Title: Beans are screaming
Post by: benh on July 10, 2025, 08:26:32 AM
From the Album "Solder and Rust"... Ok that was a bad ozzie joke :-) I'm on a roll this week, here's my Beanscream :-) I went for BJT input buffer because I'm short on JFETs, and I'm happy to get an idea of what the OG sounds like but I can always 'upgrade' later :-)

Cheers !

I wish it was "art" :-) I couldn't draw a thing if my life depended on it ... So that's the output of some AI on the internet that I coerced into doing something not too far from what I wanted :-)

Frankly this is the most use I ever had for AI :-) We get quite the pressure in my day job to adapt to AI or be replaced (SW engineer) but so far, apart from being a glorified google summarising the worse answers from StackOverflow, I found AI to be mostly a waste of time, at least when tackling anything moderately complicated.

The other great tool is vectorizer.ai ! It takes the PNG output from Gemini or chatgpt and produces excellent quality vector graphics that I can then import into Inkscape (I then use Scribus to generate the final layered pdf with the right spot colors for Tayda. No commercial software involved, all in Linux :-)
