@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeAdded a "free play area" to the otherwise unused space in the corner of the ReworkCTF board. Just a bunch of fine pitch traces on various layers, some 0402 footprints, and some vias - not wired to anything else, just a playground for circuit edit practice.
Plus a pair of crossing trace pairs on L1 and L2 that might be fun to do something with.
@Ruhrnalist@mastodon.socialWow, toll!

@trochee@dair-community.socialOne of the reasons I am cranky about LLMs is that they take some of the joy out of casual, flamboyant bullshitting-as-a-spectator-sport
For example, the telling of "tall tales", the game commercially known as "Balderdash" (in my extended family we played it as "Fictionary" and used the OED), "slideshow karaoke", bluffing at Scrabble, and this:

@lpryszcz@genomic.socialWe urgently need to overcome the capitalist law of value and democratise our economy, so that we can organise production around urgent social and ecological priorities. After all, we are the producers of the goods, the services, the technologies. It is our labour and our planet’s resources that are at stake. And so we must claim the right to decide what is produced, how, and for what purpose.

It had a habit of guessing wrong about character encodings, so by the time the data reached my zone of responsibility it was often solidly mojibake.
So two of us wrote a module that tried to guess at the (noisy-channel) transcodings that got us here & reverse them (used a simple "what language is this" filter to evaluate candidates).
