So you mean I can't run multiple frontier-level agents on my 9 year old 1080Ti?! That's ridiculous, seriously the pace of development has completely stagnated.

The Earth makes for a terribly imprecise clock, but it is the UT1 clock, or rather its defining component.

Somewhat the inverse, geodesy.

Yay! No more leap seconds to manage! This is going to make my life much easier.

Edit...scratch that, now I have to keep track of UT1-UTC as a separately continuously varying parameter provided by IERS instead of tzdata

What? How can you talk about the 1893 worlds fair and somehow fail to mention Tesla's "Egg of Columbus"? Shame.

That brings us back to requiring the user to present ID to the camera while doing a live-selfie, that would be a honest, belt-and-suspenders approach that's worth a look. Thanks for doing all the heavy lifting.

I noticed they also seemingly have a very difficult time managing to collect your chat logs for export/download...or rather, acknowledging that such a request was even made.

Can't read reads walls of text in Claude-ish prose? Sounds to me like you just have a SKILLS.md issue.

Should buy them about 1/3 of a GB200 server rack, good thing they scooped it.

Oh wow good thing OpenAI swooped in and scooped it. $1M? That should buy them about 1/6-1/3 of a Nvidia GB200 NVL72 rack...

Honestly, for practical engineering purposes not that much. The Navier-Stokes equations are an approximation for a mathematically ideal in-compressible fluid. Even ignoring compressibility, physical fluids in the real world are not continuous fields since they are composed of discrete molecules. However, for that small class of problems where an analytic solution can be found, then it means you can be confident in the answer (it won't blow up to infinity), and that there are no other alternate solutions to the same problem.

I didn't know goanna was a corruption of iguana, I would've said bungarra.
