I've got engineering automated so well companies are now paying me to help them use AI in engineering and product design. I've fallen into consulting. Want to talk? Reach out. I’ll give you a better deal for a complex product development challenge. I need harder problems!

I've had Astra looking at good names for a new company. After many hours, I can say AGI has not arrived. Top of the list is "Hardwonder" I don't think it will drive the kind of traffic I'm looking for 🤣

Do you know how hard it is to come up with a company name? It is like everything is taken or is too close to the name you want :-( Any of you founders have suggestions on how to do this (at no cost!)

Getting to practice my German. Did I ever tell you I used to live in Munich? It was a short time.
Nein, kein AI Slop: eine KI-Skizze zur Ideenfindung. Daraus entstanden echte CAD-Modelle und reale Bauteile, alles mit KI. Die eigentliche Frage: Was passiert, wenn das auch mit komplexen technischen Konstruktionen geht?

Like this.
holy moly Anthropic says Claude Fable 5.2 designed three working electronic devices from a short prompt. In separate tests, Claude also proposed untested chemical synthesis routes and improved on listed solutions to 72 open optimization problems. Yeah, 2026 ends with a bang. And gives us a glimpse of all the crazy things that'll happen in 2027.

As a GenX I usually ignore generational labels. Having said that we’re fine with you Millennials kicking out the Boomers. Heck, kick us out too. We didn’t want to be there anyway. 😂

What happens when AI mechanical engineers turn on like a light bulb? I’m not saying that is soon. I’m just curious what would happen.

Professional me just posted this essay on Substack trying to help engineers advance on their AI journey. My peeps here on X already know this. For what I see you all doing, you may know it more than me! burhop.substack.com/p/were-b…

Or vibe coding their own.
EBOM and MBOM? Most shops have one enterprise mashup. The factory's structure got pushed onto engineering years ago. It's been that way so long people just call it "the EBOM."

Now I have to go buy a CNC machine for my basement 😠
camlib is now public. It's a toolpathing engine written in rust. I tried to make it as fast as possible. I plan to make this the future CAM engine for Steve. MIT licensed. github.com/stevecad/camlib

I should look into @bantamtools so this guy finally gets something out of posing with me.

When did SteveCAD start doing FEA? Ran it against 2 other FEA tools? You may not know but I was the product manager that created the simulation application in Solid Edge. It took a year for the first release. The speed of development today is crazy!

Its the age of advanced AI engineering, it was the age of people getting certified in CAD drawing creation.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of recursive self-improvement, it was the age of data center bans, it was the epoch of intelligence explosions, it was the epoch of local backlash, it was the season of acceleration, it was the season of red tape, it was the spring of superintelligence, it was the winter of compute.

Signs you live in New Jersey: My meteorologist on TV is wearing a leather dress and cheetah boots.

Why does everyone want a meeting with me today 🤣. Anyone know where I can hire an extrovert?

This is awesome. In particular, the motors and servos have got to be crazy small and powerful.
Robotic hands are moving beyond simple gripping! This multi-fingered robotic hand demonstrates coordinated finger movements, including bending, extending and changing positions. Such advances in robotic #dexterity could eventually help robots handle delicate objects, operate tools and perform tasks requiring human-like precision. The demonstration shows impressive mechanical movement, although autonomous control and real-world handling capabilities are yet to be established. #Robotics #RoboticHands #Automation #HumanoidRobots #AI @gvalan @Ym78200 @mikeflache @EduardoValenteI @ipfconline1 @kalydeoo @chboursin @cleartechtoday @SpirosMargaris @CurieuxExplorer @Fisher85M @3itcom

Busy day. While I’m not focused on AM, AI is going to help the smart companies is this space. Most of them don’t realize this.

Just about the time my wife and I got married, I made here watch the new TV show coming out called Star Trek The next generation. Later, we would make nachos with cheese during the episodes and watch with our 3 kids. Daughter met a guy working a Star Wars exhibit.

Luckily he was secretly a Star Trek fan. They got married later and I have 3 little trekkie grand kids.🖖

I don't know who this guy is but look at those leaves!
My thanks for all the kind birthday wishes! Livin' the highlife on the HiLine In Manhattan!

That was a joke. For my birthday, my kids sent me a recording from @BrentSpiner which was crazy funny! I still need to pull out him saying "Mark Burhop?" so I can play it when someone says my name.

This is in my backyard. I really need to go. Do they charge for speakers or is that my way in?
