New ManT1S #prototype delivery from @jlcpcb.bsky.social ! 👀 #electronics #pcb #maker #esp32 @crowdsupply.bsky.social www.crowdsupply.com/silicognitio...

Beautiful 😍 Makes you wonder what else those little ESP32 chips are capable of!

I decided it was kind of important to make sure the ManT1S is #compatible with the (only?) other T1S board on the market, the #Arduino SPE Shield. Yep, it works! 😉 @officialarduino.bsky.social @microchip-makes.bsky.social #embedded #networking #esp32 Sign up at www.crowdsupply.com/silicognitio... 🙏

no, just no

Gotta make shit up to make it seem like you're doing something to keep the grift money flowing

New awareness campaign

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Working on more #demo #hardware for the ManT1S @crowdsupply.bsky.social #campaign, highlighting the advantage of a #modular approach. (Locally extendable with more sensors, still to come!) Just one twisted pair running down the arm for #power and #communication! www.crowdsupply.com/silicognitio...

Here's a handy guide to some electronic components.

I wish I "understood" #homeassistant better. It all seems very nebulous and opaque. "Magic is happening" kind of stuff with various terms that seem to have very specific meanings in the context of HA. Is there some good #introduction #video or article someone can recommend? #homeautomation

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Is building something with tie straps "proper" enough for a @crowdsupply.bsky.social campaign #video or is it too hokey? 😳😅 #maker #lowtech #demo #wired #networking www.crowdsupply.com/silicognitio...

I do not claim to know why we are on this planet, but I am very certain we are not born to start a mission where we optimize every single little thing in our lives. I think it's just not good for the spirit.

OK, having heard a report on some AI bracelet which is always recording audio with the idea that you could go back and audit your day's interactions or ask it questions about what you did that day... look if you actually want this I think you're forgetting what it means to be human.

And how many softwares have you compiled at your last position? We require candidates to have compiled at least 4!

It's like developers and companies have forgotten that you can do stuff like this with a local microcontroller, and using the local network, without needing any cloud components. www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Working on #campaign #video demos for the ManT1S! Turning this dumb floodlight into a #smart networked one. Do you think T1S Single Pair Ethernet will work over that fat repurposed #power cable? Stay tuned! 😉😁 #IoT #homeautomation www.crowdsupply.com/silicognitio...

Software engineer salaries are going to be crazy high after the LLM companies spend years enabling everyone to create mountains of technical debt then go bankrupt.

Using ChatGPT

- Is this pin 5V-tolerant? - Great question! Yes it is! ✨ - I just fed it 5V and now the chip is dead... - You're absolutely right! This pin is not 5V-tolerant ✨

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

how sad to continue seeing websites that still do not have a minimum of accessibility looking at you: hackaday.com

AI companies are pumping that financial bubble to new heights in creative ways. www.reuters.com/business/amd...

In other news, since I just worked on it for the ManT1S, so I remembered how to do it 😅, I finally updated the #arduino support for the wESP32. RTL8201 PHY is now default, you can select flash size 4MB/16MB with appropriate partitions! #esp32 #embedded github.com/espressif/ar...

At that rate just flip a coin. It's going to be faster, cheaper, and you won't be contributing to the poisoning of communities living near AI data centers...

tbh, this tracks if you know it transformed software dev for the worse, and that agentic productivity is actually less productive...

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Police say they can’t arrest the thieves who cleared out my house as it was my responsibility to opt out of being robbed by them.

hey did you know: dragonfly nyphs have thrust vectoring in their assholes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq_t...

LAN867x support required to program the ManT1S with #esphome was merged upstream! 🥳🎉 Now you will be able to very simply use ManT1S for @home-assistant.io nodes when connected to your #network with a ManT1S-Bridge! github.com/esphome/esph... www.crowdsupply.com/silicognitio...

esp32 work on a breadboard can be a pain because of not being able to get to the pins on one side or the other. I finally broke down and joined 2 breadboards and it does make access to all pins easier.

Checking ManT1S at 75V... yep just fine! 💪⚡️ So even if you're not interested in T1S networking, you might want to check it out just to have an #ESP32 #microcontroller board that can handle high voltage! 😋 www.crowdsupply.com/silicognitio...

Also #progress on ManT1S #ESPhome support! First successful #compile and #boot. Took quite a bit of fiddling with the YAML to overrule the pin validator and add the LAN867x component. Not sure if there's a better way to do this. 🤔 Any ESPHome experts here?

Progress on the #software #support side: LAN867x and ManT1S #board support were just added to the #ESP32 #Arduino core! 🥳 github.com/espressif/ar... github.com/espressif/ar... Should be included in the next release. Props to the ESP32 Arduino devs: that went really fast and smoothly!

Waking up from a #dream where you're being chased by a Grizzly Bear is not exactly an ideal start of the day. 😬

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Sorry, just catching up to the news, I see once again they made it even thinner this time.

ManT1S is on the front page of EE Journal! 🤯 Thank you Max Maxfield for the great column! Check it out 👇! #electronic #engineering #magazine #frontpage www.eejournal.com/article/meet...

#Performance is a bit #overrated when it comes to passing messages between #embedded nodes. I mean, most get by just fine with #serial ports talking at 115.2 kpbs or something like that.

One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review.

How do these people go through life, they have not read anything communicated by the manufacturer beyond headlines. All the questions they have have been answered multiple times. They are fully on track and actually shipping containers out as communicated.
