The 2026 Open Hardware Summit is coming up this May in Berlin.

Have an idea for where the 2027 Summit should be? OSHWA just opened the call for hosts. Find out more and submit an expression of interest by April 15:

And another reason why Python packaging needs to gets fixed upstream. You can't have the languages package management be treated as a thing to be implemented by third parties.
Please CPython, finally learn from node and Rust on how to do this properly.

Astral to join OpenAI

Astral has entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team.

Sometimes I think James Cameron mostly makes movies to fund interesting science.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is not a movie I have any big desire to watch but the technology Weta developed for this is absolutely incredible. Huge step forward for generalized fluid simulations.

so uh
we rescued a set of 4K movie film scanners

does anyone need a set of 4K movie film scanners

if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at [email protected]

Also one of the few high end BLE parts that are still coming in QFN (normal QFN, not the weird QFN from nRF52 times).
While most wearable want WCLSP, for more normal stuff QFN is great to have as cheaper to implement option if you don't want to go with a module.

If you know the nRF54L15 already, its all of that + High Speed USB, 2MB RRAM (NVM), 512K SRAM.

If not:128 Mhz ARM M33, a 128MHz RISC-V co-processor that can do software defined peripherals (written in (C) code) and the usual excellent BLE and other 2.4GHz radio stuff while being extremely low power.
Price wise also fairly cheap at 2.5€ in singles (much less in high qty).

Even if you ignore the wireless this is a neat part.

High potential for new favourite MCU
What is up with US domestic parcel services and loosing packages. I have never in my life had a lost parcel in Europe but anytime I send something to or receive packages from the US they get lost around 10% of the time.
Not talking cheapo mail USPS but FedEx and UPS express shipments.

Ea-nasir strikes again
