@TechOperator they have to put different ones so people won't line up on the same lane at the gas station

After 100 years, Legacy Auto never figured out which side of the car to consistently put the fuel inlet on. Let that sink in!

@TechOperator Could you at least ask em (all automakers) to put the chargers in the right spot? Really annoying not being able to charge sometimes because someone (or 4) has 2 spots.

They’re just baiting now aren’t they?

FPGA Controller in KiChad, this is ludicrous. It just got started, but I am now super curious how it turns out when it's done.

@yacineMTB they don't want your money, cause you hurt claude's feelings

The white version of the cursed PCB looks so sick, I’m glad I ordered both.
I need to do a production assembly stream ASAP so I can get these shipped out!

another day another PCB delivery

Also some thing I forgot to add
There's so many things now where I don't even use the app anymore but just generate my own app to do things
Like WHOOP, for years I wanted to know the correlation between stuff I do and my workouts and sleep, like going to sauna, or what I eat. WHOOP has a journal but it's practically unusable, I logged sauna for ahwile, then I realized you have to ALSO log the days you DO NOT go to sauna, by hand, every day! Useless
So in those cases I just ask Claude Code to build a little web app for me that pulls all my data in from my WHOOP, and what I eat, my @wip logs when I go to sauna, or go tan, or go gym etc. It just pulls all the data in and gives me the answers to questions I have
Half the time I don't even use the web app it generates, I just ask it directly stuff
I have to find a hotel now for some trips we go, I didn't even go to my own site Hotelist, I just asked Claude Code on my Hotelist VPS server to find me a hotel, etc.
So many times where it just saves more time to ask Claude Code directly stuff than try to do it with some startup/company's app
That's what I mean, I'm obviously more tech than regular people, but we usually slightly ahead in how we use tools, and if I stop using websites and apps, and just use Claude Code for everything in my life, it's not without logic to think that something like that will be the future for most people
And of course it's already happening with Claude Cowork and Codex app which regular non-tech people use
My point is that the entire app and website layer is just getting decimated
And me being a person who lived kinda in that layer (well more websites ofc to be honest) means I have no clue where it's going to except this, or what a person should do, for the first time, I have no clue
The only thing I know is that the superintelligence clanker can't reach into IRL and hardware yet for the next few years at least, and there's lots of stuff there to do that's differentiating, because you need a space, tools, machines, make things, and no you can't generate that in 3 minutes with an AI
Blood, sweat and tears are not automated yet by AI, yet!!!!

Like good odds I'm wrong but I wanted to write this down: It's pretty clear to me that superintelligence is here and it's more powerful than us and it's moving where things are going now, not humans anymore I don't see many people realize this yet, it feels like that pic I posted the other day, everyone is running after the same carrot which is the AI, thinking they're special, and their work is special and their use of AI is special, but it's really not, we're all mostly making the same slop, I mean it's nice slop, useful slop but everyone is making the same slop And because it's so fast to make things, like people used to spend a year on just building an app, now it's done in hours, it's such an immense change, people send me their projects and it all looks the same, it's useful but it's slop Non-technical people (e.g. the gfs) are now building the same or better things than technical people like us So AI has made everybody is just as capable as everyone else, it equalized everyone in the world, as in everyone can make everything (software, music, images, art etc) now and everyone is equal, at least in the digital realm now And maybe now we're in some odd transitionary time where we have to find out waht the next differentiator is as coding/building/execution isn't one anymore for sure I thought it'd be distribution but who knows, obviously creativity and ideas, but if you can copy a successful apps in an hour, then how does that differentiating work? A guy on here @aporia9n wrote how he increasingly meets founders who blast through apps/products/startups, kind of money grabs, very quickly jumping on a trend, building super quickly with AI, make lots of money quick, everyone copies them, then their margins go to 0%, and they shut it down and go to the next thing, in a way they found one differentiator which is speed That's one way to do it, but it shows how radically things are changing I think For now I think the only ones winning is the AI superintelligence itself and the companies providing the AI

There's a RISC-V microcontroller with an FPGA on the same die. It's like a Cypress PSoC, but better. Or a Pi Pico with PIOs, but better. Here's an open toolchain for it: github.com/bbenchoff/AGaM…

@ThePrimeagen This is too optimistic it will reach final 10% before being abandoned

Great feeling matching the footprint and component.

So one of our machines decided to died today.
A 2001 servo drive with a cost of 3k usd on ebay.
Luckily we had a replacement part on hand but seems like the encoder driver died.
Apparently fixing pcbs has become a dark art and is hard to find anyone who can even do this.
From the debugging it seems only A and B differential pairs died so one of the 1usd Ics probably just got fried by a voltage zap.
Should I attempt to fix this?

they changed the algorithm to show you posts from your beloved moots and now i'm getting 3k likes on every post again. turns out that everyone is my beloved moot. yes, YOU, my dear.
If I met you on the street, and you showed me your profile picture, I'd say "oohh" and hug you

@realwillreil Bro no mistakes means no learning. You are moving super fast! Keep going
