The post said scientists had rediscovered how to make ancient Roman colour-changing glass, adding that the optical engineering behind the 1,600-year-old Lycurgus Cup, now at the British Museum, had baffled experts for centuries. https://t.co/J3A2yHB7fZ #Ciencia #Historia #Ingeniería #GB

Miguel Ángel Durán wrote that the use of artificial intelligence allowed for code to be generated at a speed that made it difficult to review and fully understand. He considered that checking the code before moving it to production remained important and responsible, although he stated that some companies pressured to skip those steps and move faster, as was the case with technical debt. Durán maintained that, although people did not have zero risk of making mistakes, he had recently observed an increase in software errors and vulnerabilities. He added that when he did not review the code, he would often ask the AI to explain why it had been implemented in a certain way. He also noted that he saw frustration among those who felt that AI had taken away an important part of what they enjoyed about their work, and asked how others were coping with it. #IA #Desarrollo #Ingeniería (translated)

Research suggests that girls educated under the Francoist educational law of 1945, designed to turn them into good wives and mothers, ended up having fewer children, which shows the counterproductive impact of using education as a tool for ideological engineering. #LeyEducativaFranquista #Fertilidad #IngenieríaIdeológica (translated)

Guille G. Alfonsín described the presentation of the Tesla Roadster as a very effective advertising maneuver to showcase the company's technical capabilities and attract attention, although he noted that the vehicle presented did not match the 2+2 convertible electric sports car reserved by customers in 2017. According to what he wrote, the model had initially been promised for 2020 and, nine years later, Tesla announced another two years of waiting. Alfonsín highlighted the engineering of the demonstration but warned that marketing a vehicle capable of controlled flight would require aeronautical certifications and operating authorizations, in addition to road homologation. He also raised doubts about the use on open roads of fans that generate aerodynamic lift by sucking air underneath the vehicle, due to the risk of expelling dust, gravel, and stones at other users. The engineer considered the demonstration technically notable, but questioned the commercial value of the product and the delay for those who had reserved the car. He stated that Elon Musk continued to make promises and delivered only a part of what was announced. Alfonsín said he would analyze the technical aspects in the PowerArt videocast and in upcoming videos. #Tesla #Roadster #Ingeniería (translated)

ARMY FORCE Peru pointed out that the photos Jungkook posted on Instagram seemed to correspond to the Huaca Pucllana, an archaeological complex that, according to the account, was built by the Lima culture between the years 200 and 700 A.D., more than 1,000 years before the Inca Empire. It described the site as a millenary monument whose main element was a 22-meter stepped pyramid, made with hand-molded clay adobe. It also highlighted the construction technique called "librero," which, it indicated, would have helped the structure withstand earthquakes on the central Peruvian coast for more than a thousand and a half years. #HuacaPucllana #CulturaLima #Arqueología (translated)

Germany and France "which have always moved Europe together for decades" must find joint solutions between politics and business, said Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume at a prior event of the consortium ahead of the Paris fair that starts this Monday. Our plan For Europe (which they presented at the beginning of the month) does not detail what we lack but rather what we can build and improve. This means, among other things and according to Blume, that the criterion Made in Europe, the definition of which is being debated for the Industrial Acceleration Act (IAA), "should reward true value creation, not only the origin of components but also design, development, engineering, production, and employment." Industry and politics must go hand in hand. #Volkswagen #CochesEléctricos #UniónEuropea (translated)

Pablo Quirno reported that he had met with Marlin Khiew, vice president of Seatrium, and had toured the company’s shipyards in Singapore, which he described as leaders in marine and offshore engineering. There, he pointed out, was the FLNG Golar Hilli Episeyo, from Golar, a floating plant that would process natural gas from Vaca Muerta to produce LNG intended for export. Quirno indicated that Seatrium would refurbish the facility to operate off the coast of Río Negro starting in mid-2027, as part of the Southern Energy project. He added that it would have a capacity to produce 2.45 million tons annually and an expected operation of 20 years, which would allow converting Vaca Muerta resources into long-term energy exports. He also stated that Argentina was consolidating as a significant player in the global LNG market and linked that outlook with investment and clear rules for production and export. #GNL #VacaMuerta #EnergíaRenovable (translated)

Miguel Ángel Durán wrote that, according to him, many people were using artificial intelligence to reverse-engineer programs and video games. He presented REA as a tool for agents that helped with that task and described it as an open-source MCP for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. https://t.co/oOFIipCGz9 https://t.co/M8CgSSJHic #InteligenciaArtificial #IngenieríaInversa #OpenSource (translated)
