Moving to exact predicates on top of floating point numbers would be a big speed boost. CGAL does this.

Hi Mihai! This is impressive work! Are you aware of any other computational maths problems where a sufficiently motivated amateur could make an improvement on the state of the art?

Related to the Coral accelerator, is it usable as a general accelerator outside AI workflows? When I looked into it, there was no general SDK on using the Coral, only an "ingest ML model" compiler.

Not surprising. It always seemed likely to me that there is model bias if you train your models on model generated data, like a feedback loop (second order effects?). Similar to how applying a linear system over and over stretches the input

Not a direct answer, but last year I got a 13" eink second screen and it's been the best investment I made for my eye health since getting glasses. The difference was noticeable from the start, at the end of a day without the eink

What do you mean by crop in frequency domain? Low pass filtering i.e. removing higher frequency components?

Getting an eink secondary monitor for my workstation. I use to get pretty bad eye strain that lasted for days from LCD screens. It got so bad I forgot how it feels to wake up without my eyes hurting. Now it's all gone. The product offe

Fair point. At the same time the exact computation paradigm is proof that problems like these can be solved in a rigorous way if you start with the right foundation. By the way thanks for writing the article, it was a refreshing read.

One geometric model that actually handles numerical approximations is called exact geometric computation. It's pretty interesting and starts by explicitly tracking arithmetic errors in the operations you do. At its core it's a mix

At https://www.3dhubs.com we're using Rust to build the geometry processing side of our platform, which is the most computationally intensive custom part. Previously it was in C++ and we're a lot happier after migratin

It might also be specific to the niche you're hiring for. What's your field of operation? What technologies / technical disciplines are you looking for?

Pretty cool! How about turning this into a service where other people can lease their own GPU hardware? Either through your website or by offering it as a sort of turnkey solution.
