Got some analysis and estimates from an aerodynamics expert :)

Managed to get the vehicle constraint for wheeled vehicles from Jolt Physics integrated. Deploying and retracting gear still needs to be implemented. The ground is simulated with a mesh and the vehicle body is a compound consisting of several convex hulls.

https://connascence.io/ Discovered that there is now a website about the connascence software metric popularized by Jim Weirich. Connascence is a big step towards a theory of software engineering.

Managed to reach 7 fps on a decent window resolution after some performance tuning :-)

Colleague tipped me off that now you can run distilled LLMs on your desktop CPU!

Facebook apparently filtering Distrowatch links and discussions about Linux.
Working on textures for the space craft model
Adding heatshields to the fins.
Haven't visited this one in particular, but I thought it looked interesting from above.

Half Life 2 free till tomorrow
Getalby now wants 210000 sats/year for their custodial wallet. Wouldn't mind them taking a transaction fee but this is too expensive for the small amount I am using it for.

Was reading rigid body dynamics papers and it turns out that there is a really good open source software for this: https://projectchrono.org/
