one million Claude Tokens (assuming you are on opus) = 5 USD = the very dongle you tried to replace. Add the cost of the rasberry pico, you'll have an easier time buying the wifi dongle. The project is cool thought to learn about networks, NAT, Proxys, ect...

#22Even better, no need to hassle with the WiFi settings on the target system.
In wrong hands, Pico W is actually a bit terrifying device, because it combines USB and wireless.

#24Interesting that Gemini said it was infeasible. It should be aware that using a Pico W as a transparent ethernet bridge has been done several times over in open source projects, for example on BlueSCSI (emulating a Daynaport SCSI-Ethernet adapter) and PicoMEM and my own PicoGUS project (emulating an NE2000 Ethernet adapter).
Exactly, bit banging an 8-bit bus isn't that different from pushing the data out of the USB port. It would be great to try an LLM trained on pre-1900 documents and ask it if powered flight is possible. Great work on PicoGUS.

But also, the author has given the community a great gift, both directly (the blog post and the project!) and indirectly (the idea: what else can be implemented in similar ways).

#29Google Gemini is that naysayer senior developer who confidently tells you it can’t be done. Claude is that easy to get along with smart hard working guy who just gets on with it and builds it double quick. ChatGPT is the eager senior developer who says it can be done but can’t actually work it out and fluffs it.
The only people I know who use Gemini are unemployed.
The only people I know who use Claude vibe-code everything, often including their communication -- they probably let Claude kiss their kids goodnight.
Everyone else uses ChatGPT, and the world is worse off for it.
They are machines. "it" is the only acceptable pronoun, and personifying these machines adds emotion into the discussion and the use of the tool. They are not people. They do not behave like people. If you feel like they do, and you're e.g. autistic, that's entirely fair, so please take my word that they do not behave sufficiently like people in any way.
Nothing they do mirrors the behavior of engineers. They instead mimic the language of engineers. I understand that this is all it takes in a lot of circles to gain respect, which is quite a sad state for those circles, but that doesn't mean its a universal experience.
