<p>That's the app they used:<p><i>The phyphox app recorded acceleration and angular velocity at a sampling rate of 100 Hz.</i><p>I wonder if they considered using the fact that a roller coaster trajectory is closed loop? That tends to help with calibration, but maybe the devices are nicely factory calibrated to begin with. They get close, but stop short of mentioning it:<p><i>The measurements were stopped after the attraction returned to its resting state. This provides reference points at the beginning and the end of the ride where the velocity is zero.</i><p>And this gets you real close to building visual inertial oximetry:<p><i>Smartphone video recordings were used to correlate specific ride manoeuvres with the recorded data for the roller coaster.</i></p>

<p>Because (maybe particularly) at 1e100 scale, having a super intelligent butler that does whatever everyone asks of it can easily get you to hundreds of thousands of daily PRs merged to the monorepo, but won't necessarily help coordinate efforts, and may actually cause certain projects to collapse under their own weight.</p>

<p>The point is: using Claude to design a website, do accounting, run a marketing campaign, is not a supply chain risk for the DoD, but taken literally and given the scale of the DoD "no DoD supplier can use Claude for anything" clearly is punitive.</p>
