What the fuck happened in October 1582

Most engineers dream of designing, but the real magic happens in manufacturing. With machining & casting, you're learning to work with reality’s variables. That’s where engineering gets multidisciplinary, hands-on, and seriously fun. We need more exposure and kids need to see a

In building jet propulsion systems, it’s easy to focus only on the big picture—thrust, performance, efficiency. But every big system is only as good as the small ones holding it together. We just successfully tested our in-house developed starter motor controller—something we

Products with extensive/rich UIs lots of sliders, switches, menus, with no scripting support, and built on opaque, custom, binary formats are ngmi in the era of heavy human+AI collaboration. If an LLM can't read the underlying representations and manipulate them and all of the

Perhaps we can give a chance to DC Series Motors. If the trains are running on those, why not EVs? Ignore my ignorance here.

The race for LLM "cognitive core" - a few billion param model that maximally sacrifices encyclopedic knowledge for capability. It lives always-on and by default on every computer as the kernel of LLM personal computing. Its features are slowly crystalizing: - Natively multimodal

FPGA are great for signals processing, but many signals we want to process start out as an analogue waveform. My latest Hackster project looks at how we can design analogue front ends which can be used with ADCs and FPGAs to give very accurate results. This approach can be very

I've spent the last 2 weeks learning about Nginx and Assembly in order to make a very small HTTP server. It's currently around 5.3 KiB. • no dependencies/libc/bloat • multiple processes managed via epoll • single arena allocation and it is very, very, very fast.

Please don't get confused with the Technology node and Feature Size for ICs. The Technology Node (2nm, 3nm) is a kind of Marketing Strategy while the minimum feature size approx. corresponds to gate width. Ref: IC Fabrication by Plummer and Griffin.

I’ve put together a simple document for my DIY CNC mill build. For anyone planning to make one, this should help. Link 👉 docs.google.com/document/d/1td… Feel free to DM me if you need any help!

In case you're wondering, this is what you get to reverse engineer when you're in the gear business...

Twitter isn’t social media. It’s a battlefield. Open the app: — 18 y/o building a startup — Someone just made $100K — Another grinding in silence at midnight It’s not Insta’s dopamine trap. It’s a mirror. Either you level up or get left behind.

Are you an engineer who is daily hands on designing, creating, integrating, building? Far too many "Engineers" spend thier lives writing power points, in meetings, playing political games etc.

For thousands of years, Theravāda Buddhism—an ancient tradition with origins in India—has described what is considered the highest meditative attainment, called nirodha samāpatti, regarded as deeply connected to nirvana/enlightenment. For the first time, we have been able to use

Feedback from other people is fake. Awards are fake. Critics are fake. Real feedback comes from free markets and nature. Did your rocket launch? Did your drone fly? It’s impossible to fool Mother Nature.

When you genuinely love the problem, the hours disappear...

Does everyone secretly feel that if you went back you to college now, you could learn so much faster, better, and deeper? And that your 18 year old self kinda wasted the opportunity?

I assume both had a sample size of at least 31 and all the outliers were taken into account. But, to generalise humans means to treat them as the parts coming out of a machine. I would rather go case by case.

Engineering IS at its core, a form of art, but unfortunately, to be a really good engineer, you have to deal with turning your thoughts into an actual deliverable working product for a certain amount of money by a certain date with many other constraints. So its like saying
