KERBIN.
TECH

A launchpad for a group of friends who met building rockets in KSP circa 2013 and never stopped yapping about tech, space, everything in between, and even beyond.

"What does this org even do?" — honestly, great question.

The Kerbonauts

The people behind the transmissions. United by a suspicious number of hours in KSP and a shared love for building things that occasionally work.

Yiwei Fu

@fiwii · ml researcher

CS PhD slowly in progress. Thinks about what it means for a model to "learn" or "forget" something, and whether it actually does. Differential privacy, safety, alignment — the paranoid corner of ML. Jack of all trades, an enjoyer of life.

Designer, developer, and photographer based at MIT. Bridges physical and digital through interface, interaction, and computational geometry. Build things fast, and ask "but what if it was also beautiful?"

The Log

Thoughts, hot takes, and rabbit holes. Like a podcast where everyone talks whenever they want and nobody edits anything.

Artemis II Has Me Feeling Things

Remember our 8th-grade Apollo 11 live demo in KSP where we ran out of cabin space and threw a Kerbal out the airlock? Now real humans are going around the Moon again. Way more carefully, of course.

We Finally Have a Website!

After 12+ years of "we should make a website" in the group chat, kerbin.tech is live. However, the boys are no longer together and have unlimited time to do wacky things for show. But things can change!

Things we're building, breaking, or thinking about. Everything started as a 2am message in the group chat.

kerbin.tech

This very site. A place to put our thoughts and whatever else comes to mind. Perpetual work in progress. Current uptime: probably fine.
