‘It’s the perfect place’: London Underground hosts tests for ‘quantum compass’ that could replace GPS in c/technology@lemmy.world

I don't think you'll ever see an INS going months without needing a correction. Imperfect gravitational compensation applies directly to the specific force measurements and those errors are then accumulated twice.

Even a perfect sensor will accumulate errors in the nav solution over time because there's no such thing as a perfect gravity model. No free-running INS will ever replace GPS long term. This shit is so frustrating to see in the press.

I've been running Garuda for maybe 4 months primarily for gaming on a desktop and it has been fantastic. Basically everything runs beautifully, even stuff only advertised as being for Windows.

We already knew how to farm before John Deere; should we have focused away from agricultural industrialization in order to preserve jobs?

I am insanely interested but the apple ecosystem sucks. I use a MacBook for work because it's that or Windows, but good lord do i hate the closed source walled garden. Linux at home ftw.
