@bradr yes, "small non-motorized vessels like paddle boards and kayaks are legally vessels in California but require no registration, radio contact, or pre-clearance for short trips in SF Bay.

@henrl is this actually true? i always assumed there was some air traffic control-like system (with mandatory compliance) in place for marine traffic

Nothing is stopping you from buying a board from Costco and paddling to treasure island. Only takes half an hour!

@rexsalisbury Yes, waited weeks for a good window and had friends on a boat spotting me!

@henrl this is a bad idea unless you are familiar w the bay: - wind, routinely blows > 20mph after 1pm on TI this time of year. - tides (1.5+ kt peak during ebb / flood) and need a marine radio.

@xenocyke @fab2 Browser

We are building Atomic Studio to match the speed of our fab. It’s fast, browser-based, and collaborative. Layout, schematic, and simulation. Here’s a side by side of Studio (left) and Klayout (right) moving through the same file.

@anu_bonth @adamdotnew How long did it take?

I've been impressed by @adamdotnew so I had it model an aerospace fastener. Results were good and Opus 4.7 is great!

@danielmitchell Yeah it’s such a neat feature

@henrl alt/opt is my bread and butter baby

recent favourite onshape shortcuts: - shift-n - q in sketch - shift-x - N - (assem) s -> duplicate -> match edges on face - space - shift-i also just learned about holding down Alt/Option and rotating left/right.

Eileen Gu recently went viral for her *surprising* Teen Vague rant on the use of AI in CAD design "sure they can write a kernel and extrude some shapes, but the feature tree and drawings? they are just the products of a much larger engineering process. it’s like, you’re trying to build a machine that can only write down the answer. you need to solve the context problem first before we see meaningful integration of ai in mechanical design."

who else tryna take a heroic dose of magnesium

@clayhaight @sundayrobotics LFG

Super excited to announce our 165M Series B at @sundayrobotics to help us move from demos to a shipping product. It's pretty insane the amount of progress over the last year, a year ago it was just a few people working together in a house in Mountain View. We are still hiring aggressively across a bunch of different roles, and if you've shipped hardware before we would love to meet you!

If you’re not spotting 1973N23 on your hikes idk what to tell ya

need more people in my life who know what atomic layer deposition is

@SophiaFioren Morning!

mfw the RFQ takes longer than building it yourself

@icanc4 this area is pretty fun. walk around the block and find some good food. check out huashan park afterwards. maps.app.goo.gl/GEw97tLCUShF94…

@henrl yooo im going to taipei this weekend where should visit 😭

In Taipei you can walk down a street with a drawing and find a shop that’ll make your part in 30 mins

@_one334 Where

the best 3D printers in the world are designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Canada

@forwarddeploy eh

🇨🇦 Canadians in SF 🇺🇸 Last week, I was lucky to be surrounded by 150 of some of the best Canadians in San Francisco Good people should meet good people, so I kept the "Canadians in Eh I" series going From early engineers at OpenAI and Perplexity to first-time founders and public company CEOs The room was buzzing with energy. Moving to the states isn’t easy. No visa guarantees. No obvious playbook. Canadians take a real leap to be here. But once you’re building, it’s hard to imagine being anywhere else. Canadians are the hidden cheat code for building, hiring, and investing. Amazing to see how many journeys started in Canada and are now thriving here in the states 🇺🇸. Big thanks to @lighthousehq_ and @jcarrharris for sponsoring! 🍁 If you’re a Canadian working on eh I in SF or NYC and want in on the next one, reply with an “eh” in the comments. 🍁

Saw this in a restaurant and deadass thought it was the kf 16 mks 901p loadlock transducer
