Solver geolocates a resort island using triangle geometry and CUDA

Mastodon poster mocks the method and questions authorship

2 Aug 19 8:38 AM · 62d ago · 2 posts · 1 source · development 2 of 4

A Mastodon account reacts sarcastically to the approach, framing it as overkill compared to Google Lens and casting doubt on whether the writeup is genuinely human-authored work.

“🤦‍♂️ So someone decided to play "Where's Waldo?" with an island using geometry and GPU programming. Because clearly, using Google Lens is just too mainstream for the cool kids with their ✨CUDA skills✨. And remember, this is absolutely, positively, 100% human work!”
