Soldering the Tek way (hackaday.com)
For a lot of us, soldering just seems to come naturally. But if we’re being honest, none of us was born with a soldering iron in our hand — ouch! — and if we’re good at soldering now, it’s only thanks to good habits and long practice. But what if you’re a company that lives and dies by the quality of the solder joints your employees produce? How do you get them to embrace the dark art of soldering?

All You Need Is 4x 4090 GPUs to Train Your Own Model (sabareesh.com)
My journey into Large Language Models (LLMs) began with the excitement of seeing ChatGPT in action. I started by exploring diffusion models, drawn to their ability to create beautiful visuals. However, working on an M1 chip had its limitations, which motivated me to build a custom rig with an NVIDIA 4090 GPU. As I continued to explore LLMs and experimented with multi-agent systems, I came to realize the importance of mastering the fundamentals.
