Countries should fund open source OS, browser, mobile OS. It is in their best interest.

This particular coding leaderboard matches my own personal experience. Llama4 is hitting ~15% ; Claude Opus4 ~70% (I haven’t used others personally)

DYMAXION MAP OR GTFO

EDIT: details

It has less distortion of relative size of areas, most notably when compared to the Mercator projection; and less distortion of shapes of areas, notably when compared to the Gall–Peters projection. Other compromise projections attempt a similar trade-off.

More unusually, the Dymaxion map does not have any “right way up”. Fuller argued that in the universe there is no “up” and “down”, or “north” and “south”: only “in” and “out”.[9] Gravitational forces of the stars and planets created “in”, meaning “towards the gravitational center”, and “out”, meaning “away from the gravitational center”. He attributed the north-up-superior/south-down-inferior presentation of most other world maps to cultural bias.
