Oh my god i never read this thats so cool

Oh thats genuinely realy cool.

I remember back when I lived in Berlin and studied planetary Science there. One of the Professors calculated and predicted where one of those Meteors is gonna go down. So people went there and watched and photographed it. Afterwards there was a little bit of an all hands on deck where a lot of students with different Professors went out and searched for the remains of the meteorite.

Wait a second. They predicted (before it even entered atmosphere) where it was coming down with such a precision that you could not just go out and photograph it, but even go and collect remains? I thought this was barely possible if you have a radar that is actively tracking it through the last stages of the atmosphere, while for anything still in orbit you'd be lucky to guess the correct country.

The things in earth orbit have a very small angle of entry. I'd expect that if the angle is bigger, the deflection from the atmosphere would be smaller (if it survives the hit).

I still have never seen any prediction like that which was made before the thing actually entered the atmosphere. You can see how some known remains sites were determined by clicking on them in this map: https://www.strewnify.com/map/

I mean theoretically if there are many competitiors the costs of the product should generally drop because competition.

Sadly enough I have not seen this happening in a long time.

Not gonna lie I just hope the rewrite it in rust community takes a stab at it at one point,

There are already at least two geometry kernels being written in scratch in Rust (see fornjot.app for one) --- the problem is the first parts are obvious/easy, so initial progress is rapid, then one hits the difficult/intractable parts and progress stalls, usually to be abandoned.

There are a couple of doctorates available for folks who are willing to research and publish in this space --- the commercial products are all holding their solutions as trade secrets in their code --- even then though, the edge cases are increasingly difficulty to solve in such a way as to not break what is already working, hence the commercial kernels having _very_ large teams working on them, or at least that is my understanding from what Michael Gibson (former lead developer of Rhino 3D, current developer of Moment of Inspiration 3D) has written on the topic.

Do you know who inspected a bridge before you drive over it?

oh yeah AI realy does not seem to actually know which packages exist. I once asked AI to create a devenv for some Julia development and it pulled some packages out of its ass that just plain did not exist.

I'm overwhelmingly surprised about Claude's ability to know the package.

But the cut-off point in model / harness quality before it hallucinates everything but the general Nix syntax is staggeringly low.

this should realy be one of those accross the aisles things. Well it kinda is, across both sides of the political spectrum there is for some fucking reason a huge support for this. I am so pissed.

> for some fucking reason

It's what the oligarchy wants. The reason is that it's always whatever the oligarchy wants.

you know what I am slowly starting to feel the conspiracy theorists, just its not wack child eating lizardman but Super Rich people wanting back a Feudalist Society.

there is a power that could help with this. And I know quite a few people do not like this. But this would be prime EU real estate.

I mean if you know how GPTs work its realy logical. This also basically means that for anything boundary pushing, new features etc. AI is basically useless.

I would even go as far as conjecturing that this means self improving models as some AI proponents proclaim are around the corner. Are as far away as they had always been.

how do you quantify equal usage?
