This is pretty interesting. Are you asking users to place code on your platform? So a user runs a test in Matlab and gets a certain set of results, you are asking them to upload the code and the results so that others can see what has been

I was trying to get in touch with him too. The images on the application can be traced back to an ME page for Carnegie Mellon but there is no contact info on that site or on the imgur site that hosts the images.

Although I was initially against it, having another "round" where partners narrow the list could allow for a number of questions to be answered. Most of these questions could not be addressed in the 2000 character limit of the ini

I am curious as to why you may have been rejected. Seems like a decent idea and you guys are programmers. Do you have a MVP yet?

Wow. I am very embarrassed about that. I appear to have broken something recently. The bug report and feature request are working again. I am also in the process of moving from a lamp stack to python/Django on AWS. I'll have to lo

There would be both logistical and technical benefits. 1. A direct link between the CAD, the math, and the documentation. I don't believe that Solidworks will update its models without pulling the matlab output onto the server and the

EE problems will be addressed in later versions of the system. The hope is that it will be able to monitor voltage and current requirements and tie those into the math. Circuit board type problems are a back burner thing for now. If you wan

Hi. Really appreciate the mention. This is indeed a huge bite, but it has the legitimate potential to change the way we design and build everything. The comments on the original thread are closed, but I'd be happy to answer any questio

The platform has 4 components. One component mimics a folder tree and shows all of you documents and subfolders and stored images. The second is the documents themselves. Here, you can create a document and add text, equations, plots, etc.

Can you aim the cannon? If not, you would be limited in the orbits that you could access without some sort of on orbit propulsion. Is that true?

Thanks to everyone that has asked a question. I wanted to add a little more info on how this will speed up engineering in the future. A "fitting" is a small component that usually attaches a rod to another item. The fitting consis

Pretty much. The CAD will be fully browser based and connected to the documentation and analysis side as well. There are a lot of things that are somewhat similar at first glance. However, many of those require the user to write a document

You are very right in that a product in this space has to meet a very high bar before it is useful compared to other things like Matlab. I have functionality to do things like differential equations, linear algebra, FFTs, but not really har

What sort of simulation would you do that has not been done at Boeing, UW, etc.? I am an aerospace/mechanical engineer. I think that the manufacturing aspects of this would be far more difficult to overcome than the mathematics of prov

There is no integration with existing tools. There are some very good CAD systems out there - Catia, ProE, etc. However, for security reasons, there is no way I could link up to that software on the server.

A very, very good answer. However, in this case the diversity the man at twitter should be looking for has everything to do with a person by person case and nothing to do with race.

Yes, white and black people will likely have different experiences growing up. Most white people that I know - including myself - were routinely attacked at school because of their race. Every white person that I know has had to look at a j

The one thing that he never explains is exactly what "diversity" he is looking for at Twitter. It seems that the only thing that matters to him is the color of the person's skin. In other words, an African-American MIT CS gra

Sounds good. If you're doing space stuff in houston, I likely have drank with someone you're working around. Be interested to know what you're working on.

I agree. There is a huge amount of "inertia" in the engineering field. People find something they like and then use it forever.

by theuttick 11y ago
Thanks for the input and I totally get what you are saying. It may help to know that the end goal is to tie in a CAD system. This way, each "document" contains the math to design a component while the CAD reads from that to displa

Interesting that you say that. There is a spot on YC applications that asked if you had any other ideals that you may have applied with or something along those lines. I mentioned pivoting to just that sort of thing.

Matlab, Maple, etc are very good at what they do, but they have two problems that my platform solves. 1. Your manager and/or customer can't see your work unless they have a license and can understand the language. Mine only needs
