    Generative AI for Dirty Jobs—The Next Industrial Revolution?

    Christopher Savoie, the founder and CEO of Zapata Computing, has had a fascinating career journey. After beginning as a young programmer working with early computers, he switched gears to immunology and biophysics in Japan and is now founding AI companies. Along the way, he was also involved in creating the foundational technology for Apple Siri, working on early language models embedded in agents to solve complex natural language problems. In this interview with our host, Daniel Bogdanoff, Savoie highlights the evolution of AI into specialized systems. Like an orchestra, small, task-specific models working in ensembles are more effective than large, monolithic ones.  He also shares how AI transforms automotive, motorsports, and grid management industries.  Savoie recounts his experiences at Nissan with predictive battery analytics and Andretti Autosport, where AI-driven simulations optimize race strategies. Savoy warned about the potential misuse of AI and big data, advocating for ethical considerations, especially around privacy and government control. Despite these challenges, he remains optimistic about AI's potential, expressing a desire for tools to handle complex personal organization tasks, such as multi-modal time and travel management.

    QSPICE Circuit Simulation: A Spicy Discussion with Mike Engelhardt

    If you are interested in electronics, history, or simple amazing stories, you will enjoy this podcast interview with our Moore’s Lobby host, Daniel Bogdanoff. Mike Engelhardt has been developing simulation tools since 1975. He is best known for creating LTspice, which is believed to be the most widely distributed and used SPICE analog electronic circuit simulator in the world. Recently, he realized that he could take advantage of the massive improvements in both hardware and software to develop a radically improved circuit simulation engine; thus, QSPICE was born. Engelhardt explains how he created a better SPICE tool that could dramatically increase simulation speed while simultaneously improving functionality, accuracy, and reliability. As you will hear, Mike’s amazing career includes developing simulation tools for applications as diverse as scanning electron microscopes and locating underground petroleum deposits. Here are a few more teasers about what you will hear in this far-ranging discussion with Engelhardt: -The biggest early roadblock to simulation adoption in the EE world. -Why simulations are more important than hardware to an engineer. -The importance of time-domain simulation. -Insights into QSPICE for power simulation of wide bandgap semiconductors like GaN and SiC.

    Improving Electronic Design Collaboration by Shifting Left and Right

    Ananth Avva is “a big believer that if you give human beings the right type of information and you contextualize it, they will make the right decision ultimately for the organization.” In his current role at Altium as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cloud Platform, he is leading efforts to improve and accelerate collaboration because “collaboration trumps everything else” as it drives speed to market, lower costs, and more efficient development. He has seen companies attempt to transition engineering teams to software-as-a-service (SaaS). In his experience, “that usually goes sideways pretty fast.” With Altium 365, Avva and his team are trying to seamlessly bring SaaS into engineering. Their goals are to enable what they call shifting left and shifting right. When shifting left, they aim to take decisions that were traditionally late in the product life cycle and move those requirements earlier in the design process. This can allow the procurement, operations, compliance, and manufacturing teams to provide vital context for better design decisions. Similarly, shifting right passes design information downstream more quickly to avoid costly delays or respins. If your organization is developing electronic products, you will benefit from this Moore’s Lobby podcast discussion hosted by Daniel Bogdanoff. Avva explains that companies consistently overestimate the cost of change and underestimate the benefits. They may also have the wrong “whys” behind why not to change. He goes on to explain that these can be “a bit of a phantom menace.” In his opinion, these are changes all companies will need to make to remain competitive in the market: Let's say you don't do it. The world is headed that way anyway, so what happens? Let's fast-forward five years, you're gonna have to do it.
