Generative AI meets RF circuit design = game changer • Passive networks tailored by diffusion models. • Specify stop-band/pass-band; AI does the rest. • Pixel patterns are not intuitive to electrical response. Designs getting more abstract. Prepare for a cognitive shift.

If this is how "vibes" are working out for software, imagine what will happen if you try to vibe on chip design.

So interesting. Fact or fiction? Nvidia was rejected by Samsung on HBM, advanced logic and CUDA.

TIL that satellites can have even 20 redundant amplifiers. I understand failure is not an option, but 20?!

🫡 Glad to be of service.

Our commercial and military radars are strong enough that we are transmitting a unique technosignature that identifies us as an advanced technological race to anybody listening within 200 light years. gizmodo.com/aliens-can-det…

A number of people have told me to start explaining stuff casually on video. Not highly produced ones. Not terse either. Water cooler vibes. Just explaining stuff. I’ll try not to bore you to death. Would you watch?

Power needs for future AI racks are going to get so nuts, the busbar carrying current to all the compute trays needs to be liquid cooled. If ya'll start overusing Grok AI companions, I don't know what we're gonna do.

A new found head cold is befuddling all my writing activities. I was going to make a post about Samsung today, the lack of customers in their new fab, and why people are quitting for SK Hynix. Well, this post will have to do for today. Here’s an image from Chosun Daily.

Cadence and Synopsys are selling picks and shovels in this AI market; Look at those gross margins... All startup EDA companies will feed into the tool kits of these two companies most likely. Create a killer AI-enabled EDA flow, and these two will acqui-hire to suck it up.
