Why is it always assumed the reader knows the function of 15 obscure libraries and/or frameworks when posting projects like this?

I kinda wondered myself if this was some kind of coordinated effort to make Firefox not work. It wouldn't surprise me if it was later discovered that Google paid some Linux subsystem maintainer to slip in some nefarious code somewhere

by deweywsu 1mo ago
See, this is the kind of thing that makes Firefox cool. They have not only just as good of developer console tools as Chrome, they have forward thinking, truly user-oriented policies. They have had trouble in the recent past at securing f

It is possible to write your own extension and still use it in Chrome as long as it's not bundled. It would be a huge pain to get the source for uBlock origin and implement it locally yourself, but it might be worth the pain to block

Absolutely correct. If you always mow in the same direction, the grass always gets pushed in the same way by the lawnmowers blades and it will eventually morph to that direction and lose strength, which appears as grass that doesn't s

Here, the author used a much less domain-specific LLM and it sounds like it produced good results. This made me wonder about other's experiences using LLMs to produce both CAD and schematics/pcb layout. Are there any good refere

I wish I could just go back to the days before AI and cell phones. The world seemed to move fast then, but it really hadn't yet.

This is the new reality for all airliners now that there are much more rigorous mandatory safety analyses in place. The 777-9 just happened to be on the edge of certification when they came along.

Like some others have said, couldn't this be just another "look how amazing AI is" marketing test from OpenAI with the goal of hyping up AI's capabilities in an attempt to make people regard it as God-like, thereby keepi

I may not be a "typical" engineer as much anymore, in that I don't seem to be excited by knowing the intricate details of how things work as much as I enjoy knowing the capabilities of the systems that enable the projects I w

Quite true

by deweywsu 3mo ago
Very true, and all I am basing my comment on is the improvement in speed AI has demonstrated when applied to software development, and inferring it might enable a similar 10X or 100X improvement in both hardware architecture as well LLM str

With the pace of AI, and with AI helping to pave the way for faster/better AI, I keep wondering if hardware like this will become obsolete well before it has a meaningful ROI. Huge AI models can be run with less resources already thro

by deweywsu 3mo ago
This is true, and I'm sure AI cuts will continue, but it's obvious that the ones who went "all in" at AI's mass introduction were drinking a special kind of Kool-Aid reserved for the truly sycophantic Wall Street la

I know a lot of level-headed engineers here may not side with me, but I say let the companies who abandoned their people at the drop of a hat, with CEOs who waved their flag around on social media, proudly declaring how they'd now run

What was really behind the push to get everything browser based in the first place? Is this all to make everything cloud based, software as a service, or did some exec see a demo of Windows 8 and think "web is the future" and ove

I'd love to know how you got your book into the public eye. What kind of marketing and sales channels did you target to get noticed? Thanks

Same for my experience.

And so it begins; even the blue collar jobs aren't safe.

What, no mention of SoftIce or IDA? What about W32Dasm? OllyDBG? Even WinDbg has a place.

How is having local AI going to produce a result that's any better than using OpenAI or Anthropic? Isn't what we really need programmers who rely on themselves more than AI so they avoid technical debt accumulation?

This is what I have been thinking. Business will always try to do more with less because their only true goal is figuring out how to make more money. They will sacrifice giving those juniors time to learn from their mistakes for the sake

SO much better than the metaverse, at 1/1000000th the cost!

Thank you for the recommendation!

I always wanted to get into RF design, but couldn't find it within the mega company I work for (we integrate more than we design at the component level). RF design has always been a bit of black magic, even as an EE. Other than some

WOW! I started off thinking "this could be a boring meandering through registers and op codes" but by the time I got half way through your write-up, I was bouncing off the walls excited. Thanks for sharing your awesome write-up

How did you get such a good sense for business alongside implementing solutions with programming? Did you have experience doing this before?

Would you recommend buying a business over starting one from scratch when possible?
