Given these advantages I expect the current "social media" to be replaced with a new one, rather than them pivoting. The next big thing after tiktok might be something that only has generated content, where a last final bit of "social" is taken out of "social media".

But for me, it often results in situations where I think much harder and longer than others but fail to act.

I learned to sometimes act instead of thinking more, because by acting I gain information I could not have learned by thinking.

Perhaps this human insight can be applied to working with LLMs. Perhaps not :)

So if you find some script on the web that has an `import foo` at the top, you cannot just `pip install foo`. Instead, you'll have to do some research into which package was originally used. Maybe it's named `pyfoo` or `foolib`.

Compare that to for example Java, which does not have that problem, thanks to Reverse Domain Name Notation. That is a much better system.

    What has been will be again,
    what has been done will be done again;
    there is nothing new under the sun.

(Note: I'm not saying anything about this specific code, which I have not looked at)

> The study found evidence that food processing is a likely source of microplastic contamination, as highly processed protein products (like fish sticks, chicken nuggets, tofu, and plant-based burgers, among others) contained significantly more microplastics per gram than minimally processed products (items like packaged wild Alaska pollock, raw chicken breast, and others).

Note the tofu and plant-based burgers.

I'm not talking about being obliged to share. Of course people should have the right to not share their credit details. My point is that if you receive information from someone, then choosing to share it with a third party is not stealing.

Actually, an obligation to share information is a restriction on freedom just like copyright, which can prohibit sharing information.

Are you then saying that when Bob sends another copy to Charlie, Bob is taking something? What is Bob taking?

The person that came up with the idea still has it. The photographer still has the picture. The programmer still has the program.

It's just about what another person may do with it, the one receiving the picture. May they also send it to someone else? We could have different ideas about that, but calling it "stealing" is inaccurate.

For that case I like a type signifier as part of the number literal expression, like this: `x := 10f32` or `x := 10i32`.

You could say that it's simple but not easy

That said, I don't think it matters much. A developer familiar with some lispy language (and perhaps functional programming) should be able to quickly pickup any other lispy language. And the developers that make the most money have probably used a lot of programming languages, with different paradigms.
