Because if you have the time and opportunity to study something in depth, then it should be taken imo.

If I just want to get a working product I only need the basic algorithm, but understanding "all" of it is never wrong

What do you mean by this? Have the DOS features inside of templeos?

I am thinking about how hard it'd be to port this to risc-v and then run it on an FPGA dev board as real computer. That could be fun

A ban for people born before 2010 would be reasonable

Just from my subjective view and observation, I'd say yes. It feels like a lot more people (younger than 30 roughly) smoke more than people around my peer group (mid 30s).

I could be totally wrong tho, but at least that's what it feels like. It feels like "all of them" smoke. Either vape or real cigarettes and quite a few of them using cigarettes

I just subscribed this month again because I wanted to have some fun with my projects.

Tried out opus 4.6 a bit and it is really really bad. Why do people say it's so good? It cannot come up with any half-decent vhdl. No matter the prompt. I'm very disappointed. I was told it's a good model

You are absolutely right! That is exactly the reason why more lines of code always produce a better program. Straight on, m8!

> They don't know what the * is going on

I'd assume that a good portion of people working on things like that know what is going on. My (very very subjective) feeling is that they just spit out WAY more tokens than needed, so that it hits the limit as fast as possible and people buy more. And the people responsible for that are probably the evil evil PM's

I mainly use (neo)vim because it has a less distracting interface than any other full blown IDE. Not because of some fancy tooling. And because it is faster, but that might be a negligible reason by now.

I purposely try to keep my extension count as low as possible. It's just too distracting for me personally.

If I really want to use AI tools or something else, then I don't mind opening a full suite, but as of right now, I still spend most of my time in vim and use AI mainly in chat mode.

This. While I doubt that there will be a good (whatever that means) desktop risc-v CPU anytime soon, I do think that it will eventually catch up in embedded systems and special applications. Maybe even high core count servers.

It just takes time, people who believe in it and tons of money. Will see where the journey goes, but I am a big risc-v believer

Over the past couple of years I have been quite obsessed with VHDL. Somehow I like the strict typing much better than verilog.

I should give Ada a try and build something fun with both of them

> There’s enough market competition to not allow this.

Why do people think it will NOT happen? There are tons and tons of examples out there where it happened exactly like this over and over again. Why would AI suddenly be the exception?

It's really not about competition. It's about who gets the users first and/or does the best marketing

Anything that is safety related or needs signal control. So embedded systems and anything related. Aerospace, defense, anything. There is so so much stuff.

Not even talking about AI writing HDL's. They just can't do it and put latches everywhere (they are bad. you should put registers instead)
