Gearing up for tonight's decap run.
In the queue: 5x PIC12F683 for delayering, XC6SLX25, XC7S25, ATSAMA5D27, 25AA1024
I'm not bothering to label the sample beakers because I know what most of these chips will look like from having seen other parts in the family. The ATSAM is the main unknown.
Anybody know what foundry it was made at? What node? We'll find out soon I guess.

Quite the storm tonight. The wind is strong, but the rain is astonishing.

SD3.5-Flash: Distribution-Guided Distillation of Generative Flows
We present SD3.5-Flash, an efficient few-step distillation framework that brings high-quality image generation to accessible consumer devices. Our approach distills computationally prohibitive rectified flow models through a reformulated distribution matching objective tailored specifically for few-step generation. We introduce two key innovations: "timestep sharing" to reduce gradient noise and "split-timestep fine-tuning" to improve prompt alignment. Combined with comprehensive pipeline optim…

André Rieu was my grandfather's favorite musician. He would listen quietly on the stereo after my grandmother went to bed, almost every single night.
I have fond memories of the weekends and holidays spent at their house, getting out of bed to use the bathroom, or get a glass of milk, walking in on the quiet music in the living room.
