Not the parent commenter. I prefer PowerShell to any Unix shell. It can be tab-completed, including every cmdlet's parameter names. Writing PowerShell scripts is a delight. In fact I can write the core business logic in C#, VB, F#, or any other CLR language, and expose the shell logic with a thin PowerShell wrapper.
> Don’t do your videos for money.

This is of course a valid suggestion, and there are many, many creators that do this. However I think the world would be a poorer place if we lost all the creators that do need to make _some_ money for their channels to survive, which IMHO is the natural endgame if we remove or block all routes to passive monetisation.

I do get the issue with premium, as a premium subscriber myself I too find it annoying to be interrupted by yet another 30-second (or increasingly, more) read for some shady VPN or whatever.

Channel memberships, like patreon etc., are an option, but have a vanishingly small rate of uptake, and people expect some sort of value-add in return (early access to videos, a discord, and so on). Without other routes to revenue this just devalues the content itself, which I feel may be part of the problem here - we no longer value attach value to quality content. Rick Beato made a great video on the effects of this (in the music industry) recently, and it’s not great - but it does feel like all media is going a similar way.
Have You Heard of the Extinct Banana?
It takes forever to "properly learn" a language in my opinion, because it would mean the total emersion into the ecosystem and most prominent libraries built around that language as well, and they will be always moving targets even though the language itself might be static. Go is no exception, and in fact there are only a handful of languages that can be ever "properly learned" if we are strict about that. The trick is not to properly learn, but to know how to learn enough of anything you need and make the best use out of that.
Not sure if you're being intentionally cheeky by pointing out a use case one wouldn't use Go for but will answer anyway.

A language with a GC (like go) typically isn't a good fit for a 3d engine. Almost all serious engines are C++, at least for the core code, for that reason.
They can take their time, although they seem to implement the worst parts of it. Remote attestation and manifest v3. Who else could ever live without these features?
Is a lot and is not a lot at all. When I was using buses to get to work, I got almost 90 min of walking and walking like activities a day just by existing - going to stop, standing on the bus, going to store, walking for lunch or to the office toilettes.

It is kind of nothing if you live "the old school way", that amount of walking just accumulates. If you live "the post covid way" or "car with close parking lot way", then it becomes large block of time you have to carve separately.
Eh it’s a big topic and the post was already getting too long. You are right that mall goths are less interested in the “ethos” of the previous subculture and more interested in the surface appearance, but I think that probably applies to every subculture of modern times.

If you wanna really go off the deep end, try looking into "fuel dumping" community — there's a small group of people who basically have figured out a series of bugs in how fares are coded (that lets them buy flights much cheaper then intended).

Your gas bill is probably charged and billed directly by the gas supplier.

People get confused very easily when small digital subscriptions are charged through third parties on behalf of sellers whose name is often different from the app or service.

Yeah, about that. An alarmingly significant part of Gen Z and younger gens reportedly claim that strangling is a standard part of sex. 1/4 (or more) are claiming a non-binary status (which in itself is fine on an individual level but alarming as a trend) There's hardly anything positive about this "revolution".

We should clearly start working on ways to reliably postpone children's contact with online porn. Until somebody proves otherwise, we should think there's an obvious causation here.

Based on what? Exceptions do the sensible thing at all times: auto-bubbling up (no random swallowing), contain info about its origin, and a handler can be specified as tightly or widely as necessary.

It’s objectively superior to grepping for an error message, or straight up not doing anything which go is especially prone to do, as after a time all the if errs become just visual noise.

The ECFG GMSL3 series is ideal for the automotive industry, particularly in applications such as factory burn-in tests and the AA process in optical module manufacturing. It enhances the accuracy and efficiency of testing by providing high-resolution monitoring, real-time data analysis, and error bits checking, ensuring components are tested under extreme conditions and meet strict quality standards.

1. Factory Burn-In Tests

In factory burn-in tests, the ECFG GMSL3 series captures high-resolution images and video at high frame rates to monitor the performance of automotive components under stress. It also analyzes data in real-time to detect anomalies, checks error bits for accurate data capture, and ensures components are reliable and durable.

