Hi, I have an event queue, that passes events to lisp code (it's a telegram bot). When there's a bug, I'd like to have a restart for retrying the event / message. How does one do that?

beach: You are not allowed to do anything with CLtL2 except the usual right to view it privately.

The copyright page is visible on Amazon and makes it clear that all rights are reserved (note that just saying "All Rights Reserved" doesn't do this, and in fact is pointless boilerplate)

I wonder if there’s some way to work around that, given the recent ruling that the outputs of models like ChatGPT aren’t copyrightable

Some prompt such that the output isn’t considered a derivative, but it’s substantially the same content

Hmm. I was pondering to offer CLtL2 along with my Nova Spec. I was just assuming it would be ok to do so because <https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/cltl2.html> exists.

After all, I consider CLtL2 to be very well written and thought that some cross-reference from dpANS to CLtL2 would be useful.

Output of a model not being copyrightable doesn't mean the output isn't copyrighted. It could infringe on someone else's copyright. Filtering it through a LLM doesn't necessarily cleanse it.

The output can't infringe on someone else's copyright unless (a) that copyrighted material was an input and (b) the output actually infringes (and the tests for "infringement" depend on the jurisdiction.

gilberth: I don't think it's likely you'll get in trouble for providing the HTML-ized CLtL2 verbatim: there are already several well-known copies of it besides CMU's.

pfdietz: The fact that two documents are identical doesn't mean either infringes the other necessarily. There has to be a causal connection between them.

But it would infringe the LaTeX version because it is the result of a mechanical transformation of it. So the question would be, is it fair use.

In US law, there are four factors that, when balanced against each other, guide courts in deciding what is fair use. Three favor you; "amount and substantiality" is against you, since you want to copy the whole book.

if you are poor then you are filthy thief, otherwise you are a brave visionaire - that's my impression of the balancing thing

i was going to suggest writing the publisher for permission, but it looks like butterworth-heinemann is an imprint of elsevier now, so i'm even less optimistic than i started
