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!).
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 github.com/psychogenic/TT… (built on the amazing ch32fun lib).

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!

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.
Degrowthers are dangerous

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

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.

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

Have been meaning to play with Mini MOSbius, an "analog FPGA", and Matt walks through the cool system he built around it.
Forget simulation - watch me build and speed up a circuit on silicon, live!
I'm using Mini MOSbius - it's like an FPGA but for analog.

oh, this'll be interesting--EM solvers right from FreeCAD
⚡️#FreeCAD #inthewild FreeCAD Microwave WB!
New workbench for RF and microwave engineering! This is an audacious WIP that is typically seen in the ecosystem. Current solver that works is openEMS but several others are slated. Props to Mike Volokhov

Phase noise is one of those RF topics that can get confusing fast.
Last year, I wrote a short article about it for the "Hardware Thrashers of X" zine. I’m publishing it here now for anyone who might find it useful.

Acoustic side-channel attack--letters from keyboard sounds--on an *MCU* @ 7ms, ~100 micro Joules per inference. The model was built just by feeding my data to a web service that spits out C for the microcontroller. Full build, demo and deets: youtube.com/watch?v=dbXCgh…

Chipalooza #3 is on: design sweet open source analog ASIC circuits for GF180, win glory, fame, and prizes (well, maybe get paid) and have fun doing so. Open to proposals until the end of the month

Did not know Justin Feinstein: this was a fun read, very timely. Ate it in a single gulp.
