@SebJohnsonUK @fractile_ai In an era when AI and software startups appear and die every day, everyone has forgotten about hardware, where only a handful of companies dominate the market and competition is minimal compared to the IT/software sector

Be unemployed

Only do what you want

You’re in this world to be conscious

I noticed that across the entire infosec space everyone talks about tor as a means of anonymous internet use, however, when using tor, you 1. let your provider know about it, 2. with traffic analysis it's easy to narrow down the circle for deanonymization, by looking at packet send times

this problem is exactly what Loopix addresses. in short, it works based on technology using Poisson mixing (independed message delays), which makes analyzing your traffic a pointless task, because at the same node at every moment in time packets arrive from different users, and each one waits its own random delay, on the output the order of packets gets shuffled naturally. Loopix is somewhat similar to Tor, since a connection before connecting to the target site passes through three nodes of the mix-network, at each of which it is protected by an additional layer of encryption

on the basis of Loopix there is already a ready mix-network: https://t.co/6DNZCdyUcf. it is more complex than Tor in implementation. in Tor we deal with regular TCP connections through a chain of nodes, while Nym works based on messages of fixed size (about 2 KB of useful payload per packet). if the data to send takes more space, then the file is split into smaller portions and then sent

quite a promising technology, considering that on its basis you can create quite familiar services, similar to mail or SaaS products.

while everyone is crying about how the current tech job market is cooked, these real mfs are gaining SWE jobs at 16

recently found a very interesting project – Cremniy. It's an IDE for embedded development. The project is still in development, so they don't have an installer, and some of the functionality hasn't been finalized yet. However, the concept is very interesting. The program combines everything needed for low-level development: hex viewer, disassembler, code editor, etc. I'm a contributor to the project; I added a feature for working with .ioc-files for STM32 projects

Every day, life gives us thousands of different opportunities - a chance to change, a chance to start over, or a chance to show a different side of ourselves and discover new talents. The most important thing is not to let these opportunities slip away, for fate may never offer a second chance

@TheVixhal SWEs are preferring to continue coping instead of pivoting to a more valuable area

@coolcoder56 Claude code goes brrr

@CollinRugg Too expensive for an almost usual drone, isn’t it?

[Elisedd @elisedd14]

@Shitty_Future More difficult, yet no more effective

@yacineMTB Man, just use Altium…

[Elisedd @elisedd14]

@yacineMTB keep in mind, that there's no way to fully vibecode something in EE

[Elisedd @elisedd14]

Yeah, an LLM can read a datasheet and connect the pins. But try getting an AI to route a DC-DC converter without the whole board turning into a giant EMI antenna. Good luck with that. I think the real bottleneck isn’t drawing lines in Altium, it’s the 10 hours you spend with a spectrum analyzer chasing ghosts in the analog front-end
