I think it’s saying one is a means to an end, and the other is the end itself. We need work for so much more than money, and it is good. But work should never be the end.

I’ve used this using Fable 5.1 for a few PCBs, and I’ve found it incredible.

The component selection through JLCPCB saves so much time - best part, if a component is out of stock, Fable quickly redesigns and reroutes to board for a part that is in stock (if the footprint is different)

It’s not perfect, but months worth of work gets done in hours.

At the moment I’m using LLMs for:

A business brain to track tasks, decisions and upcoming events

For coding including firmware

PCB component selection, circuit design and layout

Opportunity scout

Presentations, market research and reviewing legal agreements.

Understanding complex things

Why is no one lobbying to get rid of lobbying?

Ok, but does the government generally decide based on what’s in the best interest of the people, or the best interest of those who paid the most in the lobbying.

I think the answer to that should tell you how good or bad lobbying is.

The interesting thing is that the laws being created to protect against such extreme attacks will be used against the people when they are controlled by an extreme group.

The main challenge is that the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for impulse control and other things, only fully develops around age 25.

The problem with that is without some explicit instruction or guidance or invention before they have full control of their impulses, not everyone tames the beast unscathed.

This is the way.

Fair enough, but is the notion that some of the time, in a company that explicitly promotes DEI, that a person is there not entirely based on merit, evil and stupid?

Serious question.

This is a great start, well done!

Eventually it would be amazing to import (for example) a buck converter circuit with a wide voltage input, fixed output suitable for RF, and have it automatically check available components at JLCPCB and then lay it all out with, adhering to best practices (ground planes & capacitors right next to pins etc.) If the available components change, it can tweak the footprints and layout without having to start from scratch.

Good luck, I’ll be following closely!

One of my favourite stories is of George Lemaître who came up with the Big Bang theory, and predicted the Higgs Boson - while Steven Hawkins bet against it, and was proved wrong.

George Lemaître was a Catholic Priest.

I too have the same problem. I’m really good at starting things, and unless I find someone or some important reason to complete it, I seldom get there.

Nowadays I try to only start projects with those in place or else I find that I don’t fi…
