I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure that qualifies as "kicking ass".

Now I'm dieing to know what the test points are. Jtag?

I've seen Renesas IDT family used quite a bit for this where clock quality was one of the most critical aspects of a large scale system.

Introducing: User controlled amount of 9's. Server too resiliant? Turn the dial from watch dog to watch cat.

It’s about time.



C++ is going to be rebranded ++C (starting with the ++C26 standard) to discourage unnecessary use of the post increment operator.

It is important I get 8,294,400 pixels (4K) at 120 frames a second. Otherwise it just doesn’t feel real.
It is ok if half of those pixels are just kinda guesses based on zettabytes of YouTube and pornhub my graphics card watched

programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like "GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds. GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping. See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows." and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is

I've learned from a principle SWE to frequently describe things as non-trivial. From the back! IT'S OK TO SAY THINGS ARE HARD! BECAUSE THEY ARE!

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

So-called 'nudify' apps. Smart glasses that secretly record video. An explosion in sexualised deepfakes.

Tech has turned against women, and it's time to regulate it properly, says author and gender equality campaigner Laura Bates.

Interactive KiCad file viewer

It been 0 days since @thea.codes 's KiCanvas saved my bacon again by opening an old layout file that was crashing KiCad.

If you're using KiCad for PCB design and haven't seen KiCanvas, give it a look! kicanvas.org

I fell the same now. Its proof it's not AI generated. I'm adding it to the list of things that took care of itself by ignoring it.

I was thinking of laying out copper tape to make a lenovo thinkpad keyboard replacement. It has to be really thin so my options were either $300 flex or make it myself.

This is amazing! This is so perfect for custom keyboards! Huge pcbs are expensive, and especially flex for curved ortholinear keyboards. This reduces the barrier of entry so much!

I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface. Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces. Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done! But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

Adobe Illustrator on top (you can use any free tool that makes SVG vector files. I just own an old illustrator version. Bottom: the PCB Forge tool I made

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind

Oh my word...

The Superbowl ad where the CEO told the accountant to fill in the spreadsheet "magically" with AI and the lady saying "I'm done!" Made me want to throw up.

Charles you keep trying to negotiate with a running chainsaw.

I think that tracks.

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

‘We could hit a wall’: why trillions of dollars of risk is no guarantee of AI reward Progress of artificial general intelligence could stall, which may lead to a financial crash, says Yoshua Bengio, one of the ‘godfathers’ of modern AI

It’s amazing how these people talk about AGI as if it was actually possible (it’s not).

What’s being sold as “AI” currently is slightly random statistical token chain generation; it has zero to do with thinking, intelligence or creativity.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

KiCanvas plus my reverse engineered boards could be such a good resource 🤔
