It reminds me of PCB auto routers: good for specific tedious tasks, but if you want it to do all the work for you, you'll probably spend as much time tweaking it as you would just doing the work.

To put a finer point on it: it's about as good as an ok new grad. Its output almost never works, it doesn't display much good judgement, but it's a decent starting point. Probably good for boilerplate work, a lot like software.

Open Standard Module (OSM) standard and specifications - SGET OSM provides an open standard for embedded computer modules that come in different packages for direct PCB soldering without connector.

The design and documentation for the Open Standard Module are really well done. I normally prefer connectorized SOMs over LGAs, but I could be swayed.

Vonnegut wrote Slaughterhouse Five to come to grips with the horrors he witnessed before and after the bombing of Dresden. And the big through line is those in favor of war have never experienced the cruelty, dehumanization or casual brutality of it. This mfer wouldn’t last a minute.

That's how I feel. I don't know what unmasking looks like, even after reading multiple books about it.

Today I told two people, on separate occasions, that I'm autistic. They both said, "I never would have known!" So today I learned that I'm a pretty good human impersonator.

Wearing sunglasses indoors:
1. Looks cool as hell
2. Helps with sensory issues
3. No one can tell you're zooted

I like it when people wear an N95 mask to avoid spreading disease. I dislike it when people wear balaclavas while assaulting, kidnapping, and murdering people. I'm just weird like that
