I still find a lot of websites/applications (including my own) affected.


presumably the time is replaced with the actual current time at each generation. I wonder if they are actually generated every minute or if all 6480 permutations (720 minutes in a day * 9 llms) were generated and just show on a schedule


Plenty of businesses fail to find a way to make a profit


OP said necessary, not sufficient


OP said "will". That doesn't sound like "necessary, not sufficient" to me.


You're missing context and/or didn't read OP's comment. He said "will" with regards to reaching AGI. He said "only AGI can find" with regards to profit. It was the latter that this thread was addressing.


You're missing context and/or didn't read OP's comment. He said "because". It will happen because that's the only way to reach profit. That's why it will happen.


Yeah, exactly. The context here was about the profitability part of OP's comment. The parent said "plenty of businesses fail to find a way to make a profit," and my point was that OP's statement doesn't contradict that. OP was saying they'll need AGI to be profitable, not that they're guaranteed to become profitable.

Sure, they phrased it as "they will reach AGI," but that's clearly tongue-in-cheek...the underlying idea is "they better reach AGI, because that's the only way they could make money." So my comment ("necessary, not sufficient") was just pointing out that even if AGI is required for profitability, it doesn't mean they'll actually get there or succeed once they do, and that the original comment was perfectly compatible with the idea that not every business reaches profitability.


'the underlying idea is "they better reach AGI, because that's the only way they could make money."'

Yeah, that's what I was going for.


Wikipedia [1] implies it's to give them an incredibly large field of vision to spot prey, though the source it cites [2] seems less certain about that

It's not worth it to them precisely because the vast majority of web traffic is served over HTTPS. You can bet they would these days if most traffic was HTTP


There's lots of rumors/leaks that Valve has a successor to the index coming very soon that may check all the boxes for you, it may be worth keeping an eye out for that.


I would love to see that, the Valve index was pretty good. Also, in terms of companies which actually care about their customers, Valve is also one of the top.


Or mint, which is a much more popular Ubuntu derivative which uses flatpaks


I recently built a personal project using peewee and it doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles but it works well for what it does do.


Do you use type hints? I was quite excited by peewee until I discovered the author's stance on type hints in python:

> I think type hints are misguided and unpythonic, and it's my stance that they will never be supported by peewee. Python is a high-level dynamic language, peewee plays to these strengths. You couldn't implement peewee in go, it'd look completely different.

There are thirdparty stubs available though, so I wonder how well these work.

PS: I do get that Python's type system might lack the expressiveness to fully support all ORM-like functionality, but I don't think that's a reason to not even provide hints for the super simple cases like `Person.select()`.


Yep, on the ollama home page (https://ollama.com/) it says

using uv after years of fumbling with pip/venv, pyenv, conda, etc feels like a superpower. It really just works.


Even as an occasional casual Python user of several years, I noticed how much simpler it is to check out new projects using uv compared to other tools. It's such a relief because I used to encounter so many weird compatibility issues with Python, I guess mostly related to global installs of runtime versions and dependencies. In the past year or so, the situation seems to have dramatically improved thanks to uv.
