Sure, one is a conflated chaotic nonsense generator, and the other is a chaotic random walk local "fit" evaluator set by an now arbitrary cost function. NP-hard is still NP-hard... and named problems are rarely solvable with naive

Copying millions of other peoples work for a similar looking result excludes the design compromises every engineer must make during the process. LLM don't think because it is not real "AI", and simply conflates every isomorph

Fab standard cell libraries are already the practical optimization of their current capabilities, and even FPGA try to minimize routing proximity with various levels of success. However, there are again named problems that constrain what na

LGPL requires whatever you static link it with is GPL/OSS. This is sometimes impossible with mystery binary blobs from manufacturers. =3

LLM do not think because they are not real "AI", but it does copy the linear patterns people exhibit if statistically salient within the granularity of the higher dimensional vector search space proximity. Watermarking does skew

Design for Manufacturability (DFM) will determine if they generate a viable product. Hardware is difficult, with a success rate around 1:66 for a startup. It is a good idea to consult with a contract manufacturer engineering team early, and

NP-Hard is NP-hard... "heuristics" in this case is just a euphemism for a fantasy cost-function to scam shareholders. It is a named problem, and can't be misappropriated like the $9Tn worth of FOSS code "AI" scrape

Magic smoke is important, as it indicates a design parameter was exceeded. I often recommend folks get a mini thermal camera for their phone... as inspecting for issues in electrical, hydraulic, or mechanical systems gets a fair bit easier&

LGPL does not allow static linking without disclosure. It is why the wxWidgets has a license that allows creating monolithic commercial blob dependent binaries for Windows, Linux Gtk/X11, and MacOS. https://wxwidgets.org&#x2

Some C compilers include special interpretations of static and volatile to change how both the code is compiled and linked. It can be "low-level", but it depends how you define what that means in the age of microcode abstractions.

GPL and LGPL works for a lot of people, but becomes a persistent issue when porting to other OS. They both still become a contaminating license if you have to static link something, embed 3rd party blobs, or even use icons for a consistent
