There are many things I’ve not really thought about before. I don’t like to boast (I pride myself on my humility), but I bet I’ve not thought about more things than most people. One reason I say this is that I keep on being introduced to new things I’ve never even considered.

Sometimes I try to capture a column’s intent in a short, snappy title using pithy prose, as it were. I might attempt an aphoristic or epigrammatic turn of phrase while trying not to appear gnomic (which—as we now see—is something I reserve for my opening sentence).
In this case, however, my Speeding AI and HPC Workloads with Composable Memory … Read More → "Speeding AI and HPC Workloads with Composable Memory and Hardware Compression / Decompression Acceleration"
I wish I were going to attend the forthcoming IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition, which is scheduled to take place next week as I pen these words. There’s a buzz building around this year’s event like “I know not wot,” as it were.

I can’t believe how fast things are moving in artificial intelligence (AI) space (where no one can hear you scream). As one example, I just saw a video of a high school student called Benjamin Choi who built a prosthetic arm that he can control with his mind using AI.

My podcast guest this week is Alex Iuorio from Avnet. Alex and I discuss Avnet’s recent Insights Survey including the motivation to create this survey, the skills needed to incorporate AI capabilities into our designs, and the AI related engineering concerns garnered from this survey. Also this week, I explore how mushrooms and coffee grounds can be used as 3D printing material and could be used as a … Read More → "The Next Steps Forward: How AI is Shaping Electronic Design"
As one gets older, one becomes ever more set in one’s ways, and one increasingly uses words like one to refer to oneself. One manifestation of this is that I often find myself responding to things with “canned” replies, as if flying on conversational autopilot mode.
Take, for example, when someone says, “So, that’s the … Read More → "We Haven’t Got a Plan, So Nothing Can Go Wrong!"
