@nprofile1q... I mean yes, this is essentially place-and-route lol.

But I don't care about path length or being optimal, I just want it to look slightly nicer than direct paths that cross over each other, and nodes, constantly.

Some failures (edges over nodes) are acceptable, there's no timing optimization in play. So I imagine a less sophisticated algorithm is doable.

I don't have budget to throw at the problem right now since my "spare change to throw at ngscopeclient" cash just got spent paying an artist to improve readability of the toolbar icons, but I might be willing to put a bounty on this in the future.

@nprofile1q... the ones i mentioned use a lot of advanced sv features iirc so probably a good test subject for that

@nprofile1q... opentitan and caliptra (which share some code) are probably both worth looking at. Mostly or entirely systemverilog

@nprofile1q... somebody on LinkedIn was just posting about some benchmarks for eda tooling assembled from various open codebase let me try to see if i can find the link

@nprofile1q... it's only 0.9 uCi Am-241 and from 2014 so there's a touch less now, but still enough i don't want it going in the trash lol.

I'd rather not deal with the hasle of shipping it to the manufacturer but that probably is an option, i expect they probably have a disposal process

@nprofile1q... yeah i know i thought that would be the obvious way to get rid of it but they don't accept any radioactive waste and specifically call out smoke detectors as not accepted

Personally I'm a straight ticket voter for hell fire and brimstone. If cleansing fire is on the ballot it gets my vote.

@nprofile1q... yeah i just know it's a known problem with crimps in general using shoddy tools

@nprofile1q... i have an official crimper and die set for minifit jr but nothing else
