Students innovate bus stops, air purifier to tackle climate change symptoms
By Shannon Corvo
The designs include cooling devices for street lights, air-purifying pods for train stations and re-imagined bus shelters to improve livability, after the world records its hottest three years ever.

En 1840, Casimiro Martín creó el quirogimnasio para que los pianistas ejercitaran y calentaran los dedos. Para obtener promoción, se lo envió a varios pianistas famosos. Este se lo envió a la reina Isabel II de España. Lo patentó en Francia en 1842 y en 1843 publicó un manual con ejercicio e ilustraciones, siendo ambos muy demandados. 🏛️Galería de las Colecciones Reales #ingenieria #engineering

When you only have one algorithm to remember, chances are someone else implemented it first.
In this case, rather well

We hosted a 24-hour anti-#hackathon at CU Boulder’s ATLAS BTU makerspace. No startups or pitches. Just weird, useless, and joyful engineering. Check out my latest post to see the wildly creative projects built by students.

🚁🔦 Engineers at PowerLight Technologies have created a system that recharges #drones in mid-air using high-powered #lasers. A ground-based transmitter tracks the drone and beams kilowatt-scale #energy to a small receiver, which converts the light into electricity to keep it flying indefinitely.

Stop importing "Magic." Start importing Math.
If you write from transformers import AutoModel, you are a consumer. If you write class SelfAttention(nn.Module), you are an Engineer.
Abstraction is great for production, but it is poison for understanding. To truly master Large Language Models, you have to strip away the libraries and look at the raw tensors.
I decided to build a GPT architecture from scratch to see exactly where the gradients flow and where they vanish.
I call it MicroGPT.
In my latest engineering log, I break down the entire architecture line-by-line in pure PyTorch:
🔹 The Mechanics: How Query, Key, and Value actually interact.
🔹 The Mask: Why we force the model to respect the "arrow of time."
🔹 The Block: Pre-Norm vs. Post-Norm and why the order matters.
🔹 The Expansion: Why the Feed Forward Network blows up dimensions by 4x.
This isn't a "Hello World" tutorial. This is an architectural teardown of the engine that changed the world.
If you are ready to stop guessing and start building, read the full code breakdown here: https://mytechnotalent.substack.com/

Products don’t suffer because they have constraints.
They suffer when no one examines them.
