Before we start, I should note that I always enjoy chatting with company representatives for these columns—although, in some cases, we may be asking the word “enjoy” to do some heavy lifting. Happily, conversations with folks like Kyle Fox, Senior Director at NXP Semiconductors, require no such linguistic gymnastics.

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!"

This was because I had discovered the wonderful world of science fiction. Many of the books I devoured (figuratively speaking) described Mars as a dusty frontier world with a thin, dry atmosphere. By comparison, Venus was portrayed as a foggy, … Read More → "Should We Terraform Mars (“Yay” or “Nay”)?"
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)?"
As is often the case these days, my poor old noggin is jam-packed with myriad meandering musings pertaining to AI. For example, I just started reading Road Kill by Dennis E. Taylor (you may remember Dennis as the author of We Are Legion (We Are Bob)).
