How would you feel if someone described your work as LLM puffery?

You might want to prompt for some manners, and why humans have them.

So sad. You're viewing humanity, and reality itself, through a very objective lens. There is magic in every day: have some fun! Otherwise, quit complaining.

All of your arguments are broad, baseless, and trivially disprovable.
There absolutely is political will to enable a police state, and history absolutely rhymes.

Don't be nasty - how could they make it better?
Tessellation is simply required to render the IR. The viewport is guiding the cursor to the vertices (perhaps a bug) but the engine is not forcing their use. I also built a ray caster :)
What wasn't working? I would love real feedback -
Thanks for trying. What doesn't work? What did you try? If you're specific I'm happy to fix it.
(forgot to mention, it's wired up to Claude so you can vibe CAD, like OP but with a few more steps - I'd like to train a similar model soon! I also wrote about my first stab at this https://campedersen.com/cad0)
Readers may also enjoy my open source Rust BRep CAD kernel https://github.com/ecto/vcad or the hosted version at https://vcad.io.
I also wrote a bit about what goes into CAD apps! https://campedersen.com/tessellation

ARC refcounts everything (many owners) whereas Loon refcounts only inside immutable shared tree nodes (one owner per handle)
