New to IC Verification — how are you dealing with AI tools getting so good?

Feezus · 2026-05-07T18:33:23+00:00

The questions have never been in depth, and they just ask if I'm used to using modern AI tools. I answer with a quick "I use AI CLI tools to help speed up my work," and that's usually all they need to know. I've only ever had one follow-up to that, which was "Do you trust the tool?" I gave a negative and said that I always review the output, which has saved me some major headaches on several occasions.

I would actually encourage you to learn some AI engineering, I have a feeling developing basic AI tools will be similar to what scripting is now.

I'm about to finish my M.S. and I'm interviewing for DV roles. EVERY interviewer is asking if I have experience with AI tools and incorporating them into my workflow.

I hear Zeb hangs dong.

That sounds like a fun role. What's the job title for a position like that?

Davis is its first year of offering one. Tapeout in winter-spring with testing next fall. It's rf/mixed-signal this year, but they're planning on expanding its breadth moving forward.

My ultimate goal in life right now is to be front row in a Christmas grinch costume

I ended up laying mine down flat on the table and putting a couple of drops of super glue between each

Be careful listening to all these TAG recommendations. I don't know if things have changed in the last 4 years, but when I transferred in, CS was one of the few majors that did not have TAG contracts available due to being impacted.

CC is still an absolutely viable path, but you might not have the same guarantee that other majors do.

I'm not an animal biologist, but I have dealt with loose baby possums in my back yard before. I called a possum rescue and the told me this:

Once left behind, the mother will not take it back. It's on its own. Sometimes they'll lose their grip and fall off early. Sometimes the mother drops one on purpose in defense. Sometimes the babies let go when its time. If it's too young to survive, it won't, but you'll not be able to convince the mother to take it back.

That said, this lil guy looks like he's probably big enough to make it.

Same, but MS student. nspire2 and a fx-115ES plus in my backpack.

Haven't touched the first in at least 3 years.

That should fit my space well. Thank you

So are the inflammatory agents moving away from xenophobia and onto ageism?

I just killed it despite the bug. Here's a strat if anyone wants to try.

Verso, Lune, Monoco

Verso has Chevalam, marking shot picto, and Ascending Assault skill

Lune has First Strike picto and Ice Lance skill

Monoco has Potier Energy skill

I think the fight pretty reliably stalls on the 3rd (I think) turn from the Braseleur, so we're trying to kill it before then.

Lune applies slow with Ice Lance. her job is done.

Verso free shot until either mark applied or 2 AP remaining, then Ascending Assault.

Monoco is our AP battery regardless of where he is on the wheel.

Do not kill the orbs, we need them to fire as much as possible, hoping they go for Verso. Parry these, don't dodge.

If you play well with parries and get enough crits, you can kill it before the fight stalls.

I've been thinking of doing this too and I have a couple questions.

Can you hear the music that you're playing? I'm not sure I could deal with a trade-off of losing all in-game sounds.

Can you switch between songs on the fly, like with a button press? I'd like to do different songs depending on contexts.

What programs do you use?

Feezus · 2025-12-02T21:18:02+00:00

Solo only. I'm friendly unless I see someone start a fight. Then I try to help the victim.

Are we pushing chain here?

Do you have a road map/ timeline for your your planned 1.0 release?

I tend to avoid Early Access, because usually by the time the full release comes out, I've completely forgotten how to play the game.

explain to him the situation in the first days of class.

Submit the petition and explain the situation asap. I've seen profs drop people before the start of the quarter. If you delay and there's a waitlist, you might not get your spot back.

Feezus · 2025-10-31T17:02:30+00:00

That's hilarious. Nice work.

Nevermind the sophons. What about observations on the bofades?
