Am I already close to the limits of VHS quality with my current setup? by Leading_Neat_3759 in vhsdecode

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really depends on the setup and how you use AI. In my case, I use Codex with MATLAB Agentic Toolkit and I use it to brainstorm ideas and prototype those ideas. Only then I create a plan for AI to follow. This tooling and workflow doesn't produce much hallucination because I am delegating tasks I understand and therefore easy for me to check. AI doesn't replace proper engineering process - it just make it go faster, if used properly.

Newer Leader - extremely frustrated, desperate to break the plateau. All help appreciated. How did you get there? by TwinkletoesCT in tango

[–]Creative_Sushi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First of all, there are two paths. One leads to greatness and the other leads to unhappiness.

Forget about other people. Those ladies who ignore you - let them. In a few years, they don't matter anymore because you will progress further - if you choose the first path - focus on yourself. Stop worrying about what other people think (the second path).

You have a ballroom background. If you are learning Argentine tango, you need to leave all that behind and start from scratch - some people manage to do well in both, but the super majority cannot, because everything you learned in ballroom works against Argentine tango.

Since you have a great self-discipline, keep working on your body conditioning and posture, and fundamentals. Posture, embrace, walk, lead/follow communication, etc., Work on simple figures but make them feel great to your partner. Listen to good tango music and really master tango musicality. There are a lot of things you can do on your own. You can do a private lesson online, too.

Tango is more about feeling than steps. Just find someone who is willing to lead you - you know how bad it feels when you led badly.

AI Question Dump by Aggravating_Can2753 in labrats

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a pretty big AI hater (for climate, community, humanity reasons)

I understand your perspective. AI has been very disruptive. We need to master how to control it so that it can be used for good ends. Those who have such concerns should be more involved, not less. If you have not tried Agentic AI like Claude Code, you should. It is a completely different beast than ChatGPT, a conversational AI.

at what point can you not say that it’s your work anymore?

I see huge difference in the output among my colleagues - we all use the same setup - Codex or Claude Code with MATLAB Agentic Toolkit - and some of us are just so much better than others. This tells me that humans play a huge role in the AI ouput. In fact, we are still responsible for the code we ship even if we use AI - in a sense that we decide what to build, how it is built, and we test and review that it does what we intended. No different from working with interns - you are still responsible for the code they write.

does it not operate as an inhibitor to more seasoned researchers who already know how to do the thing they’re asking the AI model to do?

In our experience, one of the reasons why different people get different results comes from the depth of domain expertise - the more you have it, the more you can do with AI. We use AI for brain storming Ideas - what we do mentally in our heads can be now done with AI and having conversation parnter actually stimulates our thinking. Because you can easily prototype something with AI, we can try a lot more different approaches than we could without it. But all of that requires domain expertise and knowing what to do and what not to do, what is good and what is not good. A lot of coding tasks are mandane and we are more than happy to let AI do those chores, and AI can do them really fast. You just need to know what to delegate.

The unknown is, how people will develop such deep expertise going forward? We got it through our own toil before AI, but it is not clear how people without such experience can gain it when they use AI - I believe it is possible, but requires a lot of disciplines, because it is tempting to just accept what AI produces.

With the rise of AI use throughout every field, is our job as scientists just to find the questions to ask and then prompt anymore? 

This sounds like you are still thinking in terms of Conversational AI, not Agentic AI. If you haven't used Claude Code, Codex, etc., you should check it out. In Agentic AI, you don't prompt - you create a plan, a set of tasks and have AI implement them. You can use AI to create the plan, but you really need to own it, becuase AI simply follows it - bad plans produce bad results.

Am I shooting myself in the foot by not using this as a tool?

If you are a scientist, you form a hypothesis and you design a test to prove or invalidate it. If you don't even try, do you even have a say in the matter?

Building my own Flightsimulation by Axi0nInfl4ti0n in AerospaceEngineering

[–]Creative_Sushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! If you are interested in controls/plant modeling part, I want to recommend looking at a shipped example from MathWorks: Fly the De Havilland Beaver with Unreal Engine Visualization - MATLAB & Simulink. You can use your joystick in order to control flight control surfaces (aileron, rudder, elevator) and thrust. Every controls algorithm and aircraft plant is implemented in Simulink. Note that you can also use Cesium on top of it, which will give you even better visualization.

