Then something for the #Verilog and #Factorio crowd to bond over: a tool for taking a Verilog chip design and putting into the game... as a functional factory.

Demos of its capabilities go all the way up to a 32-bit #RISCV CPU...

in case you need a taste of how fucked the tech industry is right now, I'm being required to use AI at work. if I talk about how it fucks up or overcomplicates basic asks, it's because I "don't know how to use it" which indicates a "lack of growth mindset", and thus poor performance. I've been told this directly to my face, starting immediately.

Edit: I was annoyed with how crappily low-resolution the imgflip version was (and how they use nearest-neighbor for scaling down their images!), so I recreated the meme entirely in #LibreOffice Draw, saved it at roughly 2.5 times the resolution of the original, and used #WebP compression to make it 1,029 bytes smaller than the original JPEG!! πŸ’ͺ

Imagine Acme Mega-Oil invested in a taxi service, and the drivers working for that taxi service were measured not on profits, or revenue, or journeys completed or passenger satisfaction, but on gasoline burned. That's basically Big Tech right now.
