@FelixCLC_ The research suggests they are 'manipulating atoms'. The GTC keynote ref'd to applications in devt of molecules, mechanical systems etc plus physics EDA startups. Tho skilled trades in dc building getting well paid now.

opportunity missed for "everything is pipes" with mario and a bash terminal :(

@sallywf That's one to print to put on your wall/fridge. Did I spot you during the Keynote? I'm always curious about who is there cf OFC or other events. I saw Alex Kendall in the pre-event post about AVs. Were many others fr 17 UK companies Nvidia invested in last year there?

Great to spend some time with Toy Jensen at GTC! #livex

@IanCutress @PGelsinger Thanks

@TMS_IEEE @PGelsinger The new chair is Craig H Barratt, the ex Atheros CEO, not Craig R Barrett, the ex Intel CEO.

A pushup competition with @PGelsinger. I rarely workout and need to lose weight. Pat does calesthetics. I lost by a lot 🙃😁 Full 60 minute interview coming live next week or two.

@FelixCLC_ The YouTube channels of many F1 teams have a lot of behind the scenes engineering content than ever before. Great to see interest in racing extend behind the driver. Hybrid devt more important to Mercedes than others. Paddy left to work on fuels. Great to see advances realised

Here we go!!!!

@profserious The 2003 HE White paper by Charles Clarke was supposed to improve UK productivity & skills. Fdn degrees & new courses have failed. Ditto Drayson on Defence Industry. Cable, Willetts et al also got so much wrong wrt electronics & industry. Need authentic voices not echo chamber

Another Modest Proposal: 'being a suggestion for shortening the Bachelor’s degree, improving its efficiency, and rendering it somewhat more useful to students, universities and the publick' by @profserious profserious.substack.com/p/another-mode… #HigherEducation #Universities #AcademicTwitter

@ATaylorFPGA @JamesFrith Have you checked out the AI Minister? My mother was Welsh speaking fr mining village, not sure how Kanishka Narayan 'represents' the community. How will he make AI "maker not taker"? when UK participants at Indian AI Impact Summit were not ppl I'd quote

@JamesFrith You studied Politics and Economics, then entered the political bubble. Do nothing you are not qualified or competent to make any decisions regarding Science Innovation and Technology.

I am honoured to have been appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and Parliamentary Secretary in the Cabinet Office. It is a privilege to be asked to serve in a Labour Government and to get to work delivering change for our country. This is a mammoth role and one I intend to relish. I will have the opportunity to help drive digital transformation across government, improve public services, and get the foundations right for secure, trusted digital access. Done properly, this work can make everyday interactions with the state simpler, safer and more efficient for millions of people. I am also proud to be the first Minister from Bury North for almost 30 years and the first Labour Minister our constituency has ever had. That is a responsibility I take very seriously. My first duty remains to the people of Bury North and I will continue to work as hard as ever for our community, standing up for local families, championing our schools and businesses, and delivering the change Bury expects.

@tim_minshall I attended RAEng debate ab Manufacturing where Sir Mike Gregory was defeated by editor of FT & other 'influential' people. But those voting were members. Attn paid to UK Eng is pitiful. Read recent Antwerp Declaration & Belgian speech On IWD I see no real progress for WiE

This quote from C.P. Snow's 1959 lecture was sent to me this morning. Still true? #manufacturing #science #arts #humanities

@collision @glangley @Flock_Safety Excellent discussion & fascinating examples of impact on crime by use of security hardware. I'd be happy for it to be used here. The work that experienced aero engineers are doing nr me (Milton Keynes, UK) is transforming rapidly. This & Zipline inspiring Better than fintech 😂

This episode of Cheeky Pint covered a super interesting new domain for me: the technologies that have rapidly become critical for police work in the US. @glangley of @Flock_Safety describes how they are helping clear over one million cases each year, how the balance of power between criminals and police is evolving, why crime spiked during the pandemic, how police departments are using and fighting drones, and much more.

@Underfox3 Amazing, he & Wally (Silvaco) are fixing the right problems. I had dinner in London w Craig & his outstanding wife Barbara - she supported women engineers. The Intel School Fair in Dublin bigger than anything in UK. At last ppl are recognising how hard HW is

Today Intel finally took a decisive step in its healing process: The removal of the cancer. May Intel recover and return to its former glory. newsroom.intel.com/corporate/inte…

@DavidBennett__ Interestingly, I'm seeing a shift in attitude towards hardware & the need for electronic engineers. Now that energy, interconnect & packaging are important topics EEs are needed. Also, domain experts using Agentic AI tools to improve their sector will work with coders. Fun time

I am curious @TMS_IEEE - wonder if it’s available somewhere to read?

Umm… This might be the single best “textbook” I’ve read … ever? makingsoftware.com Covers topics I know, I thought I knew, and ones I’ve always wanted to know. I’ve been using NotebookLM to ingest content recently but @DanHollick has set it up so you have to read it 👏🏻

@DavidBennett__ Paul Ford recently wrote a much shorter article about Vibe Coding that captures the shift between both pieces nytimes.com/2026/02/18/opi…

@DavidBennett__ The 2015 issue was devoted to a basic understanding of Software. The growth of online services & apps put technical skills & terms into required business language. It was a fun piece about Dev life, he still writes bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-… bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-…

@DavidBennett__ @DanHollick Reminds me of Bloomberg BusinessWeek issue by Paul Ford, "What is Code?". Interactive online version removed but I bought several copies of print version as I (like many geeks) keep items as 'timestamps' on state of progress.

@stratechery Book arrived in the UK yesterday.

2-26-2026 ($) An Interview with Bill Gurley About Runnin' Down a Dream stratechery.com/2026/an-interv…

@hpcnotes @manairport A familiar complaint about infrastructure. I often say "those who deny a problem are never going to fix it". The manner of rebuttals is galling. Yet academic studies on Smart Buildings & passenger flow have been written for years. Were perf metrics wrong? Wasted potential of Mcr

Ridiculous traffic problems at @manairport yet again - people at risk of missing flights trying to get to T2 drop off - how can MAG pretend anything other than that the T2 saga has been a disaster of planning and execution.

@glennklockwood tldr :- Question the assumptions made about the value of GPUs. I love these statements of what we Brits call the "bleeding obvious" I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the big tech CFOs have an informal get-together (not Davos!).

Food for thought: B200 GPUs appear to have lost 73% of their value in the last nine months.[1] At this rate, the Solstice system at Argonne (100K B200) will have no commercial value before it comes online. Maybe that’s what makes it affordable. [1]: julsimon.substack.com/p/two-markets-…

@IanCutress I'm sure that your geek antenna will be observing use of tech there. Payment systems, number of EVs, quality of trains & entertainment - any trends before MWC? I'd be fascinated by the bookshops & everything made with unique craftsmanship. Pls share a garden photo Enjoy the rest

At the airport, going to spend two weeks in 🇯🇵 for some R&R. Okinawa, Osaka, and Tokyo. Despite being a techie, will be my first visit!

@DavidBennett__ Thank you for this. Excellent start to writing about being across the table from buyers. It's clear many ppl failed to understand risk, supply chains, roadmaps, benchmarks, strategy & vendor relationships etc. Hope you share more ab decision making in industry

It would seem that I need to say @IanCutress & @sallywf have a new AI Hardware video. While looking for a post by either, I discovered a nice article by @DavidBennett__ Calibre of my feeds about semi is great, tho I'd love some customer stories ab choices youtu.be/pWLC9GYbp1A
