Playing the long game gives you such an advantage over competitors. Hardly anyone else is doing it. They haven't chosen not to. They just haven't explicitly thought about the question, and the default is not to.

the highest amount of “wisdom per word” in a book, and i’m not sure it’s even close.

Two years ago @elonmusk told us his ‘nutty’ idea to ‘catch the largest and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it out of the air.’

Looks like it wasn’t so ‘nutty’ after all.

NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion.

I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

RIP, Charlie Munger
One of the last authentics.
WSJ, Mark Spitznagel, founder, Universa Investments:
"Munger was a guiding light that taught a generation (or two, or three) of investors, including me, how to think—what to focus on, what not to focus on, the importance of mental models, and how to avoid so much of the BS from the industry and academia."

We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.

@meetingcpp I am looking forward to share my thoughts about important feedback loops and how we can replace register-based testing for GPIO, CAN etc with something that runs on the physical hardware.
External microcontroller interfaces are conceptually replaced by mocks and stub.

It was great fun to co-exhibit with our Partner @SEGGERMicro at last weeks @emBOconference .

For Cortex-M based microcontroller, we use their J-Link technology inside the ExecutionPlatform to flash test binaries. The user can also open Segger Ozone and debug the test remotely!

[embeff @embeff]

Today we are previewing the next generation ExecutionPlatform at @emBOconference.
It has built-in support for connecting an external logic anaylzer that lets you view any of your microcontroller pins.

[Daniel Penning @DanielPenning]

@emBOconference It was a pleasure to be back in person. Thanks for having me!

[emBO++ @emBOconference]

What's Open Loop Testing and is it the missing link for embedded testing? @DanielPenning knows it at #emBO23

ChatGPT was dropped on us just bit over 24 hours. It's like you wake up to the news of first nuclear explosion and you don't know yet what to think about it but you know world will never be the same again. Here some interesting snapshots of this "explosion"🧵:

A tribute to all the speakers of the past years!

Thank you for your loyalty and support!

***Safe the Date for the next emBO++***

23.03. - 25.03.2023 in Bochum Germany

More information coming soon

@aswath2481 @arBmind If you need this in a corporate setting, you might check out our ExecutionPlatform, which integrates all things related to on-target testing and includes a working test port. https://t.co/GEuVNMFHzO

[Daniel Penning @DanielPenning]

@meetingcpp @aswath2481 It depends on your available ram/flash. Unity is very light-weight and will run on all cortex-m targets. But it is C. If you can make flash available in the order of > 200-300kB gtest (cpp) will work great on embedded targets.

[Erik Bernhardsson @bernhardsson]

Something that old boring process literature talk about (Toyota, The Goal etc) that applies to software engineering 10000000% is that minimizing the size of the feedback loop is much more important for productivity than minimizing idleness
