen any movement on this PR. We haven’t forgotten about you!  We’ve run into some logistical issues, hence this delay. We absolutely want your PR, and being marketed as e2e-ready is still the last stop before we get it into the upstream model.

We are thankful for your patience and ask that you please keep this PR open. As soon as we finish all our behind-the-scenes work, we’ll test the full model against your submissions and, ideally, accept your amazing contribution(s)! 

Your Community Maintainer Team.

P.S. if you have any specific questions or thoughts, don’t hesitate to comment on pull request this or email [email protected] and [email protected], and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

[bjhargrave]

Can you please update the markdown (in the knowledge md and the context snippets) to remove all wikilinks?

See juliadenham/Summit_knowledge#1 (comment) where @mairin did this for Swifties.

[nathan-weinberg]

I got this file directly from @juliadenham - Julia could you update the commit with that?

[mcorbin-ibm]

Per the new taxonomy (#1215 ), we have a decision to make on this one -- does this belong in "history" or "social sciences/transportation"?

From reviewing the summaries PDF, I think I prefer the more specific topic (/science/social_sciences/transportation/), so I recommend this:

knowledge/science/social_sciences/transportation/history_mbta/

(Instead of knowledge/history/public_transportation/boston/ -- because how likely are we to get more histories of public transportations in other cities???)

Hi! 👋
Thank you for submitting this PR. We are ready to do some validation now, and we have a few candidates to see if they improve the model.
We some resources to run these release candidates, but we need you to help us. Can you reach out to me either on Slack (@awesome) or email me at awesomeATinstructlab.ai so I can get you access via ilab model chat?
We can only run these models for a "week" or so, so please reach out as soon as possible and tell me which one is best for you on this PR.
