Holy slop.

Not only is the README.md largely written by a LLM (:emoji: :emoji:), the repo does not contain a single folder but 25 files (.py, .csproj, .png ...) , many of them 0 bytes.

Oh! Makes sense. I came in to complain over them using SRTM instead of, say, the much better performing, reprocessing/successor NASADEM. If 95% of publications out there use ol’ S, the stochastic parrot is bound to regurgitate the same.

At least they’re not using ASTER shudders

It is as cool as the fact that it is relevant is sad and scary.
