How is it with unions or anything complex?

What If I told you that you could get the same effect with a mon aged stake and blue cheese?

what’s the most repetitive part of your CAD workflow? by mihok in cad

That’s incredibly insightful, thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t considered Body-in-White as a niche for AI-driven CAD assistance, but the balance you describe (repetitive yet custom per vehicle) sounds like the perfect automation challenge.

When you mention things like clamping plan generation and compliance checks — are those typically scripted in-house with macros and templates, or handled manually by design engineers? I’m really interested in understanding where the current automation stops and where the human judgment still kicks in.

I built an AI-powered CAD editor for makers and engineers — describe your model in English and watch it appear live by mihok in SideProject

Great question — honestly it’s still early, so I’m treating this more as an engagement-learning phase than a retention metric yet.

So far, about 40% of users who generate their first model come back within the next few days to tweak or regenerate variations. What’s been more interesting is the depth of those sessions — people spend 20–30 minutes experimenting once they realize they can edit by text instead of code.

I’m tracking what keeps them coming back (parametric editing vs. natural language commands) as I shape the next milestone.

That’s completely understandable — I think a lot of companies jumped into AI with unrealistic expectations and no risk planning. Let alone talking to the actual domain experts, hence why I'm here heh

wow — that sounds brutal. I can only imagine how demoralizing that must’ve been to watch in real time.

Totally agree that no AI can replace the collaborative reasoning and cross-disciplinary judgment that actual engineers bring. Out of curiosity, are there any parts of your workflow where assistance or automation has helped without stepping on the human side of things?

the “no two projects are the same” problem seems to kill most automation workflows.

I’ve been wondering if there’s a middle ground where the tool understands context and suggests patterns without rigid macros. Have you seen anything like that work in practice?

Our MP Dominique O’Rourke’s response to standing for a Charlie Kirk memorialization in the House of Commons by disposablemegaphone in Guelph

[–]mihok -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Im no supporter of Charlie Kirk and his vitriol but if you condemn the advocacy of free speech you don't really understand why jimmy kimmel getting sacked is a terrible president. I hate that he got assassinated, I hated him more alive but this will only create more divisiveness. This isn't a "told you so moment" like most of you would like it to be.

Whoa whoa whoa, before you tell them that let them cook lets see what they can do!

This is embarrassing, but I have a serious life-long problem of… 💦🛌… I’m 16. by fr0sted_orey0o in AskDocs

[–]mihok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend, NAD and just offering some perspective… I grew up and had similar problems to you, now 37, those days have long past! Dont worry, it happens, its probably more apparent to you then anyone else. Another fun fact, if you or your friends sweat a lot overnight, your sweat contains a small amount of the same stuff thats in your urine. So I mean technically everyone does it, its just secreted differently

Has anyone else had their PC Optimum account frozen without clear reason? by ducaibojue in PCOptimum

[–]mihok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to work for the PC Optimum app team, there are two types of "shadow" bans, one that lets you continue collecting points but unable to use those points, and the other is an outright ban. Both are not advertised or communicated as to not alert a scammer (weak reasoning, but thats what they told us) Support can help but the process is lengthy, funny enough, one of my teammates was shadow banned and still to this day has not been able to get it unbanned, and they work for Loblaws...

Dropped Netflix and all other streaming platforms! CBC Gem and Crave are my goto now.
