oh this shouldn't happen. Will try to replicate it right now and push a fix today.

LE: confirmed and fixed.

thanks!

as much as I'd like to state otherwise, I believe the game itself is not enough to make you a chip designer, i.e. to get a job as a chip designer. It's just for fun and learn something new in the process.

what a blast from the past!!

Thanks! I cannot edit it anymore for some reason...

Ok mr expert anything else you would like to share from your unlimited wisdom?

You're right in theory, but it doesn't mean the US gov has unrestricted access to the data. There needs to be a legal process in place and there are safeguards that prevent accessing the data without that. This will happen to any company within US jurisdiction, as authorities can compel any provider to give them the required data.

No, they use OpenAI with deployment in the Swedish data centers, which keeps inference local. Azure and GCP already offers this. No idea about Claude though.

I have recently published Chip Builder, a game where you create your own chip from transistors, write machine code and coordinate the processes in the factory to actually ship the chip.

You then transition from Chip Architect to CEO and lead the entire company. The game transforms into a turn-based grand strategy game where you navigate economical and geopolitical challenges across multiple eras, starting with 1947. You hire engineers and your c-suite team, delegate tasks, invest the company's money, raise funding or even go public and deal with competition. Rivals will poach your top people, engage in corporate espionage to sabotage your company and steal your intellectual property.

I have added also significant historical events as easter eggs, celebrating past scientific achievements (humanity is awesome!).

On top of that, you need to deal with vendors, some of them cheap and unreliable, deal with new environmental regulation or comply with trade wars between countries.
