- A Verilog-to-Factorio compiler (https://redcrafter.github.io/verilog2factorio/) was shared, enabling digital logic circuits designed in Verilog to be automatically translated into functioning factories within the game Factorio, illustrating a playful but rigorous approach to hardware simulation and education.

- The Factorio Blueprint Editor (https://fbe.teoxoy.com/) was highlighted as a complementary web tool for visualizing and editing the resulting Factorio blueprints, streamlining the workflow from HDL to in-game implementation.

- Comma.ai’s open “Calibration Challenge” repository (https://github.com/commaai/calib_challenge) was posted, offering real-world camera data and prize money to anyone who can improve the extrinsic calibration algorithms used in their open-source self-driving car stack, underscoring the community’s interest in crowdsourced autonomy research.
