| 2026-02-19 19:16:05 +0100 | <geekosaur> | I date from when school English teachers were still hung up on English needing to emulate Latin (somewhat infamously, "to boldly go" was considered "illegal" because you couldn't split an infinitive in Latin, therefore it was "wrong" to do so in English) so I'm somewhat wired for an obsolete take on US English |

| 2026-02-19 19:03:26 +0100 | <edwardk> | __monty__: it was a behavioral model before we had a working fpga |
| 2026-02-19 19:03:05 +0100 | <edwardk> | gentauro: i know myrtle. our fpga product is already out and in the marketplace. |

| 2026-02-19 19:01:58 +0100 | <gentauro> | tomsmeding: replace "competent" with "cool cats" then ;) |
| 2026-02-19 19:01:37 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | I naturally read that '"competent"' as scare quotes, i.e. "allegedly competent but I'm not sure I agree" |
| 2026-02-19 19:00:53 +0100 | <gentauro> | edwardk: found it -> «We partner with all three companies whose FPGAs power accelerator cards for data centers, namely AMD, Altera and Achronix». Perhaps you should reach out? |
| 2026-02-19 19:00:52 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | gentauro: interesting, I guess that shows that I live outside of the anglosphere |
| 2026-02-19 19:00:48 +0100 | <__monty__> | Or markdown's *emphasis asterisks*. |
| 2026-02-19 19:00:24 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | like this, or if you want to stay with ascii, like _this_ :) |
| 2026-02-19 19:00:18 +0100 | <mauke> | made with "real" beef |
| 2026-02-19 19:00:04 +0100 | <gentauro> | and how would you put emphasis then? In «inglés»? |
| 2026-02-19 18:59:40 +0100 | <geekosaur> | that said, the UK has been using single qotes the same way (emphasis / focus) in news emails for a couple decades now |
| 2026-02-19 18:58:57 +0100 | <geekosaur> | it always bugs me |
| 2026-02-19 18:58:53 +0100 | <geekosaur> | tomsmeding: sadly, people have been using quotes that way for several years in the US |
| 2026-02-19 18:57:37 +0100 | <gentauro> | I think it was at IFCP Berlin where they made like a physical square shooter game in both 2D and 3D |

| 2026-02-19 18:57:05 +0100 | <gentauro> | however, I can see from the website that they have removed `FPGAs` :( |
| 2026-02-19 18:56:55 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | that's not how they work in english :p |
| 2026-02-19 18:56:46 +0100 | <gentauro> | tomsmeding: I use the quotes to put empasis ;) |
| 2026-02-19 18:55:52 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | why the scare-quotes? |
| 2026-02-19 18:53:46 +0100 | <gentauro> | they had some pretty "competent" Haskellers |
| 2026-02-19 18:53:37 +0100 | <gentauro> | edwardk: do you know https://myrtle.ai/about/ ? I recall them from ICFP back in the days (no .ai domain though) |

| 2026-02-19 18:47:03 +0100 | <__monty__> | The behavior as programmed, rather than the actual programmable gates? |

| 2026-02-19 18:42:04 +0100 | <juri_> | I think this is the second time I have run into you, and found out you're doing what i'm up to... but if i remember right, in the central north of the states? :) |
| 2026-02-19 18:41:20 +0100 | <juri_> | edwardk: i'm still working on getting my FPGAs supported by clash. |

| 2026-02-19 18:31:30 +0100 | <edwardk> | juri_: I basically prototyped positron.ai that way, modeling the behavior of the FPGAs we use. |
