Our Future in Space Depends on a New Type of Engineering

Our Future in Space Depends on a New Type of Engineering

by Lin Kayser | Dec 19, 2025 | Uncategorized

I am disappointed with the state of space technology. By all reasonable projections of the 20th century, we should be a spacefaring civilization by now, yet we are still far from it. What happened — and more importantly, how can we still achieve that goal in our...
The economics of additive manufacturing are broken, here’s how to fix it

The economics of additive manufacturing are broken, here’s how to fix it

On Tribal Knowledge, LLMs and Computational Knowledge in Engineering

by Lin Kayser | Jan 1, 2024 | Uncategorized

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are “organizing” the general body of knowledge of humanity. Ask any question, and you get an eloquent answer. It seems only a matter of time, until LLMs emerge that “know everything”, that will be...
RISC in PicoGK — or why we deliberately created a geometry core with a reduced instruction set

RISC in PicoGK — or why we deliberately created a geometry core with a reduced instruction set

by Lin Kayser | Dec 6, 2023 | Computational Engineering

In this article, I talk about the reasoning behind the reduced instruction set architecture of PicoGK, our open-source geometry kernel, which forms the foundation of the LEAP 71 technology stack. Reduced instruction set architectures are not a new concept, and in the...
