@amarioguy@social.treehouse.systems @mcc@mastodon.social @MaddieM4@raphus.social one hopeful note
in our experience when a company is very big on having NDAs around its tooling, it's because there's nothing hard to replicate about the tooling itself, once you know the basic idea of it
we suspect people who do chip design can already basically say, yeah you need these specific types of simulator to eliminate whatever specific classes of problem
that seems like a thing the community could take on, in principle

@ireneista@adhd.irenes.space @amarioguy@social.treehouse.systems @mcc@mastodon.social @MaddieM4@raphus.social there are *so many* random missing pieces that you might not even have thought about yet that are possible "in principle", but we're struggling to remain optimistic that herding the cats is actually possible there's "flagship-ish" missing tooling for things like "optical proximity correction" that people at least know about, but did you know that we basically don't even have a f/oss general-purpose optics simulator yet?
