PCB routing is going to be the last engineering job that humans still need to do.

Unemployment project begins:
⛳ Announcing the PCBGolf challenge ⛳ $1000 cash for the smallest PCBA by October 12. You can try to use your clanker, but it can't do it. Are you better than an autorouter? github.com/commaai/PCBGolf

I used LaLaMo to review my schematic. I don’t have the budget to have it generate anything useful right now.
Astra + KiStack is a good match. Unfortunate that I already sent this to fab. Can you spot the issue? I didnt

My issue with Astra is that I currently have more time available to me than money...

How much are yall paying for astra because I burnt through a 5 hour limit in 45 minutes

Good thread. Guess I have weekend plans
Astra is *not* helpful for routing complicated PCBs 😐 I ran the BIGGEST public experiment testing its capabilities and here are the results, 2h20 on "/fast" and 15% of my 20x weekly limits later Details and files: github.com/jlcjak/astra_piNa… Small 🧵with my thoughts

This is the GPT-3.5 moment for electronics btw. my time to DDR5, as I estimated last year, was 2-3 years. So we're 1-2 years away from SW'e' type workflows w/ electronics design/development. Yay!

This is kinda my issue lately. Unfortunately I do not have 50k to blow on a home lab for hosting LLM
using fable 5.1 feels like this sometimes

I genuinely want to be excited about this but the likely token costs required don’t sit well with me
Replying to @ChatGPT
GPT-6 Astra is state-of-the-art on: 🌟 Computer use 🌟 Browsing 🌟 Agentic coding 🌟 Cybersecurity 🌟 Science 🌟 Professional work