2. AA Process in Optical Module Manufacturing

The ECFG GMSL3 series aids the AA process by utilizing high-resolution cameras to inspect assembled components, ensuring they meet quality standards. It optimizes assembly line processes by analyzing video data, reducing errors, and improving efficiency. Additionally, it monitors machinery for predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

First I was wondering why there are ad banners visible in the image. With a line scan camera the background which is standing still should actually only have horizontal stripes.

But since the company Omega produced this photo it actually makes sense to artificially add their logo next to the Olympic rings.
Messy Directories?
Exciting and very cool! I look forward to the continued improvement in this area. Especially when the loop is closed within Sakana and you can say "this discovery was made by The AI Scientist" as part of another paper.

If I might offer some small feedback on the blog post:

- Alt-text and/or caption of the initial image would be helpful for screen readers

- Using both "dramatically" and "radically" in one sentence to describe near future improvements seems a bit much.

- When talking about the models used, "Sonnet" could either be 3.0 Sonnet or 3.5 Sonnet and those have pretty different capabilities.

Thanks again for the impressive work!
If we're being honest, private backroom deals based on a variety of business factors and debates. Venmo is Paypal, Paypal has Musk's and Thiel's deep pockets. They can and will settle something.

There is no real line, just imaginary ones apple draws arbitrarily.
My take is... if you do something because you enjoy it, go for it. We all have hobbies and stuff we like doing. If instead you do something because it saves you money, do some math first to check if your time isn't more valuable. I might be, it might not be, but think about it and only then make the call.

> It has the type system I'd need from Java or C#

Its type system is much more primitive than either one of those.
In the same line of reasoning, Go also doesn't support getters/setters. You can't write v.a = 1 and expect it to call v.SetA(1). And that's a good thing. Cosmetically, because it avoids that all thickheads add a trivial get/set for each and every member. Functionally, because it can make code appear to do something it doesn't do, and this also goes for other operator overloading.

I've worked on C# code where db.open was a test to check for a database connection, but assigning to it would open or close the database. It should simply not be possible to hide that behind an assignment symbol. It's like having db.Query(...) delete the data.
At your link it also says:

Seriously though, it seems AI is being marketed towards investors, and that wherever it was included in a product it will be just to say it's on the product roadmap.

Dropbox + a NAS as a secondary is a decent strategy then (assuming I've understood the Dropbox tooling usage here)

The difficulties “everyone has” kind of pale in comparison to things like not being able to see well or at all, having limited motor skills, not being able to walk… etc

It’s fundamentally dehumanizing to suggest that disabled people don’t deserve to be given the things they need to live as equitable a life as possible. They’re people, they deserve to be able to interact with our society in whatever way best meets their needs whether that be by requiring elevators in tall buildings, ramps along with every set of exterior stairs, or that you build your public business’ website so that everybody who uses the web can access it by way of screen reader.
You are not[1]. This is not a complex problem but the author has managed to make a blog article out of it and come to the conclusion that rational numbers are required.

The reason the author gives for rejecting your proposal is they have added a uniqueness constraint which makes the update awkward but you can indeed work around that in a variety of ways or just drop the uniqueness constraint altogether.

[1] Although update doesn't have an "order by" clause[2] but I'm assuming you mean 'update' and then subsequently 'select' with the order by. I think if you actually want an update to proceed sequentially in some order you have to use a cursor.

Sure, I totally get that. I’m no fan of being advertised to myself and as a premium subscriber I do find sponsor segments - especially poorly-places ones - just as annoying as everyone else when watching YouTube - which is why I said I was conflicted in my earlier comment.

However as I mentioned in another reply in this thread, removing routes to monetisation and devaluing content in general (by making it be effectively a loss-leader for value-add sponsorships or memberships) will only have the effect of making YouTube non-viable for many, and especially those who necessarily have higher production values to make better quality (I’m thinking more thoroughly-researched, more interesting, that sort of thing) content.

I’m not arguing against having more people at NASA. Simply against the claim that this is the evidenced issue. Unless the entire American space programme is a failure, private operators are not the root problem.

I don’t know much about Def Con but the drama coming out of this conference is really entertaining.
...this takes me down a rabbit hole to 2010. We once tried to establish "Public Intelligence" [PubInt] as it was a term we used since 2003 in 2010 but it only caught on with some businesses. The then definition was - to differenciate it from OSINT - bound to the use of the information in a "civic" context - here you got them for fun and giggles:

2003: Public intelligence refers to sources of information freely available to the individual to be the basis for it's role as a responsible and critical citizen as part of a group or state.

