  Is there something like an Extract-SPICE tool that takes a circuit and gives you back a text rendering of it ?

  people who can do this stuff are super-smartypants

  but reminds me how we're going to find out on an industrial level when the Saudis give China some nvidia chips they were grifted

  they've cloned lots of chips before but nothing that advanced

  looks like they didn't post any blog post about 2nd NN challenge (https://huggingface.co/spaces/jane-street/droppedaneuralnet)

  I was waiting for some writeup about permutation decyphering

  That sounds like a fun challenge. Feels a lot more tractable than the neural net one.
