       @azonenberg yeah I would rather have a hard DDR controller than not, (one of the reasons I was kind of excited about SUS+)

       @azonenberg oh it's definitely one of their weirder FPGAs; at least the config engine is a riscv instead of a hard microblaze, and you can actually program it/turn it off

       @azonenberg do you know off hand if the bitstreams are encrypted by default like the microsemi FPGAs?

       @azonenberg how's the config for the IP, is there a DRP style port or just a sea of wires/parameters

       @azonenberg oh it shares the transciever, yeah that would make sense then

       I'm glad that the kids these days have finally buried the ahistorical notion that english is a rigid language that has rules

       The fact that you can just invent or adopt new grammatical constructs and words is like one of the few redeming qualities of this language

       Just like vaguely staple something Plot™️ shaped onto what's basically a warhead design and simulation cad tool kinda like children of a dead earth

       A gun-type assembly would probably be a huge pain in the ass but a more modern implosion device could probably be pretty accurately simulated in a performant way with a mitsuba-style path tracer

       @ariadne @whitequark I'm a graduate student but i've been functionally a staff SWE for a couple years at this point; my boss has made a lot of stuff with LLMs at this point and absolutely none of it has been successfully integrated into production (and the two things that were close were basically GUI wrappers around a library i wrote).Scientists who need an LLM to prototype just aren't going to be able to effectively review that code

       @ariadne @whitequark yes it does, but i think we're seeing an illusion of efficiency rather than an actual increaseWe get a lot of slop repos that nominally "solve" the problem but can't be pushed the last 10% of the way there to get them to be actually usefuland then me, as a graduate student, i suddenly feel like i should not share ideas i have openly because someone might throw together an LLM prototype while i'm doing the actual hard work of fabricating a prototype
