It seems like this is just controlling KiCad. Assuming this produces a BOM as well, you could take the output files, send them to a board house like PCBWay or JLPCB and get the boards stuffed and shipped to you. The board houses may have qu

He didn't charge "whatever the market would bear" for prescription drugs. Also there is obviously a huge difference between urgent/emergency care vs more routine procedures. If you're getting a routine colonoscopy e

It refused to answer anything about pickling for me. Always kicked me down to Opus which is comical.

I live in the Boston area and there is a candlepin bowling place called Needham Bowlaway where the owner has done something similar. He automated the scoring system since nobody from outside New England really knows how to score it and it w

The tool I'm most proud of is "Hex Flex" ( https://seidleroni.github.io/Hex-Flex-Web/ ). It is a tool to view and compare the contents of Intel Hex files. Should be useful to other people who work in the f

I am absolutely gobsmacked how good the game is! I didn't complete the level fully but I completed all but one of the tasks. This is both smooth and fun and I'm surprised that a modern LLM can do something this well, let alone in

Also, I just listened to the latest Volts podcast and they make the claim that data centers will actually lower the cost of electricity fairly soon (~2030). Very counterintuitive but it does make sense. We'll find out soon enough. htt

I can't imagine doing something like this anytime soon, but I will probably follow the advice around having AI check the return against all my forms and previous years return before submitting.

I was explaining this to my elementary school aged kids just a few days ago. We were eating in a restaurant and I told them that when I was their age most restaurants had a smoking and non-smoking section. Of course the smoke did not respec

I suspect they made this public because many customers will notice that they are no longer carrying Adafruit products. I respect both companies greatly and have purchased from them in the past. It will be interesting to see what happened, i

This is really cool! As someone who has basically no piano training, this is fun! Perhaps there could be some super-easy mode where you actually highlight the keys while you're playing the sounds (in simon mode) to help the super noobs

I think there is also some FOMO involved. Once people started saying how AI was helping them be more productive, a lot of folks felt that if they didn't do the same, they were lagging behind.

Is there any way to do this with the frontier LLM's?

I don't believe that it just analyzes the transcription. I asked Gemini to look at the youtube video referenced on the site below and "build" something that duplicates that device. It did a pretty good approximation that it c

The author actually discusses the results of the paper. He's not some rando but a Wharton Professor and when he is comparing the results to a grad student, it is with some authority. "So is this a PhD-level intelligence? In some w

As someone who works with firmware, it is funny how different our definitions of "bare metal" is.

Having lost my mother to melanoma over 20 years ago, it is very encouraging to see the progress that has been made against this terrible disease. Very sorry for your loss.

I'm not sure if this applies to all carriers but with many carriers if you are on wifi you can send/receive text messages and sometimes even make calls. Certainly you could use WhatsApp or similar in that case.

That's a valid point. What I originally meant to convey is that when issues arise, people often assign blame and point fingers without any evidence, just based on their own feelings. It is important to gather objective evidence to supp

I work in embedded systems, and the best advice I can offer is: resist the urge to speculate when problems arise. Stay quiet, grab an oscilloscope, and start probing the problem area. Objective measurements beat conjecture every time. It&#x

This is really great, well done! I have two young kids and was thinking about putting something like this together and I'm delighted that you beat me to it. Having a 6yo and 8yo, it would be great if there were some more basic games as

As much as I love AI/LLM's and use them on a daily basis, this does a great job revealing the gap between current capabilities and what the massive hype machine would have us believe the systems are already capable of. I wonder ho

I'm not sure if this is just me, but with the "Starter Apps" I don't see how you can extend them using AI in aistudio. For example, there doesn't seem to be a way to add more code to the app with AI, even if you cop

It would be great to give each of the NPC's their own character. For example, some of the NPC's could have a grudge against the hero for reasons of their own. They could be cheering against him for causing such a ruckus in their v

I keep wondering the same thing myself. I google it occasionally but never come up with anything.
