if people are going to use the evil slop machine for reverse engineering the least they could do is reverse engineer like, proprietary video or audio drivers from big corps instead of reverse engineering old games and then slopping up the retro scene with it

Hey Stanford, you’re gonna need a new name for a building
Huang center dedicated, lauded as Stanford’s engineering anchor
The Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center was dedicated on October 5.

I have worked at workplaces with good engineering standards. I have worked at workplaces with terrible engineering standards. I have worked at workplaces with good engineering standards that *became* places with terrible engineering standards after a slip. I think every business is in category 3 now

Who did the engineering on it? Did it go through plan check? It has changed size several times during construction. Was the engineering rechecked? Who fabricated the steel? Was work inspected? By whom? Is the structure sound? 1/2

i think this is going to become like people's memories of pong being software-based as opposed to largely an circuit engineering task

look, just a little more genetic engineering to get the ovipositor to grow...

One of the most enduring memories of engineering education
I even asked the lecturer, another old professor, what was the point of having a learning wall rather than a curve: how does that help learning?
His reply: "It doesn't. But it knocks the pride out of you." ("Young whipper-snappers" was silent)

“In software engineering, there are always bugs in any codebase; we put into place automated tests, QA pipelines, and deployment workflows to catch them before they reach production. Yet we largely don't have this kind of ’reliability engineering’ in science.”
New blog post: I used Claude to audit the reproducibility of every journal paper I've been an author on in the last five years. Our commitment to openness meant that the code and data were available, but there were some significant issues. 🧵babieslearninglanguage.blogspot.com/2026/11/an-...

*One hopes this activity doesn't count as "reverse-engineering" those typewriter documents
OCR is getting cheap enough to redo whole collections. I ran an open 0.8B model over 14,483 pages of typed industry documents: 31 minutes on one GPU, $1.67. That is roughly $100 to $500 per million pages, depending on the page. The video shows speed in realtime.

We very specifically dropped “programming” moniker in favor of “software engineering” decades ago, specifically because:
a) it’s not just about writing code;
b) it’s engineering, as in repeatable, verifiable, measurable best practices, not vibes based artisanship.
