I've started picking up F# too and am trying AoC with it this year. I'm still early in my functional journey, but I think AoC has been helpful thus far.

I guess the site supports Hepburn-romanized names. I believe adding support Kunrei-shiki and maybe Nihon-shiki names too would resolve this issue pretty well.

Given that it's an English site, I'm unsure of the value of supporting the original Japanese names too, but of course it would be neat if it did.

(More info about Japanese romanization for any interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese#Moder...)

The article doesn't make this immediately clear:

> It's a 24.6MP camera that Sony says doesn't compromise on ISO performance or dynamic range.

Then later:

> This might explain the base ISO of 250, which will ultimately limit the camera's maximum dynamic range.

Sounds like a compromise to me...

AI: こんにちは。今日はどこに行くんですか？ Me: 今日は家にいますよ。 AI: それは素晴らしいご安全に。 [?!]

Very strange reply.

Me: よく出かけたりしますか。 AI: そうです。私は新しい場所を探索するのが好きです。

Good that the たりします form didn't trip it up.

AI: こんにちは。今日はどこに行くんですか？ Me: 三重県に行こうかなと思っていましたが、今回は愛知県にしました。楽しみです。 AI: 愛知県はとても良いところです。きっと楽しい時間を過ごせると思います。楽しみにしていることはありますか？ Me: 特にないかな。訪れてみたいと思っただけなんです。. AI: さて、愛知は見どころがたくさんありますね。名古屋城、トヨタ自動車博物館、そしてもちろん明治村の野外博物館もあります。 Me: なるほど。行かれたことはありますか。 AI: いや、まだチャンスがないんだ。でも、いい噂は聞いていますよ。

Not bad. It didn't falter with my 三重県のひっかけ either. The んだ felt a bit odd, but pretty solid.

AI: こんにちは！今日はどこに行くんですか？ Me: 今のところ、目的地は特にありません。 AI: では、今のところ、目的地は特にありません。 [笑] Me: そういう感じなんです。すみません。. AI: 大丈夫ですよ。あなたがどこに行きたいか、お手伝いしますよ。 Me: 愛知県内で自然がたくさんあるところに行きたいかな。 AI: 愛知県内には自然がたくさんあるんですよ。どこか特定の場所をお探しですか？

Line 3 was pretty odd, but again not bad beyond that.

It's a good start, at least. It could be interesting to see how this develops.

I'm looking forward to the new Visual Studio for Mac coming out of preview, though I should try Rider more too.

I agree with others that this is promising. Thanks for sharing.

One point of feedback: Searching for "C#" seems to bring up C articles and no C# ones, so I suspect perhaps the "#" isn't being included.

Do you have any particular habits or resources for getting news summaries, or do you just check regular news site less frequently?
