This video about the largest and most efficient engine on earth was striking to me in its pleasant and oddly calming delivery, not to mention the fascinating story within. Dunno - wanted to share. The Biggest Engine on Earth Is Four Stories Tall — And It Turns Just 102 Times a Minute - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y09r_4O6Hc #engineering #science #physics #engines #shipping #documentary #video #YouTube #motors #cargoships #ships

The software practice was once a mathematical activity, à la Hoare, Dijkstra, Bird, et al. But it has not been so, for several decades. If the present #software practice is to mature into a bona fide #engineering practice in the future, #mathematics-based #formal methods, notations, languages, and tools—Z, B, VDM, ACL2, TLA+, Coq, Lean, Agda, Idris, ...—must be adopted. There obviously is no shortage of such tools and techniques. Clearly, many practice areas within IT, including glossy brochure web sites, line-of-business CRUDing apps, and the like, need not be formalised. But certain fields, like operating systems, networking, transportation, utilities, real-time life-critical applications, plant control, voting systems, medical systems, financial systems, defence, and so on, must be mathematical, end-to-end and full-lifecycle—just like traditional engineering fields. Also, there is now an urgent need for a comprehensive framework (statutes, regulations, guidelines, standards, and policies) to normalise the use of #AI in IT, especially in those life-critical practice areas. The time for hoping that the TechBros would self regulate is long gone.

A Laser Powered a Drone Propeller From a Distance, but the Drone Has Not Flown Yet

Researchers built a wing-mounted receiver that converted green laser light into electricity at 38.49% efficiency and powered a stationary drone model’s propeller. The result could support longer missions one day, but it was a laboratory proof of concept, not an in-flight charging demonstration. Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

AI Designed Stronger, Lighter Fiber Networks, Then Researchers Printed Them

Researchers built an AI system that designs fiber-network structures while accounting for whether they can actually be knitted or 3D printed. Its optimized designs were about 50% stronger and 20% lighter than the starting versions, but the evidence comes from laboratory prototypes, not industrial products or long-term durability tests.

Silicon Quantum Chips Take Two Practical Steps Toward Scaling Up

Two research teams have demonstrated complementary advances in silicon quantum computing: one integrated digital control electronics with an 18-qubit processor, while another moved electron spins to perform demanding error checks. Both tackle real scaling problems, but the machines remain small experimental prototypes. Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

For Stephen Cass, the only thing better than a new toy is fixing up an old one. Especially when it's a pioneering electronic game like this Milton Bradley Electronic Battleship from the 1970s! #packratmondays #tech #diy #retrocomputing #engineering #VintageToys

A Recyclable Stretchy Yarn Could Make Elastic Clothes Easier to Reuse

MIT engineers have made a polyethylene-based elastic yarn that can be melted and respun without first separating its core and sheath. It retained comparable strength after 10 recycling cycles, but the material has not yet been proven in mass-produced garments or real collection systems. Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
