The Hidden Truths of AI Infrastructure: Why “Just Add GPUs” Always Fails

This week, we’re diving into the hidden challenges of AI infrastructure with David Driggers, CEO of Cirrascale. David and I chat about the surprising failure points that traditional data center planning often misses when it comes to large-scale AI deployments, why old assumptions about power, cooling, and networking simply don’t hold up anymore and why the “just add GPUs” strategy can be a recipe … Read More → "The Hidden Truths of AI Infrastructure: Why “Just Add GPUs” Always Fails"

Physical AI Robotic Ships on Patrol!

I recently received an email that essentially said something like, “Interested in physical AI, agentic AI, robotic ships, autonomy, maritime, offshore, subsea, security, ocean science… [the list went on]? If so, get in touch!”

Let’s take a step back before we race forward. Someone recently asked me how my “triage process” works for people pitching potential articles to me. I’d never really thought about this … Read More → "Physical AI Robotic Ships on Patrol!"

Want to Build Chips 10X faster and at 50% Lower Cost (Without Changing Existing Tools or Workflows)?

I have some news that will make chip and chiplet designers (we’re talking ASIC, ASSP, SoC, and multi-die systems) squeal in delight. However, before we leap headfirst into the fray with gusto and abandon (and, it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, aplomb), I just got off a call with my old chum, Adam Taylor.

As you may recall from an Read More → "Want to Build Chips 10X faster and at 50% Lower Cost (Without Changing Existing Tools or Workflows)?"
