What would you have them publish instead? Your curiosity does not overcome the right to privacy of those involved.
It seems like releasing more would have probably broken the exact same rules they are claiming AdaFruit broke.

Writing software is actually one of the domains where hallucinations are easiest to fix: you can easily check whether it builds and passes tests.
If you want to go further, you can even require the LLM to produce a machine checkable proof that the software is correct. That's beyond the state of the art at the moment, but it's far from 'unsolvable'.
If you hallucinate such a proof, it'll just not work. Feed back the error message from the proof checker to your coding assistant, and the hallucination goes away / isn't a problem.
Ah, most the problem in programming is writing the tests. Once you know what you need the rest is just typing.
I can see an argument where you can get none programers to create the input and output of said tests but if the can do that, they are basically programmers.
This is of course leaving aside that half the stated use cases I hear for AI are that it can 'write the tests for you'. If it is writing the code and the tests it is pointless.

That's not why it's used in data science though. Lots of data scientists use Python all day and have no concept of ever working in a different field.
It's used in data science because it's used in data science.
But data science usually isn't an island.
Use whatever you want on your one off personal projects but use something more non-data science friendly if you ever want your model to run directly in a production workflow.
Productionizing R models is quite painful. The normal way is to just rewrite it not in R.
> culture of C# / Microsoft shops at al
What do you mean?
Been awhile since I've worked at one but it is usually grounded in trying to achieve 100% MS usage.
It is rarish to find a partial MS shop. Most of this is how hard MS makes it to use other tools. Even in 2025 they have good interop with external tools hamstrung.
Example: SQL Servers JDBC driver will convert an entire table's of data from ASCII to UTF and a full table scan instead of convertering your UTF bind to ASCII and using the ASCII based index. This doesn't break interop but does make it painful to code and one more reason to just use .Net.

Thank you for this detailed explanation. Given the above, I find it absolutely wild that the closest survivor of Hiroshima was only 170m away (granted he was in a concrete basement). In my head, I always pictured a large area completely obliterated as you described.
"Eiso Nomura (1898-1982) miraculously survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, despite the fact that the explosion occurred in the air right above him.On August 6, 1945, Mr. Nomura was in the basement of the Fuel Hall (now, the Rest House in Peace Memorial Park), about 170 meters southwest of the hypocenter."
He was 170m away from the location the bomb exploded over, not 170m away from the explosion.
That said, the bomb only exploded at roughly 600m in altitude so still pretty close.
I'm still traumatised by Java from my earlier career. So many weird patterns, FactoryFactories and Spring Framework and ORMs that work 90% of the time and the 10% is pure pain.
I have no desire to go back to Java no matter how much the language has evolved.
For me C# has filled the void of Java in enterprise/gaming environments.
That isn’t Java, but spring.
That said, if on the JVM, just use Kotlin.

If only the system would cope with power outages I would agree. My viewports refuse to reconnect to the cameras and need multiple forgets/adoptions to come back to life. The (wired) cameras themselves take hours before they show up again, except for the (WiFi) doorbell. During this period I can see the all online via the managed ubiquiti switches.
I've been using unfi protect/capture (I self hosted capture for a long time) for years and have never had a forgotten adoption any they almost never go down. I do have everything on UPS now but I never saw the issue before that either.
That said I've only used the wired bullet cams so maybe other models are not so nice.
Really the only downside I've seen is about 5ish years ago, all the bullet cams I bought would die after about .75 -> 3 years. All died with the same issue and I had 100% failure rate with any bought during that time frame. Ubiquiti replaced the ones that died during the warranty period but most died just after that expired.
The ones bought before or after that have been great so the issue was solved but I have a nice stack of dead ones that would work great as fake cameras, especially as their IR leds still light up.

There is a special form of small company that's even worse. It's the kind where "we're a family". Those are worse than anything a big company bureaucracy / bean-counting could ever be.
Small companies really magnify the extreems. Good ones are really great but bad ones are extra bad. Sadly, they are also nimble enough to switch between them, at least in one direction.
