I'm not aware of any commercial CAD/CAM software running Linux that Nvidia would have a money interest in supporting. Which current CAD/CAM is running on Linux with graphics? The closest I'm aware of it FEA packages…
I'm curious where those number come from. Within the mechanical CAD world where Solidworks is used, I suspect the AutoCAD market share is very close to 0%. I haven't seen any company from small tool shops to major US…
Canada's policy is to keep the CAD cheaper than USD. No matter how fast USA goes, Bank of Canada can keep up.
Fusion doesn't have the needed tools to large machine designs with multiple components. They have only just added the ability to have assemblies where the parts are separately defined in their own files. Without that,…
We had a sales person try to explain how file handling in 3DExperience is done. They were presenting how magic everything is where the right version of the file is always present in Catia for modelling, Abaqus for FEA,…
I think the main complaint is that the percentage of the kits dedicated to specialty parts limits their usefulness for free-form play. Sets of the 80's had fewer block types, which forced Lego to be more creative in how…
Oh, I think I see what you're saying. If I'm understanding the thrust of your argument: I do think it would be good if people would be more humble in what they think they know and be more willing to engage with the…
Many "liberal governments" of the West certainly have some authoritarian elements to them. I don't see that as a conflict with advocating for free speech. If the government is running the propaganda, who is supposed to…
Call it what you will, but the ability of dissenting voices to be heard is the basis of free speech, and also integral to the pursuit of science. Blind trust in authorities is anti-science, and suppression of dissenting…
They don't directly approve drugs, but are involved in the testing pathway for some, and have been caught manipulating data to cause the approval. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2700754/…
That is unfortunate, but also, I'd rather choose the situation where truth about abuses of power by authorities can spread with the trade off that some wing nuts are also making up stories out of whole cloth, than the…
While official unemployment is low, that is only people actively looking for work. Labour force participation is way down from it's highs when it peaked in the late 90's. From a peak of around 67%, the US is currently…
I think we're starting to see the pile up that assuming people who worked assembly lines will just become robot tech isn't happening. For the entirety of humans, there have always been a place for low-skilled labour. We…
But the current state of a lot of public transport being money losing entities indicates their costs are out of control. Public services shouldn't just help themselves to endless taxpayer money rather than put their…
There could be some legacy places out there that are stuck in the 50's. Also, small businesses seem to be more likely to not have good programs for safety than large outfits. But I've been working in industrial settings…
Have you been to a current US factory? All the big-company ones I've been to have safety and environmental compliance departments focused on zero-injuries and zero-environmental incidents. Looking at what was done in…
In the US, housing and real estate have been driven up significantly to the benefit of the really rich. Increased rent, and increased house cost for existing structures just ends up lining the pockets of people rich…
We have OpenCASCADE, GCAL and Solvespace. The later two are missing quite a few features relative to OpenCASCADE. Then there is Parasolid, ACIS, and whatever they call the kernel in CATIA. There are a few around. But…
I think the use of CUDA is niche in the CAD world, probably constrained to a sub-set of FEA. We dropped 6 figures on an Abaqus system -> new hardware, new software within the last couple of years, and a lot of the…
That really seems like it is written by someone without any experience using 3D CAD, particularly of the "make physical stuff" variety, rather than the artistic movie and video game asset variety. English (or other…
I think the corner cases are likely hard, but the fundamental mathematical representations of the 3D geometry haven't changed. If the licensing cost of Parasolid and ASICs is reasonable, there isn't really a commercial…
In all the commercial mechanical CAD packages I've seen, the default libraries are pretty weak. Each organization needs to dig in to build out the standard parts libraries to cover the basics of fasteners, bearings,…
Natural gas wells go dry eventually, and new sites need to be developed. Slowing down the consumption is still a win on reducing the environment disruption of both land filling, and running new facilities to get to new…
I find it funny the old "I'm so feminist" prose thinking they're empowering women, while their actually demeaning the work the wife did. One comment from Toby Koosman directly lumps the wife in with servants. Published…
But not in the context of the grid. Most (all that I'm aware of) commercial grid-scale wind turbines have an output inverter. That allows the turbine to rotate at optimal speed for wind conditions, while still…
