What does pathfinding have anything to do with CAD design ? This is not a video game where you are controlling some character that needs to reach specific destination. In CAD you are designing 2D/3D objects and CAD software is supposed to give you assistance in that (grids, brushes, tools, measurements etc.), so if anything then maybe you are copypasta because you are so obsessed with science that you read tons of articles and in the end you have no clue what they are all about.
I am a developer - together with my team i am working on an application package called âEverything 3Dâ or âE3D Designâ. Google it. Itâs 40 years old.
If your algorithm is soooooo good, go publish it and all credits will go to you. Later we will learn that some dude invented very efficient algorithm and we will know it was you (we know how you look like thanks to your stream).

CAD is simply 3d modelling. To do 3d modelling, you provide users with a variety of operators that modify the geometry of an object. You add material, subtract material, etc. More advanced operators require geometric analysis. Pathfinding is a form of geometric analysis. Itâs in the same category of algorithms.
For every RTS game you have to develop a simple CAD program for the map editing. But Iâve done much more than that, including adapting marching cubes to work for icosahedrons. For an engineering project that I worked on, I noticed a lot of the math was cleaner using a hexagon grid instead of a square grid. It removes those nasty corner-cases where you can get infinite velocity in the navier stokes equations. 90 degree corners are also a pain in a variety of numerical algorithms and itâs because itâs a terrible spatial integration method. So I implemented a icosahedron grid and I took the limit of the vector field as the resolution of the grid approached infinity, which is a totally new method of integration by the way, and this allows you to compute accurate answers with fewer grid points, allowing faster computation.
Itâs basically blender for industrial engineers. Itâs probably built on top of cgal which means itâs just a UI interface that makes it easier for engineers to interact with cgal.
Nope, youâd have to be certifiably handicapped to think itâs a good idea to publish trade secrets. The goal isnât to get notoriety â thatâs an academic goal â itâs to make money & crush the competition. Thatâs how I know a lot of people with PhDâs are very dumb because the university jebbaited them into giving away their ideas in exchange for a paper that says âcongrats on wasting so much money at our university, at least you have a cool piece of paper to show for all your hard work.â
Another place CAD and pathfinding overlap is for finding toolpaths for CNC machines to cut objects out of a block of metal or paths to build objects out of molten plastic. Those are all pathfinding problems. Specifically, those are convex hull pathfinding problems: you want to find a way to reduce a block of steel down to a convex hull via a series of cut movements.
I developed one such program less than a year ago:
It generates cupboards based on user inputs: https://i.imgur.com/q3ikuQa.png
These are exported in an exploded-view: https://i.imgur.com/1XRkPMo.png
An analysis program (which is just pathfinding) converts the exploded-view object into a series of cuts for a CNC machine to perform: https://i.imgur.com/XuO3VGt.png
Which are then cut out by a CNC machine, assembled, and painted: https://i.imgur.com/79pIeNS.jpeg
Not only did I develop the cad program to create the cupboard designs, I coded the program that converts the designs into Gcode machine movement commands. I designed an entire manufacturing process for a product line. This process multiplies the productivity of a carpenter by a factor of 10, easily. You donât need 15 different tools for each carpenter, either: you need one. So it takes a complex and convoluted process that requires dozens of tools & many employees and transforms that into a simple 1 tool process that a single carpenter can operate. This is just one of my hobby projects.

Ok first of all i am literally giving you a favor by reading your walls of text. I am replying to you with as few sentences as possible. You replay with an 500 page essay claiming the impossible. If your algorithms are as efficient as your SC2 progress, then perhaps your algorithms are not even worth bothering. You canât convince me that some random dude playing SC2, visiting bnet forum to boast how good he is, has invented brand new, super fast, super efficient algorithm that noone has ever seen. Computer science and math are fields basically studied since antiquity. If there was anything faster than what we have today it would have been invented already. Stop being deluded.
It uses PML (programmable macro langauge) and Plant Design Management System (PDMS) - design software package ment for creation and modification of 2d/3d objects for the purpose of construction projects. If you are into CAD programming, there is no way you havenât heard about it before.
I understand that you have desperate need for attention and being perceived as an authority but all you accomplish is mockery from people reading your nonsense:
- you are programer in SC2
- you are chick magnet
- you invent algorithms that world has never seen before
- you create engines/contraptions and f knows what else
Get a life dude. Seriously go outside, find romantic partner, make friends and stop being a bookworm. Thank me later.

