Yet another update. Current survivor count: 71,654 rows after the basic pipeline vetoes and now also SuperCOSMOS and PTF post-processing stages. Detailed breakdown here...

Update: first release is out, see: https://github.com/jannefi/poss1-plate-slice/blob/main/results/s0-642-20260814/README.md This run didn't went smoothly, but because the results are valid, I decided to publish this release fully (except, of...

New from BV: Dear everyone, Some new and very exciting news from the VASCO team! First, our machine-learning paper has been accepted for publication following peer review and is now in press. In this paper, we used machine learning to address...

Ah yes, Edge seems to log me out every time I close it (unlike FF that persists). I must remember to login on Edge! It's an i7 quad-core, 16G. I've used Sitrec a lot on this laptop in the past, even doing dev work, and it's ually ok. I'll have a...

Historically, Sitrec was just updated whenever I added a bit of new code or fixed a bug. I'd just press some keys, and literally 60 seconds later it would be up and running on metabunk.org Over time, with the increased complexity, there was a...

I turned on 3D building and removed some of the trees. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/EdlPlane%20-%20trees%20prened/20260910_151541_2a8a8650b3ab0f0b640452272685897c.js This gives what old-school video-gamers will recognize as...

A "pivot point" feature certainly makes the illusion stronger, as in my previous post, where a hilltop antenna is the "pivot". But I have also seen a few "hanging planes" videos just in the sky with no obvious pivot feature. The one thing they...

To me it's when you use the bridge as the fixed point the plane just doesn't seem to go over the bridge, its because the pivot point is there that I think the illusion would be strong in person.

You need to be logged into Metabunk on the browser you are using for 3D buildings to work. What's the spec on your laptop? Have you tried Settings/Performance Preset/Fast?

I found a curly cloud! And whatever these are?

You exhibit a distressing lack of skepticism. Are you sure this is the right forum for you?

But we don't HAVE any "real flying objects" that are UFOs. Sociology, one of the "soft sciences", still has facts and figures to work with, but there have been no solid objects to study except the mundane. That means, of course, that they...

I opened the Sitch link you gave, and it looks just like mine, no trees or buildings. I tried to find these options and failed. Asked the AI Assistant to explain to me where these building and tree options were, but it didn't know either...
