summary
Several short projects hit actionable milestones: FP lib fixed‑point library shrinks SystemVerilog multiply‑add from ~30 lines to three, is taped‑out and runs through Cadence and Vivado, and is on GitHub; a garage‑fab effort produces 3D‑printed spin coaters, iterative tube furnaces and a CMU‑stepper derivative aiming for small‑scale lithography; Wafers Space GF180 20mm² slot promises >500 raw dies in <3 months at $6–8k per slot; a Sky130 schematic repo reports 50 of 400 schematics hand‑implemented with LVS; Packet Badger gives pingable Ethernet simulation at ~5 ms.
