nicolamanzinion QGIS enacts moratorium on AI contributions

I had similar issue with 3d code in threejs. Models used to be quite bad over a year ago. got ok around year ago. the latest are quite good at it.

so i made a simple ab testing eval on fixed prompts: https://threejseval.com

There is a 7 degree o freedom robot arm that is really telling of the improvements in coordinates reasoning:

nicolamanzinion Claude Opus 5.5

Fair point. I have been thinking about that so far i have not seen patterns of people voting randomly. But i want people to vote... do you have a good idea on how to make voting more interesting do i don't have to do this?

nicolamanzinion I tested 10 model/harness combinations on the same Three.js task

I have been building something like this with human voting, elo and ranking on multiple scenes and many models.

nicolamanzinion Gemini 3.7 Flash

It is also doing pretty well in threejseval. Frontier there for the price. Much better than 3.6.

I have made this short article on AI SAT MINI and the 3D visualization I finished yesterday.

Here is the full interactive visualization you can play with https://nmanzini.github.io/ai-sat-mini/

It documents the Dawn-Dusk SSO mechanics, and how 100kW of orbital compute actually comes together and align to the sun and earth. I’ve integrated several videos from the visualization to show how the frame aligns in orbit for maximum power and heat dissipation.
