OpenSCAD-coding has improved significantly on all models. Now syntax is always right and they understand the concept of negative space.

Only problem is that they don't see connection between form and function. They may make teapot perfectly but don't understand that this form is supposed to contain liquid.


I asked @grok to make me [flagged]-Free HN. The stream is available in some handy json-format, but to our astonishment the [flagged]-stuff is hidden elsewhere available only to signed subscribers inside the browser.


I finally managed to read Player of Games. @grok explained the structure of the book and made list of personae worth remembering.

Playboy is forced to take part in war of the worlds. 50 pages of societé, parties and games are necessary to describe this character.


Oh how I wish we could know what Iain M. Banks thinks of the LLM revolution...


The openscad-nightly is lightning-fast, but makes occasional occlusion errors.

Assuming you make all the necessary adjustements in preferences.


I have solved the only problem OpenSCAD ever had and that is

  total lack of interactivity.

Now they say newest version of OpenSCAD has this functionality builtin. It took only a year.


This is important and should be a given. But the more interesting challenge is to highlight the object you’re editing (where your cursor is). It’s not clear even how to exactly visualize it (it could be inside subtract of union of subtract etc).


It moves or grows or whatever. What other indication you want?

I have not yet invented any other improvement.

I tried decimal points, but that was stupid, you just add "/100" if you want micrometer accuracy.


If you're subtracting cube A from cube B, and you position cube A such that there's no overlap between the cubes, you can't even see cube A. But you can imagine that when I place my cursor in an editor onto the code that generates cube A, that it could be rendered (say transparent), to indicate where it is. You can then more easily position it. Otherwise you have to explicitly render it yourself, or switch between difference and union operators.

Should have made "100 CONTINUE" card out of metal. It was on every freshman's program and there was even recycling bins for those.


Prof note on kayaking on the Pacific Coast: When there is foam, there will be freak wave burst occasionally. I definitively flew some meters in the air west of Haida Gwaii. https://youtu.be/VqYIM6JAinA?si=6_MI7HqGhAze9WVA


Gemini-CLI made me linux GCODE viewer totally on its own. It could view the result itself, so no feedback needed. I only provided test gcode-file.

wonder who it plagiarized here


Superstable "Picavet" with heavy video-8 camera, before digital cameras was even invented.

Note propellor and gears making slow 360 degree pans.
