For reasonably complex boards, it’s often not possible to know if it’ll work as intended until you have an assembled prototype in hand… even if you have the best SPICE and RF simulations ever, data sheets for many components can be missing important details, or components can have errata.

LLMs may be able to accelerate time to first prototype, but I don’t think it’ll be possible for them to revolutionise electronics design in the same way that’s happened for software - there’s not enough data, and it’s not cheap to gather more.

Finally, a new development in lyric transcription! I’ve been waiting to see this for ages!

def get_lyrics(waveform, sr, cfg): # asr and wav2vec2 raise NotImplementedError()

I’ve thought about building something similar, but for an arbitrary number of sound sources, with a single flying fader, a small mono display for icons, and some buttons.

…hang on a minute, it already (kind of) exists: https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck-plus-black

I've been thinking about building a tiny, (relatively) cheap haptic knob. I wonder if this makes enough torque for it to feel right? Maybe with a big stator and a small knob.
