I like how he calls writing cocotb test benches the easy way and the FPGA version the "real" way of testing 😛

Every professional ASIC designer I know would probably use the exact opposite definition 🙂

thanks! Blender + Librelane basically. I ran the code snippets through a librelane build to get the final GDS, some python to extract the layers and turn them into 3D shapes, then cocotb/ngspice simulations to get the "activity" pulses. Some more python to key the animation in blender and off to render

Also awesome that you featured @psychogenic! His channel really should have a few 100k more followers than it does!

@BreakingTaps - Can't wait to see your next one.

I saw! 
Actually got a light bump in subscribers today and I'm quite certain it's from the mention.  Thanks @BreakingTaps  🙂

@BreakingTaps - It looks like your video is at 270k views so far!


[2026-09-23 12:52 a.m.] polyfractal
yeah! not terrible! although YT changed how they count views recently, so it's probably closer to 100-150k "real" views under the old system 🙂


[2026-09-23 12:55 a.m.] mithro_
@BreakingTaps - How does that compare to other videos?


[2026-09-23 12:56 a.m.] mithro_
I did see various YouTubers complaining about that or something.

upper middle of the pack I think? not a knockout viral banger, but not bad. especially for a pretty technical topic I'm not displeased.

Yeah a view used to be anyone that stayed 30 seconds or longer. now it's just anyone who clicks on the video. So if you bounce after 2s it still counts. Doesn't _really_ matter since it's kind of a vanity metric anyway (watch time is more important generally) but now all the analytics are messed up since the historical numbers don't match. just kinda irritating

@BreakingTaps - Need to figure out a more click bait title and thumbnail? 😛


[2026-09-23 3:19 p.m.] polyfractal
haha probably 😂
