You cant buy an iPhone without a director approval. And it's like 3 gen behind as well. So no, they don't use iPhones.

Figured it was experimental; no A&P who cared about his future would install a 3D printed part on a certified aircraft.

A 3d printed Inconel part would be fine. 3d printed plastic is something else entirely...

I'm stuck on "setting up this account" like most people. What a botched launch. This kind of bugginess and unreliability has become so much more frequent since big tech started tightening the screws with mass layoffs.

Three.js is not CAD. It is an API for drawing 3D graphics in a browser. 3D graphics, in general, is not CAD. Blender is not CAD. You cannot do CAD operations in blender.

I'm not being nit picky here. I think there are issues beyond terminology that you may not be familiar with, as it is clearly not your field. That's ok.

The "design" in computer aided design is engineering design. This is not the same definition of "design" used in, say, graphic design. Something is not called CAD because it helps you create an image that looks like a product on a computer. It is CAD because it creates engineering design files (blueprints) that can be used for the physical manufacture of a device. This places very tight and important constraints on the methods used, and capabilities supported.

Blender is a sculpting program. Its job is to create geometry that can be fed into a rendering program to make pretty pictures. Parasolid is a CAD geometry kernel at the core of many CAD programs, which has the job of producing manufacturable blueprints. The operations supported map to physical manufacturing steps - milling, lathe, and drill operations. The modeling steps use constraints in order to make sure, e.g., that screw holes line up. Blender doesn't support any of that.

To an engineer, saying that an LLM gave you a blender script for a CAD operation is causing all sorts of alarm klaxons to go off.

Next they'll be doing PCB CAD in Photoshop...

Why do you care, if a human reviewed and edited it, someone filtered it to make sure it’s correct. It’s validated to be correct, that is the main point.
ummonk · a month ago
Clearly someone didn't make sure everything is correct, since they allowed a self-contradictory statement (whether generated by AI or by human) into the text...

Every time I read things like this, it makes me think that AI was trained off of me. Using semicolons, utilizing classic writing patterns, and common use of compare and contrast are all examples of how they teach to write essays in high school and college. They're also all examples of how I think and have learned to communicate.

I'm not sure what to make of that either.

But you didn't write that "Using semicolons, utilizing classic writing patterns, and common use of compare and contrast are not just examples of how they teach to write essays in high school and college; they're also all examples of how I think and have learned to communicate."

Not disagreeing with you, but out of interest, how could you be convinced otherwise?

   The book content itself is deliberately free of AI-generated prose. Drafts may start anywhere, but final text should be reviewed, edited, and owned by a human contributor.
There is more specificity around AI use in the project README. There may have been LLMs used during drafting, which has led to the "hallmarks" sticking around that some commenters are pointing out.

ummonk · a month ago
That statement is honestly self-contradictory. If a draft was AI-generated and then reviewed, edited, and owned by a human contributor, then the parts which survived reviewing and editing verbatim were still AI-generated...
