    Same as claude?

    We have to use Claude at my job, as in they check out token usage

    The other day I had to build a prototype using some development boards and decided to leave everything to claude. I gave it the datasets and told it what I needed to do and it created completely incorrect schematics, like hallucinating a LED on the board, adding a serial interface to some pins that are not related, confusing tx and rx on another set of pins, saying that it needed 12V when it is 3-5V, it even added some capacitors to some pins that weren’t even in use. I had to go thru maybe 10 iterations and burned a bunch of tokens, basically I had to do it manually

    The only thing it surprises me every time is the code, that usually runs with no errors on the first try. It’s just not very clean but it is ok for my needs









  • Similar. I am/was the go to for my family regarding technology. Last year my uncle asked me about laptops for her daughter that was about to enter college and I had no idea. I have been using an inexpensive core i3 for the past 7 years with linux for my personal laptop and my work changes me my laptop wave 2 or 3 years but it is so bloated that it never feels fast and I no longer have any idea about the trends or requirements nowadays

    I used to have 2 custom PCs and upgraded them little by little every time I found something interesting on sale









  • Similar timing, a friend introduced me to Ubuntu around 2005 or 2006 and dualbooted for a while and always had a live USB with me. Tried many distros, I think openSuse was my favorite for a while and then switched to OSX86 until I got a laptop at my job (with windows) and I got a tablet so I stopped having a personal computer until about 5 years ago when I got a very cheap laptop that turned to crap when it “upgraded” to Windows 11 and that’s when I discovered linux

    My biggest issue with self learning is that I used chmod 777 to try to fix everything since most of the time it “worked”
