When will the leaderboard get updated?

Hi @Mohit5143 , The leaderboard is updated now, and includes your latest leading entry. The process of updating the leaderboard is not yet fully automated, so the human review means new submissions will not appear for 1 or 2 days. This will get smoother with improvements being made based on learni…

Hi Russ and Cameron, quick question about the browser lab VM: does it have outbound internet access (like cloning repos from GitHub), or is egress blocked so we should plan to paste files in through the terminal?

Hi Hozaifa, No, the ODT machines do not permit either inbound or outbound traffic to the internet, so you will need to copy the design parameters manually to the submission form. Regards, Russ

Hi @Ruan_Hao , Welcome to HLS academy, and I’m glad to see you have made multiple submissions as you find a more efficient design. We have received your latest submission @ 28nJ and it will appear on the leaderboard tomorrow, likely in first place, if another submission today does not surpass it. S…
