Electronics World Magazine

"Electronics World" was a popular electronics magazine published by Hugo Gernsback. The magazine was first published in 1959, and it focused on a wide range of topics related to electronics, including amateur radio, computer technology, and electronics projects.

Gernsback's goal with "Electronics World" was to make electronics accessible to a wider audience, and the magazine's articles were written in a way that was easy to understand for beginners while still providing valuable information for more experienced electronics enthusiasts.

"Electronics World" featured a number of prominent writers and contributors in the field of electronics, including Forrest Mims and Don Lancaster. The magazine also published a number of popular electronics projects, including electronic kits and circuits that readers could build themselves.

"Electronics World" continued to be published after Gernsback's death in 1967, and it remained a popular electronics magazine until it ceased publication in 2000. Despite its end, "Electronics World" continues to be remembered as a groundbreaking publication in the field of electronics, and it helped to inspire a generation of electronics enthusiasts and innovators.

AI Technical Trustability Update

While working on an update to my RF Cafe Espresso Engineering Workbook project to add a couple calculators about FM sidebands (available soon). The good news is that AI provided excellent VBA code to generate a set of Bessel function plots. The bad news is when I asked for a table showing at which modulation indices sidebands 0 (carrier) through 5 vanish, none of the agents got it right. Some were really bad. The AI agents typically explain their reason and method correctly, then go on to produces bad results. Even after pointing out errors, subsequent results are still wrong. I do a lot of AI work and see this often, even with subscribing to professional versions. I ultimately generated the table myself. There is going to be a lot of inaccurate information out there based on unverified AI queries, so beware.
