[ On | No ] syntactic support for error handling Robert Griesemer 3 June 2025 One of the oldest and most persistent complaints about Go concerns the verbosity of error handling. We are all intimately (some may say painfully) familiar with this code pattern: x, err := call() if err != nil { // handle err } The test if err != nil can be so pervasive that it drowns out the rest of the code. This typically happens in programs that do a lot of API calls, and where handling errors is rudimentary

Universal’s been chomping at the bit to do more Jurassic Park movies, and it thinks it’s got a new saga ready, starting with July’s Jurassic World Rebirth. Now that dinosaurs are freely roaming around the planet in relative harmony with humans, what could go wrong? As it turns out, quite a lot. The planet isn’t as hospitable to the genetically engineered beasts as imagined, so they’re now residing in tropical areas similar to Islas Nublar and Sorna.

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) has been reintroduced into Congress. If passed into law, this bill could impose some of the most significant legislative changes that the internet has seen in the U.S. since the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998. As it currently stands, KOSA would be able to hold social media platforms legally accountable if it’s proven that these companies aren’t doing enough to protect minors from harm.

But buried amongst those cuts, legislators also proposed a decade-long ban on AI regulations at the state level.

It’s been more than 160 years since Archaeopteryx first shook up science as the missing link—part reptile, part bird—and indicated that today’s pigeons and parakeets are the feathery descendants of dinosaurs. But despite decades of research, there’s still more to learn. Case in point: a newly described fossil, nicknamed the Chicago Archaeopteryx, may be the most detailed and revealing specimen yet. “The most important findings all center around rarely preserved soft tissues.

No matter where you go, the odds are that a CBD product is nearby. Now sold at gas stations, drugstores and grocery stores, CBD seems to be everywhere due to its reported health benefits for chronic pain, sleep and anxiety. However, it's important to know that the FDA has only approved one cannabis-derived drug product (with a prescription). Plus, according to a Penn Medicine study, almost 70% of CBD extracts sold online are mislabeled. It's no wonder there is so much confusion surrounding CBD.

2024 was shaping up to be the year Congress regulated how kids engage with social media, particularly through one bill, the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). A debate about its risks to free expression still raged, but the voices of the bill’s advocates seemed to ring loudest in senators’ ears. The momentum was there. The Senate vote was virtually unanimous. Then, unexpectedly, House Republican leadership — worried KOSA would make Silicon Valley giants remove more conservative content — let it fade

In this paper, we introduce CosAE (Cosine Autoencoder), a novel, generic Autoencoder that seamlessly leverages the classic Fourier series with a feed-forward neural network. CosAE represents an input image as a series of 2D Cosine time series, each defined by a tuple of learnable frequency and Fourier coefficients. This method stands in contrast to a conventional Autoencoder that often sacrifices detail in their reduced-resolution bottleneck latent spaces. CosAE, however, encodes frequency coeff

Diversity is central to one of the biggest questions paleontologists have about dinosaurs. Namely, were these ancient creatures already on the decline when that fateful asteroid came crashing out of the sky? A group of Earth scientists believes they probably were not. While it’s true that fossils from the final dinosaur era are comparatively rare compared to those that came before, it seems the fossil record may not be telling the entire story.
