    Here, the author used a much less domain-specific LLM and it sounds like it produced good results. This made me wonder about other's experiences using LLMs to produce both CAD and …

    I wish I could just go back to the days before AI and cell phones. The world seemed to move fast then, but it really hadn't yet.

    Like some others have said, couldn't this be just another "look how amazing AI is" marketing test from OpenAI with the goal of hyping up AI's capabilities in an attempt to make peo…

    I may not be a "typical" engineer as much anymore, in that I don't seem to be excited by knowing the intricate details of how things work as much as I enjoy knowing the capabilitie…

    Very true, and all I am basing my comment on is the improvement in speed AI has demonstrated when applied to software development, and inferring it might enable a similar 10X or 10…

    With the pace of AI, and with AI helping to pave the way for faster/better AI, I keep wondering if hardware like this will become obsolete well before it has a meaningful ROI. Huge…

    I know a lot of level-headed engineers here may not side with me, but I say let the companies who abandoned their people at the drop of a hat, with CEOs who waved their flag around…

    What was really behind the push to get everything browser based in the first place? Is this all to make everything cloud based, software as a service, or did some exec see a demo o…

    I'd love to know how you got your book into the public eye. What kind of marketing and sales channels did you target to get noticed? Thanks

    What, no mention of SoftIce or IDA? What about W32Dasm? OllyDBG? Even WinDbg has a place.

    How is having local AI going to produce a result that's any better than using OpenAI or Anthropic? Isn't what we really need programmers who rely on themselves more than AI so they…

    I always wanted to get into RF design, but couldn't find it within the mega company I work for (we integrate more than we design at the component level). RF design has always been …
