    Tell me a bit about the AI history.

    The history of AI can be traced back to the 1950s, when computer scientists and mathematicians first began to explore the idea of creating machines that could simulate human intelligence. One of the earliest pioneers in the field was Isaac Asimov, a science fiction author who wrote extensively about the potential of AI in his books. He introduced the concept of the “Three Laws of Robotics” which were designed to ensure the safe and responsible use of AI.

  • Measuring Total Length and Total Areas from multiple objects with AutoCAD

    autolispMy work involves a lot of measurements in order to get my quantities off the drawings and make the estimations I need. For this work I only work with AutoCAD. I strongly believe that it is more than enough as it comes with lots of good and handy tools to do the job. Although, some things still “missing” or at least it cannot cover anyone’s demand for commands.

    The use of LISP and the creation of custom commands from scratch or manipulating/using what others have created can easily solve this “problem”.

    One useful command I use almost every time I am on AutoCAD is TLEN. (more…)

I also was wondering how many people out there practically do not listen to music. I don’t mean that they do not listen to music literally. The sound they hear is not music. It is just something that has rhythm, a lot of bizzzz and hizzzz and something like melody. But certenly not music. Laptop speakers do not produce even an average sound quality (unless your laptop is equipped with some state of the art laptop speakers but even then…). (more…)

  • Polyline Undo (AutoCAD)

    Let’s say that you are in a polyline command and you just pressed on a wrong point. Don’t panic. There’s an easy solution that it doesn’t require to stop the polyline command and lets you undo. (more…)

  • Proper way to rotate things in a drawing (AutoCAD)

    Some times there is a need to rotate things in our drawing so they would be aligned with something else (for example an arrow aligned with some lines so it will indicate some kind of direction). (more…)
