LEAP 71 is the company blog at leap71.com, writing about hardware, science and ai. Since 2024, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-05-04, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link LEAP 71's site for its computational engineering projects, including 3D-printed Luneburg lens designs, the Noyron modelling tool, and a gallery of PicoGK-based geometry examples.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
This is a good video from Rogers: https://youtu.be/3YMRfw0uWlw --- Noyron would be interesting to model these lenses in: https://leap71.com/2024/06/18/leap-71-hot-fires-3d-printed-l... https://leap71.com/Noyron/
