Hi!

Anthropic just gave me 6 months of Claude Max plan for my contributions to the Julia ecosystem (PrettyTables.jl + SatelliteToolbox.jl).

I am so glad for three reasons:

  1. It is a statement that the Julia language’s importance is getting higher every day.
  2. It confirms that printing tables are working with satellites is a good thing to do :slight_smile:
  3. I would never be able to afford Claude Max 20x here :sweat_smile:

This tool is really helping me a lot in those two packages! I will be able to improve them, fix bugs, and add new features in a way I would never have been able to. For example, the time to print the first table in PrettyTables.jl (text backend) was reduced by 50%. The reason was a type instability that I would probably never catch myself.

Let’s “Build something great”!

Now I can use Kaimon.jl for more than 50 min :smiley:

The larger context windows and more advanced models do result in higher quality generation, IMO.

By the way, did you know that KaimonSlate.jl is in General?

No! I missed that. I was trying to create a very nice “notebook” (I do not know how to call) to help us designing orbits here :slight_smile:

Yes notebook is a correct term.

We’ve been working on some extensions for Slate which already show stuff in space! Stay tuned for more. :slight_smile:
