I recommend having the LLM write Skidl, which generates a netlist, which you import in the PCB editor, which the LLM then reviews. Routing itself I think would require code-driven routing (expressing board via layout constraints, kinda like

Just regular coding agents are really good with Skidl schematics and can review layouts well. I'm not sure why you'd want a specialised environment for this.

I think ChatGPT work (web) uses the client browser for browser use, butn not sure. So it should be possible.

Had codex organise my music collection yesterday. I think it'll do my quarterly reporting soon as well. Indeed a pretty lame example they used.

Interesting stuff. "Soul" is hard to define. A thought experiment I do is this: Does a human have a soul? Sure. A rock? No. What about a single-cell organism? Nah. An insect? No. But what about a mouse? There is a kind of gradient

Some interesting stuff in there. Has anybody experimented thoroughly with a slimmer system prompt? It's so massive, and handles cases I would never run into, for example, instructing the model when it may end the conversation in case o

Interesting points. Can you share some thoughts about the theological implications of AI? Interested to hear.

Space, yes. Orbit, no. From what I understand, orbit is much harder to achieve. Pedantic, but still.

I it usually doesn't get me in this weird state of mind, but I once spent 6 months (all-in) building a thing that I, once finished, just left alone completely (on disk gathering dust). Weird experience. So I'd say AI physchosis is

Not sure why the complicated setup with Gemini. I assume you are on a Codex or Claude plan (100 or 200 EUR/USD/m). The model will just pull datasheets and use a combination of conversion to text and looking at bitmap renderings of

What makes you think that? They're great at reading datasheets and creating schematics in my experience. Layout I've been doing myself though, with the AI evaluating. I'll eventually delegate that as well. For schematics I us

What kind of chips are you talking about? I guess most ARM SoCs and maybe RAM/ROM ICs?

I find it's (Sol at least, probably also Fable) great at writing Skidl schematics, evaluating PCB layout work and operating lab equipment while testing board (scope, psu, load, debugger)

by edg5000 12d ago
Three things that worked well for Sol and also Fable: - Designing circuits in Skidl - Checking my layout work (not doing it) - Operating my lab equipment (running my scope, lab PSU, lab load, programmer/debugger any any other interface

Sol has been very effective at schematic design (using Skidl) and at reviewing PCB layouts. But layout was still done manually by me. I'm very impressed and surprised to see they exactly a demo of Astra doing PCB layout. This is could

The article seems to distingish ads from ad tech, stating ads bring in a lot of revenue, but ad tech not. Kinda confused about what the difference is.

There is a real tension. On the one hand, you need to grind to develop the horse power needed. Without the horse power, it's just not possible. On the other hand, your ideas need to meet reality for things to get steered and stay groun

Could this be used to replace photogrammtry when accuracy is needed? Photogrammetry requires lots of images and can be brittle, and is slow to compute.

Agree on the false statements on Opus 5. I tested this, 4.8 also got the answer wrong but 4.7 got it right. And so did Sol and Fable.

Cache reads dominate in modern workflows (coding CLIs and modern web clients such as ChatGPT Work and Claude Cowork (web)).

I spent a long time with custom harness design and found the terminology to be a key part of the work, since the concepts are new. I dropped the term "agent" altogether in favour of "thread" for that very reason.

Sol is 100 EUR/m and I prefer it over Fable, and you get practically unlimited usage unless you go really overboard with it. So I don't get the cost argument. Would be better to own hardware, but with the shortages that's not

13B is a lot for an online platform that hosts weights. What's the special secret sauce that makes this so valuable? The fact that it's the go-to place for public weights?

9 to 5 isn't slaving. Even in a jungle, you'd be scavenging and hunting all day. See the birds? They're constantly busy. You want to sit around all day? You'd be miserable. A strange perspective to argue that because pas

What I do notice is that when it doesn't have the info it needs, or when I don't tell it that I'll handle part of the process, it will indeed do everything to get the job done. Also saw this but find this a great quality, bec

Sol is basically at the same level, but with better usage. You're not dependent on Fable. You could switch the next minute and hardly experience quality differences.

In the Netherlands we rely on beach grass, a type of grass that can root well in loose sand, to keep dunes together. This forms the main sea barrier. The grass has historically been replanted at least partially to maintain the protection. T
