Show HN: Verified 16.7M Mac chip architecture on $60 Android phone

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 10:55pm

Over 6 weeks I built and verified a complete chip architecture on a $60 Android phone using Termux, iverilog, and Yosys.

Phoenix 4096×4096 specs: - 16,777,216 MAC units (analog in-memory compute) - 50,331 TOPS @ 3GHz (25× NVIDIA H100) - 512 deterministic reasoning cores - 2 TB/s memory bandwidth - All verified in simulation

Hardware verified (15/15 passing): - Half Adder → Full Adder → 8/16/64/128/256-bit ALUs - 8-bit CPU (Fibonacci working) - RISC-V core - FPU (IEEE 754) - GPU SIMD - Complete Phoenix SoC

Also built: - ULA compiler: Plain English → 12 languages (Python, Rust, Java, Assembly, COBOL, Fortran, C, C++, Go, Kotlin, Solidity, TypeScript) - RF presence detection: 2-person tracking via WiFi signals, no cameras, 91% gesture accuracy

All code on GitHub: https://github.com/jltackett1980-cell

Built in Sikeston, MO on a $60 Android. No laptop. No cloud. No funding.

Looking for: Chip designers, semiconductor engineers, anyone interested in open silicon or analog computing. Want to tape out with Efabless or similar.

A Local-Algebraic Route to Emergent Gravity (100 Pages)

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 10:46pm

I've been developing a framework called Observer Patch Holography (OPH), which attempts to derive spacetime geometry and gravity from purely local quantum information structure.

Instead of assuming global spacetime, the construction starts with local operator algebras attached to observer patches and imposes Markov consistency constraints on overlaps. Under these conditions, metric structure and gravitational dynamics emerge from entropic consistency requirements.

The full derivation is ~100 pages and draws from algebraic QFT, operator algebras, and quantum information theory:

For accessibility:

- Conceptual book: https://oth-book.lovable.app - Interactive notebook (with diagrams + video): https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/d5249760-6ce8-44a0-927b-ccf90402711a?artifactId=fb7c0ebd-4375-4997-9cae-6558ff8977b4

I’d especially appreciate critique from people familiar with algebraic QFT, holography, or quantum Markov states. If it fails, I’d love to know precisely where.

Managing Docker Composes via GitOps

Hacker News - Tue, 02/17/2026 - 10:42pm

Built a small tool called ConOps for deploying Docker Compose apps via Git. It watches a repo and keeps docker-compose.yaml in sync with your Docker environment. This is heavily inspired from Argo CD (but without Kubernetes). If you’re running Docker Compose on a homelab or server, this lets you deploy via Git instead of SSH. Includes CLI and a clean web dashboard. MIT licensed.

Try it out if you have a second. Would love some feedback:).
