The main contribution of the Wright brothers is the controls used on aviation (pitch, yaw and roll).
About being the first, Santos-Dumont is recognized by Fédération Aéronautique Internationale as the first flight with witnesses.
Splitting hairs here, the english word "airplane" is less specific than the french word "avion". All avion are airplanes, but to be an avion the machine needs to be able to take off and land by its own means, and that's the point where the first flight of the Wright brothers are missing. And as they kept secrecy on what they were doing, we don't know exactly when they introduced each innovation on their machines.
But to me, that doesn't matter much actually. Heavier-than-air flights are more like a collective effort IMHO with the Wright brothers, Santos-Dumont and many others contributing to create the aviation.
I'm using (Gemini 3.1 pro in) Gemini cli to build a complex (personal) project to explore how to use these tools. My impression is that the code produced by LLMs is disposable/throwaway.
We need to babysit the model and be very hands on to get good results.
Let me rewrite your question, and correct me if I'm misrepresenting it:
"Why should we spend resources on X instead of Y?"
Well, for this kind of question, I would prefer to choose a "high value" X and an "important" Y.
Space exploration, and science as a whole, is extremely cheap and good for humanity.
Let's talk about other expensive "X" first:
Unnecessary war efforts.
ICE (if we are taking about US)
Saving banks when they screw up on their bets.
Incentives to coal and gas when solar is already more viable
...
Maybe you started to think about it because that's an amazing subject, and it is. That alone should be reason enough for us to want to do it. But it is not the only reason. Space exploration already gave us a lot of tech we rely on today. And still, is a very difficult field that will require more tech advancements, that will benefit us in the future.
Valve is solving the chicken-and-egg problem. For a developer, it is costly to maintain a separate build for Linux without the consumer base to justify the effort. And without games, most people will not leave windows.
Proton offers Valve independence from windows without effort and cost for the developers. And without penalties for the gamers as well.
How about Anubis? Is It still working?

For rust the cross compilation may be useful, if you need a windows binary but can write te program in Linux.
Feels like trolling.
That perspective is very combative... It doesn't need to be.
"No, there is a photo... Definitely is the guy and his child. F*ck."
That's very concerning
After Ray-tracing and Path-Tracing, they presented uso with their newest technology: Slop-tracing.
Corporative social media pushed me out, ActivityPub seems a great solution to those problems.
Then Reddit and Communism
As the values are already settled, I take both boxes.

I would love to buy the Frame, but I really hope the controllers will be available soon.
I would like it even more to see that working on a Xiaomi or Samsung
It would be nice to have more granularity on the filter. Also about the filter, is it regex?
