I've been working on my KiCad autorouter, and these are single layers of copper.

Hey @McMasterDaily

@ReadOnly0137 You're vastly overestimating how good LLMs are.

@ViolenceWorks Thanks for data. Will AI be able to allow for active effects of trace adjacency: cross-talk, heating, etc ?

@ReadOnly0137 this is not AI. The algorithm is from 1995, with slight modifications.

@ViolenceWorks A perfect application for AI; always follows the rules, never makes mistakes.

@skot9000 This is actually _really good evidence _ of what it's doing. It's negotiated congestion, so that is an artifact of earlier iterations of the PathFinder algorithm.

@ViolenceWorks never trust the autorouter 😅

@zxprojects I'm only showing internal layers in the 'cool pics'. Otherwise it's just a blob of color. Illustrator is choking on the 'art render'.

@ViolenceWorks I see this board has a lot of SMD connectors, but the routed one in your previous post has not SMD pads as part of the track view you shared. How is that?

@zxprojects Everything in the working version is basically PCBWay minimums. 0.4mm routing grid. Did a lot of work to minimize the via aspect ratio. ...should be manufacturable. /shrug

@ViolenceWorks Which is the routing grid? And the track width? And via diameter?

@zxprojects here's a pic of the board with just pads and airwires

@ViolenceWorks I think it's impressive! May I assume that you are using the rule of preferred direction for each layer? How many layer can your autorouter handle? How does it handle BGA fanout?

Zoom in.

engineers be like i learned this in school so it must be important my brother you also learned in school that the indians taught the pilgrims to grow corn do you think that's how it really went down

@QiaochuYuan oh fuck it's elon, isn't it

tried throwing gpt-5.6 sol high (not pro) at this: > satoshi was probably none of the famous suspects. > a surprisingly rich code trail survives > we absolutely have enough material for a much better forensic comparison than has apparently been done. > bitcoin contains the remains of another product > bitcoin was probably developed inside a broader personal framework for: decentralized commerce, signed identities/reviews, reputation, messaging, payments—and perhaps gambling. > the sharper unknown-satoshi profile becomes: a veteran Windows C++ application programmer, probably active since the late 1990s or early 2000s, who had built P2P/network software and was interested in marketplaces, reputation or online gambling. > prior code-attribution work is much worse than it sounds > nobody appears to have performed the actually useful experiment: search millions of pre-2009 C/C++ projects first, identify code relatives, and only then inspect their authors. about 47m of total work. sol seems to think it's found a neglected approach here that hasn't been competently pursued publicly to its knowledge, and also seems to think the existing profile of satoshi is too heavily weighted towards digital money theorists (wei dai, nick szabo, hal finney, etc) as opposed to hardcore programmers. here's the transcript, someone throw pro / codex at this: chatgpt.com/share/6a618775…

Hey @UnfareSF cops on L outbound at taraval and 19th

@vsync @cederom @suarezvictor Either way, I'm not going to deal with people that say it's "not open source enough". I've read what these idiots post for three decades now. Fuck them. I refuse to give them an inch. They do not deserve it.

@ViolenceWorks @cederom @suarezvictor I think it may have been a misunderstanding... my initial read was the same as yours, and think it comes across that way, but can see how something else could have been intended

There's a RISC-V microcontroller with an FPGA on the same die. It's like a Cypress PSoC, but better. Or a Pi Pico with PIOs, but better. Here's an open toolchain for it: github.com/bbenchoff/AGaM…

@cederom @suarezvictor This guy is not a potential user. Not a potential collaborator. I'm not dealing with drive by Stallman acolytes demanding that I should do more. I give you something, for free, and that's not good enough? Well fuck all 'yall.

@cederom @suarezvictor Yeah, and I pushed this with a license file. MIT license. Everything is there, for anyone to see. If you scroll up, you'll see this guy's objection was that _only the source_ was provided to an open source project. But the lack of a download button means it's not open source.
