Who knew it was so easy to hack the duplicate algorithm on Hacker News? Just toss in any query parameter, such as &quot;&amp;again&quot; to a previously submitted link. Brings new life to something that was previously submitted less than a day ago.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10178641" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10178641</a>

Very clever. Besides the name (which is clearly well chosen) the idea of putting the moving parts on the inside where they can be sealed and protected from dust, evaporation of lubricants, etc seems like a really good idea.

Swarmbots (eg multiple robots that act as a swarm) are really cool <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=CJOubyiITsE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=CJOubyiITsE</a>

While not a perfect simulation, anyone who&#x27;s played Kerbal Space Program has probably learned the benefits of this method of locomotion.

For some entertaining sci-fi applications of this sort of tech, you should check out Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.
