I needed a ten year phase in which I had dual boot for Linux and Windows. Then a few years only Linux and Windows on a VM, mainly for office. And since a few years only Linux. I don't miss Windows.

On the other hand, if you don't care too much about the exact behavioral details of your app, the ability of AI to add "something random that fits somehow" comes handy.

Now you write your project description in English and not in programming language. But if you want to define the behavior in equal details, this might be a similar effort. Plus it adds more ambiguities.

You imply that it would be sufficient to check only one simplex, which can't be true because you can't capture information of the whole set, if large parts of it are not included in the calculation. Instead, you need to find the point mu that minimizes the average of the volumes of all simplices.

I recently was wondering if the super rich (Trump, Musk, Bezos and co.) use toilet brushes themselves or let their personnel do it after them. I asked GPT and it said mostly the latter one.

Growing a huge fund under his own control has been the path to power for Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia. Maybe that is the same pattern.

In German you don't distinguish between "monkey" and "ape" in the first place, both are "Affe", so this is not too surprising.

I have been doing "print debugging" since I started to program 37 years ago and just learned today that it's a sin not to embrace debugging tools.

By observing how often the topic "rape in prison" is addressed in US media (like movies), I get the feeling that some see it as valid part of the punishment. A civilized society should try to prohibit sexual violence against everybody.

I experimented with binary space partitioning of elements sets in earlier projects. That doesn't have such a worst case but requires sorting of elements on buildup.

Octrees/quadtrees are fixed in space and the elements are inserted into its cells. The good thing is, the inserting works with O(ln(N)) (N: number of leaves, not elements). In a worst case all elements are clustered in one region.

I usually apply octrees but what you suggest would be a spherical k-d tree, right? Sounds interesting. What are the advantages/disadvantages?
