Proposal: GUI-first, text-based mechanical CAD inspired by software engineering

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-03 22:37:00

Most mechanical CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion, FreeCAD) still lock all modeling into opaque binary files. That makes it hard to track changes, collaborate with Git, or automate builds. I’ve written a proposal for an alternative paradigm: - GUI-first, like KiCad - visual modeling is the default - Text-based source files (YAML/JSON) — readable, diffable, Git-friendly - Separation of source and result - .step, .stl and previews are built artifacts - Parametric logic is explicit - slot width =

When is an AI system intelligent enough to be called artificial general intelligence (AGI)?

Meet the America Party, Elon Musk’s Harebrained Third-Party Scheme

Elon Musk soft-launched a third party over the weekend, and so far, the billionaire seems to be manifesting his “America Party” into existence. Hard-launching the party, which he first posted about through a poll on X, would involve filing official paperwork, such as Federal Election Commission forms, and signing up to petition in individual states. Musk has not done those things yet. What Musk has done, however, is open the door for what could be the most well-funded attempt ever at launching
