I have a large amount of code logging using logrus, and it's basically abandonware now that slog is in Go standard.
Big problem.
I spent some time getting Claude Code to make me a full drop-in replacement for logrus. I moved my biggest project to slog in sub 1 hour with this. Quality wise I think the generated outcome is pretty good - I would not have done it this well as its super tedious work.
I can gradually move to slog for new code with a aim to eradicate logrus…

Automated HEMT Model Construction from Datasheets via Multi-Modal Intelligence and Prior-Knowledge-Free Optimization
Parameter extraction for industry-standard device models like ASM-HEMT is crucial in circuit design workflows. However, many manufacturers do not provide such models, leaving users to build them using only datasheets. Unfortunately, datasheets lack sufficient information for standard step-by-step extraction. Moreover, manual data extraction from datasheets is highly time-consuming, and the absence of a fully automated method forces engineers to perform tedious manual work. To address this chall…

Tried Wayland Plasma 6 on openSUSE on a ThinkPad P14s G5 AMD last night:
-Firefox doesn't render properly
-TrackPoint is nearly unusably twitchy and doesn't respond to speed/acceleration settings
-Input latency makes it difficult to control the mouse pointer accurately
That was enough for me to log out and return to an X session. Once they finish deleting X11 from all distros and removing any X support from modern DEs, I guess I'll just get a Mac. We had a …

Beyond QWERTY: A pressure-based text input approach for XR that enables a touch-typing like experience
Text input in extended reality (XR) applications remains inefficient and tedious. Most solutions are derived from the traditional keyboard layout, yet fail to translate its positive characteristics to the spatial digital realm. This limits the productive use of immersive technologies. In this work, we analyze physical keyboard input to identify key characteristics that facilitate its comfort, touch typing and high typing speeds. Building on these findings, we propose a novel pressure- based tex…

Techies are always chasing the mythical tool that will let them "focus on the work" and avoid tedious distractions like "talking to people." AI tools are only the latest to promise this impossible dream.
But talking to people IS the work. You can complain about it on the internet, or take responsibility and make your life a lot easier.

Can Designers Avoid Meetings?
LLMs are not the first tool to promise that they can free us from having to talk to people so we can "focus on the work." But talking to people IS the work.
