1.1 and forward is night and day, yeah.

i mean in comparison to other open cad applications.

based on what metric?

oh also the openaec foundation endorsement means literally nothing, they didn’t exist three months ago, their website is all vibecoded, and they linkjacked the name of an existing organisation with the same name incorporated in japan.

what solver does it use?

claude is a co-auther, so yeah.

reminder that the villain of cars 2 is famous for being “the first car to circumnavigate the globe without gps”.

also jesus was obviously a Model ✝️

i’m assuming the cars universe equivalent of grocery stores are gas stations.

*sigh* i guess it’s time for this again…

Kill James Bond Highlights: “The horrific implications of Cars 2 (part 5)” (the Popemobile bit)

Edit: There’s a real good comment by youtube user CleverCrumbish on one of the highlights:

So, the thing about Cars 2 right.

In Cars the plot of the film revolves very tightly around the idea that the way people live in the modern age (and particularly the way they transport themselves) is incentivised to progress and develop toward alienating those people from communities that live in and on the places they move through and that those changes are causing suffering as adherents to or prisoners of the old ways of doing things are left behind and underserved. Because this is a theme explained through the parallels between motor racing and the older rural automotive landscape, that is, because most of the metaphor the film is using concerns the automobile, it makes sense to simplify the framing for a children’s cartoon and make all the characters cars.

In Cars 2 every character is a car for absolutely no fucking reason whatsoever except that they were in the first movie and it would be weird to change it now.

maybe because it’s not true, at least if what the ex-head writer said on bsky is to be believed.

serious answer: they don’t know how to prompt. not that knowing how to prompt makes it look better, but it can at least make it look different. like how google used to give you more specific results if you formulated the query in a certain way.

the main author.

that’s the headless version

but pop os is just the cosmic flavour of ubuntu so isn’t kubuntu technically already kpop os?

the big one for me is tagged filesystems. they exist on other oses but beos embraced them fully, and haiku does the same.

“music” is no longer a directory, but a view of your filesystem that shows everything tagged “music”. you want everything from an artist, or a year, or a genre? just create that directory and they’re in there.

that just feels dangerous…

whoof.

conversational style interviews can go wrong quickly though; i recently interviewed for a position where the conversation turned into the interviewer explaining how he’d connected everything in his rv to home assistant. i’m not really into home automation but the communication bit was at least interesting until he dropped that he’d let claude do everything and he didn’t actually care how it worked.

yeah the swedish name for carbonated drinks is literally kolsyrad, “carbonic acid-ed”.

the more co2 we put in the atmosphere, the more carbonated the oceans will become

man, what i wouldn’t give for mind truck powers.
