Bill of materials for a hybrid rocket engine is cheaper than I thought. ~£280 between stainless steel, phenolic, HDPE and graphite. Turns out when you remove all the fluff you can manufacture hardware for quite cheap

I flew all the way from Poland to San-Francisco to make robotics PhDs obsolete. I built a tool to implement SLAM in 2 lines. Don't spend months and half a mil building vision pipelines out. All you need is two commands to make your robot understand the environment it's in.…
built a 4D printer i guess: 6 axis of movement. lets you print 10x stronger patterns. run threads of composites in the stress direction they're actually strongest. will be used for building large aerospace parts. hmu if you want to be a beta tester.
i’ve accidentally injected molten PLA a few mm deep under my thumb, i think i just got myself a free plastic tattoo
i wake up and find another day ahead of me to work on what i love, i can’t believe how lucky i am
