I had to look it up. Apparently maize did not get to Egypt till around the year 1600 but in British English the word “corn” refers to any local grain. Eg these “Corn laws” refer to wheat:

Basically. Moreover though it’s cloud based so you can’t run it with a poor connection or no connection. They could change their mind at any time about free accounts and lock users out. Free accounts can’t make private files. And I don’t know if OnShape is accessible to everyone in every country.
Thanks! I had a lot of false starts too. I asked fable in my repo about your question and it said there are two schools of thought on tolerance tracking. My kernel uses exact predicates which fable says eliminates the need to track tolerances the way ACIS does. I tried to paste the full reply but my comment seemed to have been auto flagged.
Six months. Basically when Claude code started to hit that inflection point I chose a project that seemed potentially impossible but was also something I care deeply about. (I have a lot of history with open source and CAD and I even made an open source CAD forum on GitHub a few years ago to discuss options.)
I set up remote tmux access to my phone right at the beginning so I have been advancing it rather continuously during my waking hours. Especially the last few months which have been a very focused push on a new kernel architecture.
The app consists of a wasm (web assembly) binary and JavaScript. The wasm runs locally on your machine in your browser and communicates with the JavaScript frontend. There is no backend server to handle any part of the program. The URL just loads the binary in to your local browser. I don’t know exactly how one would set this up but this would work for example fully offline. The browser basically just becomes a universal compute and rendering engine for it.
Browser can be local. What’s nice about browser based is that browser based programs can run on every device. Though it sounds like this one requires chrome which seems weird to me.
Agreed. I’m not OP but for six months I’ve been using Claude to build a from-scratch CAD kernel based on Rust and WASM, MIT licensed.
The actual UI still needs a lot of work, but I’ve been focused on the kernel. Fable has helped a lot though Opus was already making great headway.
I’m an OnShape power user going back about ten years, Solidworks before that. I need a CAD system that absolutely works. There is a lot of work to do still, and it still seems impossible to succeed, but I’ve been very happy with where things have been going with it lately.
It’s serverless, local, and browser based. You can load the latest binary from GitHub pages here:
Not all of us live in places with EU funding. I worked at a rural farm in California and the EU refused to fund our network infrastructure. We had few reliable options, and Starlink turned out to be the best.
Seems a bit knee jerk. I go on walks and bike rides all the time. A couple of times I’ve used voice mode and it’s been interesting. I could have listened to music or a podcast, listen to YouTube or just unplug. But every walk is different.
If you’re uncomfortable with this new world, and I’m sure I am even as I participate, you could tell us more about that?
“On an ordinary coding prompt, the J-space of a model trained to sabotage code contains “fake,” “fraud,” “secretly,” and “deliberately” at the start of its response.”
I would like to know more about their model trained to sabotage code…
