the AI tools are able to generate parts and assemble them to an assembly within a few minutes, via python scripting inside FreeCad.
The only problem: the AI most of the time doesn't know what it's building (this image is an NC plotter, designed by DeepSeek, the parts have meaningful names though)

U.S. Air Force C-17s Might Soon Fly with Drag-Reducing Microvanes, Saving $14 Million in Fuel Costs Annually
Six aircraft have been modified for a six-month evaluation before the microvanes are installed.

Why Ukraine’s all-drone, multi-domain attack could be a ‘seminal’ moment in warfare
A December operation exclusively featured weaponized uncrewed ground vehicles and FPV attack drones and did not feature any crewed platforms or boots on the ground, according to a speaker at the International Armoured Vehicle conference.

Seems like a cool achievement. Wouldn't it be great to have more of these very-high-resolution cameras around? And maybe open the webcam data for the public to watch out the sky?
When you turn it on and it works spectacularly!
The Rubin team has successfully completed the first on-sky engineering tests using the 144-Mpx engineering camera. Up next: installing the largest digital camera in the world, LSST Camera! 🔭🧪

I just noticed that the bsky interface language has some of the buttons in English (i seem to use Turkish generally). E.g. there's FOLLOW-BACK button, instead of "Geri Takip".. is it me (or is it shadows that are dancing on the wall?)

Fun and adventure coming up.
This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free! Most people write code to solve them, but you can solve them however you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟

Q: How can I transfer a PDF from an IPad to a PC? The iPad recognizes a USB drive, but it doesn't copy (write) the PDF on the drive. Web search says the drive format may be the problem. I don't want to use any web service. I may set up a temporary file server though, if there's not an easier way.

I'm pretty support the idea that parallel processing toolbox should be in the basic licensing, at least for single machine use cases.
Last week I published a post about 20 years of supercomputing in MATLAB blogs.mathworks.com/matlab/2024/...
It got a little lost in all the #SC24 chat so talking about it again :) #HPC

I asked AI to generate a presentation for a Servo Controlled Catapult, out of curiosity. The result has impressive (though not accurate) visuals and explanations.

For a few weeks now, the Linkedin feed is mainly focused on several (2-3l) weeks old posts and is showing much less of relevant or up to date posts. Is it just me, or are they trying new experiences?
