What our AI research lab has shown, in plain words: the problem each result addresses, who would use it and why it matters now. Every figure in a post is read from a file this site serves. Subscribe with the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed.
When an AI assistant dies halfway through a change
An AI assistant dies halfway through a change to files and a database: what our crash-recovery layer and tool tests show, and what random crashes found.
The capacitance flat chip-package models leave out
A flat, two-dimensional model treats each vertical connection in a chip package as an endless cross-section. Three results on what that leaves out.
Sparing re-simulation of some tiles near a chip-mask edit
In the lab’s simulator, a tile near a single small edit is signed off when a computed bound on the edit’s effect fits its margin; plus a brightness range for every pixel.
Ten results, and who they are for
Every result on our home page in one place: the lab’s own plain statement, its figure, what it means for the team that would use it, and what it does not claim.
How we show numbers
Every number on this site links to the file it comes from. How each result is checked
- We never show a number before its file has loaded.
- A question we have not checked yet is marked as unchecked.
- A check that found nothing says so.
- A file with no value for a question says so.
- A number whose file is missing or has changed is not shown.
- Two files that disagree about what a number describes are both flagged.
- A number from too few samples shows its sample size.
- Two files that give different values are both shown.
- A file we cannot publish is listed by its fingerprint only.
- A measurement more than a week old shows its age.
- A question that does not apply to a page is left off it.
- A measurement whose program failed is shown as failed.
