Computing a convex decomposition of a shape is a classically-hard geometry problem, yet essential for fast physics simulators. Yuezhi found a way to accelerate it by training a large model!
Yuezhi Yang@yang_yuezhi

Excited to share our new work at CVPR 2026: Learning Convex Decomposition via Feature Fields. We introduce the first feedforward openworld model that generates high-quality convex decomposition for any 3D shapes in seconds, enabling faster simulation. 🔗research.nvidia.com/labs/sil/proje…

kicad v10 allegro import is huge. no more recreating huge footprints or finding people with cadence licenses just to build off large SoC reference designs. startups have no excuse now.

Da*m this is good stuff I really want JAX/PJRT stuff but Google made the PJRT/XLA binaries absolute nightmare to build and let's not even talk about the ABI and ODR issues
Joannis Orlandos@JoannisOrlandos

@signalgaining just pushed a new library! TensorRT-Swift allows you to run various AI models on WendyOS or other Linux + NVIDIA machines. github.com/wendylabsinc/t… We're working hard on improving it further, bringing high performance AI to all Swift developers.

A few articles from the @pagedout_zine #7 that I found interesting: * Disassembling with LLVM: using LLVM API for disassembling. * Obfuscating Crypto Constants: generating crypto constants in runtime. * Turning a GCC anti-debug trick into a LCE Easy and quick to read :D

"Shaping AI's Impact on Billions of Lives" is either the most underrated article of 2025, or I'm out of the loop and everyone is already talking about it. Top computer science and AI researchers (at least 3 authors with Turing awards) discussed the future of AI with top experts in critical domains. The result is a nuanced roadmap for future investment, research and development. The framing of the future as "AI + Human collaboration" resonates with me, as well as the idea that decisions made today will have huge impact on our future. But the details of how this can play out in various fields is where this paper shines. Must read and a lot to ponder.

We trained a state-of-the-art diffusion VLM, A2D-VL 7B for parallel generation by finetuning an existing autoregressive VLM on the diffusion language modeling task, using the masked diffusion framework which "noises" tokens by masking them and "de-noises" tokens by predicting the original tokens. We develop novel adaptation techniques that gradually increase the task difficulty during finetuning to smoothly transition from sequential to parallel decoding while still preserving the base model's capabilities, by annealing both the block size and the noise level.

The best way to predict the future… is to build it with an amazing community of like minded innovators - who are dissatisfied with the status quo.
Andrew Côté@Andercot

A powerful idea from @stephen_wolfram: The physics you observe depends on how you are constructed as an observer.

New paper on arXiv! And I think it's a good'un 😄 Meet the new Lattice Random Walk (LRW) discretisation for SDEs. It’s radically different from traditional methods like Euler-Maruyama (EM) in that each iteration can only move in discrete steps {-δₓ, 0, δₓ}.

Very happy to announce that my PhD student Fan Jiang (@FanOnRobotics) successfully defended yesterday, on "Inertially-Aided Navigation with Ultra-Wideband Wireless Ranging". Fan did some cool work with factor graphs and also built a rust-powered UWB ranging device in the process.

Over the long weekend I managed to get Godot 4.4 running on the Vision Pro using the brand-new Metal rendering pipeline!!! Right now, it’s rendering only. Next steps Head/Hands tracking. #GodotEngine #AppleVisionPro #gamedev

Wow Swift is on HN again! "Swift is a more convenient Rust" news.ycombinator.com/item?id=414643… I really like Swift's ergonomics over Rust but the (current) cons of Swift: 1. the lack of non-Apple community 2. "no_std" is an afterthought 3. Unnecessary gardening of UI-related stuff to AAPL

I regretfully completely understand Wedson's frustrations. @gmail.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lore.kernel.org/lkml/202408282… A subset of C kernel developers just seem determined to make the lives of the Rust maintainers as difficult as possible. They don't see Rust as having value and would rather it just goes away.
