same for HDL experts

Definitely yes. Shitty company is shitty because we are utterly understaffed. We'd need like three times as many people to properly do jobs and not just make everyone the girl for everything

any moron can _program_

but describing a piece of hardware using a hardware design language requires a strong EE background

My only problem is that I'm inflexible about location

right

I did a bit of HDL but found it pretty dull. But maybe just a shitty instructor I guess

I mean, I also find it boring as hell

<:haha:318675605233336330>

but 1. it's not very exciting (few people will do it out of passion) 2. it's very much in demand (a lot of companies need hdl specialists so much that they're willing to train them themselves)

Ah that would kill me longterm 😄 My motivation to work is terribly low for a german

I do have a passion for control problems though

I'm only _really_ motivated by the exciting stuff

ye

same here

Like optimize a trajectory through a N-dimensional discrete space without doing a complete search. Just to make a powerplant run cheaper

noice

I've recently solved a nice control problem in system identification

but I can't tell you anything yet, I'm waiting for corporate to proceed with the patent application <:haha:318675605233336330>

kys

it's kind of obvious, even trivial if you really think about it, but still - no one else has done that afaik

@Deleted User care to elaborate?

Patents are a goddamn stupid system 😄 literally trying to formulate them in a way to cover as many similar ideas too without actually inventing those too

I agree

I'd rather they be done away with

Lawyers in general are terrible. My brother in law is a judge and whatever he tells me from work its all bullshit

I've seen people successfully patent trivial maths shit (think formulae) as "technologies", shit that had been invented centuries before by the likes of Gauss and Euler

@Luckbot https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2000039926A1/en

WTF!

btw why cant you talk about it? patent not even pending yet?

yes

also, I would prefer not to be doxxed

This bad on this server?

zgadnij, do you have any experience in patent proceedings in fatherland

I've been working on something for the past year, but I had so many people tell me it's unpatentable that I almost lost faith

and honestly the only reason I was looking into patents was internal uni evaluation

patentable depends very much on what patents alread exist. Some companies kind of own blanket patents for whole topics of stuff

nope, I've never had anything to do with patenting stuff apart from these 2 entries now (well, recently) that are not even pending yet

Fuck

and frankly speaking, patent law is very high on my list of concepts and things I'd prefer to continue not giving a fuck about

I could basically reuse all the grant stuff I had for the description, including the diagrams, but honestly I don't want to waste 500zł for the
