Замучился искать 3D-модели с накаткой, поэтому заставил нейросеть поработать во FreeCAD.Понял, что можно не рисовать чертежи часами, а получить результат, если передать задачу Клоду.Моделировать по учебнику: эскиз, размеры, выдавливание и фаски. Это путь инженера-конструктора. В школе по физике тройка, а сопромат и расчет нагрузок — тёмный лес.Здесь и возникает решение, а если модель не рисовать, а написать.Раньше скачивал готовые STL-файлы, которые нельзя исправить.

Привет, Хабр! Почему инженеры хотят делать новое, а неделя уходит на сопровождение, алерты и переключение контекстов? Поводом для этой статьи стали два материала, которые неожиданно сошлись в одной точке: доклад Романа Елизарова про опыт разработчика и отчет Chainguard Engineering Reality Report 2026. Мы сопоставили взгляд сильного практика и международные данные, чтобы понять, куда на самом деле утекает внимание инженерных команд и почему DX сегодня — это уже не про удобство,... Read more ›

Мы привыкли считать, что цифровая зрелость - это скорость, стабильность и автономность. Чем меньше человек вмешивается в работу системы, тем лучше она устроена. Но что, если за этим технологическим прогрессом скрывается менее очевидный процесс - постепенное вытеснение человека из ядра мышления?В последние годы в корпоративных ИТ произошло изменение, которое на первый взгляд выглядит как естественное продолжение цифровой эволюции, но по сути затрагивает фундаментальные основания управления. Мы научились стро Read more ›

Часто полезные данные для обучения ИИ — побочный продукт от действий пользователя в игре, навигаторе или фитнес-приложении. Пользователь делает то, ради чего пришел: ловит виртуальных шушпанчиков, катается на велосипеде, объезжает пробки, вводит капчу — а где-то фоново формируется датасет. Это уже много обсуждали в комментариях к истории использования данных Pokémon Go для обучения пространственного ИИ (spatial AI). В этом материале я расскажу о кейсе Pokémon Go и о том, как...

JBL introduced two new headphones to its Live series lineup and both are fighting to live up to expectations. Don’t get me wrong, the JBL Live 780NC and 680NC are both a solid set of cans, but in a sea of noise-cancelling headphones, one of them definitely has more appeal. The biggest differences between these two headphones are the over-ear and on-ear cups, and surprisingly, their audio quality. Let’s get... Read more ›

The protagonist is a digital clone of a... Read more ›
