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.

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"
I constantly amaze myself by the vast quantities of useless nuggets of knowledge and tidbits of trivia that are rattling around in my poor old noggin. These typically resurface when I least expect them. For example, I could be discussing AI systems with someone, and—as improbable as it may sound—one of the examples they give might trigger thoughts of a man bending over tapping a railway wheel … Read More → "The Curious Case of the Waning Wheeltapper"
I recall seeing the very first Mad Max movie in 1979. In this torrid tale, a dystopian near-future Australia is facing a breakdown of civil order. Max (no relation) is a police officer who turns into a vigilante, which isn’t surprising when you see what he sees and experiences. All I can say is that the … Read More → "Mad Max Meets Furiosa AI"
A futurist is a person who studies, analyzes, and makes informed predictions about the future, especially regarding trends in technology, society, business, culture, economics, or science. For example, a technology futurist bouncing around today might examine developments in artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), robotics, silicon chip process technologies, and semiconductor packaging, and then discuss how these could reshape edge computing over the next 10 to 20 years.

When conversations turn to semiconductor foundries, they typically begin with leading-edge process nodes and the race toward ever-smaller geometries. However, although nanometer bragging rights dominate headlines, something quieter—and arguably more consequential—is unfolding elsewhere in the industry.
The reason for my newfound perspective is that I was just chatting with James Prior, who is a Marketing Executive at < … Read More → "Physical AI at Foundry Scale"
