Optics are moving onto the chip package
Co-packaged optics reached volume production at Broadcom, but broad adoption is still several years out.
A neural accelerator in a microcontroller costing under a dollar
TI put a TinyEngine NPU into an Arm Cortex-M0+ part priced below $1 in volume, claiming 90x lower inference latency.
What broadcast audio actually changes for hearing loss
Induction loops have served for decades. What Auracast improves, and what it does not solve yet.
Capacitors: still the first thing to check
Most equipment that fails after twenty years fails for the same reason, and it is rarely the interesting part of the circuit.
Lossless, hi-res, and what actually reaches your ears
The file is rarely the weak link. A short, unromantic look at where audio quality is actually lost.
