this as reply to your ping "Real electronic designers use LTSpies"
My first reaction was pointing you to that song "Your so vain , you probably think the song is about you, don't you don't you!" Look it up with goggle on youtube
Many times first reaction is the right one.
Then yesterday I was watching tennis, Roland something, Paris, double. Now my tennis is zero, but look at the way those guys handle the ball Then I imagined a John Lurking playing Using spice simulations of the wind speed, ball parameters - model, other players models, terrain, public, distractions...
Game would long be over before he with his supper-computers even had the model entered. This like tennis, is How I design Somehow everything works first time, some things are very complex. Large part is software, you use minions for that it seems...
And WTF simulate some thing that is easier to buy and test in reality? You will be in big legal trouble if your 'simulated design' fails to predict the error in that space trip or flight.. My first encounter with El Tea Spies was when I wanted to see if it really worked and put in a simple audio preamp, not one *I* designed but in those days common in so many stuff. It oscillated in Spies So godd*mned convincing it was that I took the scope and no it did not oscillate, How could it?
So then later I knew somebody was trying to sell computers, ever more powerful computahs to run ever less useful 'animations' of a fake reality. They then blame it on the models.
It is like those operation systems, getting more and more bloated.. In the end nobody knows and nobody CAN know what all the shit is about .. dbus..
With the 'merrican IQ steadily dropping and a leader with a brain defect forcing his ways on the world people too stupid and buying his thousand years old war crap of making a common enemy to stay in power.
We the neural nets can do better than spice.
El Tea Spies is an insult to our neural nets
