What AI Actually Is

Running a chat model is not AI. The training process is. Everything else follows from that distinction, including where the human niche survives.

From the UAT to the Modern Neural Network

We have the bit. Now the question is what we can compute with it, and whether a machine can learn to compute things nobody explicitly programmed. The answer runs from Hilbert through Turing to a theorem most engineers have never heard of.

A Hill I Am Willing to Die On: HDL for PCB Netlists

Schematics are not where PCB design should start. Netlists should be generated from a structured hardware description language, and that changes everything about how AI fits into the picture.

Are Machines Conscious? A Snapshot

What does consciousness mean — and where on that spectrum do beetles, dogs, humans, and language models sit? No final answers, but an honest attempt to think the question through.

Zero to One: A Personal Journal Bot with Telegram and Gemini

I spent a day building a Dockerized Telegram bot that turns voice messages and scattered thoughts into a structured journal, Obsidian topic notes, and a compiled LaTeX memoir — and what I learned about LLM APIs along the way.

If We Can Measure It, You Can Improve It

Why we build monitoring systems — the case for industrial automation as human liberation, retrofit over greenfield, and why the sensor is the critical missing link between AI and the physical world.

PCB Design Starts With a README

Before opening KiCad, create a README and let an LLM generate a PlantUML block diagram. Why writing design intent first prevents costly PCB mistakes — with a worked STM32F7 example.
