| 3 | 📺 The current state of LLMs in software engineering
Great video which summarizes of what's going on in software engineering when it comes to AI. As a someone who works as a software engineer himself and has been actively using LLMs for the past few years, I can say that they are nowhere close to replacing software engineers.

| 6 | 🤖 OpenQDD - 3D-printed open-source robotic actuator
The author designed this robotic actuator to be a powerful, easy-to-build, and relatively inexpensive solution to creating dynamic robots. Robots like Spot, Atlas, and the MIT mini cheetah easily impress the eye with their agility, speed, and overall ability to mimic natural motion. With OpenQDD, creating high-performing actuators at an affordable price is possible.
Specifications of the project:
➡️9:1 Planetary Gear Set
➡️Helical Gears: 25° Helix Angle, Low Backlash
➡️ODrive S1 FOC Controller with an Onboard Encoder
➡️Air Vents for Passive Cooling
➡️Peak Holding Torque: 16.36 Nm
➡️Total Mass: 935g
➡️13 3D-Printed Parts
➡️ Total Cost: $247
The actuator uses a 90KV Eagle Power BLDC Motor as well as an ODrive S1 FOC controller. In closed-loop control mode, the S1 allows you to control the position, velocity, and torque of a brushless motor.

| 7 | 📺 Air Powered Segment Display
This video documents the creation of a unique air-powered seven-segment display that functions as a clock. It shows how vacuum transistors, latching segments, and multiplexing allow multiple digits to be controlled with limited inputs. Inspired by earlier air-powered robots and microfluidic circuits, the video shows the progression from simple air distribution to full computation, including the accidental creation of pneumatic memory. The final build combines solenoid valves, a microcontroller, and a vacuum pump into a working clock with modes like a stopwatch and simple animations.

| 9 | 🎙 AERIS-10: Open-Source Phased Array Radar
Traditional phased array radar systems cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, placing them out of reach for most researchers, drone developers, and hobbyists. AERIS-10 solves this by providing a fully open-source, modular 10.5 GHz radar for under a fraction of that cost, making advanced beamforming and pulse compression experimentation accessible.
Features of the project:
➡️Full electronic beam steering (±45°)
➡️360° mechanical rotation
➡️Two versions: 3km range or 20km
➡️On-board FPGA for signal processing
➡️GPS/IMU integration
➡️Python GUI with maps
This hackable platform removes cost barriers to radar experimentation. It will interest university researchers, drone startups, and serious SDR enthusiasts who have PCB assembly and FPGA experience.

| 10 | 💻 The RAM shortage could last years
Demand for memory chips has surged in recent years, driven by rapid growth in AI technologies and data-intensive applications. This has put increasing pressure on global supply chains, especially for RAM, which is essential for both data centers and everyday devices.
A global RAM shortage is expected to continue for several years, with supply projected to meet only about 60% of demand by the end of 2027. Major manufacturers are working to expand production, but most new facilities won’t be ready until 2027 or later. While output needs to grow by roughly 12% annually to keep up, current plans fall short at around 7.5%.
Much of the new capacity will focus on high-bandwidth memory used in AI data centers, leaving less production for standard DRAM in consumer devices. This imbalance is already driving up prices for products like smartphones, laptops, and gaming devices, and relief may remain limited even as new factories come online.
