Comment on: What separates humans from AI? It’s doubt
A Big Read item from the FT by Stephen M Fleming April 16 2021 https://www.ft.com/content/1ff66eb9-166f-4082-958f-debe84e92e9e This is an excellent article and the work on self-examining systems is fascinating. I look forward to hearing more about that. I find the “confidence” ascribed to AI s often misunderstood by potential consumers of AI/intelligent systems. The software itself […]
Comment on: Is it time to call time on time zones?
An Item tin the FT by Tim Bradshaw in London August 11 2020 Pilots addressed this problem decades ago. Aviation works to ‘Zulu’ time which is the same as UTC. Times are either ‘local’ or ‘Zulu’. This eliminates problems when calculating flight durations across times zones and seasonal changes. ‘Zulu’ is simply the phonic pronunciation […]
Comment on: 3D printing can be a real source for optimism
An item in the FT by Wolfgang Münchau June 14 2020 It is not only 3D printing but a set of easy to access local manufacturing technologies that will have considerable impact. Laser cutters, CNC mills and open source design software to name a few others. In the recent activities at Makespace in Cambridge UK, […]
How to create an ecosystem to grow open source hardware
A recent paper co-authored by Microsoft Research and the University of Wisconsin has given us food for thought, and fired us up to encourage more people to develop the open source hardware system. Software has flourished due to open source innovations, but where is hardware? It’s behind, in 2013 software startups attracted fifteen times more […]
Encouraging participation from industry and academia
Open Source Hardware: Opportunities and Challenges, June 2016 The development community and hardware industry need to, as the paper states, ‘more vigorously’ collaborate in the open source ecosystem. Encouraging participation from industry and academia Interoperability is the first step to motivating contributes to OSH from both sides – making components work together easily will make […]
How to make hardware development practical
Open Source Hardware: Opportunities and Challenges, June 2016 If we can kick-start design this will generate more opportunities for industry in the future – much like the Linux ecosystem developed. How to make hardware development practical We should look at this section in terms of community and industry, each of which has their own important […]
Script ML™: decoding programming languages in the lab
Do you find that you’re locked out from using the best equipment because programming languages clash? There are a huge variety of devices available to you, but your ability to use them depends on the skills you have in-house. It is a familiar problem in both academic and industry settings, and one we have overcome […]
Five steps to developing the OSH ecosystem
Thoughts on: Open Source Hardware: Opportunities and Challenges, June 2016 Five steps to developing the OSH ecosystem The paper defines five steps required to develop the OSH ecosystem, briefly they are: Encourage individuals to contribute towards platforms and provide necessary design flows Make hardware design practical via easily available EDA tools and development platforms from […]
