How far can your LLM go with OpenSCAD?

In fact, descriptor languages for everything...

It's only a matter of time before parametric approaches (think LaTex for CAD, ie: via a descriptor language) enable LLMs to start 3D modeling.

I would say optical computing will be practical well before QC is.

Time will tell.

The math might be beautiful, but I'm very skeptical - practical - quantum computers will ever deliver their promise.

Then soon there will be a port for the N64!

The killer app for the Data Discman would have been early (early 90s) use as a storage medium for digital cameras.

Huge lost opportunity for Sony.

The EU must leave NATO and start its own Military Alliance - without the US.

This time the alliance mandate, instead of fighting Communism, should be enforcing ICC rulings.

Awesome! Anyone for a port to the MSX?

A web version would also be cool.

Prototype in Matlab, production in C.

Very good!

But I expected a humorous touch in stating that fusion is still 10 years away…

But, for example, isn't Cannonball (SEGA Outrun source port) open source?

More than an overview, a step by step tutorial on this would be awesome!

This day will arrive.

And it will be great for retro game preservation.

Having more integrated tools and tutorials on this would be awesome.

They also have a Philips VG8020 MSX on display.

I want to believe: let's see that software stack working effectively.
