Re:Using AI to reverse engineer hardware on Thursday October 15, 2026 @11:26AM (#50105077)
That really must be scary. I'd hope at least in the world of music/audiophilia (where gold plates hdmi cables rule) you could focus on the upper ends of the market? Even if the sound is similar you hopefully will have an audience that appreciated the fit and finish and high quality components. Surely will be a challenge but when I see teardowns from China they almost always cheap out with paper caps and such. And while it may be exhausting perhaps you can turn it to your favor (where IP permits) to increase your product range? Godspeed though!

Nope. At least until 2008 I cared and Larry and Sergey cared quite a bit.
The hiring page says he raised $10m from LocalGlobe

Re:Resources to Get Good at Soldering? on Saturday September 05, 2026 @08:58AM (#49576094)
If you have the budget the Hakko desoldering gun is a huge huge improvement over desoldering by hand w copper. I've gone from hating it to desoldering junk to harvest parts because it's so easy.

are you claiming that people who have a smelly asshole are spreading it that way? I think it’s more around if there’s feces on the hands, but wiping your ass and washing your hands afterwards shouldn’t be a problem.
Cusp AI is doing interesting things in this space
Yep but they live with you for life on a DBS check, and you know that we brought up in a court of law if anything else happens to be against your favor
I live in a civilized European country and gravely miss the freedom of speech I had in the USA that I don't here. I'm terrified one tweet will get me jailed for 30 months.
After college I got a Pyrex 5L erlenmeyer flask as a wine decanter and it's served me well two and a half decades later. Always a fun topic when people see it for the first time.
Wow that's a sublime example of weapons grade autism on display with full self awareness.
Yep that sums it up. Scary.

I never understood why this is such a deal breaker. I just export The stl from Openscad then do fillets in Fusion. It's another step but usually only a few mins of clicking.
Bacteriophages are the answer.

I don't know I'm the same and find being in the valley more stressful than the drive to wembley from central London. More taxing mentally to have insane people passing you at 100mph. The licensing is harder but still was a one shot 5 hour prep thing for me.
Can you share what that means? To a non German speaker this is of no significance

How is that xenophobic? Poor form for you.
Why is Diego Garcia to Mauritius good for the USA?
Yeah except that's the 300 richest which changes the math of the tax take.
I think they did though. I remember several buddies from UIUC when I was in Folsom working solely on compilers
Why does anyone bother to respond to a throwaway?
It doesn't reflect their existing views so many will pile on with glee sadly.

I thought this meant JavaScript promises and was worried Promise.all() was turning into some meta database for badly architected applications :)
