Laser trackers (used for metrology) can also use spiral search to find retroreflectors. Although I believe newer models generate a flash of infrared and find them via bright spots in the resulting image from a camera. I imagine modern celestial navigation systems evolved similarly (minus the infrared flash, not very useful for stars).

Side question, but does anyone know why specifically 2^-32 is the target floor for attacker success (in footnote 3)? I found another mention of the 2^-32 target in [0], but I'm not even certain they're related.

I have used this for throwing together some models for 3D printing. I've found it very intuitive, though I'm not sure how ergonomic it would be for complex assemblies.

I really like the space-key based command access and default shortcuts for all the commands.

Aside, but it's pretty neat that the author has been semi-regularly posting on their blog for over 20 years.

In particular, the Order-of-Magnitude section might be interesting: https://nathanmcrae.name/order-of-magnitude/

I would also toss differential evolution in the ring as a widely applicable and easy to implement technique.

How do you go about positively demonstrating such a system is air-gapped?

I find a good way to link together ideas is to have them easily at hand i.e. memorized. Having a motivating problem is probably a better way to do this, but I've found that motivating problems which require concepts I would like to learn are not as readily available as I'd want.

I'm using Polar for this and am pretty happy with it, especially with the page marks for reading progress and with the highlighting/annotations.

I'm not too familiar with Zotero. Does it have similar features, or do you just use it for storage and read/annotate in your PDF viewer?
