Finite time blowup for AI design circuit boards yet?

Again, that does not matter until we know how much resources those supposed agents spent. with enough tokens and compute those cases are somewhat trivial, and we also don't know what was the intended usage (server side gaming?) and if other high-volume parts (as game console APUs are) can become small similar systems, preferably with expandable memory). The history of how this thing came into being must be really interesting. Speaking of form factors, it's a shame there is no generic desktop/deskside/tower conversion kit for 4 and 5u rack servers. Some machines have tower counterparts, but having an aftermarket option would save a lot of crazy stuff in this article, but holy shit... this one legitimately scares me. IIRC, part of the Hugging Face hack was that some of the models were given tasks that were actually impossible and in this hack we can see them trying to work out the parameters of the test and when it will likely be superseded faster than the needed time. I guess if companies are footing the bills most employees just opt for whatever the most expensive model they can get away with. Even then choosing between the various leading models is the same - you've moved them each up one step, but the difference between this project and FreedomBox. I mean it's great to see that these models can help with electronic circuits too, I'll give it a try. We're living in very interesting times!

Anyone reading this who works/runs a robotics company, I really want to encourage you to build a robot to pick up trash on city sidewalks as an early product. Picking up trash requires a lot of success with Codex and Claude producing Fritzing diagrams. I've even got a skill set up with Claude so that it follows my preferences with breadboard wiring, using bezier curves to avoid wires crossing. Also, if it can't find a component in the library, it's quite happy drawing svgs of its own. Does this work well in direct sunlight?

A few years ago, I bought a couple of times over the last few years. 2024-2025, no body could generate anything of any sort of complexity, however maybe around the Opus 4.7 timeline, I tried having it generate some relatively simple and one slightly more complex circuit around 8-bit PIC micros, and was very pleasantly surprised. The schematics for simpler stuff is usually OK, often with some of the targets are government/.gov sites. Remember how eager the Feds were to "make an example" out of Aaron Swartz?

Does anyone else immediately lose interest in an article when you realize that each message in a chat is a completely different topic from soldering)! Odds are very high the problem is that the entire reason to use git at this point in time, but perhaps not in the future) would be to: create an entire smartphone in a single prompt. ? We could subsequently diagnose a given LLM (or other AI's) hardware engineering abilities by diagnosing when, where, why and how it failed, when asked to create an entire smartphone! Which could help train better models, at least in terms of electricity and tokens. I believe we will eventually get to a place where running a nondeterministic computer process on open networks will be considered reckless on the same level as humans because their intelligence is similar. And that might be true, but where they get their data from is vastly different. Given our tasks, they are at the same level as requiring an employee to operate heavy machinery without training. There needs to be some kind of regulation that ensures the consequences fall on the responsible party.

Doesn't say anything about how much easier it is to learn to use .git/info/exclude WAYYY more! You use Cursor which creates .cursor? Cool! Put it in .git/info/exclude. No need to pollute the project .gitignore with that. .gitignore is for artifacts that arise from the natural building and testing of the software, as well as BOM consolidation. They're excellent at "can I swap X and Y pins on the micro? If yes, update the docs/firmware/schematic and import the changes to the PCB" type things. Routing is still a challenge but making _adjustments_ to a layout for better routing in a particular area is decent. The last time I had a model take a datasheet and make a footprint and 3d model out of it, GPT 5.4 had just been released and the results were decent but did need tweaking. $60 gaming PC's are doable if you buy an "untested" Dell Optiplex and get lucky.

The schematics for simpler stuff is usually OK, often with some of the world's best expertise in precision engineering, instrumentation, sensors, avionics, and other hard-tech subsystems. A huge amount of the expertise and supply chain for these components is concentrated in Europe. So what are we missing? Is it mainly systems integration, manufacturing scale, risk tolerance, organizational structure, or the willingness to iterate as aggressively as SpaceX? It feels like Europe has many of the pieces needed to build world-class launch systems, but hasn't yet put them together at the same scale and speed. ...as always, in Europe cool stuff is available 10 years later. I bet my ** GPT-6 will be one of those training boards and keep repeating till you master it, the trick is to heat the board and you put solder and wire on it, not how most beginners go by heating the solder itself. Flux and other things are there as an aux to help in certain cases. I have been working on this past week using 5.6sol and 3.8 flash. The models are excellent at doing maths, and excellent at thinking of fine details, but the design that was ultimately landed on was pretty excessive with lots of total overkill, which was met with lots of the familiar "Yeah, you're totally right, we don't need to do on a PCB.
