Interesting but now suprizing how many have found solace in religion.

Very esthetic.

Being alone is painful, this is not a bug, it's a feature.

I have no idea what is going on here...

Officially my new favorite spec.

You can remove "in the mouth".

And here I believed this was a settled issue ... oh how wrong I was

I really like the DNA analogy, hadn't encountered it before, it is very poignant. > The system becomes like a gene pool without fresh DNA: predictable, fragile, and prone to degeneration.

This is beautifully written article.

It seems quite telling we are even discussing this.

Remember when the original Raspberry Pi computer sold for $35?

Wow, this is hardcore (pun intended).

They might know something?

"the people said"

I love how you can just fell the admiration he had for his dad.

They they are being very transparent about it.

Is this a sign that us of the plebs are starting to grow discontent?

So you build overleaf with bloat?

"Science"

Just run arch. (+1 for terrible advice)

I wish there was an infinite number of blogs that where this good.

> Once again, I used Cocotb as the abstracting layer allowing me to interface with multiple different simulators. Namely, icarus verilog for my standard verification and CVC for the post implementation timing annotated netlist.

lol

This is great: thanks for all this.

So you want to sprinkle the faster cell groups around, but the ecofiller gates are more flexible since they are everywhere by default ?

> Normally you tell the fab to keep a few wafers after the base layers and don't manufacture the metal layers.

Oh, I had no idea that was a thing.

Oh thanks, this is really interesting. Is there a limit to how far you can scale down your node to build the full frame image sensor: is 180nm the largest feasible node?

> The blank areas of the chips are filled with filler cells but most of them are special "ECOFILLER" cells that are basically generic pairs of N/P transistors like a gate array. These can then be turned into any kind of cell just by using metal. They are a little slower but work fine.

Oh, this is fascinating.

Yup, reads like the executive summary (in a good way).
