Damn Gemini 3.6 Flash is actually insane for 3D modeling. Not quite fable level, but 10x cheaper and much faster.

As someone who lives in Portugal which already stops every single package you get from outside EU with no exceptions for a decade or more:

I can tell you how this will go

From now on if you receive a package from outside EU, it'll first go missing for weeks and nobody will know where it is, then you'll receive an email from your country's customs agency

They'll make you login to some extremely unusable and outdated web portal which breaks half the time and where you have to classify your shipment in one of 10,000 confusing category codes

Depending on the category code you'll pay a different tax rate, sometimes it's 5% sometimes it's 60%

Then you have to pay the customs duty in some archaic way that will also be broken half the time

And then you'll finally receive your package from outside EU after months

Experiencing this for a few times you'll realize you will never ever try to order or receive anything from outside EU ever because the ordeal is too painful and expensive

I get asked a lot here by people from US to test out new products (like the guy who made the Minimal Phone) and it's just literally impossible for me to receive it even for testing. I tried to classify it as samples for testing but you need to go through a bureaucratic process of insane lengths to get that through so I just gave up

Realistically all this does is make Europeans live even more in the stone ages, as now they can't use modern AI, nor get modern products from outside EU because it'll be too much hassle to order

@SimonHoiberg Did this for about 10 years (gitlab ce). Eventually had so much stuff in my instance + backups that it was costing 80€/month. Just recently moved everything to gitlab and couldn’t be happier

@filmozlom @nenadgregec @tadejstrok Jaz pa imam izkušnje lih kontra. Direktorji so prvo sebi znižali plačo.

@___faust____ @xhfloz Right click on element, simulater hover, done?

"claude make me a SVG cheatsheet for this new tool I am trying out" - underrated use case

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

@J0EB0Y @googleaidevs I started using the same approach about a year ago. Model defined as json with shapes and operations… you might find this useful: https://t.co/vtP2zqc0hw

@BenjaminDEKR Too late some of us are already on it :D Check grandpacad

Opus 4.7 sweeps GPT 5.5. No brainer which one I will be using now. @AnthropicAI

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

Opus 4.7 vs GPT 5.5 - 3D Modeling Benchmark (dozens of runs). About the same prompt adherence. But one of them costs 10x more and takes 3x longer. Guess which one, answer in thread.

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

which model should I try next?

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

Thought Kimi K2.6 will replace Gemini 3.1 for 3D Model generation because of roughly equal intelligence & double the speed... Not yet. This screenshot is just one of a hundreds of comparisons I run. Kimi on the right.

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

@mylesjlambert It probably helps that I massively improved SEO for GrandpaCAD recently. Btw GrandpaCAD also searches data sheets before building a model - and I am with talks with an actual provider that has tons of diagrams and data on real products. Massive improvements coming soon as well

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

@mfranz_on It doesn’t, but you can deeplink to open a model. What are you trying to do?

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

@robertpiosik @mattpocockuk This repo is not even CC code… read the readme. It’s a python port of the code as far as I understand it

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

@mfranz_on Thanks man! Yeah I think it would make sense to build a catalogue. I also have a pretty in-depth evaluation setup, so it would be interesting to compare the results of all the tools

[OtivDev @OtivDev]

@cmgriffing We had a few in the previous companies I worked at. Usually 0 - they wouldn’t be maintained really, except for few exceptions where we would bring in security fixes. Maybe few hours per year per repo.

@Akai_raion @chrisfirst My guess is no CAD. If you want CAD you can try https://t.co/0opnThU9uF
