Here's Our First Gemini Deep Think LLM-Assisted Hardware Design
We've been using LLMs for software and firmware for years... now we're trying hardware. Threw a MAX44009 datasheet at Gemini Deep Think, asked for an EagleCAD library file, and about 10 minutes later it popped out working XML. Loaded it in Eagle, checked the pins and dimensions, rolled with it.
@cocaine_owlbear Can't reply to them directly 'cause I've defederated fosstodon already...but I did send them an email, after which the account I've had since 2018 got deleted. ZERO tolerance for this bullshit anymore.
I'm a software dev. I've seen the kind of code these things produce. It'll pass your test cases and then fail catastrophically the moment you try to actually use it. And then they give it to me to fix it and it's like something out of an obfuscated code contest, damn near unintelligible, and the only solution is for me to do a full rewrite. If they're building their hardware like that and then just "rolling with it" then I can't trust a single damn product they produce...
And this is PARTICULARLY egregious for a company that mostly sells to amateurs who might not have the skills or tools to determine if it's a faulty component; they'll be sitting there thinking THEY did something wrong!
@malachai @cocaine_owlbear No, *I* defederated fosstodon ages ago.
Edit: Because they were run by bigots. Zero tolerance for that shit too.
