Today, I'd like to summarize the paper "AlphaEvolve: A coding agent for Scientific and Algorithmic Discovery" published by Google DeepMind in 2025. AlphaEvolve: A Gemini-powered coding agent for designing advanced algorithmsNew AI agent evolves algorithms for math and practical applications in computing by combining the creativity

The presidential election is coming up soon. What I'm primarily interested in is technology policy. After all, 'exports' are Korea's only way to make a living. Korea has grown well as a Fast Follower, but we're still struggling with the next phase—

The semiconductor industry has been relentlessly pursuing Moore's Law for decades, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in chip manufacturing. Despite extraordinary advancements in fabrication technology, terrestrial manufacturing faces increasingly formidable physical constraints. As we approach process nodes below 2nm, the conventional challenges of yield

"I will study semiconductors until I die. And I will share the knowledge I have learned." https://www.linkedin.com/in/vlsikr/ I’m driven by a passion for achievement and sharing knowledge. VLSI and Writing is my hobby that brings me joy and lets me connect with

This is VLSI, a brand new site by Chase Na that's just getting started. Things will be up and running here shortly, but you can subscribe in the meantime if you'd like to stay up to date and receive emails when new content is published!
