The submission reeks of LLM tells (especially the "UI" just looks straight like the usual Claude slop).
Anyway... the posed question reminds me of an anecdote I cannot find because Google is contaminated to hell and beyond, some researchers a decade ago let a machine-learning algorithm loose on an FPGA, and it "found" a design that worked but made no sense, because it exploited unique physical features of this specific chip.
- Legend2440 1mo agoSounds like you're talking about the FPGA evolution experiments Adrian Thompson and others did in the 1990s: https://evolvablehardware.org/history.html https://evolvablehardware.org/history.html
- mschuster91 1mo agoIndeed! With the keyword "evolving circuitry" I was able to find the blog post [1], with only one submission 8 years ago that barely got traction [2]. Thanks!
