My experience with Snowmass 2 was not great. I originally had the beta version of Snowmass 1 and was thrilled with the sound. I updated to Snowmass 2 with the understanding that it sounded the same as Snowmass 1. It sounded just OK at first but I assumed it would improve over time. For 10 days i…

Pic code changed as well, not just the version number

[image] chris5: Pic code changed as well, not just the version number If you are referring to anything in my post I’m slightly confused by this statement. In Snowmass I think we understand that it’s the PIC code changes (or for some the Bridge code changes) that are being talked about. If y…

Ted, could you talk a little about the compile process? It’s very interesting to hear that each compile finds different/unique ways to generate the same answer. I guess my question is, why doesn’t the compile find the same way to configure the FPGA each time if the set of parameters you’re giving it…

The FPGA place and route code is indeed deterministic: given the same source and the same pseudo random number generator seed (and the same processor description, etc.) it will produce the same placement and routing. But whenever you have a search space that is huge it’s extremely easy to find a lo…

For those who are curious about those versions of Torreys: [image] Torreys Final Posted DACs There’s plenty of confusion, but Torreys Final is the most stable for the most people. There are some unresolved Bridge issues and I don’t know if they’ll require an update of mor…

The term “observer” has misled many in the discussion of quantum indeterminacy. It’s more helpful to think of it as being indeterminate until the situation requires it to have a single value. When we make “observations” with our tools it puts the system into a state which cannot continue to be inde…

dvorak , what you’re referring to is this?

Sorry Ted, I thought you were saying the only difference between Snowmass 1&2 was the version no

No problem, I suspected that was the case, but apparently I like telling stories so much I seem to take any opportunity :slight_smile:
