Proof that human data >>> synthetic data, and private data >>> public data. The gains are likely mostly from human expert data that's never been seen before

The Navier-Stokes Equations 💦

In 1845, Sir George Stokes had derived the equation of motion of a viscous flow by adding Newtonian viscous terms, thereby the NSEs had been brought to their final form which has been used to generate numerical solutions for fluid flow ever since.
