I went out west, and came back. Sometimes a CTO, Developer, SysAdmin, Founder, Teacher, Coach. Tech itself is the least interesting thing to me. Dig stories, wood, metal, art, history, science, writing, reading & humanity. Profile cred my artist daughter. 4 cats!! Yes, I do political posting, can't be silent to hate.

MIT researchers have developed PhysiOpt, a system combining generative AI with physics simulations to create 3D printable personal items. The system runs finite element analysis to stress test AI-generated designs, making subtle tweaks so objects like cups, keyholders and bookends can withstand real-world use. Users can prompt with text or images and receive a blueprint ready for 3D printing in about 30 seconds. https://news.mit.edu/2026/mixing-ai-with-physics-to-create-personal-items-0225 #3Dprint #3Dprinting #AI #MIT
Mixing generative AI with physics to create personal items that work in the real world

A system known as PhysiOpt complements generative AI models with physics simulations to create 3D models of personal items. Users can prompt the system using text or images, and get a blueprint that works in the real world when fabricated.

Phases of my life

Things that are too quiet and I'm not sure where they are, and probably getting into trouble.

Here is my lazy Sunday question for you.

I remain surprised at the number of instructors (and other professionals) I meet that never held a job outside their field. Maybe I shouldn't be.

Did you have a job that wasn't in your field? Summer, temp, whatever. Just working exposure to a different world than your professional one?

I will definitely say I experience this with my students. It is a very odd experience to stare at a room of it..
