People who think prompt engineering is just trying stuff at random until you get the results you hoped for: I have bad news for you about how the majority of programmers work.

i often talk about how the difference between engineering and design isn't methods but objectives an engineer's job is to figure out how to do something at all, or how to do it quantitatively "better" when they start work, the question of whether they should even be doing it is assumed settled

“If the last few weeks have shown anything, it is the danger of an unreflected and unrestrained "engineering mindset" that believes it can make any system "more efficient" without considering its history, cultural specificity and the social consequences of its own actions.”

#RFBitBanger’s #SCAMP mode is now in FLDigi, which is great news. It’s now even easier to use. If you want to get involved with this new mode and also build your skills with a very special low power HF radio kit, please visit our eBay listing for kits at www.ebay.com/itm/36478…

Happy Documentation Day! Fridays are #documentation days at ORI. We take some time to write up what we’ve been doing, what we have planned, what we might need, and if there’s any roadblocks. A few lines are good enough to honor and celebrate the #volunteer #opensource mindset.

Good news - RF Loopback for #OpulentVoice works. Build your own version on a PLUTO SDR here: github.com/OpenResea… OPV is rapidly moving through some big milestones. Imagine an #opensource HT with excellent voice quality and data - no clunky separate packet mode.

Streaming data from DMA is working for #OpulentVoice on the #PLUTO SDR. This is an innovative #opensource #digital communications mode that has very high voice quality (no more awful AMBE/CODEC2 low bit rate harshness) and handles voice and data without you having to switch to a clunky packet mode.

Bluesky sent me a note. I was apparently #461,803 on here, which is in the first 10%. I would not have guessed that, since I figured I was late to the party when I got an invitation from @nondim.com It's been a good experience so far. I write about open source digital radio & regulatory justice.

If the Catholic Church is being represented to the general public like it is at my former parish, and if all parishes treat good volunteers like that one treats theirs, then it is no secret why there's a breathtaking downdraft in engagement and energy in US religious life. JFC get a goddamn clue.

#RFBitBanger native digital mode (SCAMP) is now in FLDigi, and we have a #defcon special going on over at ebay.com/itm/36478… for this fun and accessible kit. Through-hole only soldering, supportive community, and makes a great gift for radio enthusiasts.
