I made a liquid metal ion thruster so you don't have to ☺️
(it was very difficult 😩)

Quickie 128 x 128 ray traced test of the Cornell Box. None of the hard stuff is built (memory management), but the core tracer went together pretty easy! 🙂
Horribly wasteful single-clock-per-bounce implementation though lol. Time to pipeline!
That feeling when you realize tapeout is in less than a month and you're still trying to decide on a project 😨
Think I'm gonna make a raytracing accelerator. I can't afford a new GPU so might as well make my own 🦾

IT'S WORKING! 🥳
Program counts to 100 and halts. Uses ALU, registers, cmp, branch, unconditional jump, GPIO and immediates. And to get this far it also means the bootloader, SRAM and program counter are functioning too.
I'm honestly shocked the thing works!

A lot of neat looking talks from Latch-Up 2026! Will have to set aside some time this weekend to peruse

Used to culture primary neurons, started having really bad yeast contamination. Supervisor checked my sterile technique (repeatedly 😭), we scoured the hood, replaced ingredients etc.
The problem: I had begun baking bread at home. Cleared when I stopped. 😐
Biology is hard

...once you're actually trying to build something new in bio, clinging desperately to the manifold of known causal models in the vast darkness of "anything can happen when you mix invisibly small substances"...
Every little anchor point of prior knowledge is a blessing.

For context, sterile hood technique is lab coat, gloves, HEPA laminar air flow over work surface. Spray gloves with EtOH, spray work surface, spray any tools that go into hood, keep all dishes covered except when pipetting, don't reach over anything
Yeasties still snuck through.

5 years ago my first ever chip had a deadly error. This is the video I couldn’t make then - join me at 18:00 CEST for the premiere!

I had a sneak peak at this video, it's very cool!
FIB is such a cool technique to allow editing of live chips

We cut a microscopic wire inside a chip with an ion beam, then brought it back to life with platinum gas!
My latest video is a collaboration with @Zeptobars, and I’m releasing it as a Youtube premiere at 18:00 CEST on Tuesday 12th May.

Saw everyone dunking on this and thought it might be overly harsh. But even the images are Gemini AI slop 😐
Like come on guys, at least spend 5min to find real images of a Mill-Turn or automation cell
It's not an important detail, but details are important in manufacturing

Prototyping.io is building autonomous manufacturing systems to turn CAD designs into high-quality mechanical parts as fast as one day.
They’re already saving weeks on hardware iteration cycles for multi-billion dollar companies by delivering high-quality parts, while doing $400k in monthly revenue.
Congrats on the launch, @Revanth279 & @ThePreritOberai!

Kinda want to make a working memory with this 😂 Feels like something Tom7/SuckerPinch would build

First set of COB-mounted dies are here! Waiting on a connector then time start testing these little guys out 🤞

Super zoomed in views are tough since the upper routing and dummy fill-metal obscure a lot of the neat details.
Going to try and delayer these with some manual lapping. We'll see how that goes, but since there are only 5 metal layers I'm hopeful we can get something usable 🤞

Stoked to get the packaged chips and see if they actually work! What a fun project, huge thanks to wafer.space for making this possible!
