Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

okay, for some reason, I feel the need to help.

The given link defines the function that creates a UUID:

uuid.uuid4(): Generate a random UUID.

In mathematics, can you generate a monotonic function by generating random numbers?

Thanks for trying to explain it. I was hung up on thinking all UUIDs looked like UUID v4. I read up a little on UUID v7 and it’s making sense. Probably should’ve done that sooner.

you are probably a better person than i am for actually giving an explanation
