whitequark: They are building a thing which is kind of similar to a polywell but uses a novel approach to prevent the major losses polywells have

whitequark: It was a pretty high level talk for us Fusion noobs
<mithro>
they are working on reproducing their theoretical results in reality - the hardest part of all physics :P
<mithro>
IIRC even if they are one order of magnitude off they still better than break even
<whitequark>
ok, my clever conda proxy hack didn't work, which is not really very surprising
<whitequark>
i rolled it back, should be no more failures for that reason

artiq/master b931096 whitequark: transforms.artiq_ir_generator: fix While codegen (closes #207).
<whitequark>
or conversely, why did it ever work on travis
<whitequark>
oh hang on, I know what happened.
<whitequark>
conda-build reordered a bunch of crap, and since Travis always pulls the latest version, and it used an equivalent of the code I used on buildbot above which broke, at some point it started always failing
<whitequark>
sb0: artiq_coretool is broken
<whitequark>
and I don't understand how
<whitequark>
ugh, you just removed it
<sb0>
artiq_corelog?

is there anything else than the riscv hdl and the test applications there?
<cr1901_modern>
It doesn't mention anything about who provided the photonic peripheral. Just the software front end that was used to incorporate it into the design.
<cr1901_modern>
Unless I'm misunderstand what "photonic peripheral" means (analogous to a cell in a standard cell library?)
