Pat Deegan: Maker, explorer and sometimes teacher, of techy and other things

Kindof crazy what Matt managed to do in little time, in *analog* ASIC land, with the help of the bots... see how he tamed the machine and got it to make something that works (in theory!? we'll see!).

[Matthew Venn @matthewvenn]

I designed an analog mixed-signal radio chip with an AI agent: about 700 prompts in a week, and it's now submitted for tapeout.

Here's how it went at each step of the design, the times it was confidently wrong, and how I caught them.

The @hackaday #Supercon 10th edition is coming up fast and, though the full schedule's not up yet, the @tinytapeout workshop is ON and will be on Friday 6th: Come! Make a chip! It's going to be fun :)

New form-factor for GF180 TT ASICs panelized for wirebonding. Can be used as a raw IC or have designs loaded and/or clocked by the CH32 MCU, while giving external circuitry access to all I/O along with a USB TUI, using https://t.co/f4Azs8OHZf (built on the amazing ch32fun lib).

@hinathan Most doing a TT workshop won't turn it into a career, but the fact they all do become designers of actual ASICs in the process and know in their bones it's possible for them is already amazing. Maybe few of those seeds will sprout into bigger trees: will sure love to see it!

First day of @tinytapeout workshop at the IEEE Latin America & the Caribbean Semiconductor Summit , in Panama. Congrats all who sculpted silicon and got to tape out! Big thanks to TAs--Andrea, Denis, Josue and Oriel--and to Fernando and @IEEEPanama for making it happen!

[psychogenic @PsychogenicTech]

Agree. I've clashed with these people, who seem to know nothing other than how to convince the state to use its guns to force their ideas (and grow its own power), eg plans to artificially raise cost of electricity. Here,where it's all HYDRO power and they're forcing EVs on us.

@ShawnHymel Ah, cool. I was just watching a video of a dude making a weird concept VTOL plane (https://t.co/freHn0ffSd ) and was thinking it would be interesting to try and get it to "learn" to control pitch/yaw/roll with the x-tail control surfaces, see how that would do.

@DjClarke342 @HiddenCanada369 I'd love it if aliens built the Eiffel tower or whatever, but I think these type of reactions are just shame that people 100 years ago could accomplish great things and all we do is better enslavement technology. This was cool: https://t.co/jfVnaVDfTP

[psychogenic @PsychogenicTech]

I'd never heard of Transport Triggered Architecture (TTA) CPUs before--kinda cool--and @BreakingTaps managed to design and tapeout an actual (mostly?) working chip. A great intro to the topic and the architecture

@splinedrive oof, good job. Once in a blue moon, the mountain of varied connectors, voltage regulators, diodes, programmers, whatever saves my butt and that keeps the hoarder in me alive. Yeah, could have it next day with digikey. The hoarder cares not.

[psychogenic @PsychogenicTech]

yeah, this looks interesting

@justhealthnz @purgatory_kids @RosieNixon8 @Humanspective Yes, put a little heart and everything. Not sure why asking for data rather than just trusting blindly seems to be being discouraged, would assume we've had enough of the latter. Anyway, will def have a look.

[psychogenic @PsychogenicTech]

@eevblog Is there no downside? Do people with "normal" browsers see ads in the videos? Also, I've seen what seems like wildly unpredictable diffusion of my posts here (I'll admit, I don't post much) whereas with youtube it's pretty consistent, even if my reach isn't enormous.

[psychogenic @PsychogenicTech]

@RosieNixon8 @Humanspective Thanks for bothering to check. If it's data for 18million ppl, it's from somewhere: some gov db? Just think arguments and facts are more convincing accompanied with more backing than a sheet of paper, a way for us to check. We've had enough of "just trust me bro, I'm an expert"

Trust In The Age Of AI: Verifying Authentic Creations And Why You Should Care
Getting pretty hard to tell what's what, and I'd like to make sure what I'm consuming is real and supporting the creators I love rather than the flood of BS coming our way.

Best AI Ad ever..

@always_ff_rohan hah, 100% agree! Did you happen to see the video I published yesterday? Couldn't help but put a bit of rant in there on the same idea

[psychogenic @PsychogenicTech]

Anyone can steal your face. All this power is cool, but if you put anything online... oof. Well, there's a solution to this, something that can let you know if that really is from your favorite creator
