@richrants @kenshirriff I was involved in the development of a star tracker for a satellite: It's basically a camera, a database of all the known stars and some fancy algorithms. You point it at an arbitrary bit of the sky and it gives you you're attitude relative to the rest of the universe, no other external inputs necessary except for the starlight :D

@thorsten4future @cmconseils They did this at my Alma Mater, the University of Würzburg/Germany. Though I must admit that the campus for natural science is super ugly, I always liked the organic path design. They regularly added paths whenever new buildings/destinations emerged as well

@sstrader @jaredwhite Exactly. The people who are surprised or in awe about this video do not understand that these models say whatever keeps you engaged with them. It's the same as if some right-wing influencer posted a video of them asking grok about conspiracy theories and it agreed. Nothing of value was added, the models just repeat your own opinions and congratulate you on how smart you are. And I'm deeply in shock about how quickly "my bubble" now agrees with AI generated standpoints, just because they match their own biases

@supertux Wow, nostalgia road right there. Never realized I've got so many memories of playing SuperTux as a child with my friends. Gonna give this a try!
