I made an Ethernet transceiver from logic gates
I made an Ethernet transceiver from logic gates launched on December 18, 2022 with 460 votes, #22 of 3,688 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.
In plain words
This project demonstrates building an Ethernet transceiver using basic logic gates. It's designed for electronics enthusiasts and hobbyists interested in understanding how network hardware works at a fundamental level. What stands out is the hands-on approach of constructing networking equipment from individual logic components rather than using pre-built modules, offering educational insight into transceiver design and implementation.

I made a digital circuit drawing and simulation game2024 · github.com · ▲139Inspired by games like Turing Complete/Virtual Circuit Board/Logic World, I tried to make a mix of aseprite and wiredworld/wired-logic, the idea being the user can build a digital circuit using a "fullstack" pixelart creation workflow. The circuit is just an image. The primitives are (i) connected wires which have undefined, 0 or 1 state during simulation (displayed brighter or darker in function of the state) and (ii) NANDs, which are little pixel triangles. During simulation the user can interact with any wire by clicking on it, toggling its state, which is cool for messing…
SatCat5, the open-source FPGA Ethernet switch2024 · github.com · ▲190We've just launched v2.5 of SatCat5, the open-source FPGA Ethernet switch [1]. SatCat5 contains various FPGA building blocks that let you build a custom mixed-media Ethernet switch. It was originally intended for cubesats [2] but has many other potential applications. The headline feature for this release is support for the IEEE-1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP). SatCat5 has demonstrated end-to-end synchronization to within 50 ps-rms, which is approaching the world-leading performance of CERN's White Rabbit Project [3]. Except we're doing time-transfer over regular, non-synchronous…

ChatGPT▲1,643A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
