Based on my own modestly successful forays into that world, I have to imagine one problem the LLMs have in that space is terrible training data. A good three quarters of any search result you search for in that space will be straight-up out-of-date and not work on your system. Then you've got all the tiny variations between dozens of chipsets, and all the confidently wrong people on the internet telling you to do nonsensical things, entire ecosystems that basically poofed out of existence three years ago but are still full of all kinds of juicy search terms and Google juice... if I can hardly paw through this stuff with years of experience and the physical hardware right in front of me to verify claims with, I don't know how an LLM is supposed to paw through all that and produce a valid answer to any question in that space, without its own hardware to fiddle with directly.


You’re making my eye twitch.

The number of projects I’ve done where my notes are the difference between hours of relearning The Way or instant success. Google doesn’t work as some niche issue is blocking the path.

ESP32, Arduino, Home Assistant And various media server things.
