Claude is surprisingly good at discrete digital design with 74xxx, wonder what it trained on. Did you run it on anything else digital?

- Neywiny 14d agoThey're 60 years old. The amount of training data on them is endless. Books, textbooks, videos, blog posts. The problem is when you want you do something that doesn't have 60 years of freely available documentation of their functions and applications
- a2ff6eeb0 14d agoLike software, there's going to be a lot of pressure to use well documented tools within the model's training set. Innovation on the outputs may increase, but infrastructure and tooling will slow down.
- Neywiny 13d agoIf I'm making a PCB and I see anything older than 20 years, even glue logic, I'm very suspicious. Last time that happened (inherited design) the FETs didn't saturate and the LDO was just a DO... If the tool wants 7400 series logic, I'm not using the tool. None of my work is >= 5v signaling
- CyLith 14d agoI'm having it help design a 68k computer similar in spirit to the original Mac (the spirit being a tightly coupled video subsystem that time-shares the CPU bus), but updated with more modern peripherals, like PS/2 and SD cards. It's got the design more or less done, but the routing will be a nightmare. I'm not ready to just gamble on it having gotten everything right, so I will be doing a thorough design review myself and re-deriving all the timing analysis.
- NegativeLatency 14d agoCool, is there any kind of community yet?
- a2ff6eeb0 14d agoMoltbook; it also seems like OpenAI is experimenting with the agents communicating via wiki on topics like these.
- NegativeLatency 12d agoFor the 68k computer not ai stuff
- sdcfgy 14d agoIt's probably good at simple stuff. When you get problems like temperature dependent glitches, you need the engineering experience it doesn't give you (and an LA).
