The jump from "we can compute this" to "we computed it for the
entire planet" is what makes this impressive. A lot of projects
stop at the proof of concept. Running hundreds of AMD Turin cores
for two days straight to actually finish the job is a different
kind of commitment. Curious about the edge cases, how do you handle atmospheric
refraction at those distances? At 530km the curvature of the
earth and atmospheric bending would meaningfully affect whether
a line of sight is actually visible to a human observer versus
just geometrically unobstructed.
