Hull

A new technical blog post explains how the dual polytope can be used to simplify convex hulls in computational geometry. The walkthrough breaks down the mathematics behind duality and shows how it leads to simpler, more robust hull-simplification algorithms. Readers in the programming and geometry community are engaging with the post, discussing the clarity of the explanation and its practical applications in graphics and optimization.

A yacht has sunk in the Pacific Ocean after colliding with a pod of whales. Details remain limited, but US news outlets including Fox affiliates are reporting the incident. Whale strikes are rare but can cause serious hull damage, and the story is drawing attention for its unusual cause.
