The Queens Museum has a great 9,300 sq. ft. NYC model, scale 1" = 100 ft. They even have little planes (on wires) landing and taking off from LaGuardia

Speaking of city models: the Discovery Museum in Newcastle, England has a 30x10 ft. wall-mounted model of the city ca. 1929, showing how commerce flowed down and along the Tyne river

First step in reasoning: “load the problem into the GPU.” Optics diagrams by me, I traced over Casey’s sketches (and learned how a Newtonian telescope works)

Tried Grok DeepSearch on a question about solar irradiance, its answer ran to ***17,512*** words 1) TLDR 2) I trust the answer less than if it just gave me a conclusion, because there has to be something wrong in the chain of reasoning 3) So other LLMs are just hiding all this?
