That's one of my pet peeves on hn, the comments on microplastics studies, or I guess any in-progress science in general. If it's a study on the level of microplastic contamination the environment, or levels and sources of exposure

Well, it's been used in this context for at least 33 years, so it the complaint is a bit late to make an impression. https://minesparis-psl.hal.science/hal-00752774/document

That's just the shape of the wafer. I don't know why the diagram continued the grid outside it.

If you want to do low level design, you can look at the Micro Magic public domain tool set. As someone said above, Verilog only describes the logical function (ranging from the RTL level to the gate level.) You'd need other tools to wo

Exactly. This is a study about the exposure and absorption parts of the equation. The science is ongoing. People who can't deal with anything less than total certainty don't understand the process.

The paper describes the three kinds of tea bags tested, and how the results differ between them.

So...perhaps worthy of further study, maybe including to understand where exposure comes from, and whether the particles are absorbed? Like this study.

Those are dev boards -- hardware, not software.

Really? It doesn't seem to me like much Intel-written software has been key to x86's success. The things I can remember from Intel are compilers, performance analysis tools, and threading and math libraries. But none of them were

I think Funko's products are classified as collectibles, not dolls. I am sure they have licenses from Disney.

It seems to me like a more valid way to describe that work is that, you can predict an artist's long-term success based on their early success. The first five venues where an artist exhibits isn't wholly based on their social netw

I find it hard to imagine how you'd implement various simple functions in the bitgrid. It would be interesting if you'd present some simple hand-worked examples. For example, how it would implement a 1-bit full adder? Like the nit

That sounds like good work, but we can't ignore the context. Nvidia can train their own LLM's on proprietary Nvidia designs, which isn't a possibility for a random startup. If the evaluation of the approach is "it works

There are lots of reasons to doubt the present-day ability of LLMs to help with chip design, but I don't think any of these things above are why. Chip design isn't done with schematics. If an LLM can write Python given enough trai

I took it to be a joke that the description "slow, expensive, non-deterministic black boxes" can apply to the engineers themselves. The engineers would be the ones who would have to place LLMs at the core of the system. To anyone

That's true, you don't hear about these dates in vertically-integrated businesses, but it's a bit of a misdirection. Vertically-integrated manufacturers definitely don't take 6 years from RTL completion to mass productio

Used in that sense, the same software could be called Samsung's and Intel's and any other foundry's, since it is qualified for use with those processes as well. But that's not really the main point I was making, which wa

If you don't worry about the programming model, it's pretty easy to be way better than than existing methodologies in terms of pure compute. But if you do pay attention to the programming model, they're unusable. You'll

EDA software has long allowed trading off power, delay, and area during optimization . But TSMC doesn't produce those tools, as far as I'm aware.

I'll tell you what: no matter how hard anyone looks in my past, nobody's going to find massive plagiarism. Why? Because I didn't commit plagiarism. You find plagiarism in the pasts of plagiarists. Let's save the defense

If you have working software that gives orders of magnitude improvements, needing $100k worth of hardware would be no barrier at all. That's a fraction of just the EDA software license budget for many projects.

Yes, it's much easier to buy ahead of time in the app and have it automatically activate upon arrival, instead of having to find a kiosk in the airport.

I've used the Airalo app to buy data-only eSims in multiple regions, and they have global ones also. I would guess it's not as cheap as you'd get if you waited to buy from local providers in arrival, but it's very conven