Nah, but I could be, if I could get past how boring it is to play such a simple video game 24/7. I think it takes a neuro-atypical individual to enjoy a video game that much. A normal functioning adult will get bored with it pretty fast. The game is just too easy to be that entertaining. Itâs not like weâre curing cancer here, weâre spamming apm slightly faster than the other guy and thatâs all there really is to winning in modern sc2. Itâs an apm spam game with near zero strategy. The faster apm spammer gets a slight lead, 0.5-1%, but this compounds exponentially because with a lead you are less likely to make mistakes. Serral is probably only half a percent better than his competition, but he dumpsters these nerds because SC2âs economy grows exponentially and anyone who understands exponents knows that an extra 0.5% will result in huge differences in the outcomes.
Yes, I can summon tens of thousands of algorithms to solve any problem and it takes about 10 minutes.
Correct.

Southern Utah is actually amazing for rockclimbing. Utah in general is but southern utah in particular. Iâve been down there more times than I can count. I found a new place just outside of Saint George I canât wait to go back there. I did a favor for a buddy of mine and he has a vacation home down there so he let me stay there for a week and I did various climbing locations in the area:

Now I know why you call everyone apes as an insult. There seems to be some primal rivalry when youâre climbing things in the forest.
Rock climbing is exhilarating. I canât ever get excited unless there is real danger involved. Going to rollercoasters and whatnot is just boring. Climbing is physically taxing, meaning you get an endorphin high from the exercise. You also get to visit strange places & view the world from a different perspective, making you feel connected with nature. It also gets you away from all the annoying people in the city. There is a bit of a hide and seek element because you have to figure out where the climbing spots are.
People think itâs fun to go to vegas & blow a bunch of money on a flashing screen while being packed shoulder to shoulder with other suckers like sardines in a can. I wouldnât find that fun at all. BuT WhAt AbOuT tHe ArChiTeCtuRe. Oh wow itâs a building and itâs shaped weird. Eye roll. BuT WhAt AbOuT ThE FoOd. Overpriced and doesnât come even remotely close to fulfilling my 3,000 daily calorie requirements. Have you ever seen the plates at fine restaurants? They are puny. They are crafted for 50 year old feminists who are trying to hang on to the last vestiges of their youth via diet and botox. Give me a motorcycle, climbing rope, a map &two weeks vacation, and weâre gonna have some hella fun.
You know, I once drove a toyota camry off a cliff in reverse. That was fun. Have you ever drove a truck through a raging river on a washed out road in the steep mountains? Iâve done that one too. People always think because youâre smart that you arenât adventurous. Itâs like, those two things have nothing to do with one another. âHeâs smart so he must read all dayâ nope I hate reading. The only reason I know of various books & their plots is because I have a friend who does like reading & he gives me the synopsis. Books are cliche honestly. Itâs really easy to spot the patterns. Witcher, wheel of time, lord of the rings, and dune are basically all the same story with slightly different flairs. Witcher, the world fell apart after the colliding of the spheres and a dude is genetically engineered to kill monsters. Dune, the world fell apart after robots rebelled & put humanity back into the stone age, the main dude is a (SPOILER) genetically engineered seer who can see glimpses of the future. Wheel of time, the most powerful human being ever to exist is reborn again, after he caused the world to collapse the previous time he was born 5,000 years ago. They all have a powerful man who doesnât realize how strong he is until the circumstances push him to tap into his hidden power & the setting is post apocalyptic and the hero is supposed to fix the problem. Itâs the same exact story told over and over again.
Star wars & super man also fit into this story. Super man is a super human born on a super earth with super strength, but that planet collapses so he lives on normal earth now and has to push the limits of what heâs capable of to save mankind. They even have the genetically engineered schtick as well because on his home planet everyone was genetically engineered. Star wars is the same thing. Vadar is created by an experiment between Sidious and Plagueis, heâs basically genetically engineered & is supposed to bring the galaxy back into alignment. Itâs the same story on repeat. Being good at pattern recognition sucks because you can never enjoy stories. There are no surprises in other words. Itâs like, yeah, Iâve heard this one before. I love dark stories just because they are a little less predictable. Edgar Ellan Poe comes to mind. He walls his best friend up in the basement after finding out he slept with his wife. Or the ravens outside a manâs balcony symbolizing how he lost his wife & how he sits in his room all day being harassed by ravens who come to symbolize all his grief & regret. Great stories.

