Brains in the Machine: The Rise of Neuromorphic Computing (Ep. 285)

In this episode of Data Science at Home, we explore the fascinating world of neuromorphic computing — a brain-inspired approach to computation that could reshape the future of AI and robotics. The episode breaks down how neuromorphic systems differ from conventional AI architectures like transformers and LLMs, diving into spiking neural networks (SNNs), their benefits in energy efficiency and real-time processing, and their limitations in training and scalability. Real-world applications are highlighted, including low-power drones, hearing aids, and event-based cameras. Francesco closes with a vision of hybrid systems where neuromorphic chips and LLMs coexist, blending biological inspiration with modern AI.

DSH/Warcoded - AI in the Invisible Battlespace (Ep. 284)

This episode explores the invisible battlespace of cyber and electronic warfare, where AI takes center stage. From autonomous hacking bots to smart jamming and adversarial attacks on machine learning models, we uncover how modern conflicts are increasingly fought with code, not bullets — and why the future of warfare may be decided by algorithms.

DSH/Warcoded Kill Chains and Algorithmic Warfare – Autonomy in Targeting and Engagement (Ep. 282)

In this gripping follow-up, we dive into how AI is transforming kinetic operations—from identifying a threat to executing a strike.
🔍 Highlights from this episode:
How AI compresses the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act)
The spectrum of autonomy: human-on-the-loop vs. human-out-of-the-loop
Real-world systems like loitering munitions (Switchblade, Harpy) and Selective Ground Response AI (SGR-AI)
The ethical and legal dimensions of delegating lethal decisions to machines
 
As the lines blur between algorithm and operator, we explore who—or what—is pulling the trigger.

Run massive models on crappy machines (Ep. 279)

AI shouldn’t be limited to those with access to expensive hardware. This episode explores how to break down barriers by running massive AI models on "crappy machines"—affordable, low-spec devices. Clever techniques like quantization, pruning, model distillation might not be enough.
With edge offloading, we can make state-of-the-art AI accessible to hobbyists, researchers, and innovators everywhere.
By democratizing AI, we can empower individuals and small teams to experiment, create, and solve problems without needing deep pockets or enterprise-grade resources.
 
AI for everyone, on everything. Let’s make it happen.
