The difference is that the LLM will -probably- make an attempt to follow my instructions, whereas there is an even chance that the junior dev will decide all that pedantic reflection is below their genius, and will launch straight into hack

RF design is very much an art, and the difference between works and works really well without harmonics and noise is a matter of design subtleties and often expensive parts. There are decent SDR setups around $500-700 that are known to be

I’m not really sure. I’m constantly presented with a blurry line and it isn’t getting less blurry. If anything it’s slowly dissolving. Or maybe it’s me, falling victim to AI psychosis lol.

Sure, apply this pattern to that set of specifications. The very fact that the language has a fixed set of defined keywords sort of makes it all “pattern matching”, but computabillity theory implies that you can definitely use patterns to c

To be fair, I also have had to explain this same basic workflow to junior devs in the past, so I guess not?

That’s the big bet, for sure… but if it’s reasoning that the supervising devs are injecting, and ai systems can’t reason, I guess it won’t work? Idk, I kinda think they do reason, though not in the way people might think. It’s definitely tr
248.
by K0balt 5mo ago
That could be, but if that is the case than development apparently doesn’t require reasoning? Or maybe that’s the part that the senior developer supervising the pipeline injects. Thats certainly a plausible position.

Because I have 100 percent test coverage (of the software, some hardware edge cases pop up that aren’t documented in the data sheets), and over 10k hours of field deployment over 130 devices? This rollout has been much more bug free than an

Hmm. I don’t think that novel code generation can be accounted for with glorified search. I can have my agentic system read a few data sheets, then I explain the project requirements and have it design driver specifications, protocols, int

I wonder it this could be easily ported to the TTGO esp32 deck? It’s fairly mature and a nice form factor.

by K0balt 5mo ago
Lol I guess you’ve got a point , but honestly it’s not more supervision than I would give a junior dev, at least until they had developed at least a few months track record of good judgement. I guess the problem is the blind assumption of c

I think maybe there are fundamentally different slots that employers fill in people’s perceptions. For myself, I will never imagine that a company cares about me even in some ephemerally meaningful way. No amount of perks or even pay will

by K0balt 5mo ago
I haven’t had this problem. Maybe it’s because of the language I’m using (C++) or maybe it’s because of the strict enforcement of modularity and public vs private interfaces, etc that I use? Also, the code is tested against the hardware wit

by K0balt 5mo ago
This is essentially true. There are other ways to achieve this goal though, that don’t require exhaustive human review, better models are able to do that part as well if properly guided. The key is that yes, some of the design constraints w

Just wait for a few months, that 40 isn’t going to stretch nearly as far. We are entering a period of food scarcity, and if things continue on the road they are on, a high likelihood of global conventional conflicts. The powers that be seem

This blog of my idle musings, specifically, has been a source of call-outs. In articles from back in 2013 of all things. I also noticed that( ChatGPT?) seems to have replied to one of my latest (2023) posts, which I find odd and improbable

Gotta have goals lol. Missing the point far enough to make another is remarkable.

Yeah, employers should not hire people that can’t afford to put away 6 months of livings expenses, because that puts the employer in a questionable ethical position. Or maybe a living wage with savings should be the legal minimum wage? Oh w

So the solution is: simple, beautiful, effective websites with no unnecessary complications. And certified hand calculated hashes, to show that you invested heavily in the presentation. Human POW. Brb off to launch my new blockchain.

OTOH I’ve had blog posts I wrote two decades ago vehemently called out as AI generated. AI generated style unfortunately means writing that tested positively in human A/B testing, now over represented in a style used largely by AI. So

LORA uses a sub noise-floor link budget. It allows some pretty crazy performance, at the expense of massive speed losses. Like 203kbps for LoRa vs 1,376,000kbps for WiFi lol.(max phy speeds, ymmmv). WiFi sensitivity is about -90dB, while Lo

Is the design for this open source? I’m not an rf guy so it would be really handy to be able to reuse some parts of this in my sensor network on our farm. I can do the digital and sensor part all day, but I respect the skill of rf engineeri

I independently converged on something similar. I use two to three specification docs for my c++ work: a firmware manual (describes features and interfaces)) , an implementation plan (order of implementation, mechanisms where specified - ne

Yes, and it also points people away from pathological overconsumption, which is arguably a very good idea on a number of axis. And also would shrink the economy significantly if it was widely adopted… which maybe hints at the inconvenient f

Don’t imagine that it wasn’t heavily promoted by industrialites after they saw that after ww2 they could increase the labor force by 30 percent without paying more than they were before. Everything that starts out with a few well meaning pe

> By that same token, you could identify any poorly-understood corner of human perception to be evidence of simulation. I don’t think that is what I was saying. The simulation hypothesis is not based on things being unexplained, but rath
