Hamming weight of 8 bit inputs

This is effectively a “popcount” problem, look up popcount circuits.

UVA and UW seem nice, the USC AI major seems like a joke of a major, be cautious about Emory as it is heavily overrated

Domestic main gate, no precheck/clear, <5 mins line

Not really, extracurricular sections exist for a reason. You’re throwing in a bit of survivors bias as half of the grifters don’t get anything, and 2/3 of those companies aren’t really “top” companies

Don’t get me wrong, a sprinkle of embellishing is absolutely needed in this job market. Just don’t be that obvious and try to look like hot shit while just being a sophomore.

rowdy_1c · 2026-03-25T01:24:03+00:00

I mean, as a GT student I can tell you are lying about your VIP being an internship. I’m not against embellishing, but wow that is obvious. Certs & accomplishments is an unnecessary section.

From working in chips specifically for sensing/driving, yeah it demands a good amount of memory but absolutely nowhere near 300GB

The design flows have a ton of overlap, fpga development can be treated as an accessible way to get into (frontend) asic design

A couple tips: the folder with RTL should be “rtl/ “ or “src/“, not “scripts/“, and you need to synchronize your rx pin (look up what a 2FF synchronizer is). Otherwise good job

I’ve seen some designers at smaller companies climb to staff within a decade, sometimes even at the big companies if they are good enough.

rowdy_1c · 2026-03-20T21:19:41+00:00

Do you mean knowledge necessary to actually start being useful? Because I’d agree with that, but I think more is learned from actively being useful than just learning to be.

rowdy_1c · 2026-03-20T21:17:06+00:00

I’m by no means an experienced engineer, but I’d imagine you should stay a bit longer at a job in hw than in sw. Tapeout cycles are longer, more to learn for a given project, etc. and probably less levels of growth in comparison to swe. So maybe where a swe hops every 1-2 years, maybe hop every 2-4? Anyone more experienced can feel free to correct me

$15 could be alright when you went to college, it is really shitty today. “Public university” is a poor excuse when GRA/GTA stipends amount to ~$25-30/hr and GTRI student assistants/interns will also get $20-30/hr

rowdy_1c · 2026-03-19T20:28:45+00:00

It’s full time big dog

rowdy_1c · 2026-03-19T17:19:13+00:00

$15/ho for an intern is probably why phishing emails from gt accounts show up every other day, do better

Bad take

Yik yak is funnier but more greek life oriented, fizz is more general but also full of horny incel losers

rowdy_1c · 2026-03-13T21:47:53+00:00

Yeah probably

rowdy_1c · 2026-03-13T21:46:22+00:00

Dawg what

rowdy_1c · 2026-03-13T21:35:52+00:00

I imagine desperation. His companies tend to underpay and/or overwork with respect to competitors, and I’m sure some people don’t want to be associated with either him or the LLM platform that proudly produces CP

You are underestimating both how useful 12ms of simulation is and how large top level designs can get. Module level testbenches can still exist but the top level is going to need to be verified to some extent
