Slightly better version of the tracking video I posted earlier.
The wobble isn’t tracking error, due the to the spring I was using as a worm gear being a bit rusty I had to loosen the gearing to avoid friction, which meant the wind was able to move it around more.
Subsequent versions have had nicer springs, which has pretty much eliminated the wobble altogether.

Peter Gostev shares his first impressions of GPT-6 Astra, from building a 3D London that moves through different historical eras to improving an app with around 150,000 lines of code. He discusses more natural feedback, greater reliability, and taking on complex tasks with less supervision.

Are tools like Devin actually ready to handle enterprise vulnerability remediation? When applied to mass-scale CVE hunting and dependency updates, autonomous agents often struggle to deliver trustable results for complex banking environments. Learn why deterministic remediation pathways—like those championed by the FINOS OSERA project—are critical for secure open-source software management. #CyberSecurity #OSERA #TechLeadership
