I photographed a broken clip. Claude printed a new one
I don't do CAD. I took photos with a caliper in frame, and Claude traced them in Fusion 360, exported the 3MF and sliced it. Here is the photo recipe that made the second try fit.

The Digital Dias
Norwegian pragmatism · Portuguese stubbornness · Too much code
Acting Chief AI Officer at Tradesolution. Writing code since 1982. Too many strong opinions about software, AI and speaker placement.
A model on my own PC sorted 725 news stories while you slept and found 90 about AI.
99 sources, in Norwegian Read today's briefing
"I'll just": a field guide to nerds and geeks
Everybody knows someone who says "I'll just". Here is a self-test, two pictures of me, in clay and with a bow, and a floppy disk.
Don't write like a robot: llms.txt for AI agents
I asked Claude to grill me about writing for AI readers. We ended up keeping my voice and building a frame around it that agents can read.
Your model choice is a bet. Build a router that keeps score
I built a Claude Code mod that reads my first prompt, suggests a model, and scores the one I started on. It showed me how often I guess wrong.
Can you run a local LLM offline on a flight? What to check before you board
I packed a local coding model for a flight with no Wi-Fi. It was slower, weaker and thirstier than I hoped. Here is the checklist and the ten-minute ground test I wish I had run first.
Stop paying a frontier model to read your news
My PC reads about 60 news sources every night and keeps the few that matter for my job. You can build the same thing in an afternoon, and it costs next to nothing to run.
Biggest AI lift for software since the LLM?
Chat models changed how we write. Jev is built to change how software decides. I couldn't wait for API access, so I had Claude Sonnet 5 build a local stand-in: real model, real bridge, real test harness.
I tried to fix a Wi-Fi camera. I built a weather station.
A camera too far from the hub. A Raspberry Pi that refused to relay its signal. Three days of driver bugs and bad power later, I gave up and let its touchscreen do the one thing it was built for: show something useful on the wall.
AI at the workbench
The HLK-LD2410B detects people who aren't moving. Getting it wired to a D1 Mini and housed in a 3D-printed enclosure was exactly the kind of project where AI made the difference between a drawer full of components and a finished thing on my wall.
Local LLMs are not there yet
I run one of the beefiest consumer AI rigs you can build right now. Local models for image generation? Excellent. For coding against something like Claude Code? Not even close. Here's my honest breakdown.
Thirty years on Windows, and I'm switching to Mac
I started on Windows For Workgroups 3.11. I spent seven years at Microsoft. And now I'm switching to Mac for work. Not because I'm unhappy with Windows. Because the gravity in AI development has shifted, and my job requires me to follow it.
You're probably opening Claude Code at the wrong level
Most people open Claude Code inside a single service. Open it at the parent folder instead: then give it the tools it needs to not go blind.
