Rusternetes: a Rust Kubernetes, 94% conformant — and the Swiss procurement clause that just got writable
A solo developer's Rust reimplementation of Kubernetes clears 94% of conformance tests — and the single-binary mode rewrites Swiss procurement.
Neural Radiance Fields & 3D Gaussians: Your Building, Fitted Not Modelled
How neural radiance fields and 3D Gaussian Splatting turn a phone walk-around into a metric-accurate building capture — the foundation, the maths, and a Hack.
Voronoi & Delaunay: One Point Set, Two Trades
How Voronoi cells and their Delaunay dual turn one seed field into both a panelisation and a framing logic — with a runnable d3-delaunay browser hack.
SCRIPT Wants Humanoids to Obey Language — Read the Provenance First
SCRIPT couples language, state, and action in one diffusion transformer for humanoid control — but its wins are self-reported sim results. What AEC should verify.
Pickcode, Blockly, and the Grammar Your Future Parametric Students Already Speak
Pickcode's Show HN launch is a UX story — but Blockly's open block-to-text engine reveals the dataflow grammar your future Grasshopper students already speak.
The Building That Clusters Itself: A Cancer-Triage Algorithm Lands on the Smart Estate
A new arXiv variational Dirichlet process method speeds up clinical subtyping — and gives building-OS designers a way to let data choose its zones.
Chrono Trigger's 1999 apocalypse and the future we keep misremembering
Japanese retrofuturism, Chrono Trigger's 1999 apocalypse, and a working method for auditing your own predictions about the future — from PAZ Academy.
The dice my hands roll: how diffusion policies learned to vote on a move
KeyStone and DSSP both fight the brittleness of diffusion-based robot action policies — judge-free consensus sampling and full-history conditioning, explained.
One sparse factor, three passes: DiffPhD rewires the soft-body solver stack
DiffPhD, a GPU differentiable solver, stays stable at 100x stiffness contrast and runs 10x faster — bringing gradient-based form-finding to the AEC desk.
The cheapest tactile sensor is a camera you already own
EgoTouch infers contact, force and pressure from egocentric video — no tactile hardware at inference. Inside the systems move behind scalable robot touch.
