Petr Novikov @petrnovikov.com · 21/08/2026Since the model is defined by pure Python Claude handles it very well. This is a test I did, so not a prod-level mode. But this took one sentence prompt + a photo of a UR5 arm. 110
Petr Novikov @petrnovikov.com · 20/08/2026It’s still somewhat early, but if you approach it carefully and create a thoughtful setup it works very well. I use build123d and it’s MCP with Claude. build123d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build123d.readthedocs.ioAbout — build123d 0.11.2.dev239+g44a8d7c12 documentation 120
Petr Novikov @petrnovikov.com · 20/08/2026AI literally CAD'ed me a material good while I was reading all the angry replies to this post. AI capabilities with computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing are improving really fast and it's objectively useful for material goods. 180

Petr Novikov @petrnovikov.com · 06/04/2026Likely, but also time is not on his (our) side. Supply shocks are about to start manifesting in developed countries with no eta on strait opening. It's not like taco has significant effect on calming the markets anymore like it did on week 1. 010

Reposted by Petr NovikovNicole Bedera @nbedera.bsky.social · 26/01/2026The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change. 262206388519
Petr Novikov @petrnovikov.com · 25/01/2026It's not that the tactic is ineffective (it has historically worked), rather it's premature. They're trying to speedrun fascist authoritarian takeover in ~20 months, and are jumping to the next stage before the previous one is fully in place. Time crunch plus their incompetence are our blessing. 010

Petr Novikov @petrnovikov.com · 25/09/2025I hope you’re right. But the toady on the right in this photo used to carry suitcases for a mayor for as long as it took him to get to real power. Vance imo is very Putin-like, in that he believes in nothing but acquiring power by any means necessary. Today it’s being a toady, tomorrow..? 100
