Codex Builds Spectrum Analyzer in 12 Hours

The author mentions picking up an old hobby project again because "Codex is AGI."
Yesterday, it helped them complete a 2.5GHz "spectrum analyzer": figuring out the circuitry/logic based on the SERDES block on an old PicoEVB FPGA, sorting out various PCIe details, and ultimately visualizing all signals from WiFi to FM simultaneously. The author notes this would have originally taken them months, but Codex did it in just 12 hours.
