Fast Thermodynamic Calculations in Python
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…

In plain words
Gaspype is a Python library for thermodynamic calculations such as equilibrium reactions. Written in typed Python and NumPy with a built-in species database, it handles multidimensional arrays for composition, temperature, and pressure. Designed for both interactive use in Jupyter Notebooks and integration into large physical models, it supports GPU frameworks like JAX and PyTorch for enhanced performance and machine learning pipeline compatibility.

From the sources
Gaspype is a performant Python library for thermodynamic calculations like equilibrium reactions for several hundred gas species and their mixtures - written in Python/NumPy. It is designed to address the needs of researchers and engineers working in chemical engineering, combustion analysis, and energy systems. Thermodynamic calculations, especially equilibrium reactions in gas mixtures, are essential for understanding processes such as fuel combustion, solid oxide cell (SOFC/SOEC) operations, and other high-temperature chemical reactions. Many existing tools present barriers to entry, whether due to limited software development experience or restrictive licensing of closed-source…from dlr-institute-of-future-fuels.github.io

Pyper – Concurrent Python Made Simple2025 · github.com · ▲156Hello and happy new year! We're excited to introduce the Pyper package for concurrency & parallelism in Python. Pyper is a flexible framework for concurrent / parallel data processing, following the functional paradigm. Source code can be found on [github](https://github.com/pyper-dev/pyper) Key features: Intuitive API: Easy to learn, easy to think about. Implements clean abstractions to seamlessly unify threaded, multiprocessed, and asynchronous work. Functional Paradigm: Python functions are the building blocks of data pipelines. Let's you write clean, reusable…
High-Performance Wavelet Matrix for Python, Implemented in RustDec 2025 · pypi.org · ▲93I 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!

Fructose – LLM calls as strongly typed functions2024 · github.com · ▲218Hi HN! Erik here from Banana (formerly the serverless GPU platform), excited to show you what we’ve been working on next: Fructose Fructose is a python package to call LLMs as strongly typed functions. It uses function type signatures to guide the generation and guarantee a correctly typed output, in whatever basic/complex python datatype requested. By guaranteeing output structure, we believe this will enable more complex applications to be built, interweaving code with LLMs with code. For now, we’ve shipped Fructose as a client-only library simply calling gpt-4 (by default) with json…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Trickle - Magic Canvas ▲1,064Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
