I found it relevant and actually just the information I was looking for. Having a highly recommended model behind the tool makes it worth further investigation.
My guess: In the reference frame where the particle is not moving, the sun would be either a) moving (with a perpendicular component) and be ever so slightly moving toward the particle or b) not moving but a third body would be, moving both the sun and the particle at different “strengths” (different mass and distance, different time dilation) thus the particle and the sun would appear to move closer to each other. That means in either case (sun in the middle or particle in the middle) the third body moving closer must make it look like the particle and sun are gravitationally pulling each other. If we then shift reference frame back to the third body being stationary and the particle and sun moving, we should see that. It would be really cool if we could simulate this to test it but I believe that would require solving the 3 body problem.
If the sun is on my left, doesn’t that mean time moves a bit slower on my left and the slowdown on the left means I’ve traveled less on my left side? Thus I turn left toward the sun.

Hello from Siem Reap, Cambodia! Awesome to see a fellow tech enthusiast from Cambodia.
I actually found Facebook’s translations pretty good (better than Google Translate for things longer than a sentence). From my understanding of Khmer, Khmer is a bit more verbose and context dependent, hence LLMs in Khmer would be a big help understand those nuances.
In the inverse case (LLMs generating khmer from English) I heard from locals that it sounds formal and “robotic” which I found quite interesting.
Awesome! This is a huge opportunity to help a lot of people (clients, subcontractors and builders). A lot of money and time is wasted by the current inefficiencies. We gave takeoff construction plan parsing a go in 2022-2023 but couldn’t get the AI part to work well enough (and still haven’t been able to even with the latest ViT/ CLIP models). There was a lot of interest though!
- You’re right, data is very hard to come by. I’m curious, how do you plan to get around this? Outsourcing human labeling? We found it to be a very difficult task.
- The subcontractors and local construction companies we talked to were overwhelming excited about the idea.
- It’s entire people’s jobs to get this done and done correctly. They sit on site holding the pdfs in their hands, manually counting and calculating. You bet a lot of mistakes occur. They would absolutely love to have a digital assistant for this.
- Some of them (especially managers and owners) are quite technical and are using software such as BlueBeam and other CAD software to make these calculations. It’s quite manual currently, but gives great insight into a better solution. This led us to having the user manually select the symbol they wanted counted (which ML struggled to get right). Just getting the part counts (and highlighting them in the pdf) was a huge help!
- Impressive you got square footage calculations correct! In our experience, there was way too much variation between architects (and multistep dimension labeling) which made it hard (even for humans) to get right. How has your model generalized OOD thus far?
- Are you planning to integrate voice? Many of the subcontractors we worked with are very low tech. They usually talk with their clients in person, on the phone, or maybe text. But they don’t use email or their smart phones for much.
I will be following your work! I have friends who would love to use this once it passes the human threshold.
