I appreciate that effort, seeing Claude start to prototype physical objects that can get mass-produced is unbelievable but wow it uses up tokens like crazy.

I'm using Opus 4.7 w/ the 1M context option on the vibrating mesh nebulizer repo and have hit compacting pretty often which is a restart-the-conversation flag for me on relatively small OpenSCAD files like the adapters and enclosures here which are like 10-40kb: https://github.com/dmchaledev/VibratingMeshNebulizerControll...

I can't wait to get something like this small enough to fit into a browser extension. I already use ONNX for zoom + enhance in Ultra Zoom, zooming from 2d to 3d would be crazy.

Good thing they had a 25 year head start on bringing MGS2 to market.

500 trees seems so doable.

I've been using Claude Opus 4.7 into OpenSCAD for creating hacked connectors for vibrating mesh nebulizers. It's incredibly powerful but still needs heavy manual checking to generate anything usable, but holy COW is it powerful when armed with the right info.

having been in ERs too many times when they are beyond capacity, something like this would be better than patients slipping through the cracks, at least you get a chance.

Show HN: ReNgine-Burp Integration Tool – Automate Recon Data into Burp Suite

david_mchale — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 16:48:44 +0000

I built this Python tool to solve a workflow problem many pentesters face, and which we were running into this past week when we were manually importing recon data from reNgine into Burp Suite.

The tool handles: - SSL certificate issues with private reNgine deployments - Automatic scope configuration - Smart filtering for high-priority targets - Both API and manual import options - Compatible with reNgine (2.2+) and reNgine-ng (2.1+)

It's free, open source (MIT), and includes comprehensive error handling. Would love feedback from the community!
