Bit of #science up next, with a paper detailing a flexible, soft gesture sensor capable of distinguishing deliberate movement from running, driving, high-frequency vibrations, and even being at sea - could be used for hands-free control of underwater robots in the future. Maybe.
For the edge-AI crowd, Kneron's expanding its efforts with the KNEO Pi - a #RaspberryPi style (naturally) single-board computer powered by a quartet of Arm cores and its in-house neural coprocessor. Claims it can handle YOLOv5 at over 30 frames per second in a 2W power envelope, which is pretty good.

Now, a little personal background for this next one so you can appreciate how boggled my mind is: my first personal computer had an eight-bit processor running at 3.5MHz. My first IBM compatible had an eight-bit chip running at a whopping 9.54MHz.
#STMicroelectronics has just announced an 800MHz *microcontroller*, the STM32V8 - its most powerful STM32 yet. And, yes, way faster than my old PCs' CPUs. Huh.
Lovely project from @violenceworks next: a GPU-accelerated autorouter plugin for @kicad, which did in a couple of days what it would have taken a CPU-driven autorouter literal months to complete. Available for experimentation now!
