The cat's out of the bag! My latest book, "The Secret Life of Circuits", is available in early access:

https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/blog/secret/

It's the reference I wish I had when I was starting out. Electrons to embedded systems, 290+ color illustrations and 420+ pages of well-explained theory.

The Secret Life of Circuits

Many of you follow this blog because of the regular features about electronic circuit design.

Stolen from the nerdiscord.

Oh my god the "PUBLIC INTEREST" section is a giant love fest over all the things that AI isn't actually doing. Don't worry guys, if you launch data centers into orbit, they are way greener! There's always solar power in space! Please just ignore all the rocket exhaust, ablation products, and shit hitting the ground... Also the fact that data centers in space are almost certainly physically impossible...

AI business models could work if Moore‘s Law still held. But it no longer does.

Token costs are not going down. Worse, answers use more of them to become better, in order to convince people it is all worth it.

The latest model burns so much money that Anthropic is unwilling to let people use it (yet wants to boast).

There is no cost-equivalent replacement for brains. So far, maybe never. Evolution is hard to beat.

Which is where you can feel good about yourself!🤗

When a company ends support for the last version of a given #software product compatible with any subset of the supported #hardware, or ends support for a given software product altogether, or ends support for a software-controlled hardware product, the warranty #disclaimer, limitation of #liability, indemnity, and related #EULA terms should be deemed without force or effect regarding any future harms resulting from software defects unless the company releases all information and legal permissions necessary for arbitrary independent parties to patch those defects and distribute and install those patches.

Either release the complete and corresponding source code (including any keys necessary to install or run a compiled version) with a license to make and distribute fixes, or fix your up stuff forever, or face unlimited liability for the consequences of your refusal to fix or allow fixing.
