PS.
Wish I could get my colleagues and you all to have an #LLM edit and rewrite your messages into English. That alone, in saving us from flame wars, would be worth their weight in gold.

Gladys West, Who Got Belated Credit for Helping Create GPS, Dies at 95 The mathematician toiled in obscurity at a naval research center in Virginia for 42 years.
