low power, linux, AI

Tte0 anyone here who's been working in the industry for years?

Ming•10/13/24, 1:07 PM

Does 30 years in the industry count?
The only thing one can say with certainty is: Smaller, Faster, Cheaper
There will always be a split between Bare Metal, RTOS & Linux - mainly because these fill difference niches. There will just be more of all three.

My only guess is that the AI bubble will burst. At the moment, you just slap an 'AI' label on it and then go raise some investment. This is something I have seen too many times with DotCom, Web2.0, etc, etc.
They all burst - leaving the things that actually had purpose space to grow properly.

LLMs are good for helping, but they don't understand.
There is a lot of good AI/ML out there, but is in far more specific areas not general level intelligence.
When I was researching AI in 1992, full AI was always '20 years away'. 30 years later, it is still '20 years away'! Saying that, the advances are coming through far more rapidly now.
As embedded gets more powerful, then yes, there will be a lot more 'AI' at the edge as there has always been a flow of technology down to the smaller devices. I remember when having a network stack on a hand-held device was exciting!

I’m curious how much the Musk Optimus robots “understand” at this point. You’d think they would have to at least to some extent to perform as advertised.

Umesh Lokhande•10/13/24, 2:35 PM

These days I see embedded devices in two forms, low-power battery operated devices used widely in IoT. And other category is power-hungry devices, capable of running n training AI algo. and require huge compute. Now as future is AI, with embedded devices surely become more expensive in terms of power consumption. Because energy is not yet cheap at many geo. But, I agree and enjoy reading news and learning associated cost in the market for operation and deployment. By the way it's possible to run small logic (pre-trained model) in the form of rules to perform at the edge for battery-operated embedded devices. Now you can called it as AI or not is very subjective. Happy to hear from others perspective.

I have a tds sensor in the data sheet that reads from 1000-0 PPM, but there is a project on the market that has the same sensor attached to it, which is the tds meter v1, that reads up to 10,000. How did it manage to do that? Can anyone help me?

Are you sure it’s the same sensor? Did you double check the sensor datasheet (not a wiki) and also double check the product is in fact using the same sensor and only that sensor?

It's possible, you may need to use OTA feature provided in Blynk Cloud. It has a dedicated OTA tab in the dashboard. I mean you can change the password in the form of new firmware release (over the air) update

The features that have been most useful are the 'What is this random, unlabelled component' and it tells you not only what it is, but for a transistor, what the pins are, etc.
Also, the waveform generator is great for testing speakers to see if it is the speaker or the electronics that have broken.

Umesh Lokhande•10/15/24, 4:05 PM

You don't need to modify any file. All you should do is edit your code with updated password and compile a project using

Skecth --> Export Compile Binary

Skecth --> Export Compile Binary

in Arduino IDE to generate

.bin

.bin

file. Now this binary file can be uploaded into target hardware i.e. on ur Arduino R4 from OTA Tab of a Blynk Dashboard. This way you can change the password, remotely from anywhere. I hope this will help. Best wishes!

Hey guys, with the recent evolution in AI and Robotics what do y'all think?

Should AI-driven automation be prioritized over human workers to mitigate risks and enhance operational efficiency in industries where safety and precision are critical such as mining, construction, and manufacturing?

Considering factors such as job displacement, long-term cost implications, ethical concerns, and the evolving nature of AI capabilities.

What balance do you think should be struck between leveraging automation and maintaining a human workforce to ensure both safety and job security?
@Middleware & OS @MCU, MPU & Firmware

Edison_ngunjiri•10/15/24, 6:34 PM

By providing more training ,you can transfer human workforce to other roles.
Government can provide restrictions to protect the workers rights and promote fair distribution of automation benefits
The automation should supplement and not replace human workforce.

ke7c2mi•10/15/24, 11:18 PM

Idealistically I like to think we can reduce our role as engineers to improving the "efficiency" of humanity through technology. We bring new capabilities, and make old capabilities cheaper and easier and more accessible.

If we do so well that not every person needs to work for us all to have a good standard of living, I see that as a good thing. (Note on this, if embedded got fully automated, I like to think I could still flash leds on my desk for fun)

The real problem there is social / political. Less work needed should just mean more time for frolicking
