I built https://milliondollarllm.com, a pixel-style public board inspired by the old “Million Dollar Homepage,” but focused on LLM and AI projects.

The idea:

Companies can pay for space for their LLM/AI product (1 USD = 1 pixel) and get a logo + link on the public board.

Each paying “sponsor” can choose one free/open project to endorse publicly.

Free projects get a small logo and description for free, and can be highlighted via a sponsor endorsement.

The goal is to make a simple, transparent way for companies to get a bit of visibility for their LLM/AI products, and at the same time, shine some light on smaller or open projects that deserve attention.

Python 3.12 3 years ago

:) Oh, this is neat! Python 3.12.0 has brought some cool features to the table. I'm particularly keen on the flexible f-string parsing and the performance improvements. The new type annotation syntax for generic classes is a nice touch too. It's always good to see Python getting refined with each release. Looking forward to exploring these new additions...

Ivy is both an ML transpiler and a framework, currently supporting JAX, TensorFlow, PyTorch and Numpy.

Ivy unifies all ML frameworks enabling you not only to write code that can be used with any of these frameworks as the backend, but also to convert any function, model or library written in any of them to your preferred framework!

I find myself in a bit of a quandary over the upcoming Nintendo Switch release slated for this fall. Having navigated my way from the Switch Lite to the standard Switch, and now being confronted with the OLED model, I can't help but feel a sense of continuity, rather than any groundbreaking advancement. I revel in the games, no doubt about it, but the purported 'improvements' haven't sparked any significant eureka moments for me. Each upgrade has cost me an additional 100-150 euros, yet the experience, albeit slightly enhanced, doesn't seem to justify the price tag. I'm left questioning, is the elusive "it's better" worth it? What are your thoughts, fellow gamers?

Under twitter post people write nice answers, best wishes, stories, & support for her to see.

Thank you very much Ewa, for the wonderful work you have done at Python Software Foundation and for the whole Python community. Best wishes on your new projects and I wish you the best for your future :)

I created this package because I needed to turn on and off some features on my personal projects. I mainly use it in GeoSearch.dev, where I can control the flow of matching engine at runtime. I don't think anyone needs to explain how feature flags work.

I already use the package in production, but there is still room for improvement. I hope you will like it.

Transform any unstructured text data into meaningful geo data. Get geolocation data such as Country, State, City, Coordinates, or Timezone.

The service is not perfect and is still being worked on. But I think it can help someone.

Yes, they do. I did admin work a long time ago and mostly it was planned to have information about the connection, in case they have a dynamic IP. It works reliably to this day.

Absolutely agree with you, 5 users here, 5 there and you will have hundreds in 1 year, 500 after 2 years and so on... This happened to me with my side project hostbeat.info. I have started it bcs some of my friends wanted this kind of service. Then I have realized that I can do it as a multi-user SaaS. I was expecting thousands of users in the first month, still don't know why :) (perhaps I made it free of charge?) Made a post on 3-4 forums/discussions, etc... scaled my server to handle load almost to 10.000 daily active users. And.... 2 registrations happened in the first month. This was not expected and hit me hard. But later on, as you write, it started to gain some traction. One user per week, 2, then 3 users. Sometimes 2 new per day, the other day or week or month nothing. Sometimes I am surprised that some big player on the IT market has registered and is also actively using it (2 largest telco operators in DE and AT fe.) I don't care anymore about profit or userbase. I'm happy with it as is and sometimes users are sending me emails and thanking me for such service.
