‘I Feel Like Little God!’ | The Pop of the TOPS | The Most Hated Company in The Biz

The Weekly Briefing podcast: What makes engineers tick? We’ve been doing these surveys, called the Mind of the Engineer, every two years going on nearly three decades now. Jim Warrick of Beacon Technology Partners did the most recent survey for us, and it is chock-full of useful data. We talk with Jim about what’s behind the numbers. Also, the electronics industry loves to establish benchmarks — and then trash them for being insufficient for one reason or another. Junko talks with Ian Riches, who just wrote a report on using TOPS (trillions of operations per second) as a measure for AI processors and accelerators.
