Show HN: I'm a 15 Year Old Wannabe Engineer, This Is a Cycloidal Gearbox I Built

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tom-ilan/cycloidal_gearbox/main/media/full_assembly.png
This is my cycloidal gearbox I built, and the python script I created to generate it! This gearbox was a handcranked gearbox specifically meant to test the validity of the python cycloidal generator. It had a gear ratio of 1:9. This design was a micro cycloidal gearbox with a ratio of 1:9, meant to only take up the same footprint as a NEMA 17. Due to the tight tolerances needed for a small ...

Four Time Scales for Technology Development and Deployment

https://rodneybrooks.com/wp-content/themes/rab/images/bsky.png
I have come to understand four very different time scales for development of technologies and their deployments. And I think people often jump between them and end up making outrageously wrong, and sometimes damaging, predictions of when in the future a technology is going to be able to do what. New research ideas take ten to twenty years to form before there is an understanding to bring them ...

RFC 10015: Deprecating Obsolete Key Exchange Methods in TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2

We accidentally built an LLVM compiler for Jax

https://iza.ac/images/jax-llvm.png
The authors built a quantum compiler called Catalyst for PennyLane, leveraging JAX to capture classical Python processing and represent it in MLIR, but discovered that pure JAX code can be compiled directly to machine code via LLVM. This bypasses the XLA compiler backend and enables quality of life improvements such as standalone AOT binaries, dynamically-shaped arrays, and native Python control flow.

The Greenhouse and the Lens: Two Modes of Agentic AI Work

A greenhouse and a lens both run on sunlight, and they do opposite things with it. The greenhouse traps ambient heat and holds it, so everything inside grows a little faster than it would outside: flowers, herbs, weeds, whatever happens to be in the soil. The lens takes the same light and concentrates it on a single point until that point catches fire. One gathers energy and lets everything ...
