Hey everyone, I threw together some thoughts about a personal project that I was able to just finish up recently - it wouldn't have been possible for me to finish it so quickly without the assistance of LLMs. Even though it's a confusing time career-wise, there's no denying the fact that they can help get some things done quickly!

Hope everyone enjoys it - I'd love to hear everyone's feedback. (Oh, by the way, the article is 100% human written; I am not an excellent writer but I hate reading AI-generated stuff online where it feels like it's not worth my time).

I just checked prices this morning and realized the huge jump...

It may seem overly simplistic, but 2-port models for capacitors can be configured in series (as shown here) or in shunt (much more common for power distribution network applications). So, as basic as you might think this diagram is, it is entirely expected to be there so that we instantly know if the S-parameters are in series or shunt configuration - it would be more unusual if it were missing.

Oh come to think of it, I had some attempted logins to some home-hosted infrastructure from Iran last week...

I came in here to recommend Lattice as well, at least for small glue-logic type applications. I've used their various MaxhXO lines extensively and really enjoy working with them.

Even though I never cheated, I never wanted my programs to get erased... I just created an image of the "memory erased" screen and showed that to the teachers.

The subheading to this article seems a little extreme: "To fill the talent gap, CS majors could be taught to design hardware, and the EE curriculum could be adapted or even shortened."

The article is more in the area of chip design and verification than PCB hardware, so I kinda understand where it's coming from.

`sl` is my favorite first package to install in any distro to get see if the package manager works :)

I put together some of my thoughts on the latest generation of AI tools. Whether you love to use these tools, or actively avoid them, nearly everyone is most certainly intrigued by them. Personally, I'm super conflicted. I've seen some really awesome ways they have been a help, but I'm honestly a bit worried about the society-wide impacts they may have.
