Hi, I'm an embedded systems engineer/architect bridging the full compute spectrum of ultra-low power IoT, edge systems, and HPC.

My latest projects have been in full-stack edge ML R&D, memory controller firmware dev for POWER servers, and chip bringup/testing for Z mainframes.

I'm passionate about modular synthesis and tinkering with all sorts of analog circuits and DSP. Currently upskilling in analog PCB design and refining my abilities in FPGA development. Also WIP on a 3D-printed robot arm to practice control systems and actuation.

curious on what made you switch from webdev to embedded

I was never in webdev, per se. I switched from "fullstack" (which included backend+frontend as well as mobile/firmware/ML) to hardware eng at IBM, and then widened back out again to R&D Engineering at a startup to work on a patent. I had always wanted to be closer to hardware/embedded and anything that involves sensor-laden and/or RF-enabled systems so it was a natural progression for me.

I was a proponent initially of CLI when Claude integration with VSCode required a WSL instance, but now that it is integrated directly into VSCode I feel one grouping of tooling hiccups is now ruled out in my workflow. The only (major) nitpick I have is that it wont let you finish typing and cuts you off when asking whether/how to proceed.

Oh how I wish we could know what Iain M. Banks thinks of the LLM revolution...

Maybe it even is happening but will never reach us from their local observable sphere.

Guess it's good that space expands faster than the speed of light.

Very impressive stuff. I used to frequent the JS demoscene, mostly dwitter - but this is on a whole other level.

Oh shit, this prompted me to check and turns out TinyTapeout is back to life! https://tinytapeout.com/

"Protect and Serve" (the State)

(the status quo)

Accurate. Systemic perturbations are typically bad for most "old money".

So, to make sure I understand what you are saying - any person whose life is gripped by intense interest in something and simultaneously they are irreligious is lesser or on the wrong path?

Personally, I learned on lead-free solder and the rosin core is almost always enough flux for me aside from rework. Always use an extractor/filter either way.

In an ideal world we function in exactly this way - using LLMs to bootstrap our skill/knowledge improvement journeys.
