As someone who was around in the vhs days and has also written filters to approximate vhs, you are correct this is a very poor imitation of how vhs looked.

Wow strange to see this on here. I just spent the weekend working on my build of this.

That nobody uses on their phones. It’s like that install of angrybirds everyone has that they haven’t touched in a decade

I have found that AI is great for sorting out your libraries, drawing and helping double check footprints managing your BOM. I still draw my schematics and layout my boards. I haven’t found it any good for those tasks yet. There are too many stupid errors it makes. I do get it to review my work though and often it catches things I have missed.

Autorouting PCBs doesn’t really give usable results on all but the simplest cases. It seems to be a very difficult problem to solve even though a human doing it is only following a relatively simple bunch of rules and goals in his or her head.

The only reason people use google apps is because they are cheap and reliable. The user experience is awful. Have you ever tried to find a document you had open yesterday in drive?

I am the same way. I am a music lover, I am good with pitch, can accurately tune a guitar from new strings to within a few cents with no reference. But I can barely clap along with a metronome for more than a few bars. I have had years of lessons but my lack of rhythm really makes it almost impossible to progress despite putting in a lot of practice. My wife who plays guitar for fun will walk up while I am laboring over a piece that I have been working on for weeks and do a better job after two tries. It’s really demoralising! It feels like most people can do rhythm like walking or breathing, but for me it takes 100% CPU and leaves little for anything else.

I am a color science and image expert and couldn’t make heads nor tails of the dark table UI. I wanted to like it but it is just so horrible to use that I couldn’t stick with it.

Ah mine do this. It’s suuuper annoying. I assumed it was because I use them connected to my work Linux workstation.

One flaw with this assumption is that images are available in literally counts of trillions to train on. With 3D models there are virtually no production quality models freely available to train on. Even companies like ILM or Weta have nowhere near the number of models that would be needed to train a robust modelling AI

The thing is CAD models look perfect. They are completely un-editable in that state however. You have to go back to the cad program to make edits to the original solid model.

That’s not really how 3D modelling works. You can’t just improve some of the model. You have to improve all of it. Fixing to top of the paddle also changes how the junction at the handle goes and so on. That’s why no one has solved ai 3D modelling yet. It’s like asking a gymnast to learn how to do the second half of a handspring first, and then for step 2 they can learn the first half. It doesn’t work like that.

If they were the guy responsible for maintaining the hydraulics on the logging machinery, who gives a shit if they know anything about trees.
