Only the Most Epic Embedded Online Conference Ever!

The value of online (virtual) conferences is increasing in leaps and bounds as travel becomes more problematic and time is increasingly at a premium. Some of these events “stand proud in the crowd,” as it were. Allow me to expound, elucidate, and explicate. 

When it comes to embedded space (where no one can hear you scream), the virtual extravaganza on … Read More → "Only the Most Epic Embedded Online Conference Ever!"

Is Integral Mind’s Digital Enlightenment Platform a True Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. A lot of people (my dear old mother, for one) think I’m clever. One thing I do know is how wrong they are. I have known a lot of clever people in my time, so I have something to compare myself against, and I’m afraid I don’t come out well.

TASKBOTs Set to Seamlessly Integrate into Human Workplace Environments

I fear that my poor old cranium has been crammed to capacity with contemporary concepts. For example, I have always understood the abbreviations HIL or HITL to mean “hardware-in-the-loop” in the context of simulation and emulation. Now, however, I have discovered they can also refer to “human-in-the-loop,” which is an experience I’ve not hitherto enjoyed myself.

Findchips: From Engineer’s Hack to Advanced Component Search Engine

As I may have mentioned on occasion, one of my favorite science fiction movies is the 1982 American-Hong Kong dystopian science fiction movie Blade Runner, which was directed by Ridley Scott and is often rated as one of the greatest sci-fi films ever (it was based on the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick).
