I’m excited to share the news that Elecia White will deliver a keynote talk at the Hackaday Remoticon in just a few short weeks. Get your free ticket now!. Elecia is well-known throughout the embedded engineering world. She literally wrote the book on it — or at least a book on it, one I have had in my bedside table for reference for years: O’Reilly’s Making Embedded Systems: Design Patterns for Great Software. She hosts the weekly Embedded podcast which has published 390 episodes thus far. And of course Elecia is a principal embedded software engineer at Logical Elegance, Inc working on large autonomous off-road vehicles and deep sea science platforms.

Vancouver-based fintech startup Embed secured $60 million from investors in equity and debt as it gears up for product launch later this year. The company is building a financial infrastructure platform that will allow customers to easily add stock trading to their own products. Its founder and CEO Michael Giles previously led Cash App Investing, a subsidiary of Square, which bought his company Third Party Technologies in 2019.

When TikTokker Emily Mariko cuts up all of her vegetables at the start of each week—carefully rinsing, slicing, and storing them in gleaming glass-bottomed tupperware—the affair is completely hypnotic, an experience that for some reason feels desirable to inhabit. The click of each rubberized lid, the soft clip of a just-cut bunch of spring onions, the scratchy racket of the salad spinner? It’s music, or even arguably ASMR. Mariko, a 29-year-old established lifestyle YouTuber, has in recent weeks been hailed as the “opposite of Schadenfreude” by The Cut. In the title of one of Kate Lindsay and Nick Catucci’s Embedded newsletters, she is implicitly referred to as Jesus Christ. Her brand of hyperorganized cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping has taken off stratospherically in the past month—with no signs of stopping.

Matt is a passionate journalist who loves nothing more than good reporting, music and comedy. At KUNC, he covers breaking news stories and the economy. He’s also reported for KPCC and KCRW in Los Angeles. As NPR’s National Desk intern in Culver City during the summer of 2015, he produced one of the first episodes of Embedded, the NPR podcast hosted by Kelly McEvers where reporters take a story from the headlines and “go deep.”

A narrow challenge to a law banning broadcasts of criminal proceedings may help expand journalists’ ability to cover trials. The production team of Embedded, the NPR podcast that chronicled the aftermath of a 2018 mass shooting in Annapolis, Md., won a narrow victory for the First Amendment with the latest installment of their series.

A computational approach that is based on interface finite elements with eMbedded Profiles for Joint Roughness (MPJR) is exploited in order to study the viscoelastic contact problems with any complex shape of the indenting profiles. The MPJR finite elements, previously developed for partial slip contact problems, are herein further generalized in order to deal with finite sliding displacements. The approach is applied to a case study concerning a periodic contact problem between a sinusoidal profile and a viscoelastic layer of finite thickness. In particular, the effect of using three different rheological models that are based on Prony series (with one, two, or three arms) to approximate the viscoelastic behaviour of a real polymer is investigated. The method allows for predicting the whole transient regime during the normal contact problem and the subsequent sliding scenario from full stick to full slip, and then up to gross sliding. The effects of the viscoelastic model approximation and of the sliding velocities are carefully investigated. The proposed approach aims at tackling a class of problems that are difficult to address with other methods, which include the possibility of analysing indenters of generic profile, the capability of simulating partial slip and gross slip due to finite slidings, and, finally, the possibility of simultaneously investigating dissipative phenomena, like viscoelastic dissipation and energy losses due to interface friction.

This week’s podcast: AI is different from traditional computing, and it is stressing supporting technology in entirely new ways. That goes not only for processors (as one might expect), but also for memory chips. This week, a conversation with Steven Woo of Rambus, on the special challenges of AI. Going...
