Oh wow the concept of Vitamins, which I learned about from the Reprap Project, must have come from that 1980 NASA study!

I had to look it up. Apparently maize did not get to Egypt till around the year 1600 but in British English the word “corn” refers to any local grain. Eg these “Corn laws” refer to wheat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Laws

Plenty of people are doing novel hard work with AI in open source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48867961

Basically. Moreover though it’s cloud based so you can’t run it with a poor connection or no connection. They could change their mind at any time about free accounts and lock users out. Free accounts can’t make private files. And I don’t know if OnShape is accessible to everyone in every country.

Thanks! I had a lot of false starts too. I asked fable in my repo about your question and it said there are two schools of thought on tolerance tracking. My kernel uses exact predicates which fable says eliminates the need to track tolerances the way ACIS does. I tried to paste the full reply but my comment seemed to have been auto flagged.

Aww thank you so much! It has felt really good to work on as I have started to see something real come together.

Six months. Basically when Claude code started to hit that inflection point I chose a project that seemed potentially impossible but was also something I care deeply about. (I have a lot of history with open source and CAD and I even made an open source CAD forum on GitHub a few years ago to discuss options.)

I set up remote tmux access to my phone right at the beginning so I have been advancing it rather continuously during my waking hours. Especially the last few months which have been a very focused push on a new kernel architecture.

The app consists of a wasm (web assembly) binary and JavaScript. The wasm runs locally on your machine in your browser and communicates with the JavaScript frontend. There is no backend server to handle any part of the program. The URL just loads the binary in to your local browser. I don’t know exactly how one would set this up but this would work for example fully offline. The browser basically just becomes a universal compute and rendering engine for it.

Browser can be local. What’s nice about browser based is that browser based programs can run on every device. Though it sounds like this one requires chrome which seems weird to me.

Agreed. I’m not OP but for six months I’ve been using Claude to build a from-scratch CAD kernel based on Rust and WASM, MIT licensed.

The actual UI still needs a lot of work, but I’ve been focused on the kernel. Fable has helped a lot though Opus was already making great headway.

I’m an OnShape power user going back about ten years, Solidworks before that. I need a CAD system that absolutely works. There is a lot of work to do still, and it still seems impossible to succeed, but I’ve been very happy with where things have been going with it lately.

It’s serverless, local, and browser based. You can load the latest binary from GitHub pages here:

Not all of us live in places with EU funding. I worked at a rural farm in California and the EU refused to fund our network infrastructure. We had few reliable options, and Starlink turned out to be the best.

I hear you, though I will point out that OP said “projects”. Could be a house remodel, ebike build, any manner of project.

Seems a bit knee jerk. I go on walks and bike rides all the time. A couple of times I’ve used voice mode and it’s been interesting. I could have listened to music or a podcast, listen to YouTube or just unplug. But every walk is different.

If you’re uncomfortable with this new world, and I’m sure I am even as I participate, you could tell us more about that?

thank you!

“On an ordinary coding prompt, the J-space of a model trained to sabotage code contains “fake,” “fraud,” “secretly,” and “deliberately” at the start of its response.”

I would like to know more about their model trained to sabotage code…

I think there is some middle category between “required for survival” and “luxury”.

Leaving off the best part of that:

“… She did it in 43 days, shattering the previous women’s record, 86 days, 10 hours and five minutes, held by Lia Ditton — but also broke through the men’s record of 52 days.”

Specifically, she set off to beat the women’s record but actually beat both the women’s and men’s record.

My oscilloscope does both!

Ah you’re right I was keying off of “Linux friendly” and missed the AR part.

Do they also show bikes? I use the mirror not just to monitor cars but see where my friends are. If a friend breaks down and is on the side of the road I want to see without having to fully turn my head around.

Handlebar mirrors won’t give you as much field of view and you can’t steer them with your head.

To anyone who wants to ride more safely I cannot recommend enough this simple $20 mirror which I find so valuable that I buy extra and hand them out to friends and strangers to help keep them safer. A mirror mounted on your glasses or a similar mirror affixed to your helmet (close to your eyes and mounted on your head) allows for a large field of view that you can easily steer to see behind you.

I ride on the streets of Oakland every single day and situational awareness is critical. The single biggest thing you can do for safety is watch each car as it approaches behind you for its speed and trajectory. Anyone approaching too close or too fast is a bad sign and with a mirror you can more easily avoid them.

These are also available on Amazon and I am not in any way affiliated I just think they’re good life saving technology:

Signs really do seem to suggest it will be announced soon. There’s records of multiple large shipments of Virtual Reality headsets arriving at Valve, and they say it’s coming out this summer.

Furry fetish you say? Stop you say? Hmm…

Steam frame is out soon and should be the ultimate Linux friendly headset. It runs real Linux and Valve is big on “it’s your computer to use as you please”.

Oh absolutely wait like two weeks and get on the list for a Steam Frame. It actually runs arch Linux and Steam says “it’s your computer, you can do what you want with it” unlike Meta and the Quest. I’m excited to do Kicad in mine.

They don’t make noise canceling headphones for your lungs yet.

Well, they literally do, they’re just absurd:

It’s so weird to use an AI generated image for this article when there are so many images of Atlas out there.

There’s some adaptations to disease etc but basically my understanding is that this is true.
