I built gaspype, a Python library for fast thermodynamic calculations, like equilibrium reactions. It's lightweight, written in typed Python/Numpy, and comes with a large species database. Gaspype operates on multidimensional arrays for composition, temperature and pressure. It is designed for a flat learning curve and compact syntax for pocket calculator-like use in Jupyter Notebooks, as well as high performance for integration in large physical models. One central goal is the portability to GPU frameworks like JAX or PyTorch for performance as well as direct integrability in ML…

OP here: I created this visualization tool as the byproduct of a supply chain class I taught at Columbia. The pedagogical exercise grew into a full blown visualization and paper about global oil trade. The model: The mechanics are the same as the financial network Eisenberg-Noe: Instead of banks, every country consumes oil interconnected via bilateral trading. Shocks propagate throughout the network, depleting oil reserves when bottleneck nodes (such as the Strait of Hormuz) are blocked. Insights: The interesting part is the mechanics of how the crisis unfolds: for example, France receives 0…

Hey HN! We are the co-founders of Elodin (https://elodin.systems/), a code-first physics simulation framework. We just open-sourced our core libraries on Github: https://github.com/elodin-sys/elodin Have you ever wondered what happens when a satellite is first placed into orbit? It turns out that often, they tumble out of control, end over end, in a miraculous fight against stability. Check out our demo here of a control system attempting to rectify this: https://app.elodin.systems/sandbox/hn/cube-sat The spacecraft does not…

I'd like to share Thermion, an open source 3D rendering toolkit I made for Flutter and/or Dart. This came about when I needed a 3D renderer for a Flutter app[0] I was building. At the time, the only off-the-shelf option was to embed Unity, which wasn't ideal for a few reasons - unstable build process, compositing and transparency issues, and licensing uncertainty, just to name a few. In any event, frankensteining Unity (C#) together with Flutter (Dart) didn't seem like a great solution. After browsing for alternative renderers, I discovered Filament[1], an open-source, cross-platform…

Hello HN users, This is a CAD by code project I have been working on on my free time for more than year now. I built it with 3 goals in mind: - It should be familiar to CAD designers who have used other programs. Same workflow, same terminology. - Reduce the mental effort required to create models as much as possible. This is achieved by: - Provide live rendering and visual guidance as you type. - Allow the user to reference existing edges/faces on the scene instead of having to calculate everything. - Provide interactive mouse helpers for features that are hard to write by code: Only 3…

Hi everyone, I'm working for a startup called BugFree Software and would love to hear your feedback on a new product we are launching today. Helium is a library that wraps around Selenium to simplify web automation. It does away with many of the technicalities involved with web scripting. For example: Here is a Selenium script. Can you guess what it does? >>> ff = Firefox() ... >>> text_area = ff.find_element_by_id("u_0_1q") >>> text_area.send_keys("Hello World!") >>> button = ff.find_element_by_class_name("_42g-") >>> button.click() Here is the same script rewritten using Helium: >>>…

A web platform I've written to make it easy for people to share goespatial time series data and display it on animated heatmaps. There's also a social media component that allows you to write comments, follow, share and like data sets that you want to engage with. You can also download the CSV data and embed animations into your own websites. People uploading datasets can also choose to make money by accepting donations. Please check out the home page for more details: https://mapipedia.com Here are some samples of things created with the platform (press the play button to start…

A pretty simple but fun to play with simulator for a concept from mathematical physics called the "2D Coulomb gas". I originally made this for my Bachelor's thesis to create pretty pictures and build intuition but have recently gotten it a fresh coat of paint and better performance curtesy of WebGPU acceleration (ported with liberal help from Codex to get through all of the boilerplate). Play around with it - hopefully read up more on the 2D Coulomb gas because it is an incredibly deep topic research wise.

(space = reset) Fluid mechanics is an extremely interesting topic and I have been creative coding for a couple of months now. Therefore I started working on flow fields in processing. It had so much fun playing around with the different parameters in this project, I decided to rewrite in p5.js an added a control panel. You can change most of the parameters (within some constraints I thought to be reasonable), randomize the values and export and import settings. Hopefully some coders here get inspired and also join the great creative coding community.

Hey all! I wrote Explorer[1] a good few years ago now with the dream of fast dataframes with a dplyr-like API in a really powerful, ergonomic language (Elixir). It's proved pretty successful. Explorer is used in production at my company, and it's my go-to for quick data analysis. But maintaining it became a true albatross. Polars is an amazing project, but the development process is fast and a lot is very focused on the Python lib. We found that trying to maintain Explorer against Polars was a maintenance nightmare and eventually hit points where we had to give up features and found it…

Hi, in the last ~month I've learned a lot about ECS [1,2]. I'm currently developing a robotics simulator from scratch (python+raylib) and, due to lack of game dev experience I went "full OOP" on it. A SceneObject with a lot of inherited interfaces (e.g. Collidable, Movable etc.). These are inherited and fixed at run time. The main loop inevitably became: for scene_object in sim.scene_objects: scene_object.update(...) for scene_object in sim.scene_objects: scene_object.draw(...) Well, it turns out that this can become a bottleneck if you have many scene objects because computers love…

Hey HN, I have been working on this for a few months and recently open sourced my work. It’s a code playground where you can write TypeScript based code and the bundled runtime will execute it visually. Here are some examples that you can try right away: Hello world https://app.metz.sh/template/2 Average stock price(Event based system) https://app.metz.sh/template/7 A polling setup(Shows parallel flows) https://app.metz.sh/template/4 There are more on the readme https://github.com/metz-sh/simulacrum#examples I…
