The ChompSaw: A Benchtop Power Tool That's Safe for Kids to Use

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-28 14:43:22

Of all freestanding power tools, perhaps the jigsaw or scrollsaw would be the most fun for kids to use, as they allow freeform cuts. They're also pretty darn dangerous, with the jigsaw being powerful enough to remove fingers. A much safer way to introduce kids to power tools is this ChompSaw, developed by product designers Kausi Raman and Max Liechty. The material it's designed to cut is cardboard, allowing parents to turn Amazon boxes into projects. The tool is essentially a nibbler, using an

Vstock LLC/Getty Images It's only been almost three years since generative artificial intelligence (AI) hit the mainstream as a new paradigm of productivity, but here we are -- it's everywhere. I test AI tools as part of my work. I'll dig into just about any AI-related technology and see what I can make it do.

Oldest wooden tools in East Asia may have come from any of three species

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-08 23:05:05

Someone made very sophisticated wooden tools in China 300,000 years ago, and it might have been Denisovans or even Homo erectus. The digging sticks, curved root-slicers, and a handful of somewhat puzzling implements were all found at a lakeshore site called Gantangqing. They are the oldest wooden tools from East Asia so far. All the previous Pleistocene tools found in the area were made from harder material like stone, bone, or antler. But logic suggests that hominins must have prepared and use
