I am not for or against AGI, but why is there anxiety around it? Do people simply hear sales rhetoric and assume that it can exist and will be used in order to dominate their lives?

I'm not referencing sales rhetoric, I'm referencing scientific consensus. AGI will have the same kind of impact on our species as fire and electricity did. We stand at a crossroads between unimaginable success and enormous catastrophe...

Well, good luck with that, hopefully it will learn to spell blueberry.

Why not do Indexable = Any and pass that? Even if it doesn't help your jit or the IDE, at least it is more explicit than

    def lol(blarg):  # types? haha you wish. rtfc you poor sod. Pytharn spirit ftw!!!

To be fair, I use it to share financial time series between multiple processes and as long as there is a single writer it works well. Been in production since several years.

Creating a shared memory buffer by mapping it as a file is not the same as mapping files on disk. The latter has weird and subtle problems, whereas the former just works.

To be clear, I am indeed doing mmap to the same file on disk. Not using shmap. But there is only one thread in one process writing to it and the readers are tolerant to millisecond delays.

> millisecond delays

I thought you said financial time series!

But yeah, this is a case where mmap works great - convenience, not super fast, single writer and not necessarily super durable.

> I thought you said financial time series!

Yeah it is just your average normal financial time series.

I have seen a crab brush his eye with one of his foldable mouth arms. We already have aliens. They are more weird than anything I saw on star trek.

Yes, "how will scammers use this information to trick people into woowoo?"

But we already have plenty to think about.

You were right in this case. It says 49 elements, but the table is 7x8

Reminds me of how we got to 42…

Like these EU fines?

    * May 22, 2023, Meta €1.2 billion.
    * July 22, 2024, Uber €290 million.
    * April 23, 2025, Apple €500 million.
    * September 4, 2025, Google €2.95 billion.

Is it similar to being tired of people suggesting that influencers who abuse the poverty porn trope have somehow done a good thing?

It is all fun and games until they break libc on the next update.
