@ed_hawkins Thank you for clarifying it. My statement was not very serious. I think I just wanted to point out that the CO2-level rises very fast.

@ed_hawkins This graph is already outdated. It's about 430 ppm now.

@brunopostle I did a bit research. #Revit has an extension for #energymodeling and options for #gbXML export through #Dynamo. #Rhino has #Honeybee and #Ladybug as energy extensions to #Grasshopper. #BIMServer can extract geometry from #IFC and serialise it as gbXML. #IDA-ICE imports IFC directly. What about #TopologicSverchok, can it extract geometry and export it as gbXML?

@brunopostle I think the conversion tool could be improved and packaged, and I am motivated to contribute to this nonetheless, if only to learn more of #IFC and #gbXML . It should be relevant, according to the thesis by MGVisschers. Maybe he has a good overview on the need for such a tool today, if he could be reached. Anybody activly working with #energymodeling should know. My guess is that proprietary #BIM tools has #gbXML export. Info could be inquired at #osarch .

@brunopostle An export to #gbXML from #BonsaiBIM would be a good enabler for cost-effective design analysis.

@brunopostle It should be feasible, like there's an #EnergyPlus extension to #Sketchup.

@brunopostle I don't know about the relevance of #gbXML , beside it being used by #energyplus / #OpenStudio . From the thesis of MGVisschers, I get the impression that the format is supposed by all building energy simulation software. And I've seen there is already a well developed gbxml package on #pypi . To me, it seems obvious there should be a developed package for conversion between #IFC and gbxml.

@henry What about being safe where LLMs operate in the real world through access to tools? #mcp

I'm not sure anyone would feel safe being operated on by a 'vibe-surgeon.' The same goes for being flown by 'vibe-pilots' or rescued by 'vibe-firefighters.' The idea behind 'vibe-coding'—that someone can build an entire product with minimal technical knowledge—isn't just unrealistic, it's dangerously misleading. This hype isn't just naive; it's reckless.

@brunopostle I thought we could start a discussion here on the development of a Python package for IFC-to-gbXML-conversion, with the aim of making it available on PyPI and Conda. By having the discussion here, we might attract the interest of other contributors.

You've already done great work on your fork of MSVisschers' original repo. For reference, I'll link to your repo here: https://github.com/brunopostle/IFC-to-gbXML-converter

Important resource for an overview on AI augmentet tool for the AEC industry:
https://stjepanmikulic.notion.site/AEC-AI-Hub-b6e6eebe88094e0e9b4995da38e96768?pvs=4

I have noticed a lot of emerging buzzwords of AI-extending platforms lately: Langchain, Humanloop, LlamaIndex, ChromaDB, and more. No doubt Retrieval-Augmented Generation is a blooming field. Technology is reshaping the way we work, as we speak. I am myself curious where this leads to next, but my hunch is that the personal AI assistant is going to make apparent the impact AI is going to have.

@lovelacecoding Purr purr! 😽

@Flash Maybe more correct: "Oolala" is what you'll sing, if you drop the content of this between your legs.

@jk001 Add the advent of AI to this. Big questions which needs to be addressed.

@ruud Pretty amazing! One day soon I am gonna take my son with me to a place where there are less light pollution. We hardly see much of the night sky where we live.

What kind of mushroom is this? #mushrooms

Did you submit your #Python talk in @pyconsweden yet? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSebISd6uvGN6QB9MMdfib6UpHyleNcvXOvyZf9Jfkt0YrTtuA/viewform #CFP is open. This is your chance to present your work in front of the #community in #Scandinavia

We are only active #PyCon in this region. The conference is on 9-10th November 2023 in #Stockholm.

Please share for wider reach.

@lovelacecoding Louëlla is pretty nice too! 😉 It's like a combination of Louise, Ellen and (maybe) Emma.

@lovelacecoding Oh, really? Why is that?