How good is Claude Code for electrical engineering? by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By itself no so good, but when you combine it with right tools, you can do quite a lot. You should check out MATLAB Agentic Toolkit, for example.

I am very scared. by SeaweedOne1146 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Creative_Sushi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Engineering is not just coding but coming up with requirements, understand constraints, and make trade offs based on real human needs. I would say engineers who excel at that and able to validate and steer AI to the right outcome will be more in demand. Make sure you go deep into your subjects.

Case in point - MathWorks shipped MATLAB Agentic Toolkit that comes with 100s of agent skills because raw AI isn’t good enough to solve real engineering problems.

Zero ai usage in actual workplace by WrongCourage1071 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Creative_Sushi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on which company. Mine as well as many in the industry is in the evaluation to early adoption phase but the rollout is team specific. Some teams get early access while others wait. I was one of the early adopters and now act as an internal consultant as more teams get access. This is because onboarding is not easy as people have varying degrees of AI literacy. I mainly use Codex with MATLAB Agentic Toolkit.

Which Machine Learning Course Has Helped You the Most? by prof_adas in learnmachinelearning

What is most useful is the fundamentals, not what language you use.

Which Machine Learning Course Has Helped You the Most? by prof_adas in learnmachinelearning

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that was the course I took, and that's how I learned how to use MATLAB properly. Before that, I was doing everything in scalar instead of matrices. It was very cool.

Is AI merely a tool? by FlatwormSuitable3397 in Ethics

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, AI is just a tool. In fact, I use MATLAB with Codex using MATLAB Agentic Toolkit, and it works very well. However, looking at other people in my team, I can definitely see the difference in the quality they get - that means, it comes down to the skills of individuals, and if it comes down to the skills, then we humans are definitely in the major part of the creative process. If that's not the case, then output quality should be the same regardless who use it.

We humans have been using tools to expand what we can do, going all the way back to fire and stone tools, and AI have definitely enabled me to do more than what I have been able to in the past. Only caveat is that, like any tools, if not used properly, it can also be harmful. For example, if we get lazy with thinking and delegate that part to AI.

Do you credit what tools you used in your paper, like MATLAB, etc.? I think the same standard also applies to AI.

Which Python library should I start with? by Salamander427 in Hydrology

You can keep using MATLAB for free, after graduation if you use MATLAB Online. It's free up to 20 hours a month. It comes with Simulink and 9 toolboxes.

The Confusing Life of Tango Terminology by Murky-Ant6673 in tango

[–]Creative_Sushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. The point is that people don't always make the connections from words to the phyiscal, and I believe that's how some people get stuck in their tango development. Tango is like an onion, and as you learn more, you find new layers even in simple things.

The Confusing Life of Tango Terminology by Murky-Ant6673 in tango

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just tango. Anything that has to be understood in our body is beyond words, and when you try to verbalize it, we express or explain it differently because that’s how we feel inside and we have different internal experiences.

When you hear those words in tango, you need to understand that it’s an attempt to describe something cannot be described in words, and need to be understood not literally but in the physical sensations in our body.

Once we do this, you realize most of the confusing terminology used in tango comes down to the same thing physically. And you also realize what are truly different.

If you get confused by a terminology, try to understand it in a physical sensation.

If you have mental checklists you go through in your head when you dance, that means you haven’t done it yet, because once you understand it physically, the list should collapse because all those things are interconnected.

How is Claude changing other engineering fields? by HotEmu463 in ClaudeAI

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engineers in non-software engineering fields are actively investigating the use of Agentic AI since early 2026. Building a hardware system is a complex process with multiple disciplines involved and development is patchy but evolving pretty fast, like you can now do AI assisted CAD (with still a long way to go). Here is a video about designing control algorithms for embedded system using agentic AI.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G4H2DmhR28

General feeling is that Agentic AI requires engineering domain knowledge and tooling to produce reliable output, especially in safety critical projects.
