  • PCBs are basically designed using graphic editors. The editors all have their own standards and don’t really import pure text pass the netlist. Simply importing from one to the other is quite painful.

    It’s basically trying to build a really really complicated SVG and llms struggle with simple svgs. And that’s only the Gerber, there’s also the whole schematic that needs to be done first from which the Gerber is built from.

    PCB design tools are basically made to make our lives easier and avoid mistakes, but it makes it incredibly difficult for any kind of LLM, even before we hit all the intricacies involved in it.















  • Ya, it isn’t easy. I try to watch my tone but certain subjects still get the worst out of me (mostly Israel, Steam fanclub and AI).

    I also noticed I associate points of views in my head and I’ll respond to a comment with the associated point in mind and not what the person was actually saying. Fair to say I’m not close to always being right either, so it’s rough reading the convo a day later and realizing I was being a dick for nothing.

    And ya, most people have complex and pragmatic opinions, but we end up turning them into 2d caricatures with only the most extreme parts being kept when arguing with them. It’s hard to be fair when arguing online, very easy to label gratuitously.


  • He probably made an alt. He was probably embarrassed tbh. He spent most of his time talking about how his daughter’s life was in danger so he had to leave the US, then spent his 6 month visa surfing Lemmy 24/7 instead of looking for a job. Obviously he had to go back.

    Worth noting he was part of the brigade that would downvote any post critical of Israel. He stopped posting the same month lemvotes went online so that might have to do with it as well.

    Tbh I might be biased. I did not like him at all. The moment he was challenged on anything, he would fall into the grossest rhetoric. Huge dick to argue with (and not just with me but I saw it constantly when reading comment threads with him in it). Super hard-headed, althought I’m probably not one to speak.
