@edbilodeau I was fortunate in seeing Bucky Fuller speak in the early 1970s, and remember this tragedy also. #geodesic

📐📚New study on #WassersteinDistance: Bonet et al. study #geodesic rays in #Wasserstein space and derive conditions for their existence. They show that #Busemann functions can be computed via #OT, with closed-form solutions for 1D and Gaussian cases. This enables efficient sliced distances for labeled datasets, closely matching classical metrics at lower cost and supporting dataset “flows” for #TransferLearning.

Notes from Thursday 8 January: https://notes.peteashton.com/2026/01/08/notes-from-thursday-january.html

After a foggy day the big storm hit and the garden looked like this at 10pm. (15sec, f7.1, ISO 200)

@narain Still trying to find 300 faces first. Playing with Hedron App @hedron , 53 regular octahedra join to make a shape with 300 faces.

Still trying to make something better...

Apparently the compound of ten tetrahedra has 300 edges (when counted as non-intersecting).

Also, some octahedral geodesic polyhedra and Goldberg polyhedra have 300 edges: u5O and c5C at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_geodesic_polyhedra_and_Goldberg_polyhedra#Octahedral

Nice, but still looking for 300 faces (or vertices)...

Mielenkiintoinen dokumentti kolmiomittauksesta, tai miten suomi kartoitettiin yli 80 vuoden ajan olleen näin maailman tarkin kolmiomittaus. Virhe 1300 km päässä vain ~2 metriä. Uskomatonta. Viimeiset kolmiomittaukset tehtiin vielä 1987. #geodesic #kolmiomittaus
