It wasn't too long that the equipment to do this scanning and the software to do the analysis were both "Contact Sales For A Quote" and now you can get a decent scanner for like $1k and the software is free I LOVE THE FUTURE
My latest free tool, ScanRuler.com, can automatically reverse-engineer your 3D Scans! Just tell your AI agent to connect to the ScanRuler MCP give it an stl and tell it to reverse engineer it. A detailed video and a custom skill will be released in the next few days!

Still thinking about this post. Human creative innovation is not spontaneous but is actually a byproduct of solving problems. Art deco (for example) was not some randomly-inspired force of will to create beauty; it happened because metallurgy became just advanced enough to create everything out of metal, and because zoning laws required skyscrapers to have a stepped shape at the top.
This is why top-down efforts at changing our civilizational aesthetic (like those guys building the giant Greek statues) donβt work. They donβt change the βproblemβ weβre solving as a civilization, which is the actual source of the bleak & dreary surroundings we find ourselves in

a pattern i observe is that new (like REALLY NEW) aesthetics are usually residue of solving problems
eg. the iconic inktrap fonts became popular bc ink would pool in corners when printing on rough paper

In Toronto, more people are killed and injured by vehicles than from violent crimes. Anyone who claims to be a champion of safety, but who isn't advocating for safer roads, is just fear mongering or dog whistling.

At some point in the past few years I realized that airport lounges are rarely worth it. Food is pretty mid and unless you travel extremely frequently the cost premium of credit cards with access doesn't pay off. They only make sense if you're an alcoholic.
Air Canada lounge is packed to the gills, and they're turning people away as full and repeatedly telling people to stop putting their bags on seats because the seats are for people.
But there's booze, so that's something.

There was a time when I was a kid that I could buy Bawls from the 7-Eleven a few minutes walk from my house. Now they don't have it and that 7-Eleven is closed. Ultimate proof that Canada is on the decline. ππ
