> out of the compiler

You mean a source that's been tested on billions of PCs over 45+ years?

As opposed to a LLM which outputs code that barely works on my machine™?

> demonstrably

I'm not entirely up to date on each week's LLM hype train/scandal but last I heard there was no public access to it or public-trusted 3rd parties that can review model's capabilities

Oh, come on, just use a bash indirection and be done with it. It takes 1 minute and you had another result for comparison

Yes but DDS doesn't use a uController and still needs a stable reference clock/frequency/oscillator

Well, it's a bit of a chicken and the egg, no? Microcontroller won't work without a (most likely) crystal oscillator or something to act as a clock signal.

Now that I think about it, no, it's not even cheaper as XTALs are quite pricy compared to other discrete components.

I didn't mean to be rude - I interpreted the comment as "Would you like to build an (insert random object here)? Well, you can just BUY it and be done with it" - may not be as I put it (dumb) but certainly... simplistic and purpose-defeating

What intrigued me was the "just use a microcontroller" comment at the bottom of the page - I genuinely don't know if it was pinned because it's a joke, a genius idea or just top 10 dumbest comments of 2025

Since you're actively using it - how's performance in Perl 6? Are the rumors that it's slower true or exaggerated?

Any argument to back up your claim?

You're taking things out of context and commenting on the newly created problem. HN's not the right place for this

Falstad's circuit simulator helped me become the engineer I am today. It's an internet gem if you ask me

Misleading, ChatGPT generated both obfuscated and de-obfuscated code

How would this tighter connection be useful? The whole internet became/is a creative slate because the two worlds aren't connected

Connecting them would mean less privacy (or even lack of)
