Verification Engineers Are Poised to Become Verification Scientists

There are many ways to categorize engineers—to “slice and dice” them, if you will. I’m speaking figuratively, of course (we don’t want anyone to get any unfortunate ideas…especially since… the incident). Just sticking to the electronics realm, we have analog and digital, hardware and software, those who simulate and those who solder, those who document and those who don’t—and the French.

When AI Comes Home to Roost: Meet the SYN765x Wi-Fi-7 AI-Native Connected MCU

I think most of us have come to appreciate how incredibly useful AI can be, and it’s getting more efficacious every day. The funny thing is that it’s becoming harder to remember a time before AI (much like younger people being unable to visualize a world without high-definition flat-screen TVs, smartphones, wireless connectivity, and the internet).

Although researchers from many fields—computer scientists, mathematicians, neuroscientists, … Read More → "When AI Comes Home to Roost: Meet the SYN765x Wi-Fi-7 AI-Native Connected MCU"

Bumblebees Can’t Fly, and Humans Can’t Exist (I Have Proof)

I’m feeling more than a little existential at the moment. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a cream for that. I was going to say, “Don’t worry, it’s not catching.” However, the more I think about what I’m about to tell you, the more I fear we might discover that it is.

The idea that bumblebees shouldn’t be able to fly … Read More → "Bumblebees Can’t Fly, and Humans Can’t Exist (I Have Proof)"

Tensilica HiFi iQ DSP: Voice AI Meets Immersive Automotive Audio

I Doff My Cap to the New Hailo RPi AI HAT+ 2

As usual, my head is aswirl (like “awash,” but a tad less rambunctious) with cogitations and ruminations about all the once-impossible things I’ve been exposed to recently. I feel like the White Queen in Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, who famously said, “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” All I can say is that she was an amateur … Read More → "I Doff My Cap to the New Hailo RPi AI HAT+ 2"
