At 18? Who is starting a family at 18 years old in that climate?

Claude Opus's Fermi estimate of the number of 18 year olds, making at least $100,000 a year, in California, with children, to be about 8 people. Not 8 thousand, not 8 hundred. Eight. Single digit. In a state of 40 million people.

Then what is this 100K good for? Paying for food and living with roommates? This is not great.

Oh yes I was working on providing binaries together with pip - currently we're relying on pyproject.toml, but once we utilize setup.py (I think), using binaries gets much simpler

I'm still working on it, but sadly I'm not a packaging person so progress has been nearly zero :(

Don't worry. Don't let the rednecks screaming here affect you. As for one, I'm happy that you have automated this part and sad to see it is going away. People will always complain. It might be reasonable feedback worth acting upon. Don't let their tone distract you though. Some of them are just angry all day.

Turkish tourist are desired, Turks love spending money on restaurants and activities especially since the prices in Turkey have become more expensive than most of the EU. Greeks even introduced special non-Schengen on-arrival visa valid on the Greek islands especially for the Turks. Besides that, EU has "green passport" exception for the Turkish nationals, where they can travel visa-free on this kind of passport that is provided to individuals that meet certain criteria and millions of such passports were issued.

The rejection rates are also not bad and EU has a "return agreement" with Turkey, which is designed to keep the middle eastern refugees in Turkey(essentially, if you come from Turkey EU can send you back to Turkey right away ).

Crime rates for Turks show up among the lowest ones, unlike others from the region. So I don't think that EU is trying to reduce visas for Turks.

You are looking at it from Turkish perspective unfortunately.

You can debate semantics / definitions or make an assessment and get most of the benefit.

He is saying that the assessment is wrongly done.

SSO isn’t an enterprise feature, it is an access control and governance feature regardless of user population.

Who needs it except entreprises for the 99.99% usecase?

Geminis free tier allows maybe 5 messages on average, for 2.5 pro at least and this is not usable.

I’m using Claude Pro for daily driver and Gemini / ChatGPT free tiers.

Because it has nothing to do with this forum. It's completely random.

> it is built on trust.

This is funny coming from Cloudflare, the company that blocks most of the internet from being fetched with antispam checks even for a single web request. The internet we knew was open and not trusted , but thanks to companies like Cloudflare, now even the most benign , well meaning attempt to GET a website is met with a brick wall. The bots of Big Tech, namely Google, Meta and Apple are of course exempt from this by pretty much every website and by cloudflare. But try being anyone other than them , no luck. Cloudflare is the biggest enabler of this monopolistic behavior

That said, why does perplexity even need to crawl websites? I thought they used 3rd party LLMs. And those LLMs didn't ask anyones permission to crawl the entire 'net.

Also the "perplexity bots" arent crawling websites, they fetch URLs that the users explicitly asked. This shouldnt count as something that needs robots.txt access. It's not a robot randomly crawling, it's the user asking for a specific page and basically a shortcut for copy/pasting the content

Don't they need a search index?

Ha - thanks for answering this and clearing it up! Like I said, apologies if I was wrong. I think my AI slop paranoia had kicked in!

No, honestly the comment was more than legitimate, I guess the author part made me think of LLMs summarizing research papers.

Well, at least I've discovered unlurker out of this :)

You should just say straightforward apoligies. Like I said, apologies if I was wrong doesn't cut it.
