I'll update it this weekend with the updated AI-generated fun (and correct the flat-out ai-generated lies in the README). Meanwhile, you can see the project here. https://github.com/knicholes/ah-my-groin-button

Ohhhhhh! Yes, that's exactly the problem. It all makes sense now. I was just piecing together an existing microcontroller and a mp3 module by printing a custom circuit board.

I'll acknowledge that I don't know what I'm talking about. I really appreciated the clarity! Surely you find value in knowing that creating your own custom chips is almost doable by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about! (also, I am a troll, but in this case, just clueless)

Right. KiCAD for PCB design. Blender for 3D CAD. Oh, are you saying I should have used something other than the KiCAD MCP server for better results?

I tried making a button using Claude entirely (including the 3D printed enclosure) and it effed up pretty hard with the traces and the header spacing. The project was a big red arcade button that plays the "ah-my-groin.mp3" when pushed (from Simpsons). It did cool work on saving battery life, and the 3d enclosure was awesome, but yeah, I'm convinced I'd have to do another version or two of the custom chip until it came back right. I used a Blender MCP for the 3d modeling. I used a KiCAD MCP server for the chip design/validation.

I think we're not there yet. I've been meaning to look at this flux.ai to see if it has the prompts/workflow worked out better than what I was able to cobble together in a few hours. Maybe Alteryx's MCP server would have been better. I'll try that this weekend for another board I've got.

I just don't see how you could have read the title (and comments) and not figured out that PwC was Papers With Code as a human, especially as it's mentioned in the comment with that acronym.

Are you a bot? Look in the title. Papers with code.

Everyone is criticizing the number of lines of code and the lack of attention that must certainly have been applied to generate that code and push it into production. What is being ignored is this awesome prompt that is almost certainly better than having no agents.md or plans.md or whatever you've come up with, to add validation steps for committed changes. You're still free to look at your code, the changes, and ask the agent to clean up. Try it. It's really nice.

He didn't consider the possibility of renting it out during the downtime to Vast.ai to make some money back.

Oh yeah, I bought a few different types of ear plugs to test them out. The silicone putty and the loops left my ears sweaty. I'd pull them out at night to dry them out. Tmi, I know, sorry, but yeah, I tried 'em.

My suspicion from regular use of ear plugs is that the wax sticks to the plug every night. I use a new set every night. Pretty wasteful, but man, I need my sleep.

At work, I've found a strong moral resistance within my colleagues against anything involving Elon Musk and which data he allows to be used to train his models.

Look at the comments. They're here, too. "So, we have: - claude for corps and gov - codex for devs - grok for what, roleplay, racism? Those are the two things I've ever heard grok associated with around me."

I'm sorry. I meant to say "refurbished." https://www.dell.com/en-us/dfh/lp/outlet

Are you otherwise well off? How do you define "big?"

After discovering Dell Alienware clearance and graphics card availability in those Alienware computers, I haven't felt the need to build a computer for the last five years.

Yikes, what a flippant comment. The mix composition (meta's AI is helping with this) is separate from the wet concrete product. The parent is suggesting a way to test that the mix is properly mixed before pouring, not suggesting a way for construction workers to determine that the chemical properties of the mix will be correct on site. Furthermore, they're not even using LLMs, so it's not "AGI".

Honestly some of the most fun I had playing Ultima Online was writing scripts to play it for me.
