Dusting this account off.

I'm Sim. Product design engineer, SOLIDWORKS since 2018. I design things factories can actually make, 3d print prototypes and write my own tools when the software gets in the way.

Also teaching English in Thailand, skating, and learning Thai the hard way.

I'll be posting the work in progress here: CAD, prints, code, AI tools, and the ups and downs of building my own businesses.

@johnrush Wow, looks awsome. How do you get from cad model to claude? Can you just hand it an assembly step file + prompt?

[Sim @SimMakesStuff]

Black bar in. Mirror finish out.

Grinding is how you get a tight diameter you can trust. 30.00 on the caliper.

Use it only as and when function demands.

Never gets old.

@dttania1ojx Move the 1 to the left side of the 3 and you have 78

[Sim @SimMakesStuff]

@farman4x 98 I think it is the bottom triangle equals the sum of the top 2 x the amount of triangles.

3 + 3 = 6, 6 x 3 = 18
4 + 4 = 8, 8 x 4 = 32
7 + 7 = 14, 14 x 7 = 98

My wife and I caught Chikungunya a couple of years ago in Thailand, while everyone was talking about Covid, was not fun at all. Similar to dengue fever. Comes on very suddenly, 1 minute you are fine, 15 minutes later I had extreme fatigue and really bad joint pain, felt like we had aged 30 years.

Try not to cause panic though please, chikungunya did not come out of a lab from some gain-of-function research. It is one of 1000's of mosquito spread blood viruses that circulate around these parts all the time, especially in rainy season.

Buy some repellent spray / cream and stay inside, you should be fine.

🤯 Mind blown! 🤯

Just tried a @GeminiApp deep research #ai audio overview.

Thought I was listening to a podcast, amazing!

@levelsio So accurate, I live in Nonthaburi, next to Bangkok, haven't been able to see Bangkok for a couple weeks now..

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US Congressman Nick Begich to introduce Strategic Bitcoin Reserve legislation in the House today to buy 1 million BTC.

The bill already has six co-sponsors 👀

[Sim @SimMakesStuff]

Edited M2 Global Liquidity Index on @tradingview to have the 10 week gap that shows the correlation @RaoulGMI talks about and hopefully good times are not too far away...

Shoutout to @Mik3Christ3ns3n for the original tradingview indicator.

Just a few minutes ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime.

It is estimated that the U.S. government owns about 200,000 bitcoin; however, there has never been a complete audit. The E.O. directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings.

The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold.”

Premature sales of bitcoin have already cost U.S. taxpayers over $17 billion in lost value. Now the federal government will have a strategy to maximize the value of its holdings.

The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.

IN ADDITION, the Executive Order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.

The government will not acquire additional assets for the Stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.

The purpose of the Stockpile is responsible stewardship of the government’s digital assets under the Treasury Department.

PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT

President Trump promised to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. Those promises have been kept.

This Executive Order underscores President Trump’s commitment to making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”

I want to thank the President for his leadership and vision in supporting this cutting-edge technology and for his rapid execution in supporting the digital asset industry. His administration is truly moving at “tech speed.”

I also want to thank the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets — especially Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — for their help and support in getting this done. Finally Bo Hines played a critical role as Executive Director of our Working Group.

What a time to be alive

[Sim @SimMakesStuff]

A strategic 'Crypto' reserve?

Didnt see that coming.

Thought it was only going to be Bitcoin, if any.

Claude 3.7 + Cursor agent mode, is absolutely bananas...

I have been wanting to build a debt cycle tracker (based on Dalio's book Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises) for years. Between Cursor and Claude 3.7 (thinking) got the prototype built in 2 prompts, with the nextJs dashboard working on the first attempt.

Absolutely mind-blowing!

Just found out about @HyperliquidX

It's a decentralized perpetual futures exchange that runs on it's own high-performance L1 blockchain.

Just like Dydx only with 10x the liquidity.

Really can't think of a reason to not to build my bot to trade on there.

Really impressive!
