I started https://signalprocessingjobs.com/ to organize a couple of side projects I have: - a job board for signal processing engineers - Journal2MATLAB: a blog that turns academic papers into MATLAB code - some work on using cocotb for verifying DSP HDL - and some MATLAB code snippets i keep coming back to Hope others in the community find it useful :)

Hi HN! Erik here from Pig.dev, and today I'd like to share a new project we've just open sourced: Muscle Mem is an SDK that records your agent's tool-calling patterns as it solves tasks, and will deterministically replay those learned trajectories whenever the task is encountered again, falling back to agent mode if edge cases are detected. Like a JIT compiler, for behaviors. At Pig, we built computer-use agents for automating legacy Windows applications (healthcare, lending, manufacturing, etc). A recurring theme we ran into was that businesses already had RPA (pure-software scripts), and…

I built a Rust-powered Wavelet Matrix library for Python. There were surprisingly few practical Wavelet Matrix implementations available for Python, so I implemented one with a focus on performance, usability, and typed APIs. It supports fast rank/select, top-k, quantile, range queries, and even dynamic updates. Feedback welcome!

Why build this? MATLAB wasn’t chosen by engineers; it was inherited from classrooms. That unfair advantage let MathWorks sell a decades-old runtime with heavy startup, sluggish hot loops, and paywalled toolboxes. It milks about $500M a year out of the engineering ecosystem for what amounts to an outdated compiler and runtime stack. GNU Octave has been the main open-source way to run MATLAB code but it only supports a subset of the grammar and semantics, and its performance is far behind modern expectations. It’s more of a compatibility bridge than a true runtime alternative. I decided to…

Hi, I’m Nabeel. In August I released RunMat as an open-source runtime for MATLAB code that was already much faster than GNU Octave on the workloads I tried. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44972919 Since then, I’ve taken it further with RunMat Accelerate: the runtime now automatically fuses operations and routes work between CPU and GPU. You write MATLAB-style code, and RunMat runs your computation across CPUs and GPUs for speed. No CUDA, no kernel code. Under the hood, it builds a graph of your array math, fuses long chains into a few kernels, keeps data on the GPU when…
