This really doesn't sound right. I've ran these from hundreds-of-watts industrial PSUs without any voltage sag and they did great. I suspect the clanker is making some shit up here, as always.

More accurate credit for the RE effort would be 'q3k took scans done by someone else for the first board and turned them into a netlist, then other people did the rest'. It's really just hosted under my GH user at this point,

Yeah, I also feel 'just use SQLite [no matter what]' is just the pendulum swinging hard after the 'just use mongodb [no matter what]' of yesteryear. It's so sometimes just performative. I remember when Tailscale had

I told you - it's not the correct term. Finding the correct one should be something you can achieve in 5 minutes of research, and then you can confirm your understanding with a SME. To be clear, I am also not an expert - I can pick out

Because it's not the correct term. And that's not the only thing that's wrong, see the parent comment. With all due respect, I would recommend you run any educational resources and infographics you create past an actual subje

Also "The pattern is photographed onto the wafer."... shudder. All subtly wrong. And no, not in the 'simplified' sense.

In a simplified scenario (not too far from this)? Yeah, we've done that in CTFs almost a decade ago. https://blog.dragonsector.pl/2017/10/?m=1

I do believe there's a tiny subset of people who are more productive with AI, in the same way that Erdős was more productive with amphetamine. But most who keep on going about their 10x productivity gain are indistinguishable from that