Public Intelligence is associated with the application of Open source intelligence (OSInt) to empower the public in its dealings with all forms of organization, and most especially government. It is an applied variant of Collective intelligence.

It was inspired by the 1978 Colby book:

"Intelligence must accept the end of its special status in the American government, and take on the task of informing the public of its nature and its activities as any other department or agency. . . . By far the most effective manner of accomplishing the task . . . is by letting the public benefit directly from the products of intelligence, its information and assessments. " --former DCI William Colby, Honorable Men: My Life in the CIA, Simon & Schuster, 1978, pp. 459-60.

> I assume you haven't had the opportunity to use .NET tooling yet.

I've used it some, not to the same extent, and generally at work - another one of those cultural differences I've found is that most JVM/etc. companies are at least theoretically on-board with open-sourcing their non-core libraries, whereas in .NET land there's much less willingness to do that. The actual tooling is good (the best I've used in some ways), but that's only one piece of the puzzle.

> Are you interested in getting .NET SDK to run on FreeBSD?

The SDK itself runs great. I'm more interested in being able to drop in a small program that solves a problem for me - like, that's the way I started with Ruby or OCaml or Go or Erlang, there was a standalone thing that I could pick up and use as part of my system, I didn't have to rearchitect everything or buy into the whole ecosystem or change my workflow. I don't even know Erlang at all, but it's running in my stack in that I'm running Riak (with the Java driver), and that gives me a place where it's already adding value and I could dip my toe further into it if I wanted. That's the thing I've never found from the .NET world - a reason to run it in my system that doesn't require me to fully buy into it to get started. (I guess in theory SQL server could be that, but it's non-opensource and doesn't have any compelling selling point over the substitutes. Part of it's honestly probably just marketing, but that goes for any new language/tool - the most persuasive thing is hearing other people having success with it in a similar situation)

> Was "the evil" software just an ancient WinForms application?

Quite possibly, but I remember command-line tools also not working - just these random one-developer tools have no reason to publish versions for other platforms, and it's not the natural workflow, so they don't. Probably the issues are minor (like, I remember one that was using some windows-only part of the standard library to do something incredibly basic like base64 decoding - I'm sure someone who uses .NET every day would take 30 seconds to swap that out with using the right part of the .NET core standard library instead. But it doesn't make for an easy onramp)
I’m getting extremely annoyed that I have to keep paying ~30% more than other platforms for iOS subscriptions.

"Zone" training is primarily a way for high mileage runners to get the physical adaptation of running with lower risk of injury on easy days. If you're running < 20 mpw there should be minimal risk of injury and you should focus on increasing mileage and not on heart rate (which is highly variable depending on the person anyway, and should be properly determined with a LT test).
The third protocol:

* Housekeeping is optional, and not preferred. Housekeeping never shows up.
* Security is never seen once on any floor above the ground level.

This has been my experience in Las Vegas in 5 different hotel rooms in the same hotel this year. These were 3 to 4 day stays. If the stay is longer than that then maybe a visit from security is more likely, but I didn't see them at all in the afternoons, evenings, mornings, any time. There was a security guard at the elevators on 1 day out of all the days I stayed.

The "protocol" probably depends on the hotel, where it's located, the events going on around Las Vegas at the time, and probably what the budget for security is.

The reports of mandatory security coming from "locals" and others in the comments here seem pretty wild to me, and far outside of what I've experienced in Las Vegas in the last year.
Totally fair point, work isn't supposed to be fun. It's being paid to do something that provides something of value to the person doing the paying.

However, at some point, employers heavily leaned into the whole "work is fun/rewarding/meaningful" shtick in order to skimp out on actual tangible compensation. So I'd argue that an informal "contract" was made or implied, whereby I agreed that "job is fun/rewarding" would form part of my compensation.

And that's going away now as people are realizing they were duped. There's only so many free perks, parties and vending machines before you realize "this place is f-ing toxic, the clients treat us like shit, and my boss really isn't treating me like 'family' and being loyal to me."
