I’ve said it before, and I’ll doubtless say it again; I’m a simple man. As I’ve also said before, this isn’t a pause for you to agree with me enthusiastically because I haven’t completed my train of thought. What I was trying to say was that I’m a simple man who likes a simple story.
I’ve just heard something that left me flabbergasted. Seriously. I cannot recall the last time my flabber was quite this gasted. All I can say is that if you dare to read this column, your own flabber is in danger of joining mine, so this might be a good time for you to don clothing appropriate to the occasion.
Let’s start … Read More → "Want to Run LLMs on the Edge?"
This week Mark Benton (TE Connectivity) joins me to chat all about rugged optical transceivers. Mark and I discuss how these transceivers can enable flexible embedded solutions, the challenges of unbalanced input and output channel counts in military and aerospace designs, and the benefits that modularity can bring to these kinds of designs. Also this week, I check out how you can take a trip to … Read More → "Next Generation Wafers and the Future of Optical Connectivity"
I was just cogitating and ruminating on the futuristic technologies to which I was exposed when “Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS)” first graced our television screens in 1966. Things like the flip-open communicators, which predated the launch of the world’s first flip phone by 30 years.
Also, there was artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) of a form. However, … Read More → "Open-Source AutoML for Edge AI/ML Development"
In retrospect, it’s been a funny old day with respect to retro displays and computers, starting with Numitron tubes (which use seven incandescent filaments arranged to form a seven-segment display) and ending with an 8-bit computer implemented using 1950s thermionic valves (vacuum tubes).
Now, I want you to be honest with me… am I alone in loving the technologies of yesteryear? For … Read More → "Awesome Retro Displays and Computers"
In honor of International Women in Engineering Day, I have an extra podcast episode this week! My guests are Dawn Vertz from Kohler Energy, Sarah Boen from Tektronix and Rosa Chow from TDK. I sat down with each of these esteemed engineers and discussed their journeys into the world of high tech, how the EE landscape has changed over the years and what they would like to see in … Read More → "Fish Fry Special Edition: International Women in Engineering Day"