Yeah if you want a dune buggy designed for a toddler & a nanny assigned to watch you to make sure you donât go too fast. Get a dune buggy and ls swap it with a turbo and now weâre talking about some real fun. You donât get to come back to camp until you roll it at least once.
I made the mistake once of buying a river rafting thing in moab only to find out it you basically ride a giant raft that is 100% safe to the point the only thing it does is that it rocks back and forth a little. Meanwhile you are lectured on safety the whole time by a four foot tall chick with a god complex. It was the most boring 4 hours of my life. Imagine an overly zealous lifeguard who blows her whistle at anyone who splashes in the pool. Yeah, thatâs what youâd be signing up for.

My grandfather was a sheepherder who almost died to a bear. He had to sleep out in the fields in a tent and one day woke up with a bear sniffing him down. He had a rifle but because the bear was on top of him he couldnât get the rifle up to point at the bear.

That makes sense. Dude doesnât understand the Italian speaking with their hands stereotype since he hasnât left Utah.
I only go to interesting places like Texas, wyoming, arizona, nevada, colorado. I spent christmas eve trapped in a car in the middle of a freak texas snowstorm. You just canât buy an experience like that. Italy. Who cares about italy. Did I ever tell you I crashed my truck in a Colorado snowstorm? Yeah it was outside of Cortez. I was going really fast even though there were several inches because there was a clear path on the road where the other tires had been. That worked great until a crested a hill right as a semi was going the other direction. A gust of wind rotated my truck to where I was now driving sideways on the snow. I actually sold that truck this year. Itâs the same truck a crackhead employee of my grandfatherâs did transmission work on. So I was towing a boat to lake powell in this truck & the transmission goes kaput going up a steep canyon. He âfixesâ it. Fast forward to now, guess what died. Yep, the transmission. I sold it to a mexican guy and tried to explain to him that itâs the governor and that itâs a a one day fix but he kept saying âoh I swap the transmissionâ. Ok, whatever. Just pay me and adios amigos. I guarantee that guy forgot to loctite a bolt & the governer separated from the shifter cable. Itâs an easy fix but the would rather spend several grand on a rebuilt one which are notorious for having exactly these kinds of problems. Yeah sure they come with a warranty but you have to take it off & send it back and then they blame you and say you didnât install it properly and whatâs your next move except to get screwed out of a refund. Donât even get me started on all the nonsense found in new trucks. Trucks peaked in the 2013âs with the 3rd generation LS as well as the cummins of 2009 I believe, and everything has been downhill since then. Modern cars will report you to your insurance company if you let someone drive it that wasnât on your insurance plan. Literally. Computers are great but they do not belong in cars. We need a bit of the philosophy from Dune applied to the auto industry. Need to outlaw electronics & especially AI driven electronics from key parts of our lives or they are going to absolutely railroad us.

Apparently being top 1% is âaverageâ. Youâre living in another universe as always.
