@euronews @thorborg er du ikke glad?

The EU wants to let you launch a company in 48 hours for under €100. 🚀 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled EU Inc — a single set of corporate rules across the bloc to cut red tape, boost innovation, and help businesses scale across borders. #EUXL

@cars_pixels I like it 👍

LEAKED! Here's a first look at the all-new and fully-electric BMW i3 sedan. Thoughts?

@sciencegirl The difference between AI and AGI.

@emm0sh Autodesk Inventor is in the top 3 best CAD software. I don’t think you know what you talk about.

🚨 BREAKING: Max Verstappen will compete in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring from 14–17 May 2026. As preparation, he will also race in NLS2 on 21 March, driving the Mercedes-AMG GT3 with car number #3. If the F1 races in Bahrain and Jeddah are cancelled, Max could potentially enter additional Nürburgring races as well.

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Awesome. Thanks

After seeing the trailer, I had been curious about Patrick Hughes’ “War Machine.” Tonight I was actually planning to watch “Xtro,” since I just bought the Blu-ray, but the other film started streaming today, so I decided to watch this one first. Wow, it was quite entertaining. It’s basically “Predator” x “Metal Gear”! A geek-pleasing film that really evokes the feel of 80s–90s sci-fi action movies. If you like this kind of thing, you should have a great time with it. Alan Ritchson from “Reacher” (“Jack Reacher: The Outlaw”) brings great flavor to the role. Dennis Quaid also appears in it.

@yacineMTB @istvan_csanady My hot take is you don’t work with CAD daily. 🙂

@istvan_csanady My hot take is that cad is going to be done on a piece of paper and given to an AI to generate the shape... But you still need to spec it out on paper

There are at least five people like him every year: raising money and building something because they believe “CAD sucks because it’s not [AI/crypto/multicore/current thing].” I’m starting to see a pattern in these companies: • The founding team knows nothing about the technical foundations of manufacturing software or computational geometry. • The team has very little understanding of the real-world problems manufacturing companies actually face. • The founders are convinced that every problem with CAD stems from a lack of "the current thing," and that by adding it, they will solve CAD once and for all. • They believe that “CAD doesn’t have the current thing” is a unique strategic insight upon which you can build a company. I understand why this happens. It’s easy to look at CAD and say, “This is very old-school; if it were modern, it would be better.” The problem is that "being old-school" isn't a problem manufacturing companies actually have. Real problems in manufacturing stem from: • Fragmented workflows and poor integrations. • Issues that are simply byproducts of Boundary Representation (B-Rep) as a mathematical concept (precision, scalability, robustness). • Supply chain management and internal communication bottlenecks. • Slow decision-making, hiring, and training. • Managing large assemblies • Long lead times for running simulations And a lot more. Unfortunately, the "current hot tech" doesn't solve these issues. It’s easy to end up building a solution in search of a problem. In this industry, there are only a few ways to compete: 1. Price: Not very powerful by itself. 2. Capability: A step-function improvement in what is possible to design and manufacture, rather than an incremental one. 3. Platform Shift: For example, SolidWorks taking PTC’s market share by building CAD specifically for Windows. The catch: Competing on price often leads to an unsustainable business, especially given how R&D-heavy this industry is. Competing on capability is extremely difficult using B-Reps, as almost every valuable workflow possible within that framework has been built over the last several decades. Platform shifts are rare and don't always fit the medium - CAD on smartphones did not happen. It’s debatable whether LLMs represent a true platform shift, but if they do, they must provide a dramatic leap in capability. We haven't seen that yet. I believe AI in manufacturing will be huge, but it won’t be "Text-to-CAD." As a founder in CAD, you must answer one simple question: “What will be possible to design and manufacture with my solution or what important workflows will be possible that are impossible today?” If the answer is "the same things but incrementally better" it’s not going to cut it.

@ZuiLoong @Linahuaa Yeah, we heard this on 1. semester b. eng.

@Linahuaa "if you're not deleting enough, you're engineering wrong"

There's not a single insightful thing Elon Musk has ever said. His actual genius is that he makes people believe he is a genius by rephrasing simple obvious statements into some kind of sci-fi technobabble. Like, instead of saying "Humans should settle other planets" he is saying: "We must make consciousness multiplanetary" Instead of saying: "We need more energy" he is saying: “The fundamental constraint of civilization is energy per capita.” Or "Toothbrushing is essentially disrupting bacterial colonies before they scale.” I mean, I don't want to take anything away from his actual achievements- he's one hell of an entrepreneur! But please give me ONE Elon Musk quote that ACTUALLY taught humanity something. You can't.

@TheCinesthetic @StephenKing is this true?

The Mist (2007) famously ends in a way Stephen King never wrote. His novella had a far more open conclusion, but Frank Darabont’s film goes somewhere much darker. King later said he wished he’d thought of that ending himself.

I hate to be that guy... But this is proof that "good design" and "right design" aren't the same thing. This could easily be a Volvo or a Mini. Beautiful? Sure. Ferrari? Not even remotely close.

To all the people who for some reason want the inside of a Ferrari to keep looking like a mid-range gaming mouse, here's a historical comparison that may provide some context for recent design choices.

@deathmetalv10 @SawyerMerritt Not yours. This is mine though:

@SiMONgregersen @SawyerMerritt Sorry you are poor. In the US we can afford nice things.

The interior of the first all-electric Ferrari, the Luce, designed by Apple's former head of design, John Ive.

@06E90 @carwowuk I agree. Cool blend from both worlds

@carwowuk I think it's a great combo of retro and modern Ferrari interior elements. I like the interior

INCOMING: Ferrari Luce EV! 🐎🔥 Ferrari has FINALLY announced the interior and name for their first ever electric vehicle… the Ferrari Luce! In collaboration with ex-Apple designer, Jony Ive, the Ferrari Luce features physical buttons, an analogue clock and minimalist design. Is it even a Ferrari if you can’t hear it from three miles away? 🤫 Or is Jony Ive's design enough to win you over? Let’s settle it in the comments. 👇

@Nikolarn @carwowuk Talking about your mom again?

@carwowuk That looks like something I can mount on my table and play simracing with

@brianshall @autocar It’s because you haven’t grown up yet

@autocar A Ferrari EV seems like a betrayal even if I’m not exactly sure why.

Ferrari has revealed the interior of its first EV! And it's been designed by the man who created the iPhone 👀 buff.ly/MFuO2IE

@tslamoon1 @juanbuis But you think the CyberTruck is great? 👍 weird

@juanbuis Horrible design for a Ferrari

the new ferrari interior design by jony ive and lovefrom is absolutely stunning *this* is what an apple car could've looked like
