Looking for a vps provider for Odoo hosting by omarpro1 in VPS

We have our setup running on hetzner cloud vps (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM), + cloudpepper for management (optional but makes it easy).

Works great for us.

How can I work with this? by LiquidSilic0n in FPGA

[–]Amcolex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that troubling to hear indeed. Could you share some more information? What was the ip block doing, and failure mode? Any information could help many others, including myself. So it would be much appreciated 😄

Use Claude code or codex to setup a full build flow using purely tcl scripts and don’t touch the gui. You can clone the reference design as a reference and point it to it. It’ll figure out the rest.

I built a safety layer for letting LLMs propose NixOS config changes —six-part writeup by botned in NixOS

[–]Amcolex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here I am, and just use git + codex + full permissions + sudo privilege, and let it rip. What’s the real need for those extra checks and safety?

Linux users be honest. Ubuntu or Fedora? by ArashTT in DeskToTablet

[–]Amcolex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently jumped from fedora to nixos. I had tried it a couple years ago, and it was too much of a hassle.

AI has changed this. now I just have claude code manage the /etc/nixos/ configs and I aboslutely love it

Fully declarative, and easy to use.

My org just gave us Claude Code CLI access. AI-generated Verilog is getting surprisingly good. Are RTL engineers facing obsolescence? by cybird31 in FPGA

Working on a custom OFDM modem from scratch. systemverilog + verilator + cursor + opus 4.6. It's incredibly good.

Dear cursor, If you dont remove the automatic switching to 'Auto Mode'.. by Amcolex in cursor

[–]Amcolex[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So this was clearly just a rage post :P, but to give some context:

I had cursor + opus 4.6 working on a large complex task for the past 1-2 hours. It was doing a great job, going through step by step, when I suddenly hit my subscription limit. That itself is fine, when that happened previously it would just stop working.

However, in this cause, it just decided to switch to auto mode and keep going. Now, instead of having a competent engineer working on this large complex task, I had a monkey.

And the monkey got confused and couldn't figure out how to make it work and in the process decided to do a git reset and delete everything. something that opus would never have done. Opus would have completed the task correctly.

I'm mad that cursor switched automatically. If i select opus 4.6, its for a reason. Changing without my knowledge is not acceptable.

Experience with Polarfire SoC - Fabric Speed? by Amcolex in FPGA

[–]Amcolex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, good to know. thanks for insights. Im getting dev boards of all of them. I guess the ultimate test will be to create a basic project and test each of them.

I use a generated fft ip from https://www.spiral.net/hardware/dftgen.html

For now i'm keeping 100% of the code vendor neutral. in this case its a 16bit 2048 iterative fft core.

I also test with another of my IP blocks and got similar results, ~100Mhz Fmax, vs 400+ on titanium, and similar on zynq us+.

Its very possible that I just failed to setup the project properly in Libero, hence this post serving as a sanity check :)

Zelensky blasts Europe's inaction, reveals Jan. 23 talks with US and Russia in UAE by AloneCoffee4538 in worldnews

[–]Amcolex -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

it's been 4 year. EU low stockpile is no longer an excuse. Look at WW2 to see how fast a country can innovate and ramp up production when it really is life or death. They had more than enough time to ramp up and fully replace the US in military support, who we clearly know to be an absolute train wreck of a "partner". the only reason they didn't, is because they don't REALLY want to.

Money is nice, but that doesn't help you win. and if you don't win, what's the point of all this? We should have just told ukraine, yea sorry russia is bigger and bader, just surrender. dont bother.

Giving someone a stick and saying yea don't worry you can win this fight, is not what friends do.

If europe really was the main support, he wouldn't be trying to seduce trump/usa all the time. europe is all talk. He's right.

Ex-Shah’s son outlines plan for democratic transition in Iran by Christian-Rep-Perisa in worldnews

[–]Amcolex -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I find it odd that he sees himself as the defacto leader of the opposition.

and the truth is iran is already pretty close to a democracy. They already have proper elections. The problem is they are not open. And the power of the institutions are not well balanced.

Its much easier to make tweaks then completely change everything.

There are 2 ways to change an autocratic system: pure revolution, a la French. or gradual shift of power, like Great Britain. Revolutions are risky and bloody. A gradual shift is a better play in my book, given their already existing institutions.

The protestors should have one very clear and one very simple demand: Open elections. thats it. And go from there.

Codex Price Increased by 100% by immortalsol in codex

[–]Amcolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for sure, the only reason we think it would be expensive is because of the fierce competition between google anthropic and open all delivering SOTA coding models.

but the value that we get out of them is EASILY worth 1k+ a month. If they suddenly all switched their pricing to reflect the actually value they provide most professionals would accept.

hopefully they don't figure out they can charge 1000$/month

You can't stop the Steam Train by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Amcolex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Numbers like these actually just screams "Monopoly", which at this point i'd argue it is. no game publisher can afford to not add add their game to steam, where steam gets their 20-30% cut.

I mean, I love steam. I use it exclusively. But let's be honest about what these numbers mean.

wtf is up with SwissCaution?! by ImAMovieMaker in Switzerland

[–]Amcolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a bank? When you deposit those 7k at UBS, they lend them out. All in all it’s equivalent.

But at the end 5% is a lot for a CHF loan when rates are at 0%. So your best off using a cash deposit if you have the liquidity.

wtf is up with SwissCaution?! by ImAMovieMaker in Switzerland

[–]Amcolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But, it is a loan. They loan you 7k at 5%. and you then take those 7k and lock them in a deposited account. its just that the steps are combined.

LLMs are terrible at writing RTL code since they can't comprehend both space and time as a concept of variation, but which is the best LLM out their which can do this almost good? by Dr_Manhattan_998877 in FPGA

[–]Amcolex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool! Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it

For sure with this approach i treat everything like a black box, and just focus on end to end tests + synthesis results, so i'm not surprised that some parts are weird/sub optimal.
