Congrats, looking forward to seeing what you end up doing next.

Boing ball on Glacier

Got an Artix 7 board from Alinx, PCIe is like 80% working in a test bitstream with openXC7. Hoping to get Glacier to be usable under Linux with this.

GLM-5.3 is good at removing Claudisms

Jetsons are used on everything embedded and have been for years by now. If Russia is using them, the US sure is as well. Jetson has been a thing since 2014 so they're pretty accessible.

Claude added a dedicates port from an SDRAM controller to the scanout module. It then wonders why PnR is becoming difficult to solve. I tell it its because of that long bus between the SDRAM to the scanout. It pushes back but checks, it realizes I am right. I tell it to go from wishbone to AXI4 and use the different channels to help with access. It does that and timing increases beyond the pre-second SDRAM read port. LLM's need to be trained more on hardware design, they don't understand timing. I do think it's somewhat because they don't imagine things. I definitely visualize the congestion and can rationally think about it. But at least Claude wants to be evidence driven and doesn't believe things unless it checks. But it wants to check absolutely everything.

And microVM's.

It really shows how he doesn't care about drama and that he's just a genuinely nice person. Even the person who made the video delayed publishing because of Henry. I also like how Mark figured out the strategy and got it for real.

Glacier is properly running a starfield animation.

Kimi K3 but for hardware would be nice. Would be cool if @aiand_ were to host the model since it would be quite big.

It's funny when Claude uses flip flops for buffering instead of BRAM and wonders why routing struggles.

Claude: This change is adds an extra 270 cycles of latency. *Runs PnR, Fmax up by 40%* Claude: I was wrong, this is faster.

I might get a Kintex 7 FPGA, it looks like openXC7 has done a decent job getting those supported.

It's from PayPal itself afaict

Why is PayPal closing my account that I use actively and have logged into over the past 3 years? I literally last used it just a few hours ago. I've had this account for years.

Glacier is coming online. I can only issue 1 command to the GPU until it dies. However, progress is being made. Once things are fixed, going to try rendering a test pattern.

Putting a RISC-V GPU onto the ULX3S at NixCamp.

I might have uses.
