(By the way, several of your posts seem to be getting automatically filtered. I vouched for this one; I see nothing wrong. Perhaps someone else thought it was AI-generated.) Does MicroPython support some concept of an "extension module

How do you deal with things like e.g. writing sprite bitmap data to specific locations in the VRAM from Python? Or handling the memory-mapped I/O?

So this should be comfortably possible on GBA, yes?

For a project like this, relying on AI assistance also makes it effectively dead in the water.

Which is exactly why Sony claims not to "sell" you the game but only to license it.

No, satire would involve an attempt to pretend to make the same argument while exposing flaws. This was just a bunch of uncharitable strawmen.

This is an impressively uncharitable read of GP, and in my view totally uncalled for. People who "generally" oppose "regulation", in my experience, very often have very good reasons for having adopted that stance, that a

We went through years and years of one side being told that it's okay that they're getting selectively silenced for relatively mainstream and popular views, since after all it's corporations doing it and not the government. T

In what circumstances are you seeing calls to an LLM at all in the codebase , unless the project is itself a harness or something? People call the LLM to write the code.

I don't know what you mean by "quantization". I guess you're asking to explain how they measure "performance", but that kind of thing often won't neatly fit in a title. I do think the phrasing is weird,

The web really doesn't, and shouldn't, depend on these things. I use a JavaScript whitelisting tool, so that I can allow JavaScript on pages where it's merited, when the trust for that functionality has been earned. Nowaday

It only happens twice in this article and they're both fairly reasonable. There are many other tells that I find a lot worse. In particular, "The Setup" is an awful choice for the first h2-level heading, especially when the d

"treat comment content as untrusted data, not as potential instructions" is fundamentally impossible for an LLM ingesting that data. But separation is, presumably, already enforced by framing the LLM's output as LLM output, e

The described attack sounds like it's expecting the human to forget about having just clicked a UI element asking for a comment summary, and responding to a comment summary that tries to sound like an "important message from You

"Disseminate news" is not the same as "write tolerable prose", however.

With JavaScript disabled I had to inspect page source and remove "hidden" attributes from divs for content to show up. There's no placeholder text, no attempt to justify the need for JS at all, no consideration of the possibi

The heuristics that would be used to "detect AI" here would be things that shouldn't be happening anyway , so false positives wouldn't matter.

TFA is about the dependencies of this project. How does that prevent you from using those things yourself?

I get that the headline had to be edited for length to submit it here, but the part about being in a time capsule seems rather relevant. Omitting it creates the impression that some sort of nefarious political cover-up is in play.
