This is wild. Using ads-b data and doppler modeling of the sound of aircraft, you can locate audio recordings to within a hundred feet. This noise is in the human vocal range and so survives most flirting and compression.
So the mathematical community is coming to the realization that answering the questions was never the important part:

What I find funny is this is exactly what Douglas Adams wrote about. The answer to life the universe and everything is 42.
@catsalad I believe this is relevant to your interests:
Kids project is done. They soldered all the hole through components and I did the surface mount IC and lamps.
I am so proud of them.
I am also quite pleased that I can wip out a case of this complex using FreeCAD ( @FreeCAD ) in under an hour these days.
Baby's first electronics kit.

Science diagram or shit post?
It's not easy to make out but we flew over what must have been a solar concentrator.
My kids asked me:
"what's something that exists today that didn't exist when you were a kid"
My answer was:
"airport security"

It runs!
This might look the same as my last demo but it now is getting colors for the LEDs using a stack based virtual machine that gets called for each LED like a fragment shader.
Over the weekend I made a coffee sleeve dispenser. It worked well enough but I didn't like the surface stepping on the angled surface. This is an experiment to reprint it in two parts that puts all the stepping on the inside of the object.
Dev board and LEDs from @adafruit
There is some very questionable soldering going on here but it works.
This is a ch32v203 programmed in Rust, driving the ws2812 LEDs with the SPI bus.
This is the start of a longer term project to make a cheap driver and accessible software for adding custom light animations to projects.
This will be an open software + hardware project.
Getting close to a complete first draft. I am quite happy with the styling and how my snap fit speaker mounts came out.
Hardware complete! A few misadventures (and a second keyboard build) and all seems to be working 🎊
Next I need to glue down the power board so I can plug it in reliably and then figure out the software I want to use on it for writing and coding.
Um......
