The article critically analyzes Geometric Algebra (GA), suggesting it has a flawed ideology and culture that hinders its progress. GA is criticized for overemphasizing the geometric product, which is seen as not very fundamental or intuitive, and for conflating vectors with operators on vectors. The author argues that while GA addresses some practical problems in mathematics and physics, it fails to provide a compelling theory due to issues like awkward associativity of its operations, unnecessary complexity from using mixed-grade multivectors, and the lack of clear geometric interpretation for the geometric product. The critique also points out that GA's reputation among mathematicians is questionable due to an influx of low-quality papers by non-experts.

• Overemphasis on the geometric product
• Confusion between vectors and operators

Quality:
The article presents a detailed critique of GA, supported by examples and references to existing literature.

The article discusses the process of managing two large language models (Qwen3-Next-80B-Instruct-FP8 and Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507) on a single DGX Spark server, using vLLM for GPU memory management. The author details their experience in optimizing model configurations to ensure coresidency without causing out-of-memory errors or performance issues.

• The author uses Hermes as an agent stack and manages the fleet through Clawrium.
• Initially, a single model setup was used but later scaled to manage multiple agents on different hosts.
• vLLM is employed for managing GPU resources efficiently with features like PagedAttention and gpu_memory_utilization.
• The article highlights the importance of understanding vLLM's behavior regarding memory utilization and CUDA framework overhead.
• The author discusses the challenges in coresidency, including out-of-memory errors and performance issues, and provides insights on how to optimize configurations.
