@techAU Well isn't he a bloody genius. Fat chance of keeping tech companies in Oz.

[thort werx @thort_werx]

@RonShamgar The other problem is that AI is replacing the need to visit a lot of the sites that use canva to build the site.

@eevblog @rationalaussie But if you file an honest return, you have nothing to worry about.

@geerlingguy Only if it comes with Sam Altman to push it around and then make himself scarce in between cuttings .

Big thanks to @chiptronCZ for covering Picotronix. Děkujeme! 🙏 Great to see interest from the Czech maker community.

@RositaDaz48 Check out https://t.co/y5v3D7tpR2 we can make this work and keep it very secure.

@guernicapic @brivael And Mac lifted from Xerox. Be complete!

@MWsatware @Raspberry_Pi Check out https://t.co/YJn7VB5jKL twonpoco units for a DSO and LSA plus electronic lab for teaching circuits.

@The_Genuine_G @_mctrinh Then someone Nick's it !

If you think you have something new, patent it, or you can kiss it goodbye. This is what worries me with the over the top valuations for all these AI companies. They will be duplicated, and when most of the work is by AI likely IP protection will be down the gurgler in it as well.

@SunnyvaleSBay You need to get more efficient. I spend about 300 bucks a month for Claude 20. I try and do a lot of the work and planning myself using it as a coworker and are well along the process of changing both internet security and online advertising. All available to see progress online!

[thort werx @thort_werx]

@eevblog Reckon Claude will not be far behind. An interesting dilemma as current pricing makes it worth having it do stuff you could do yourself, but can't be bothered. That changes when cost escalates. Real bind for AI companies and why anyone wants into their IPO's beats me.

[thort werx @thort_werx]

We have a solution in the works. We have designed ( needs custom silicon) a display with dual input. One channel for host, second for a secure processor that provides a third channel for an PR2350 built into phones, tablets, laptops. All three have access to any pixel on the display. Th pi chip can then use host resources. Tablets and laptops will expose gpio pins for external access. Visit https://t.co/sjRM02piMR for virtual interactive demo and details of how we do this. Would be very interested in feedback or are we just plain crazy!

An oscilloscope built on two Raspberry Pi Pico 2s, designed to hand what it captures to AI.

The Pico 2 captures the signal. The Pico 2 W runs the display and links to your PC or phone. Our Picogram protocol packages each capture so an AI can analyse it and suggest the next step (that software is still to be written).

Plug in the dual 100 MSPS ADC picoPod and it samples at 75 MSPS on a stock 150 MHz RP2350. All programmable in MicroPython.

@Raspberry_Pi Because it is a Rasp Berry, not Ras Berry!

@geerlingguy @BeldenInc @HomelabFest I have an even longer shot question. Do you know anyone who could convince you to look at https://t.co/R91IhvBz0Q our dual Pico 2 based DSO and LSA in preview on Kickstarter. And who might be able to convince you to run it thru its paces. Just saying. Thank Jeff

Hi Dave, we're in Sydney and built Picotronix, a modular oscilloscope and logic state analyser based on two Raspberry Pi Pico 2s, with plug-in pods including a dual 100 MSPS ADC. Designed by our co-founder Norm Jackson, who won the Circuit Cellar design competition back in '98. Happy to drop one round for your feedback. https://t.co/XNq66sRIC5

Picotronix, our modular oscilloscope and logic state analyser based on two @Raspberry_Pi Pico 2 units (Pico 2 + Pico 2 W), is in Kickstarter pre-launch.

More: https://t.co/XNq66sRIC5

Designed by Norm Jackson, who won a @circuitcellar design competition in 1998, now harnessing the RP2350's programmable state machines, and programmable in MicroPython.

It has an integrated LCD, and our Picogram protocol is designed to send captured signals to phones, PCs and AI for further analysis and advice.

The hard part? Filming the video, with Sydney Airport, gremlins and Moose the dog: https://t.co/DjYTbKHZTZ
