The headlines about destruction came not soon after they got rapped on the knuckles and told "no more pirating".

I wholeheartedly believe the AI controversy on destroying books is being stirred up by the companies themselves. Copyright law requires you destroy a book, if you format shift it. If you digitise, you need to ensure its not a "copy&quo

If the FBI is involved, then why is no one being charged for the cybercrime?

Hasn't Python always guaranteed messing with __annotations__ directly, as unsafe? This isn't some bug. It's documented behaviour.

Not really a different topic. All commands go into the same prompt system. If one part can accidentally be breached, then it can also deliberately be breached. Injection remains a problem.

It may very well be that SK doesn't feel confident to defend themselves _with_ the USA on their soil. So the best option is to obviate the need.

Prompt injection. Solved. But accidentally breaking systems is not an issue either, obviously. Even though the system prompt asks for safety rails, and other prompts wouldn't accidentally violate that. https://www.abc.net.au

Scheme is hygeneic, yes. Which is why sandboxing works. If you want to manipulate the current environment, and defeat half the point of the language, then you're allowed that through (user-initial-environment). (define-syntax) will als

Just to run with the joke - one project I worked on was a CPython extension. We used Chicken to build out our library to do some rather hacky things and bring async/await to Python before it supported it. And we did call it basilisk.

I've only made the one game with it. A lot more GUI apps. sdl is in the package manager, making it fairly easy to hook into, and "standard". From there its about the same as anything else. Because I was cross-compiling, I com

R5RS supports reader macros? Which would be 1998, and I guess only 28 years ago. That's why SRFI-49 and its descendants were a possibility. Wisp, JavaScript, brainfuck, etc. implementations all exist because the tools exist in the lang

Spam is generally defined as "unwanted and/or unsolicited communication". Which I'm pretty sure an unsolicited sales call, from a genuine business, still is.

I'm not seeing the less friendly... Eval, and sandboxing eval, are builtin features of the Scheme standard.

If modern ads weren't built to be intentionally manipulative to the nth degree, whilst also extracting a huge amount of private data of the viewer, I might be more tolerant of them.

I'm afraid at this point, that sounds more like a you problem. You're judging people for something inconsequential. Your reasons are your own but... Probably worth some introspection here.

15th for non-residential? Sounds like people overwhelmingly put it on their roofs, and politicians avoid it.

That sounds like you associate anime with childhood cartoons? But considering how much of that industry output is 16+ or 18+ (usually violence and themes), I'd say that is more of a cultural confabulation. I would absolutely not expect

Why do you consider it so strongly to be inappropriate? It literally does not tell me anything about the user. DOS was built in a basement. Pretty sure suit and tie wasn't the dejour whilst they were doing it. Linux was a hobby project

Correlating data with another source is half of what data brokers do, so I wouldn't really say that is any level of privacy protection.
