Same here. What’s this about? Anyone who can see willing to share some more info?

These gate and metal pitch numbers don’t tell the whole story. In the end it’s logic gate density that counts. And while decreasing the gate and metal pitch, also the logic gates h…

This looks like a treasure trove on what it takes in terms of algorithms to enable tools like Cadence Innovus or Synopsys ICC. It’s not a user guide on how to use these tools, but …

Thank you for the write up! Very enlightening to see how things went for you. I was on the fence recently whether to go for contractor work but ended up just switching companies in…

Thank you! For now I am just binding c++ to Python but I expect/fear the lines might start blurring, so cython might come in handy then.

Thank you! - I’ll give pybind11 a go.

Thank you! Swig indeed can be a pain but having used it before I have become somewhat blind to it. But eg smart pointers are not easy to deal with well, I’ve found out recently… I’…

This is a somewhat tangential question to the new release, but there might be folks here that can answer this question. Having used swig to create Python bindings for C++ code over…

If you just need a nice print: fmtlib is a really nice c++23 style implementation without needing c++23 compiler support. Highly recommend it. It’s simple. It’s fast.

Not really knowing Vercel, I thought, based on the title, that it might have been a new GPU competitor (accelerator card) but it’s a startup accelerator.

While I have no need for its online functionality and the SAAS part of plotly, I really do like plotly python + cufflinks [1]. It lets you make interactive plots in html/js format.…

I was wondering what the goal of the project is. The README is not very clear on it, but the implementation document [1] does state design goals: - Small memory usage within a fixe…

A lot of companies are indeed trying to build AI accelerator cards, but I would not necessarily call them ASICs in the narrow sense of the word, they are by necessity always quite …

+1 for UTM. I use it to run an arm Linux distro that uses Rosetta for x86 binary only programs. Works like a charm and blazingly fast!

The article overlooks a fundamental side of the social contract that is at least equally, if not more, important: how much time and effort (not money) do personally invest to spend…

Oh these are nice. They are the modern equivalent, in a way, of the industrial photos of Bernd and Hill Becher [1], who with and archivist's diligence sought out, cataloged and cap…

Also a gothamchess viewer I see :) Levy's indeed always making a sport of it to have the most clickbaity titles and thumbnails, but the chess content is really really top notch. (e…

I 100% agree on verilator. It’s by far the most efficient tool for many simulation and verification needs. Hands down. Even more so if you are building CPUs UVM definitely has its …

The package is the new pcb. But it’s going to be a chaotic gold rush with many competing solutions for a while, before a de facto standard will emerge (the way it usually goes). Wi…

Yes I ran into the same thing - It's disappointing, though maybe understandable as this is an iteration on the Primephonic app they acquired a while ago. And though I cannot find a…

But don't underestimate how much 'middleware' there is in Cuda/CuDNN, NCCL etc. A lot of it is not in the compiler, but much more in hand crafted, carefully optimised libraries. As…

Very nice explanation! It gets very complex very quickly... And then there's of course also the fact you never know if your last bytes in the Ifetch you get from the cache is a ful…

Apart from the fact that people might not want it, even technically you might still have latency issues, our eyes are extremely sensitive… also keep in mind: the sensors and displa…

As one of the comments on reddit posts - it's not just big tech companies, but also entire university teams which feel the goalposts moving miles ahead all of a sudden. Imagine wor…

This is really interesting, thank you for the reference! Having worked more with images based NN than language models before, I wonder: are LLM inherently more suited to aggressive…
