@Siddhant__rao @kicad_pcb not up to the costing stage yet - and I'll be making it open source - so you'll be able to make your own - and make it smaller ;)

Super busy day in @kicad_pcb today - Here's the updated design for my ESP32-S3 Smart USB 2.0 6 Port Hub I was assembling on my stream last week. Now includes powering monitoring per port via 2x INA3221 ICs and a temp/humidity sensor. #maker #pcbdesign

@Siddhant__rao @kicad_pcb Why does it need to be smaller? What functional reason would making it smaller make it better?

@chachacodes @kicad_pcb Actually, I just pulled the Gerber's fro the order and I'm fixing the copper under the sensor now. That said, the sensor IS for the PCB/Device temp and not for ambient/atmosphere.

@chachacodes @kicad_pcb Good call on the copper under the sensor - next revision I guess :( Yes it has per port device insert detection, power control, current and voltage sensing & RGB LED indicators.

I'm getting closer to being able to show what I've been working on for the longest time... but I'm not quite there yet, so instead, I thought I'd throw up a teaser image "with product branding removed" - because I'm an ass ;) #maker #electronics #projects

@zerohimself @AnthropicAI Oh wow, that sucks - contact them, I'm sure they'll sort out the extra charge.

@AnthropicAI Seriously? This is Fable 5 in a brand new project, first session, clear exact rules written in Claude's own words in Claude's memory - at the very start. Opus 4.7 was frustrating but productive, 4.8 was 50/50 at best and Fable 5? Unproductive since release :(

@TGatliff @xph1l I have an M2Max Studio with 64GB of RAM - And it's my daily driver... It's just not enough to run anything useful locally :( If the RAM shortages ever go away, I might get an M5 Max Studio with 128GB - and try running locally, but that's not going to happen any time soon!

WOW, Opus 4.8 and latest claude-code is THE WORST update @AnthropicAI have released to-date. Insanely terrible. But, I guess, the fact that Claude is honest about its screw-ups offsets the constant screwups .... right???? maybe??? NOT AT ALL! My first 3 tasks with 4.8...

@xph1l They are doing a great job of making me not want to use it anymore. ChatGPT/Codex is no different - it's a real race to the bottom.

I just told claude to read my heap_allocation_optimisation.md doc/rule-set, and then got it to implement a feature, and Claude broke almost every heap allocation rule in the document....Right after reading it. But at least, when challenged, claude "owned the mistake" #facepalm

And then the actual first edit results boot looped my target device, and after pasting the stack trace back to Claude - it's fix was to change totally unrelated code - and the boot loop continued in the identical way. Seriously? Did I miss something about this update?

When your 3D print uses 65% of the filament just for the supports and takes 75% of the total time to print those supports.... #ouch #3dprinting #design
